Some changes here at PerthNorg

As of July, PerthNorg will have its own developer Myles Eftos, otherwise known as Mad Pilot, who will be dedicating himself to making some changes and improvements to our already awesome Cit J site - including some suggested by you our community of Cit Js.
The photo is of him trying to get a server on the other side of the country running , using a borrowed laptop and mobile phone, while everybody else was partying around him. It was convincing evidence for me, that I had found the right developer.
Freckle Creative, who have done a great job at getting PerthNorg up, will still be overseeing some ongoing aspects to the site.
Having our own developer will mean we can move at the pace we need to and we’ll be able to respond and adapt quickly as things hot up in the online media world. I already have a long list of things for Myles to get started on and as always I’d love to get feedback from you as to what sort of features you would like added.
Here’s a bit about Myles in his own words:
Myles is a UWA Computer Science graduate. He has been playing with (read: breaking) computers from a young age. Luckily, he wasn’t too bad at fixing them either. He has a passion for programming and a love of design, so the web was an obvious choice for him — although sometimes he wishes he took up something simpler, like brain surgery.
He is currently the events coordinator for AWIA. He would like some sleep soon. Read his Blog.
And I should also add that his typing appears to be as bad as mine, so apologies in advance from both of us.
Cheers to Nick Cowie, for letting me use his photo.

And another round of congratulations! Like the last line of your bio Myles - sleep, ha ha.

Heh - Myles looks like he is about to strangle someone through the computer, and that’s Megyn Carpenter in the background with the evil eye laser beams. That’s the Perth web industry - glamour all the way!
Congratulations to you both - I’m sure it will be great for the Norg and great for Myles.

Could you have picked a worse photo?!
Great to be on board, Bronwen - I’m looking forward to working with you and all the other CitJs!

That’s the look of “what has this MAC done now!”
Congrats Bronwen and Myles.
