Your community manager is finally here (aka me)

Rob

I did actually laugh out loud at “Curd-rod” 😆😂 Also, @Dominic, where ya been?! We’ve missed you!

Dominic

Ahww that’s sweet. 🥺 Well, life happened: university has started on the first of September, so I had to deal with that in the last couple of weeks. I always thought “yea, today is the day when I will catch up with what happened in the Community”, but I never really got around it, until yesterday. I missed quite a few things, but I am back now, eager to talk and discuss with you guys again! 😉

Now tell me about yourself, how are things at your end? I hope everything is fine!

Rob

Dominic

Ah understandable, I hope the start of uni is going well - what are you studying?

I’m glad you found the time to log back on and catch up - it feels like the Community is alive with activity again since Rudi joined!

All is good with me, thank you, cracking on with work and hoping to book a holiday in November - I’m thinking Lithuania! I’ve also started playing an unhealthy amount of Hitman on PS5 😆

Dominic

Yes Uni is great - the atmosphere and the people are all nice, and so far it is not difficult. It’s a bachelor degree on Computer Science, so it is very close to my heart! 😁

It feels like the Community is alive with activity again since Rudi joined!

I am so happy about that. There were times when nobody posted anything, not even a reply for like 4 days in a row, and I could feel it too - the excitement dropped a bit. But when I saw Rudi and that finally something new is happening surrounding the management, I felt so hyped again. Curious about what he has up in his sleeves regarding the future of the Community.

All is good with me, thank you. […]

Fingers crossed for that holiday to happen soon! I’ve never been to Lithuania personally, but my parents have and they loved the country.

Ooh I love Hitman! Great game franchise, although I only played with part 1 and 2. I might give 3 a try in the future. Nonetheless, it is important to relax a bit besides work, so don’t worry about it!

I’ll take curd-rod as a compliment if the treat is a sweet one 😆

I’m actually not a fan of reptiles - I think it’s a phobia 😱

I love tech and martial arts too. My dad is a black belt in Karate and I’ve done Tae Kwon Do for 7 years when I was a kid. My eldest daughter has recently graded, getting her orange white-stripe belt a couple of weeks ago, and she’s only 7. I’m so proud 🧑‍🎓

I’m a big fan of privacy as well, so I use Brave - have you heard of it? A really fast browser too. I recommend.

I also share the feeling of a small company becoming a giant, and for the same reason, I want to be part of it. Having fun with all of you here is actually an amazing bonus 💪

Dominic

Rudi

Of course it’s a sweet one! 😉

I love looking up phobia names, they all sound funny to me, and there is one to everything. Literally. Fear of citric fruit? Esperidoeidiphobia. Fear of air? Anemophobia. Yours seem to be called herpetophobia. I have a fear of spiders, which is pretty common I guess - arachnophobia.

Congratulations to your girl and your father too! I am brown belted myself, black is quite the challenge and I don’t have much time nowadays to train for it.

Oh yes, Brave is great, I even used it back in its early days, though I use Firefox now. I heard Brave had just released their own search engine too - I want to give it a try in the future. Do you use it or do you have any experience with it? 🦁

Good to hear that you enjoy being here! 😍

Rudi

The phobia names are very interesting, thanks for sharing! Dominic 😆

Thank you for the congrats as well, and yes, a black belt is more difficult than graduating from a top university 🤯

Oh, I’ve been using the same search engine as you, DuckDuckGo. I haven’t started using the Brave new one because it’s beta and I need to search for work. But I’m looking to extensively try it soon, in my spare time. It should be quite refreshing if you get what I mean.
