I would say overall I spend more time on ozzu than when I first started it, however, I am probably posting less. When ozzu first started I was posting 50% of the posts and starting many new threads everyday to keep people around. More of my time at ozzu now is fixing bugs, implementing new features, maintenance tasks with the server, keeping software updated, answering e-mails, stopping threats to the server and banning IP addresses, etc. There always seems to be things to do to improve ozzu.

I currently live with my beautiful girlfriend Kellie and our dog Mayzi.

According to Godaddy there are now 27 domains, so I must have let a few expire. Since the last GTKY I purchased bigfreelancer.com, but have yet to do anything with it.

Currently with my girlfriend Kellie, see #2.

Guess you don't like the number 5, since you skipped right onto 6.

613flavah wrote:
6. What do you have planned for the weekend?

My girlfriend and I are going out to eat tonight, going to a wedding tomorrow, and probably relax on Sunday. My grandparents were supposed to have their 60th anniversary on Sunday, but that might be delayed a week or two now.

My favorite cartoon was probably Duck Tales, but really didn't have a favorite character that stands out. Maybe Mickey Mouse, or Donald Duck.

613flavah wrote:
8. Who is your hero?

I have heard this question many times before, but honestly nobody really comes to mind for me. If there was anybody who had the most impact on my life it would definetely be my parents.

613flavah wrote:

"...that people may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do." - In other words somebody's actions communicate much more than words on who they truly are.

My thumbs are double jointed.

613flavah wrote:
11. What 3 websites must you visit every single day?

I actually have my routine which consists of more websites, but my top three that I MUST visit are ozzu.com, bigwebmaster.com, and finance.yahoo.com

Yes.

13. What are you listening to right now?

I am listening to nothing at this moment, but was listening to Stop and Stare by One Republic a few minutes ago.

2001 Acura TL. It had to have its transmission completely replaced a few months ago and it only has 50000 miles. Apparently Acura has had issues with the TL transmission, and if I would have known this then I would have never bought it. Here is a picture that is similiar to my car, without the lower body kit though. My car has tinted windows like this, and a slightly bigger spoiler.

There is no way I could have guessed. I figured I would be a airline pilot, probably for something like Horizon Air or Alaska Airlines. I remember around in high school going down to the counselor office and browsing a computer which had all sorts of ideas for careers, no where in there was anything about being a webmaster/administrator. I actually finished college in flight technology, the internet company was only a part time job at the time for me and started out as a hobby.

16. Guilty pleasures & bad habits (cigarettes, gum, candy, etc) Give us the dirt!

My girlfriend would probably laugh at this question, as I really do not have any terrible bad habits. She claims I have a habit of catching flies with my mouth if I am concentrating on something too hard. I might have a little OCD as I will sometimes double, triple, and quadruple check things (including this paragraph) -- but you kind of have to have that to be a programmer. I love food and will often eat too much, although I have a high metabolism so it doesn't really affect me. I am sure you guys were hoping for something better :)

613flavah wrote:

Yes.

My thumbs are double jointed, most of my talents are useful though :)

613flavah wrote:

Going to Montana in September, maybe Vegas in October. Next year should be going to St Lucia in the tropical islands of the Caribbean.

613flavah wrote:
20. Which way does your paper toilet hang?

Over the top, I really hate it when its the other way.

613flavah wrote:
21. Do you leave the toilet seat up or down?

Used to leave it up, not anymore! :evil:

613flavah wrote:
22. Name one vegetable that is orange.

Carrots, mmm.

613flavah wrote:
23. MAC or PC? And why?

PC because I am a technical person, and I like to build my own computers. I do like how MACs have evolved over time though and my opinion about MACs have improved in the last 10 years quite a bit.

613flavah wrote:
24. Would you rather always forget your name when someone would ask or, never remember anyone's name after being told?

Well I am already used to the 2nd, so lets go with that. I am TERRIBLE with names, and I have to work really hard when meeting new people to actually remember them. While I believe I am a fast learner and have many skills, my memory is horrible, especially when it comes to rote memorization.

613flavah wrote:
25. Do you have any pets?

A dog, she is a maltese puppy about 10 months old.

613flavah wrote:
26. What were you doing right before logging in to Ozzu.com?

Working on redoing the ozzu template section from scratch. I am currently working on a system to completely replace the old template section which will be much more user friendly. Before that I ate lunch.

613flavah wrote:
27. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

Probably an introvert, how else could I work from home. I am not sure an extrovert could do that every day.

613flavah wrote:
28. Pet peeves. We all have them. What are some of yours?

I am going to copy this from my old GTKY as it hasn't changed. My top five pet peeves in no particular order are: People who are close minded and will only accept their views of situations. Ignorant people. People who say they cannot do something even though they have made absolutely zero effort. People who cannot admit when they are wrong and continue to defend something as if they are right. And finally my last pet peeve are solicitors who come right to your door and or call on the phone during dinner or when you are doing something important.

613flavah wrote:
29. Did you file your taxes on time this year?

Yes, I filed them in January.

No, and I feel that I probably could never get hyptonized by someone else.

Seeing how much ozzu has grown, and how it has become a useful resource for many.

penguin wrote:

If I was sent to an island I would hope it was a resort with lots great things, maybe somewhere in the tropics. Then all I would need is money, my girlfriend, and a plane ticket back home when were done. I am very thankful that this island doesn't have to be deserted.

penguin wrote:

I am not referring to the phpbb3 template. I am referring to these:

http://www.ozzu.com/webtemplates/

penguin wrote:
38) what made you choose the ozzu dragon?

Unflux made it, and it was the best thing I have come across as far as the look. I would actually prefer something similiar that relates more to a webmaster forum, however.

penguin wrote:

No.

penguin wrote:

Yes, the answer was no. See #39.

If I have kids I would rather have the 1 billion dollars.

Yes, I still need to see the last five or six episodes though.

joebert wrote:

In 2007 probably 5 or 6 movies, 0 concerts, 1 show.

If everyone had to do what I chose, probably 20% to make sure the things actually get done. In affect this would probably lower taxes by 90% since government is inefficient and unaccountable.

joebert wrote:

How was that experience if so.

Only with my cell phone, it worked okay. A few times it called the wrong person :lol:

Yes that turned out to be a bad investment, I lost some oney on that. Since then I have invested in a company called PDC, I am up slightly with it. What I have learned since then is to stay away from penny stocks and invest in companies that have been around for a long time, and will be around for much longer. This way if you lose money in the short term all you have to do is sit patient and you will most likely get it back. With penny stocks or new companies it is much more risky as its very possible you can lose your entire investment.

55. How often do you drive faster than this ?

I drive faster than 55 probably everyday that I drive since the speed limit is 60 on one of the highways here close by.

joebert wrote:
56. Would you rather have the current speeding ticket system, or sensors in cars which prevented them from going faster than the limit ?

I wish we had the current system but more ways to control who makes the decision on what speeds should be where. I know of a few roads that should not be 25 mph. In one spot there is hardly anybody living in that area and I just don't think that speed limit is warranted. I have known other spots as well where everybody seems to speed because the speed limit is unreasonable. In those areas if I go the speed limit everybody is riding right up on your tail as if you are going way too slow and a huge line of cars will be behind you.
