    Name: Keli
    What I do: Mostly SEO. I head and founded the SEO unit for one of the biggest attorney portals online. I've run my own company since 1998 doing SEO, ECom development, and Web design.
    Mivite since: 1999 - first site was featured in Parade Magazine.
    Something you may not know: We were the first home in America to have fiber optics laid to it; 24 strands of single mode fiber with Sun Microsystems running the game. Our ISP moved more data through my home than any other at the time. We've since bought up most our competition and had experts come in and run it. Now? I went back to consulting. Less hectic.

          What I do: Hmm. That's a good one. Currently enjoying not doing much of anything.
          Mivite since: Oh - long time.. I was an HTMLScriptite back before MIVA was Miva.
          Something you may not know: I no longer work for MIVA. Julie and I decided that this thread was as good a time as any to spread that word. I left MIVA at the end of last week on very good terms having spent 18 months on the "inside". It was fun and I'm very happy with the direction the company is going in, and glad that I played a part in it. Some people just are not cut out for Corporate America, and 18 months was what I had in me before deciding that it would be best for all if I parted ways.
          Something non-work you might not know about me: I'm a closet rockstar.. http://www.soundclick.com/almostsane

              Been hacking mivascript since - um, I lost count but it was last millennium. Never done merchant, but have written several bespoke e-commerce systems with special requirements, which may one day evolve into something marketable. My business, Dramatic Design, is now part time - Webfarm took me on full time as lead developer so I spend my days bugfixing, enhancing and rewriting our domain registry engine and group websites.

              Things you may not know: (1) I blow things up as a sideline - I'm a licensed pyrotechnician, doing 2-3 firework displays a year. (2) I'm getting married on May 7th (3) yes of course the wedding will have fireworks!

                            Name: Rick Savoia
                            What I do: Owner of Savoia Computer, a company that specializes in custom built PCs and laptops, computer upgrades and repairs and Home and Small Office networks.
                            Mivite Since: I do not recall the exact year. I used Miva Merchant since 2.0 and occassionally visited the list archives but did not actually join the list until sometime later and was a lurker until very recently.
                            Something you may not know: spent 14 years in broadcasting before starting my own computer business. I created the first online shopping mall BBS in Florida in 1986, before the Internet was publicly available. I did e-commerce well before Miva was created. I operated it on a Commodore 64. It was very secure as the orders and credit card information were stored on cassette tape.
                            Other interests include reading, writing, biking, my family and I keep tabs on the Orlando Magic although I will probably attend games in the future if they ever get serious and try to make the playoffs.
