Yeah, 2 dogs
2. What is your favorite color?
I don't really have one favourite colour, although I do like blue and orange
3. What kind of music do you like?
Mainly anything that isn't Rap or Country

5. What are your goals/dreams in life?

6. What got you involved in SMF?
I got involved in SMF back in 2004, when people were desperate to get a shop mod for SMF. At the time, I was looking at about 10 or so open-source forum systems, and SMF seemed to be the best one out of all of them.
As my interest in SMF grew over the years, I noticed a few unanswered posts in the support boards. Seeing as I had nothing else to do, I started posting replies to those support queries. After doing this for a while, I got contacted by jerm, who asked me if I'd like to become a support team apprentice. After a short period, I joined the SMF team as a Customizer.
7. Who do you admire? Why?
I admire a lot of people... I admire the whole SMF Team for their dedication to producing a high-quality forum system (especially [Unknown], because if it weren't for him, SMF definately wouldn't have been what it is now)

Daniel helped me immensely when I was attempting to set up a local server. He was the only person to respond to my initial post for help (got more help later from others), AND he stayed with it for a period of a week or more as I floundered around trying to understand the very expert advice he gave me. Expert, diligent, thoughtful and a very effective communicator. He's gonna make some boss very happy after university!
Oh, yeah ! Ask him if he likes root beer! Inside joke: After getting localhost to work, I offered to buy the beers if he ever visited Texas - not knowing he won't be legal for a few years yet. (Hey! Who knew? We murricans think all Aussie's are beer drinkers after they quit pap.)
