I ate half of it yesterday. As for the other half, no idea. I'd have a look in the fridge. Or maybe one of the cupboards. In all seriousness, I'd just like to say to everybody that I hope I do a good job and don't let you down. I know there's been a bit of discussion lately as to where OSDev.org is headed, and I want to make sure that direction is up. |

Huzzah!! So what're titles for some other mods? I'd say: Brendan, Emperor of General Knowledge Candy and mystran, "Masters" of Bending Time That Miss Epic Threads and Questions |

There are some good ideas that are being tossed around, and I hope I can help in making some of them happen. I'm quite honored to have been offered this placement and will try to live up to its expectations. |

Honesty and loyalty are the most important, no? The technical skillz are just a boost to the smartitude factor. |

thats all right sorry if i sounded a little harsh my primary point was intended to be that the moderators shouldnt be talking about people... and wont be giving good reasons for such decisions as that is something that should be discussed privately where non-mods cant see it (and in hind-sight, i probably said too much myself... dex, if you would like me to, i would be happy to edit it) |
