Skunkworks = Paul

Filed under: Announcements,General — Marcus Tettmar @ 3:02 pm

Some regular mjtnet.com forumites may have noticed that forum member SkunkWorks has recently become pgriffin. For those of you that don’t know, Skunkworks, according to Wikipedia, “is a term used in engineering and technical fields to describe a group within an organisation given a high degree of autonomy and unhampered by bureaucracy, tasked with working on advanced or secret projects.” Yes, SkunkWorks is actually none other than our very own Paul Griffin.

Paul started using Macro Scheduler some years ago as a customer of ours and has become a bit of an expert. For the last few years he has specialised in providing Macro Scheduler consultancy and has made his living from developing Macro Scheduler code for his clients. Under his SkunkWorks persona he has been active in our forums, providing help to other members. About a year ago Paul joined us to help out with customer support. About that time Paul had the idea for AppNavigator, and the SkunkWorks operation began developing in earnest. As you probably know from recent announcements, AppNavigator was officially unveiled a few days ago.

So Paul is now VP for AppNavigator and has cast off the SkunkWorks forum persona. So for all you forumites, pgriffin = Skunkworks. And congratulations to Paul for the official launch of AppNavigator!
