Does it have to be Derek, or do I count?

This is turning into an Admin lurkers come out and post thread. :Q

We have to come out every now and then and prove that we do exist.

Yeah, you're even more rare than derek wilson.

You guys might even inspire some moral if you came more often.

must be nice working in an industry where things are always getting faster & cheaper.

can you imagine if Moore's Law applied to porn stars ?

Morale? Plus, that sounds dirty.

Actually a little boost in both wouldn't hurt.

how awesome would it be if that other guy[the interviewer] is a member of ATOT and just tripped him up with "IDF had a lot of new interesting thing to see, so let me ask you... when will we switch to vB?" /camera zooms in on Anand

Sooner than you think...

Thanks care,
Anand

Fixed.

haha. I don't think I've ever seen a post from the boss before, let alone in OT.

Nice job in the video, anand.

Is Anand done Medschool now? Haven't heard from him for quite a while, but I still enjoy reading his latest tech articles. I always check the author at before reading the whole story

I knew that sounded weird...on both accounts.

he's going to med school?

 

[CRXican]

zomg he posted!

 

[AdamK47]

I haven't seen pictures or a video of him in years. He's really aged. Hard to believe this is the same then teenager who started this site.

:laugh:

several of us met him in raleigh but i cant remember where he said hes from. i wanna say somewhere in new england, maybe.

super nice guy, very smart and into what he does.

Yep. Very nice guy.

 

[Spike]

Wow... thats the first time I have actually seen what he looks and sounds like... way different from what I assumed. I'm going to have to lurk in ATOT more often, there are all sorts of cool things here!

 

[cirrrocco]

I didnt understand a thing, but the interview was pretty cool.

why didn't you guys tell me I was in a cult? :|

OH, btw: call-out thread!

 

[Anand Lal Shimpi]

haha you guys are awesome.

We're currently doing a final test import of FT over to vB. The mods/admins will get first access when it's done. The plan was to launch vB with the new AT site redesign in Q4 but we moved things around to prioritize the vB transition.

I'm 27 now, started at 14. Working 60 - 80 hour weeks for most of the past years definitely make me feel old now I still feel young at heart. This past September took a lot out of me, was pushing 14 - 18 hour days for 7 days straight for all but 3 days of the month (minus airport time).

I was married for a short period of time, not everything makes sense to do at a very young age - learned that the hard way, but it was a good lesson. Girlfriend though, super talented photographer. Life is good, parents are well and healthy. I'm happy.

Oh and the hair - I think my dad is partly to blame for that, although he lost his a bit later than me I don't mind though, I've never relied on looks (and definitely not hair) to impress

I do want to do video in the future. If I can make it work, it'll be a 2010 thing.

Take care,
Anand

p.s. depending on your definition, only half durka durk, but born in MA

Not true Anand, the balding gene comes from the mother.

actually... the gene comes from your mother's father.... or your maternal grandfather. if he is bald, you are very likely to be.

 

[Paddington]

Anand's return brings back memories of the good ol' days of RIVA TNT vs. Voodoo 2 flame threads.

 

[mrCide]

isn't the baldness thing just a myth? pretty sure any gene in your family can be picked up regardless if its your parents or higher up the tree.
