Vote "DeV". You know it mocks sense!

RuggieBear · 28-10-2004 2:06pm

voted too.....

DeVore · 28-10-2004 2:10pm

I only knew about Alan O'Rourke (Figment) who is up for Design Excellence.

I dunno about the rules of voting, I was told people from Boards could vote though that extra line seems an addition...

Third_Echelon · 28-10-2004 2:16pm

Got my vote anyway... well deserved in my opinion...

WhiteWashMan · 28-10-2004 2:19pm

its all come a long way since the subvertive socialist ideas that we used to harbour.
i remember when there were things like morals, standards, a keen ideology to not let the bástards grind us down, and an avid, almost rabid obsession to use a proxy account for playing quake.

now, its about the fame, the fortune, the money, the loose women (who should really be captured) and a benevolance that far outstrips anything that Mao-tse Tung gave to the chinese people.

having said that, andrex pusspies did make me change my mind. im such a cheap corperate whore at heart

AFAIK, Tom Doyle (2bscene) in the "Web Developer Excellence" category is tomED.

What he said

I wonder what's on http://www.boards.ie:27910
(fiver says I got the wrong port number and someone smarter than I, probably Alastair, :rolleyes: will correct me)

DeVore · 28-10-2004 2:31pm

LOL @ WWM

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

Boards has really changed over the years, its always amazed me in that regard. I think thats partly why, like everything else in my life, once it was reasonably successful I didnt just abandon it in the search for more shiny objects. I think its the curiousity of what its going to do next that keeps me interested!

DeV.

DeVore · 28-10-2004 2:33pm

Kharn, its 27901 but can you imagine the packetloss ?! I dont think we ever ran Quake servers on Boards. MP and Rev and the boys were much better at it then we were.

First your journal, then feedback, now an announcentment?

Careful you don't get addicted Dev, like that preist, Fr.Chillywilly....

And isn't John McCormack of Whoisireland (under the Tech Journalist section) our very own jmcc?

I could be drastically wrong.

Please note you do not need to be a member of the IIA to nominate or vote for these awards.

Their homepage and T&Cs seem to disagree. Hmmmm.

GoneShootin · 28-10-2004 3:00pm

Done - I also signed up my girlfriend to the cause.

I'll be waiting for the positive karma in the post!

Now that you remind me, I reasonably sure he is. That makes a minimum of four.

DeVore · 28-10-2004 3:11pm

Yup... jaysis... I keep forgetting that all these people I know through work are also on Boards...

DeV.

Mixie · 28-10-2004 3:18pm

Voted. G'luck

Rabies · 28-10-2004 3:18pm

DeV.

it gets better once you accept the change. but the people never change.
you and i are still the same.

except i can buy decent graphics cards now.
dont forget to mention the mods who do it for fun, and possibly naked, in your acceptance speech

DeVore · 28-10-2004 5:16pm

I mentioned the mods in my Biog. Its far from certain that I'll win by any stretch of the imagination. 3 out of 4 of the competition can certainly muster considerable support and also are worthy nominees.

Oh an nana, nice to see you can try to troll even this. Unfortunately for you, the award is solely the recognition of the industry. AFAIAA there is nothing more then a chunk of glass that goes with it.

DeV.

DeVore · 28-10-2004 5:17pm

WWMan, my hair is loud and proud as it always has been.
I still cannot afford a decent graphics card. The good people never change, they just get more cutting with age... speaking of which, wheres the missus these days?

Yep PiE.

Though the inclusion of me as a Technology Journalist is a mistake. (I already won one TJ of The Year award and that's enough. ) And what's worse is that the award is sponsored by a PR company. It is almost as if it is the press release recycler of the year award.

I've asked IIA to remove my name from the list. Feck. The embarrassment of being thought of as a technology journalist. Did these people read anything I wrote?

Vote for the boards.ie people!

Regards...jmcc
