Hi, I’m Shawn Plew – I’m a new software developer and support specialist here at Formstack. Let’s get to know each other.
I’m a native son of Indianapolis, Indiana. My wife and I are raising our little girl here. I earned my degree in Media Arts & Science at IUPUI, down the street from where I was born. I suppose you could say I have some deep roots.
We are looking for some eager college level interns to help us continue our growth. We know that there are some really smart young minds in and around the Indianapolis area and we can’t wait to work with you!
I Use This App is a mobile app review blog for all open source smartphone platforms. They review apps for the iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Palm OS, and Windows Mobile. I Use This App targets everyone with a smartphone who loves to download apps. Developers can benefit from this site as they provide a way to get the word out about their apps. They also benefit app users as they can help review the app before it is purchased. We talked with owner, Julio Medina on how Formstack has helped get their blog up and running.
A lot of people travel far and wide to find conferences that provide true value. Not just your typical “networking” conferences, but ones that will give you concrete tools and actions you can take home and implement. Here in Indianapolis we are lucky to have a conference that fits that criteria to a “T”. It is called the Masters of Business Online or MBO. It is a truly great conference and one that we have been a part of for all three years of its existence, either as attendees, speakers, or sponsors.
After a couple years of running tech support here at Formstack, I’ve noticed that very few of our customers employ secure passwords. Recently, we increased our standards for both Formstack login passwords and data encryption passwords, forcing users to use more characters and a mix of letters, numbers and non-alphabetic characters for encryption passwords. Since then, I’ve spoken with several users who have never had to create a secure password before and have no idea how to do so, so I decided to create this short guide.
