[Acf]

why is the website of lewis media still using smf 1.0.1?!?!?!?!(all the admins/mod's here allways ****** at us about updating?!?!)

because it was heavily modified or something...

[Amacythe]

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.

[Prasad007]

what exactly do you do as the project manager ?
how much is your income?
do you enjoy your job? think its worthwhile?
wanna do something else in life??

[Joseph]

Joseph, seems you attached your image to first post. Can i show another one? Got one and its better.

Feel free

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.

Precisely

Will SMF always be free?

LOL Yes

Who do I have to suck up to in order to get :amywhip: as an emoticon?

Probably any developer - however I'd guess Compuart or Grudge

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

[Owdy]

Feel free

[Joseph]

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.

[Joseph]

to tell the truth, when I saw the picture I was shocked!
at least you could have put SimpleMachines.org running on that screen to look loyal
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

[forsakenlad]

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

[Thantos]

He's really a sleeper

[Saleh]

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

ahh! cheer up
oh and for sure taking responsibilities is so stressful but this is life

btw you saw those Tutankhamon's pictures, didn't you?

[Amacythe]

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

[Joseph]

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

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.

btw you saw those Tutankhamon's pictures, didn't you?

Yes I did! Awesome stuff!

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

Because the questions speak for themselves

[Prasad007]

oooooh spam fest!!
anyways, do you plan to further the SMF development (youre gonna say yes obviously)
but in which way and what would you like to introduce in competition with other forums ?

[Thantos]

Who would win:  Superman or Yodi?

[Acf]

So when are going to drive across Canada?

Learn how to roll a good joint, Visit every continent
Welome to holland

are you a canadian?

Become a good person
you need more whips

[Joseph]

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

Who would win:  Superman or Yodi?

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

So when are going to drive across Canada? Learn how to roll a good joint, Visit every continent
Welome to holland Are you a canadian? Become a good person - you need more whips

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
