A Changing Of The Guard
Posted by Kevin Hazard, January 15th, 2007
Attention, please. The guard is changing.
Before:
After:
Now imagine that those pictures did not come from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, but were actually graphical representations of what’s going on at Site5. Redefining definitions, refocusing foci, repurposing purposes, and reevaluating evaluations. As Ron Burgundy would tell you, “It’s boring, but it’s part of [our] life. [We're] just gonna grab this shirt if ya don’t mind. Watch out for the guns, they’ll getcha.”
Over the course of the next month or two, Todd Mitchell will be transferring a bulk of the day-to-day management of the technical support side of Site5’s operations to Adam Greenfield. I could recap the explanation of the transition Todd sent to the rest of the Site5 team, but I’m too lazy to summarize, so I’ll give you the words straight from the horse’s mouth (which, because Todd is Canadian, would be a Royal Canadian Mounted Police horse):
“And perhaps the most significant change is in mine and Adam’s role at Site5. Adam is to be the point man for all technical issues–lucky guy. 
So, continue to post to the lists and get things done as you normally do. But if you have something that needs higher up technical attention, please ping Adam.
This doesn’t mean I’m going away–you guys aren’t that lucky. I’ll be spending a greater amount of time focusing on customer service, affiliates and more in-depth business related issues. In addition to this, I will still be involved with the technical side; simply in a reduced capacity. So if you aren’t able to reach Adam, you can certainly get in touch with me anytime.”
This change should not have any direct effect on the stellar support you receive from Site5’s team of superhuman system administrators, but we wanted to keep you, the Site5 enthusiast, apprised to what is going on behind the scenes. If you have any questions or good jokes about Canadians, please let us know.

Ahem.. There’s more than one of us Canadians on board eh?!? Ya hoser! Careful with ‘em jokes eh!
I for one welcome our new technical leader and I am certainly happy that I will still be permitted to summons that other guy ( I’ve forgotten his name already but it’s in the post so no point in waisting ink anyways) at unthinkable hours of the morning.

Serious answer: We rock. Love our willingness to change and evolve.
Silly postscript:
1. Please use a better picture of me next time.
2. Now I must knit that dress. I must. Perhaps a tiny version, with which I might torture one of my Barbies, who now slumber innocently in storage.
