Shane Pitman Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) Neowin MVC warwagon has expressed an interest in launching a new podcast series entitled "Meet the Staff". This series will build on an old podcast series called "Featuring Who" wherein a different staff member will be selected to be interviewed by warwagon weekly. Differing from the "Featuring Who" podcasts, this podcast will be purely a question and answer type format and will not be a discussion of current news topics, like our regularly published podcast by Christopher Vendemio (bangbang023) and Rob Wright (Rob). That said, we would like to give our Neowin family the opportunity to participate by submitting questions that you would like to have answered. Please keep your questions tasteful and respectful, but aside from that, feel free to ask anything, keeping in mind that the selections are at the discretion of the interviewer, the interviewee, and Neowin administration. The questions so far Where were you born? How old and when did you get your first computer? What kind of computer was it ( specs and all)? Are you working, in school what? What are you studying at school? What is your current job(s)? Do you have any Computer Qualifications. How and when did you find Neowin? How did you become part of the staff? Is there a thread that stands out in your head since you've been a member? What is the hardest part of your job at Neowin? What kind of computer are you running now? (specs, brand, make whatever)? What advice do you have for members of this forum so that they say out of trouble. How much time do you put in on Neowin daily /weekly. What do you like about Neowin. What do you not like about Neowin. What's your Religion? (if you want to answer) Which piece of technology in recent years has really excited you. Star wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica or Firefly. Do you have any Pets Tell me a joke. Moderators When you first became a moderator did you ask a lot of questions before you preformed certain tasks (example locked threads) On Average how many warnings do you give a day? Do you perform your tasks as a mod while you are at work? What do you see as moderator as far as buttons and things to click on that the average Neowin user never gets see (This question will only be asked once) News On average how many times per day to you post news on Neowin. Have you ever wanted to write for a major publication Administration (Possible Group Interview) What can we expect for the future of Neowin. How many servers is Neowin running off? What OS and Software was running on the server? Who coded the very first version of Neowin? Who were the first Moderators of Neowin Neowin currently has about 13 Categories and 48 sub categories. How many did you have when it first launched? Does Neowin Generate any Money? Developers What is your process of coming up with different website layouts Are you more of a coder, designer or both? When did you first start coding How did you learn to code? Did teach yourself or did you take a class? Which Languages do you program in Which languages would you like to learn how to program in. Development wise, what would you like to see added to Neowin. What is your preferred development platform. What advice would you give someone who would like to get into coding, but still hasn't mastered hello world.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted February 25, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted February 25, 2009 Awesome (Y) This could even expand into "Meet the MVC". And possibly eventually "Meet the member" for anyone who is a long time and well known board user/ex-staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything, huh? - An unknown protein “Y” is found to have two chains, 99 amino acids in one chain and 78 in the other, and is connected by disulfide bond. All essential amino acids are present in both chains, however, lacking non-essential amino acids. What can you say about the protein? - Do you secretly browse through member's warn logs? - Answer is 42 but what is the question? - What was the last book you read? - Do you accept FSM, as your lord and savior?
