9. What is your job? do you like it? what do you do?

I'm the President of Lewis Media Inc - a web development company based out of Kitchener, Ontario. I spend most of my days interacting with clients, ensuring our projects are going smoothly, and out on sales calls. Although I do enjoy it, I miss getting my hands dirty with the code and design work, which is why I think I'd probably find more joy in an R&D department. However, that being said - there's nothing quite like seeing a company you've built grow and mature into what you envision it could become

qoute:14) why isnt there a torrent download of smf?(saves alot of bandwith)
the licence doesn't alow it...

There's the technical reason

Because a torrent is essentially sharing the distribution of the file, people who downloaded the file and were then seeding would be redistributing the file. Although we could claim that by using the torrent you had permission from Lewis Media, it wouldn't be written permission and then we'd have issues around trying to terminate distribution when we wanted to stop.

This is similar to the reasons why we don't have any mirrors.

We're a lot more strict about our license enforcement than a lot of comprable products out there, and so interesting redistribution methods are often unfeasible for us.

Jay - hah hah! In my survey - you'll notice that I have never smoked. Nor do I intend to, however while I was in China I was surprised how often I found myself surrounded by people who were smoking (both tobacco and pot) and just didn't know how to roll their own cigarettes or joints. It was embarassing.  I think that being able to roll a joint would be an interesting parlour trick. Like Zippo-lighter tricks.

Prasad - about 4500

Yes exactly.  You don't have to smoke it.  You can get a cigar and practice with it

1. Superb The only thing I can complain about, is how often people get confused and get angry at us for something someone said on a website. Actually, the FBI called the Lewis Media offices once, because someone had issued a death thread on an SMF board in New York city.

2. Sorry - I didn't understand that..I think you're asking me which position I would like if I were not a manager...if that's the question, then probably something like secretary. It would be nice to have a mental break without any really serious responsibilities for a short while.

3. LOL I'm going to plead the 5th Wait, can I do that?

22. Did you play hookey from class? In high school, more than I should probably admit In university, that number became appalling. In my most recent term of school I can honestly say attended less than 5% of my class time inlcuding exam times. Yes I'm a geek and actually calculated it.

so does that mean your still taking classes, or is your most recent term a couple years back?

My last term was in the fall of 2004 - did that while working full time and it almost killed me.

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.

[Thantos]

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

[Owdy]

Its too clean!

[Thantos]

If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind what is an empty desk a sign of?
