3 Ho many times a day are you getting whipped by amy?
3. LOL I'm going to plead the 5th ;) Wait, can I do that?
No you can't...
Admit to them how many times a day I have to whip you.

I always thought a clean desk was a sign of a dirty mind
and a very clean desk ...

Will SMF always be free? ;)

Who do I have to suck up to in order to get :amywhip: as an emoticon?
I've been informed that someone would remove my admin if I added it myself.

Is your desk really that neat or did you just clean it up to make the picture look better?

Nope, my desk at work is usually about that clean - I try to keep it organized, it's my way of taking a mental break when I'm stressed.

My primary responsibilities are arbitration, organization and ensuring continuity in the project. As well I interact with the lawyers on legal issues, help provide direction as required and generally facilitate.

How much is my income? As a an SMF project manager - $0. It's volunteered time. Outside of that though, that's more personal than I'd like to share here.

Do I enjoy my job? Absolutely! It's definitely worth it - both my full-time job and my work here with SMF. And although there are other things I'd enjoy trying, I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing right now :)

LOL! I forgot that this picture!

For those that don't know - this was taken by my gf while us and another couple were on a road trip down to Florida almost 2 years ago now. Yes, that's a plush gecko on my shoulder.

to tell the truth, when I saw the picture I was shocked! :P
at least you could have put SimpleMachines.org running on that screen to look loyal ;D
your picture in my mind was way different! I thought you were 30! will, was it Jeff then?

* Saleh goes and check Jeff's profile.

If the picture was taken for SMF then yeah, I would have :) But it was actually a photo taken for an article that was being written. They told me at the last minute that I needed to send them a picture, so out came the digital camera and *click*

No, I'm not 30 - although I have to admit, that I don't feel my 25 years. It's amazing how much worrying about payroll can age you ;)

Considering your surname and your looks I would have thought that you were an asian. How come you have Canadian citizenship?

oh and for sure taking responsibilities is so stressful but this is life :)

Why didn't you answer the other (not so personal) question about the whippings?

LOL Because I was born in Canada :) I'd say that's a pretty good reason. And I'm actually of mixed decent. My father is from Hong Kong, and my mother is a mix of European background. So I'm not quite white and not quite yellow. Kind of...well...manila.

Yes (of course), however the forwarding of SMF isn't the responsibility or goal of a single person - it's a team effort - including past, present and future team members. Although I can't share any of the brilliant ideas we're working on for the next version, I can say that we're sticking true our core values - and that's the competetive advantage we bring.

I truly believe that the Simple Machines development team is unique in the way we embrace providing software that is free of cost, while at the same time constantly striving to improve ourselves and eachother. It's more than just coding great software, it's about helping our users build fantastic communities, and about helping team mates develop themselves as team members and individuals.

But yes - we are definitely keeping an eye on the competition, and there are lots of surprises up our sleeves ;)

I'm assuming Yodi is a typo? I'm sorry - but Superman would totall kick Yogi's fuzzy butt ;)

I'm not sure when I'll get to that - my parents are building their retirement home on some property on the east coast of Canada, so I'll probably do it once that's complete so that I have a good starting or ending point.

And yes - I should probably go to Holland to learn that particular skill. However, I've already been to Europe, so I'm not sure when I'll get to Holland....on that particular list, I've managed to scratch off North & South America, Asia and Europe. 3 more to go!

I am a Canadian citizen, however the become a Canadian one refers to an anecdote I learned from a friend while I was in high school. Unfortunately it isn't a G-rated anecdote, so I can't share it here. ;)

And yes, I suppose I do need more whips ;)

As a note - keep in mind that although I don't mind sharing my list, I am reserving the right to not explain some items in detail, because several of them are exremely personal in nature. Thank you for understanding :)
