I try to do that whenever I'm in Rotterdam.

I have a number of other friends in the area, so it isn't always possible.
Title: Re: Ship Sim PRO Launch
Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on January 30, 2009, 08:36:53
Wow, looks like you  had a cracking time!

Its good to be able to put names to faces for once :D

I would have liked to have been there hehe.

Jack :)
Title: Re: Ship Sim PRO Launch
Post by: TerryRussell on January 30, 2009, 08:42:20
Yes, it was great!

By the way, there was another moderator just visible. I've updated that post (a few posts above this one)

Thanks for sharing, we were already in the diving hall at BOOT as I found out I forgot to take some pics of the hardware.  ;D
Suppose we were to busy talking about this soft- and hardware and currents module as going to be used for the antipollution software for Rotterdam Harbour Control.

So your in the blue.

Terry is the dude with marmite coming off his beard in the middle.

Frank is the one circled.

And Pjort is the one with the fancy hair that must take 4 hours to get it that way playing games...

Thanks marc. :)

I meant Frank, when I typed Mark (fixed it now).

But I didn't say which of them are moderators.

So, how many moderators in the picture?

Of course, I am no longer a Moderator...  :'(

WOW, your an administrator now! Good for you Terry :)

Would have loved to have been there at that event, is it/ was it a public opening or just v-step officials?

Jack :)
Title: Re: Ship Sim PRO Launch
Post by: TerryRussell on January 30, 2009, 17:34:41
It was a "by invitation" event. There were exactly the right number of people in the room. Vstep certainly did their homework for it!
Title: Re: Ship Sim PRO Launch
Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on January 30, 2009, 17:36:39
Ahhh right, I see, good stuff :)

Again congrats on your new position! A little weird seeing "Administrator" under your name, seen it as moderator for such a long time :D

Jack.
Title: Re: Ship Sim PRO Launch
Post by: TerryRussell on January 30, 2009, 17:38:20
I've not even been a Moderator for that long. Not even a year. Just seems like a long time, eh?
Title: Re: Ship Sim PRO Launch
Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on January 30, 2009, 17:39:18
Yes! I remember when you became a moderator, we should make a time line of your achievements Terry :D

Seems a long time alright ;D

Jack :D
Title: Re: Ship Sim PRO Launch
Post by: TerryRussell on January 30, 2009, 17:41:52
It isn't like I'm now a member of the House of Lords or anything. An Administrator just has a few more things to do than a Moderator.

So no need to fall on your knees and worship me.

But on the other hand... Hmmm...

An Administrator has power over the whole forum, and can change anything, really, Administrators look after the technical side of things.

So now, Terry has two jobs, moderating the forum and looking after the technical aspect :police: :D

Jack
p.s. Terry, we already worship you, remember that topic a long time ago about how you aperently controlled me and many other forum members? :D

Ahoy Terry,
First of all: Congratulations from me for Your promotion to administrator. As so many other folks said prior to me: It was far overdue. Great that You shared the pic's from the SS08 PRO presentation with us.
@ RMS G B : Tnx for the compliment (it was, I think).
T.W.I.C.:
My wife is sitting on my side, and not next to Terry  ;D
Title: Re: Ship Sim PRO Launch
Post by: TerryRussell on February 01, 2009, 00:56:50
Please, don't think of the Administrator as in some way superior to the Moderators. That is not the case. The Moderators are a wonderful set of people who put in an enormous amount of hard work for this Forum and related activities. They possess an incredible amount of specialist knowledge and have accummulated hundreds of years of sea-going experience between them. For that, they deserve your ultimate respect.

In a similar way, the unseen and largely unknown Custom Mision Managers put a phenomenal amount of work into reviewing missions for people to download. They put up with a considerable amount of spiteful timewasting and mistaken uploads. Yet they cheerfully review and approve the good ones. For that, they also deserve your ultimate respect. Again, they possess an incredible amount of specialist knowledge and have accummulated hundreds of years of sea-going experience between them. (In some cases, they may have accummulated almost a hundred years single-handedly - they know who I mean!  ;D ).

My "new" role here is simply a number of additional tasks that I, or any other Administrator, will conduct. The real work is done by those I've mentioned above, of course. And I still wear that Moderator hat along with my colleagues.  ;D The Administrator role is quite minor in comparison to my "normal" work.

If it was in real life, I'd now be holding a brush and sweeping the dust from the corners... I didn't get a special ray-gun to zap things with.  :'(

;D  :laugh:  :police:  ;D  :D

Or Aad's wonderful tie.
Ahoy Ship(sim)mates,
If you're wondering what Terry ment with this remark, her's a picture of that tie.
It was made for the Veterans of the Dutch Marine Corps.
The motto says: "QUA PATET ORBIS" That will say, free translated: "As far as the World reaches"

I'd read it as "to the end of the earth", which is pretty much the same thing, I think.

See here for more details of the Dutch Marine Corps:
