After a long break we go on with our PadMember interviews and now it"s Smiley"s turn. He is no longer a real Padmember, but anyway, he did a lot for the World of Padman. Read on: Reporter: Tell us something about yourself. Smiley: Err, I should tell something about myself. Well I"m the Smiley (some actually call me Dennis), I"m 32 years old and live in the middle of the beautiful county of Hesse (a state in Germany). I work as an IT-administrator and alternatively as a handyman in the shipping trade. So I work with funny things like GPS-navigation (like "tomtom-work", "google-maps", "fleetec" etc.), scheduler-software, forklift driving etc. Ohh and I"m building a new website for my company ? may I post a link here? Oh no, it would be covert advertising  R: How did you get your nickname? S: My nickname is easy to explain: Just have a look on the team-page. A friend called me Smiley ages ago (around 1992) and since then I am known and called by this nick. To describe it without pictures: I"m (nearly) always in a good mood which seems to be inborn as an Aquarius.  R: How did you come to WoP and since when were you a part of the team? S: Actually I know and play WoP since the first PadMaps. We played a lot on LAN back then (due to a lack of an internet connection). I"ve been active since about 2006 here in the forum, though I was a real Padmember since I presented the first version of my WoP-Server-Browser and offered to build a whole new website. Or was it since I recommended the team to build an installer for the Quake 3 padmod to get more people playing? (Installing WoP for Quake 3 was really difficult) R: What"s your job in the team? S: Because no one of the team has the time, mood or know-how to deal with web-programming and administration this task seems to be mine. Unfortunately I"m not very talented with mapping and modding otherwise I could have brought something like this in the World of Padman. R: What are you mostly proud of (at WoP). S: You are right looking at it. Yes, I mean this website ? has got style, eh? Ok, sadly I have not finished it (I left the team because of some difference in opinions before it was completed) - but nevertheless I am totally proud of it because so many people visited the page - have a look at the counter. By the way, I"ve got something new and as far as the team is interested, there soon will be an update. Further things like the Windows-Installer or some ingame ideas like running faster with the Punchy also came from me. R: What can we await from you in the future (at WoP)? S: As I already mentioned, maybe a new website and maybe even a new Windows-Installer; we"ll see what time brings. |
