I hope everyone realizes that his claims are all an April Fools joke! I will surely debunk all these lies he has told you. Please read on.
LIE NUMBER ONE)
On Apr 1, 2005 2:56 AM,
Do you really want to elect an official who does his politicing at 2:56 AM? If he has questions about what to do on the website (and he will!, he doesn't know everything!), do you know who he's going to call at 2:56 AM ? -- YOU!
FACT)
Vote for Michael Moore for webmaster. I promise, I will never call you at 2:56 with silly questions about how to write HTML.
LIE NUMBER TWO)
Adam Findley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A man who lies in his e-mail address cannot be trusted. DR Findley? Since when is he a doctor? The last e-mail I got from someone who lied like that was trying to get me to send my money to Nigeria (Which I did not do!). ADAM FINDLEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND MOVE TO NIGERIA!
FACT) I won't steal all your money. I can't promise the same for Adam.
LIE NUMBER THREE)
believe it's time to go back and consider what makes a good webmaster:
Adam does not want YOU to consider what makes a good webmaster. That is why he has provided a list of things for you to think about. What he meant was "think like I tell you".
FACT) ADAM WANTS TO CONTROLL YOUR MIND!
LIE NUMBER FOUR)
* Slanders his opponents well
FACT) That stinking rat has not slandered anyone well.
LIE NUMBER FIVE)
* Is considered a Unix Luminary
> * Has every They Might Be Giants song memorized > * Knows the proper usage of 'foo', 'bar' and 'baz'
ADAM THINK KNOWING TMBG, FOO, BAR, and BAZ MAKES HIM A UNIX LUMINARY. This is obviously a lie. One cannot be a luminary merely by knowing all of single band's songs, and knowing how to use some slang.
FACT) Only his Windows using friends think he's a Unix Luminary. They also think you should vote for me.
LIE NUMBER SIX)
Ok well, let's be honest those things don't matter at all. It's all
about the skillz, and I'm out to show you I've got them. I have been
developing since '97, in various languages such as ASP, PHP, (minimal)
Perl, HTML, and CSS.
FACT) Roumer has it that his only experience with webpages involves the WSYIWYG editor on geocities!
LIE NUMBER SEVEN)
I code completely by hand in a text editor,
FACT) Notepad.exe is not a text editor. FACT2) I use VIM, which is a _real_ editor.
LIE NUMBER EIGHT)
I could still code circles around you if I was forced to use something
as awful as FrontPage '97
FACT) We can see here how Adam is testing the water, to see how the use of his prefered "Development Platform" will be recieved. Adam wishes to make the Microsoft suite a vital part of the UUG. He claims that MS ACCESS will give us better control over the back end, and that all pages should be done in MS Word, then exported to HTML!
LIE NUMBER NINE)
Currently working on the schoolspider.com project...
FACT) We can see how much Adam loves BYU by how high it is ranked on his page. What's that? You can't find it? He left it off?....such ommissions are sure to trickle over to our very own UUG website if Adam is made webmaster! Can you imagine a uug site with no mention of BYU? Adam can.
Ideas for website:
* fav icon of course (already said I know)
* restructure to make more sense
* some decent themes (also already said)
* a place to put all your config files to show off your skillz
* updated polls!
* work hard with presenters to get their stuff posted! (like some of recipes)
* Lots of other features as I work through the code and make sense of it
Of course, these are all fine ideas, but you will see a starteling omission! ADAM DOESNT WANT TO KEEP THE WEBSITE UP TO DATE! Sure turning the UUG site into a recipie and file sharing haven might seem like a good idea now, but if you reconsider, I think you will realize that what it really needs is some updated content.
As webmaster, I'll be sure to get things up to date, and keep them that way. Presenters notes will have a special page, along with a place to comment on them, Polls will be not only updated once, but updated regularly.
And I'll always be there to help when you need it. Unless it's Adam calling at 2:56 AM. Then I'll just ignore him.
LIE NUMBER TEN)
Vote for AdamFACT) Vote for Michael Moore for webmaster, and your browsing
experience won't turn into a Notepad made, MS Access driven, BYU-less
recepie sharing center!

Michael Moore <-- Vote for me for webmaster!

Adam is really a nice guy, he probably won't actually do all the evil things he's
probably thinking of, but it's best to be safe. Vote for Michael Moore!
Now *that* was why I dislike bottom-posting! ;-)
