Many of you will have noticed forum member MimeticMouton giving some amazing and detailed help and support around these parts over the past year or so, both on the Windows and Mac forums. (When we first saw her posting some of us thought it was Ioa posting under another name, which is high praise indeed. )
It is with great pleasure then that I can announce that MM - real name Jennifer Hughes - will be coming on board as a part-time team member for the next few months, to help out with support during the Windows release and hopefully, if the Windows version takes off, beyond. Sheâll be helping out with Mac support as well - weâll all be mucking in where weâre needed as usual - but she will especially be helping Lee and Windows users out as we move towards the Windows release.
I know some eagle-eyed users have already noticed Jennifer get moderator status so this probably comes as no surprise, but today she starts freelancing for us officially.
So, many thanks for all the amazing support youâve given so far Jennifer, and welcome aboard!
Congratulations MM (Jennifer)! I will take full responsibility for your new status, since a couple of months ago Iâm pretty sure I said something to the effect of âIf MimeticMouton is not working for you s/he should be!â in one of these forums.
So: Yay! You have definitely earned the accolades (and the responsibility).
(Heh, did you have the experience in school where there were at least 2-3 Jennifers in your class, so everyone went by some variant of their name? And then nobody responds to Jennifer?)
Oh, Iâm sure Ioa is still âprettyâ to some people.
Happy news, Jennifer! Iâve noted your thoroughly illuminating and prompt postings for pretty much as long as Iâve been here. Being paid for your efforts is a well deserved promotion.
Thanks everyone for the welcome (and of course Keith for bringing me aboard ship)! As you all know, I love procrastinating on writing by hanging out over here, so this is pretty much the dream job. (Thanks, bargonzo, for snagging it for me. ;))
Garpu - Funny, I was just explaining to Keith about the need for fictitious names when youâre just âone of the JennifersââŠ
Hugh - If I recall correctly, I think half the name came out of reading Northrop Fryeâs The Educated Imagination and having recently relived my thesis project in the form of Script Frenzy; the other half is because I like sheep for a lot of reasons (âthey tip over!â) and because it rolled trippingly off the tongue with âmimeticâ and possibly because I was wearing a sweater that one night in a London bus station after forty-eight hours without sleep got me dubbed âa big fuzzy moutonâ.
Wock - I always make sure to match the color of the couch, yep.
