Just noticed this on my Settings screen in GMail:

Haven’t dived in to see what these features can be used for but I will do in the next couple of days….

I have a Full Access pass to the Podcast And New Media Expo in Ontario, California, On September 28th to 30th. It is paid for in full.

The pass is worth $299.

Unfortunately, I am unable to attend but my misfortune could work to your benefit as I am giving the pass to someone for free.

You do have to do a couple of things to do in order to qualify, which I will explain in a moment.

All qualified entrants will be entered into a draw and the winner will be drawn at random on September 1st 2007.

So what do you have to do to qualify for the draw to get a free pass to Podcast And New Media Expo 2007?

OK. Firstly, you need to post a link on your blog or website to my site - http://andrewbuonocore.com.

You can choose from one of the following links to use:

<a href=”http://andrewbuonocore.com” title=”Online Marketing Advice From Andrew Buonocore”>andrewbuonocore.com</a>

<a href=”http://andrewbuonocore.com” title=”Make Money Online With Andrew Buonocore”>andrewbuonocore.com</a>

<a href=”http://andrewbuonocore.com” title=”How To Make Money Online? Ask Andrew Buonocore”>andrewbuonocore.com</a>

Second, you need to give the site a Thumbs Up using Stumbleupon and also add me as a friend on Stumbleupon.

When you have done these two, send me an email to FreePass (at) andrewbuonocore.com and let me know the name of the site where you have placed the link and your Stumbleupon username and that is it!

The winner will be sent a form which has to be faxed to the Expo organisers. It has already been agreed that the pass can be transferred. Only the pass is on offer, no travel or accommodation.

Good Luck!

Well, I am done with MediaCoder. Even for free software, it is a waste of money.

I consider myself a well advanced Computer user across all flavours. When it comes to Media, I am a very proficient Adobe Premiere user, as well as After Effects but MediaCoder is the most frustrating, least user-friendly piece of software I ever (try to) use.

I have installed it three times only to use it once on each occasion and get rid of it immediately once I saw the results.

I used it tonight to split a Windows Media video file into smaller chunks for transferring to a client. It did the chunking alright, into 6 files that would not play.

I give up with it. if anyone can use this software and get anything other than a full recycle bin, I would love to know. At the moment I just think Mediacoder is a great advert for paying for your software.
