I everyone! This looks like a great forum with great topics. My handle is gaouzts and I am the Chief Technical Officer for a leading e-commerce company here in the Seattle area.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

Lots of good info in that link, welcome to the forums. :)

Seattle, hu? It's raining here in California, so I'm guessing it's raining there too, yes?

[mivox]

Sounds like you've got some expertise in some of our most popular e-commerce topics of late... getting a handle on payment processing is one of the biggest challenges for a DIY/startup web business.

Looking forward to your contributions! Welcome to WebmasterWorld. :)

"so I'm guessing it's raining there too"

I was in Seattle last Sunday for the Seahawks game and I couldn't believe it. It was extremely sunny and fairly warm. It is usually raining constantly during this time of year and here I was basking in the sun in the bleachers. I think I even got a bit of a sunburn on my face. Unbeliveable.

Hey, Dr - would you believe we've had rain for about 5 or 6 days here since July?

That seems a bit much, to me. :)

Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

I used to live in Olympia and worked in the Renton area. Couldn't stand the fact that the clouds look like dirty cottage cheese 8 months out of the year. Other than that, loved WA - especially the other side of the Sound. :)
