Position: Doc Writer Doc Coordinator


  • Do you have pets?
    Nope, I'm allergic to anything with fur, so I can't join the SMF cat lovers club, and crocodiles aren't allowed as pets apparently.
  • What is your favourite colour?
    I can't choose just one.  Red, purple, yellow, and orange are all favourites.
  • What kind of music do you like?
    A very mixed bag.  Pop music of all sorts of types, as well as classical.  I can be listening to a 'cello piece at one moment, and then switch to Roxette.  Eclectic probably sums it up :D.
  • What do you do in your free time besides spending time on SMF?
    I moderate other forums.  I'm also now working on trying to publish part of my PhD thesis.
  • What are your goals/dreams in life?
    To finish my PhD, never do any research ever again, and become a full time university language tutor.  Two achieved, one still to go :).  A bit of a re-think here, as to get into the university system I'm going to have to publish something.  To make my dream a reality, it's time to jump through some more hoops.
  • What got you involved in SMF?
    I had previously managed a phpBB forum, been a regular user on a Vbulletin forum, and then signed up to a number of fora which used SMF.  I found SMF to be my favourite type of forum software, did some hunting around to find out more information, and ended up here.
  • Who do you admire? Why?
    The Spanish teachers at school, and Spanish university lecturers who taught me on my undergraduate degree.  They were inspirational in shaping who I am today.  I also admire my parents for always being there.
  • Are you into sports?  If so which ones?
    I like watching Formula 1 and listening to cricket.
  • What is your dream job?
    Spanish language tutor. University tutor of either politics or Spanish, or maybe even both.
  • What was your first screenname?
    Irisado.
  • Do you have any piercings?
    No.
  • Are you a lefty/righty or ambidextrous?
    Mostly right handed, but my left hand can do a few things, such as removing screw on lids, better than my right.
  • Do you have any tattoos?  If not do you wish/plan to get one?
    No and no.
  • Do you have any siblings?  If so, how many of each?
    No.
  • What is your favourite website?
    40K Online and this one.
  • Do you play computer games?  If so, which ones?
    Not many.  Skyrim and the Fallout series are the only ones I play.
  • Do you play video game consoles?  Which ones?
    No.
  • Are you married or planing to get married?
    No.
  • If so do you have any kids?
    N/A
  • How many kids?
    N/A
  • How many languages do you speak?  If so which ones?
    Three if English counts ;).  Apart from English, Spanish, and some rather rusty Italian.
  • Do you drink?
    No.
  • Do you smoke?
    No.
  • Did you play hookey from class?
    Never.
  • Do you have a license?
    Assuming this means a driving license, yes.
  • Do you own a car?
    No.
  • Have you ever been stopped for speeding?
    No.
  • Do you obtain a good amount of sleep daily?
    I used to, but not any more.  I'm starting to get back into better sleeping habits.
  • How do you sleep?
    Badly.  Much better these days :).
  • Have you ever been on an aeroplane?
    Yes, and I've got more frightened every time I've done so.  This is no longer the case.  I was much better on my last plane trip.
  • Have you ever broken a bone?
    Yes, my collar bone.
  • Do you wear jewellery?  If so what jewellery do you wear?
    No.
  • How do you dress?
    Informally.
  • How many keys are on your keyring?
    Eight.  Down to five now.
  • What time do you go to bed?  What time do you wake up?
    Varies, although I am starting to go to bed earlier and get up earlier on a gradual basis.
  • What's the freakiest thing you have done?
    Tumbling out of control down a ski slope was pretty freaky.  I never want to experience that again.
  • Do you live alone?
    Yes.
  • How many hours a day do you spend in front of the computer?
    Lots of them, but not as many as before.
  • How many hours a day do you spend in SMF?
    Not too many.  Four or five perhaps.  It's on the rise though.  I tend to lose count some days, but it definitely rose to quite a few until recently.
  • What is your favourite beverage - coffee, tea, soda, beer, other?
    Water.
  • What do you hate?
    The obsession with the commercialisation of higher education and universities.  People who take decisions based on fear, ignorance, prejudice, and/or xenophobia, rather than based on acceptance, hope, inclusiveness, and the facts.
  • What do you love?
    Coastal walks in watery sunshine and walks in the park.
  • What is your religion?
    None.
  • What is your hair colour?
    Light brown.
  • How tall are you?
    About 6'2"
  • How much do you weigh?
    No idea.
  • What's the feature on SMF you can't live without?

    • As an administrator?
      Moderation tools of all types.
    • As an end user?
      The reply button  :D.

Thanks for reading.  If you have additional questions, I may answer them ;).

Yep, we're pretty close when I go back home, although I don't think that I've actually ever been to your neck of the woods.  Not that I remember at any rate.

I don't usually nag people, but I do nag Kindred sometimes in another place :D.

A Germanic language which has stolen a whole raft of Latin words :P.

Forums is technically the correct version when discussing the online version, which is why I use it when writing the wiki, but I personally using fora in my own posts ;).  Note that the fora is, however, correct in the context of Ancient Rome :D.

I'm reliably informed that Mallorca is still very pleasant in land.

I was based in Salamanca, which has very impressive architecture, and lots of White Storks.  It was a very hot summer though, which things pretty tough for me towards the end.  I'm not a fan of the high temperatures.
kat on August 12, 2013, 05:23:52 PM said
We were in Pollensa (I bet I've spelt that wrong).

Palma Nova is Hell on Earth and as for Magaluf...

The Red Lion... Lady Di's Pub...

"Tacky" doesn't even begin to describe it...
Irisado on August 12, 2013, 05:37:05 PM said
It's a variant of Catalan, so I suspect that it's spelt Pollença.

It doesn't sound like the sort of place that I want to go to.  I think that you're being generous calling it tacky.
kat on August 13, 2013, 08:23:43 AM said
Oh, indeed. Yeah, it was here that we stayed.

http://www.puertopollensa.com

Looks like a few hundred big hotels have gone up, since I was there.

I bet even Puerto de Soller's become a shithole concrete jungle, now.

Last holiday I had was here:

Arantor on August 23, 2013, 08:27:04 AM said
That's like going to Spain and complaining that everyone's foreign :P

The biggest surprise I had in America was apparently how softly spoken I am, ahaha

* Arantor finds the team blog interesting, actually, nice to be able to get to know the people we talk to a bit better than just what we see in regular posts :)
kat on August 23, 2013, 08:49:59 AM said
Funny thing, that. The men hated my accent. But, the women absolutely adored it! Especially when I accentuated the Cockney... ;)

I pulled. :)

A few times. :) :) :)

Actually saying that I could murder a fag caused some hilarity, though, as I'm sure you'll understand.
Kindred on August 23, 2013, 09:27:35 AM said
and the second part of that statement kinda explains why the men hated your accent... doesn't it? :P

Kindred on August 23, 2013, 09:37:04 AM said
there are too many expat brits over here these days, Pete...  the novelty of the accent has worn off in most places...   unless you're Daniel Craig or Harry
Arantor on August 23, 2013, 09:45:24 AM said
Bah, I say, bah! And I'm single these days, too!

Mind you, my accent is... absolutely English. Don't know if you saw any of the videos from the blog, but there's several of me actually talking and several people were surprised by my accent being 'that strong'.

* Arantor feels like he's threadjacking, eek!
Kindred on August 23, 2013, 09:52:39 AM said
yes... but what sort of "english" accent?
I can identify at least variants of the english accent and I know there are many more gradiations, not even including the dialects used in the other portions of the empire.

Actually, that's a question for Irisado as well...
Arantor on August 23, 2013, 09:55:47 AM said
Oh, there are a ton of variations. It's a 'southern' accent which makes it slightly softer than something like Estuary English (David Tennant's 'English' accent)

First video I could find that has me talking from our blog - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf15QvTzcmY - I'm the one on the left with the silly hat on ;)
Kindred on August 23, 2013, 10:01:53 AM said
rotfl...  dour, eh?

you are a quiet guy, when talking, aren't you?
I am just as loud in real life as I am on the forums. ;D
Irisado on August 23, 2013, 10:03:57 AM said
Oh goodness yes, there are lots of accents.  Even in southern England, and the Thames Valley, which are often falsely perceived as being 'Queen's English areas', you will find regional variations.

I have a little story about that.  I was on a train to London with a friend, standing, as tends to be the case if you catch a train to London in the early morning, and we were politely interrupted by the man opposite us who was from the United States, and he wanted to talk about accents.  He couldn't place mine, which was quite amusing all round, so it's now official that, according to the Americans, I don't have an accent :D.
Arantor on August 23, 2013, 10:07:14 AM said
I'm shy in front of a camera, what can I say? I'm a bit more talkative when in natural conversation, but yeah, I'm not exactly loud in person - except when it's a subject I know about and then my natural introvert/OCD/Asperger's/whatever makes me weird kicks in.

Eh, the south is not Queen's English area, you need to head up to the Home Counties for that. But the regional variations need only 40-50 miles to be very apparent.

Hmm, if you're saying your accent 'couldn't be placed'... I'm assuming it's the Herts part that's kicking in with what is probably the most neutral of the accents in England itself? (since Nottingham's accent isn't particularly neutral, like most of the Midlanders)
Irisado on August 23, 2013, 10:11:20 AM said
By south, I meant home counties and Thames Valley, I should have been more specific.  I always forget that there's anything south of the Thames, mainly because the times I've been that way have all been really bad experiences that I would rather forget about :D.

Yes, I don't have an East Midlands accent at all.  It's never rubbed off on me, even though I've studied in both Leicester and Nottingham.  My accent is pretty neutral, but not quite neutral enough for Hertfordshire, so that's why it's hard to place.
Arantor on August 23, 2013, 10:18:01 AM said
Us southerners are quite distinct about that, hahahaha - we're very firmly NOT the Home Counties or Thames Valley ;) But yeah, I can relate to bad stuff being south of the Thames, that's where I live :P

Yeah, an East Midlander accent is fairly distinctive, as is a West Midlander. I'm rather curious now about your accent!
Irisado on August 23, 2013, 10:37:49 AM said
Having said that, family holidays to Devon used to be fun, so not everywhere south of the Thames is bad :D.

There's no way that I can describe it to you, unfortunately, so I can't satiate your curiosity.

kat on August 23, 2013, 12:17:20 PM said
I guess the nearest that I can think of, for my accent, would have to be some wazzock on, dare I say this?, TOWIE.

Not having seen it, though, I can't be sure. I guess I sound quite like Mike Reid or THIS.
Kindred on August 23, 2013, 12:19:13 PM said

It's close, but brilla is present simple, not present continuous, in this context, so the translation is shines, while I would translate espejea as glistens, although shimmer is probably possible too.

    I had previously managed a phpBB forum, been a regular user on a Vbulletin forum, and then signed up to a number of fora which used SMF.  I found SMF to be my favourite type of forum software, did some hunting around to find out more information, and ended up here.
  • Who do you admire? Why?
    The Spanish teachers at school, and Spanish university lecturers who taught me on my undergraduate degree.  They were inspirational in shaping who I am today.  I also admire my parents for always being there.
