Oh, and did we also mention that on this same weekend another little event called Lollapalooza will be happening right across the street from Joomla Day Chicago? This event is gonna be AWESOME!

Without a doubt this has to be my favorite Joomla theme ever!    This has all the latest bells and whistles and is based on their new Pulse framework.

Anyone else find ioncube a huge pain?    I appreciate the desire or need for a developer to want to protect their code but it's such a pain to get ioncube running on most hosts..    I have a client on BlueHost and while they have a "simple one click" install for ioncube, it's an old version... DOH!    So, back to square one and after fighting with it for an hour I manage to make it work. 

Honestly at this point when I see that a tool I'm interested in uses ioncube, I start looking for another tool...   Why penalize me for being the guy that is willing to pay for your stuff when the hacker is just going to find a way to steal it from you anyway?
