Tech: PENE AZUL ROCKS!!!

Subject: Tech: PENE AZUL ROCKS!!!
From: Alaska Mike

Recently my Mudcat Cookie crumbled. I was unable to log into Mudcat as Alaska Mike using my laptop at home. I couldn't check my PM's, couldn't log onto the Mudchat room, couldn't post as myself to the threads.

I tried everything. Removed all cookies and tried loading them again, reset my security codes to default, shut down firewalls, disabled virus protection, I tried everything to no avail.

So I asked for help from Joe Offer. Joe was unable to come up with anything else to try so he passed me on to Pene Azul. 2 e-mails later I was Alaska Mike again. YAAAAYYYYY

Too many times we take the workings of Mudcat for granted. Occasionally we grumble when things don't work exactly right the first time. So I want to take this opportunity to thank all the Mudcat gurus who keep this wonderful site alive and functioning. Thanks Joe and Max and my special thanks to Jeff (aka PENE AZUL).

Mike

Yes he does indeed (rock). And he's a hell of a nice guy, too.

I'm in exile in Florida, confined to using my dad's primitive WEBTV (why do Old Guys buy this crap?). Jeff has saved me from insanity half a dozen times this week. Besides, he's a good friend, and I enjoy our late-night swapping of ideas. He's a good cook, too. He's given me some great cooking advice. He may have helped Mike with cookies, but he's better with meat and potatoes.
Thanks, Jeff.

Whooo.... for a momment I thought that the secret 2001 video of you drumming along to Max's blues had been released....It's the only year I've decided to keep for participants only...But you do Rock as a techie, as a musician and as an all round nice guy...

he certainly does! and like an iceberg (he is a cool guy!) most of what he does is hidden "below the surface" -which means casual visitors and even a lot of regulars just aren't aware of all he does for the 'cat.

My good friend and mentor. Yep, he saves me from my "tiltin' with windmills" obsession on a regular basis. I am pretty good at that mind you, but every so often ole Jeff hops in and nails me with that damn intelligence and logic. Once, when ready to do battle with the cyber bullies, and knowing Jeff would PM, hence I had armed myself with tons of good data, and sterling Irish charm, ...... he asks the worst question ..... "Why?". Gawdammmmit ..... I wasn't ready for that one. ... LOL ...

He is a brill programmer, a great friend, and a wise man. Max gave birth to this wonder, but I will bet you that he would admit, in a heartbeat, that much of what the Mudcat is is due to Jeff.

Thanks, buddy. I am proud to be your friend.

Perhaps most of us tend to take for granted all the graft that Max and Joe and Jeff and all the other background people do just to keep this wonderful thing called Mudcat going.

errm - perhaps "craft" would be a better word then "graft"?

This is fantastic to see one of the wizards behind the curtain of Mudcat exposed for what he is -- a bloody genius! (you too, of course, Joe!).

Jeff is a special guy that rarely gets the credit or cudos that he deserves. A true grand master of the ones and zeros. I'm so glad that he's on our side ;-)

Besides all that, he's a great friend who's helped me too many times to count in areas that had nothing whatsoever to do with the infernal machine.

Luv ya Big Guy, Áine

all the above...plus, he is a connesure coneisiur coinesure good judge of beer!

But the virtues that are rare are 'restraint' and 'judgement'...'ol Jeff shows unusual amounts of both...

Joe, Max and Jeff,

You guys do indeed rock. You have brought together the finest collection of maniacs in the world on what I see as the ultimate site on the 'net. The Mudcat is a treasure, truly. It's lots like sex: even when it's bad it's good. And, it's never bad.

Love you guys, and thanks for making this possible.

Bruce Murdoch

PS And let me take this opportunity to extend my heart-felt best wishes to the single ladies who like men who like cats.
