How about a list of spyderlovers from Canada that are coming.

[CJ/johnnyg]

[Where are you getting the names for this list. I know there are alot more from Fl that are going that are not on this list. We are registered and we are not on this list either. johnnyg and CJ/johnnyg just wondering

If you registered early, I may not have had your handles (we didn't require them in the online sales until a week into it) and like I said, this isn't anything scientific. I just pulled the ones that I had handles for in the database from the online sales. I'll be happy to edit and add you into the listing, but again, this was just for fun. It isn't intended to be an official list.

Now that you mention it, Doc, Forrest and the others were early registrants too. So I'll fix them. There are also some others, so I'll pull those early ones and try to sort them out manually.

I was afraid that a listing like this might cause some confusion. Remember it was done quickly from the data I had and not a labor intensive process.

(((Oh, and you might want to edit your post and remove the quote. That is a long list to be quoting! LOL. )))

Nudle,
I'll add you to the list, but again, keep in mind that I just pulled the "paid'' registrations.

I know you were there last year and I'll add you to the "committed" list.
If you can get me a listing of our brother Canadians attending, I will be MORE than happy to put them on there!

I mentioned this to FastFraser also.

Edit: Too Funny Nudle. You are listed twice. Both in TX from where your registration showed, and now in CANADA also. Better get yourself cloned bro....

[NorthStar]

NorthStar will be there (Ontario Canada)

[nudle]

PM'ed you... Missing on the Members by state list: Dentin028 (my wife)

Got it!

Next year the state by state should be easier. The online ordering didn't have a "required" field for the SpyderLovers handle until I added it a few weeks in, and as you know a meaningful and useful database has to be designed to collect data that is standardized and easily pulled. Early on, I had a free-form field. My bad! Since I am the one who set it up that way. But changed the field type a few weeks in.

But I think next year, instead of keeping a running total in the first post, I will keep the State-by-State and just a single total at the end. I think everyone likes the state by state??

You know how it is Erick, learning from mistakes and strive for continuous improvement!

[Trooper]

Technically I am Canadian too....but I am flying in.

LOL that still counts John!!

Will add you sir!

Steve,

Being a former DBA / SA for a large company I can help if you would like more work on the database both to mine what you have and to augment the templates and information for the following year.

If you include handles from the forum, and the State you identify with as your "home", the data base can then just dump you a flat file that would be easy to maintain, and if its in webfriendly SQL tables, we could have a page that is dynamically queried when you click a link so you can get "up to the second" information, EVEN search to see if people are coming from your hometown.

Only issue would be if people did not want that information published, and that would be easy enough to put a checkbox for a binary field that would allow them to be excluded from searching by non-administrative users (aka the weblogin that generates data charts).

I think I have made this techy enough to stop now.

Anyway, if I can help, let me know.

[SteveMac]

ZRC
You must be reading my mind. I actually "dabble" a bit in that area myself and was thinking the same thing for next year. Getting rid of the static data inputs and having it be more dynamic and linking to it.

I'll be sure to keep your talents in mind!!

Thanks bro!

[SpyderGirl]

My buddies Ed, Mickey & Cindy from CA are registered and are going to be riding in with us. They aren't on SpyderLovers and neither are my parents who are coming from Indiana to meet us. This will be their first Spyder gathering.

We're looking forward to it!!!!!
