ComicBase Livestream #244: Fun With Passwords

Let's face it, passwords are a pain. Make one short enough to type or remember and it's easily hackable. Re-use the same password on multiple sites and you're asking for trouble. But keeping 500 separate passwords like "3l2!aX62G;Pz54{^!*7" for every flippin' website, app, and account in your life is downright crazy-making. (And that's before you add in account lockouts, enforced password cycling, and multi-factor authentication!).

Luckily, there's a way to end the madness--and best of all, it's both more secure and easier on your blood pressure. And we just added it to ComicBase. We'll tell you all about it on the next livestream. See you Thursday at 4pm!

ComicBase Livestream #243: Beyond the Direct Market

Recent developments in the book market raise a long-overdue question: can we jailbreak comics from the direct market? What does it take to get comics into the hands of people who don't have, or never wander into a comic shop? And what does it mean for the future of both your favorite comics and your favorite shops? Joins us on the Livestream for this, the latest ComicBase news, and more! See you at 4pm Thursday!

ComicBase Livestream #242: Upgrading From Older Versions

We spent a lot of time this week staring at ancient ComicBase databases and helping users get up to speed with the latest versions. We'll be giving you the lowdown on everything we learned in the process, what it means if you got stuck at the dreaded "80%" progress bar, and give you tips on how to make sure you can smoothly load old data into a shiny new ComicBase version. PLUS! Anthropic's Fable gets a case of sudden-shutdown syndrome, your questions, and more!

ComicBase Livestream #239: Where Does it Go?

Sure, entering comics in the database is straightforward enough, but what do you do about all the weird stuff: the blind bags, trade paperbacks, giant-size specials, convention souvenir programs, digital comics, art portfolios... or even that giant Superman poster they guy at the comic shop gave you? It turns out there's a place for all of it on ComicBase--and in this livestream, we'll show you where it all goes.


Plus! Possible changes for Golden Age pricing, your questions, and more. See you at 4pm Central!

ComicBase Livestream #237: Vacations and Explorations

A couple of very odd things happened last week: Pete's "whiteboard of to-do-list-doom" actually managed to clear for a whole 12 hour period, and Pete and family slipped off down to Florida for a brief, but much-needed vacation. But while Pete headed out toward the beach, much was happening behind the scenes here... some of which we'll devulge on this week's livestream.
