Where Is Pene Azul??

From: Bugsy

I was just wondering if he is ok. I emailed him some Photo's for the resources page around 15th November, and followed it up with a couple of emails and a personal message, but have heard nothing from him.

I also notice that he has not posted since November 4.

Does anyone have any inkling as to what's occuring???

Cheers

Bugsy

Bugsy, I've been wondering the same thing.

Max? Any word?

Don't know. I posted a similar question in the Help Form here, which no one who can find out the answer has replied to yet. I also sent him a couple of e-mails and some photos on 30 Nov & 1 Dec, with no response. (Even to the one asking "Are you still there?")

Maybe he found a life?

There's life outside of mudcat?

He's alive, spoke to him just before the New Year. I think he's just been busy, the holidays and all.

Thanks for that Max. Glad to hear that nothing is amiss.

I'm just refreshing this to let Jeff know that we really miss him when he's not around.

And he needs to know that he is really! behind on the Resource/Photo pages...........

No kidding....he's lagging behind on his job....

Ease up, folks. While I agree that the Resources is behind, (I have stuff to be included too.) surely you know that Pene has lots of other tasks besides that one.

How would you like to come back from a vacation and be pounced on?

Geez!

That and it's not his job....all volunteer...I hope it is just vacation or work that is keeping him away!*BG*

Tell me, just how do you do PayCuts on a volunteer job? Just ask me about the new PD "restructuring" idea.......Mr. gets to be a Lt. on salary with no overtime, but he will be responsible for 12 hrs of the day instead of 8----Yea, right.

Glad to hear everything's okay--by the way, Max, where's my tee shirt?

Maybe there should be a back up volunteer for this sort of thing....for when he goes off to vacation or just gets really busy with "real life", he won't get overwhelmed by everything....

For a possible 'backup' or alterante resource see this thread.

I don't see any reason why we couldn't have both. It is customary on the Mudcat resource site, the one that Pene administers, to have pics of Mudcat memebers only. (and a limited number at that) On the Photoloft site that Kat and Catspaw and I are suggesting you can post anything. We have access to 50mb in any album and could start more than one if need be.

Pene, if you are reading this and would like assistance, please contact one of us by way of PM. I know I would be happy to help where I could and I am sure there are others who also would be glad to help.

Allen C it would depend on who pounced on me, and why..lol

...my current theory is that Pene has morphed into Margaret V...*wink*

This just shows that people with unpaid, volunteer jobs should never be allowed to take vacation!

Just kidding! Put that tomato down!

I accept that Pene has a life outside mudcat but think the idea of a backup body to help administer the resources is essential otherwise poor old Pene will get so snowed under he'll never get it all done and it is rather a pity when photos do not appear soon after an event. Having said that I don't know one end of a jpeg from another so really can't offer any asssistance at all,

Hey alex, what's a PAID volunteer job (BG)?

It's so simple it should be obvious, Pene Azul (transl. "Blue Penis) does NOT exist. No one has ever met him. No one has ever seen a picture of him. Max claims to have spoken to him. I submit that Pene is a Mudcat alter ego of an existing member, who has grown tired of the responsbilities entrusted to him/her or no longer has the time to devote her.

Prove me wrong, then.

Sorry, C George, but I have met Pene Azul when I went to Mudcat Central in October. I wish someone would end the friggin' melodrama and just tell us what is up.

Re the backup, I am not sure what he is doing but the last time I spoke to Jeff (sometime before Christmas), he was working with Cold Fusion and some ideas for the Resources page.

This leads me to think of an interesting project that I would imagine that only he or Max could take on (and is perhaps being considered). The system could be made user maintainable.
