Who's who at Moviestorm (October 2009), Who to blame and who to bribe

[Moviestorm]

It's time for another update to the list of Who's Who at Moviestorm. Since the last post, we've said goodbye to a few friends, but we've also welcomed several new staff members on board.

Here's the current lowdown:

• Jeff Zie: CEO. He runs the whole damn place, and in his spare time he's redesigning the look and feel of Moviestorm. Really great shoes.
• Matt Kelland: Founder. Does stuff and manages to look busy, even though nobody's quite sure what he actually does. Always has an opinion on everything. Recently ran away to America.
• Dave Lloyd: Founder and CTO. Responsible for building Moviestorm and whipping the engineers into shape. Always has an opinion on everything, and occasionally agrees with Matt.
• Andrew Kennedy: COO. Coordinates the thousand tasks that go into making Moviestorm actually happen, and makes sure everyone's actually doing what they're supposed to do. Has a spreadsheet for everything.
• Johnnie Ingram: Product Manager. Coordinates each new release, and makes sure that Moviestorm does what it's supposed to. Loves spreadsheets, but only when they have accompanying histograms. Always has at least two opinions on everything, and opts for the one closest to an Open Source solution.
• Chris Ollis: Senior Artist. Employee #1, animator, modeller, movie-maker, and minor web celebrity. If you see it on screen in Moviestorm, chances are Chris had something to do with it. Always has an opinion on matters of taste.
• Paul Kelley: Artist. Lover of baked potatoes. Working on new content.
• Ben Sanders: QA Technical Lead. It's hard to describe Ben's job. He takes all the disparate bits of Moviestorm and sticks them together so they work, and hovers threateningly when they don't. Has a beard.
• Dave Holloway: QA Coordinator. Dave replaces the previous two Daves, which must mean he's twice as good. He tells us what we broke.
• Amos Willbond: QA. Amos has spreadsheet skills like Andrew and Johnnie, but has sworn to only ever use his powers for Good.
• Julian Gold: Senior Software Engineer. Drummer. (What do you call a guy who hangs round with musicians? A drummer. Boom boom!)
• Mark Watt: Senior Software Engineer. Mostly writes the animation system. Also serves as unofficial Morale Officer.
• Conor O'Callaghan: Software Engineer. Builds the modder's workshop, and nearly everything in Moviestorm that requires a button.
• Paul Sumpner: Software Engineer. Working on something hush-hush
• Lisa de Araujo: Web. See this Web site right here? Lisa made it. Don't call her a Webmistress if you value your skin.
• James Barlow: Finance guy. He makes sure we get paid. We like him.
• Alex Gowland: Work placement. Does the boring and unpleasant jobs that nobody else wants to do. Currently working in the QA department.
