We'll be giving away some great prizes this year and hope to have some SparkFun customers join in the fun. It was great to hear about the SparkFun story from your presentation last year and we all look forward to getting caught up with all the progress you've made over the past year.</p>

I was wondering, too, what this "C " language was and why so many of our users knew it... =)</p>

JPEG only? How about some PNG in there (: .</p>

When an image is uploaded the account page looks at the <a href="http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/definitions/mimetype.html" rel="nofollow">mime type</a> of the file and only accepts those with a type of "image/jpeg". If you generate a JPEG that does not get accepted, the mime type on the file is probably something else. This can happen if:<br>
- The program that generated the image did not properly set the mime type<br>
- The image was generated as something else (like a PNG or GIF) and the extension was manually changed without resetting the mime type<br>
If you're pretty sure your image is a JPEG, try uploading it to this <a href="http://www.netomatix.com/Products/DocumentManagement/MimeDetector.aspx" rel="nofollow">mime type detector</a> to see what it truly is. If this page says your file is type "image/jpeg" it should work here. Otherwise, your JPEG is not <em>really</em> a JPEG and it needs to be re-saved as one. This can be done with any image processing program like Photoshop.<br>
If the mime detector <em>does</em> return "image/jpeg" and your file still won't upload, please email it to me at <strong>it at sparkfun dot com</strong>. Our system isn't necessarily perfect so there may be a fixable bug preventing your image from working.<br>
Thanks!</p>

Filling out a profile is now on my list of things to do. And congratulations on the article:) Ent Connect looks like it's going to be a ball (optional go-cart racing & indoor skydiving!). I'm in California so I wont be attending but it inspires me to check around my area and see if there's anything comparable.</p>
