Meet the Oracles!

Igor_M — Fri, 26 May 2017 18:06:21 GMT

The Oracles are a small group of Community members who really know their stuff. Each Oracle has proven their in-depth knowledge of Public Mobile, answered lots of questions in the Community, and helped many members resolve issues. They’re part tech wizard, part boy/girl scout, and part Jedi master.

Imm1304

Meet imm1304. He considers himself a student of life and is on a journey to see the world. We think he’s doing pretty well so far considering he’s already visited 37 countries! When he’s not out trotting the globe or busy studying to become a Trauma Surgeon, imm1304 is all about sports. He’s a cricket buff and a big fan of the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Blue Jays. If he could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, imm1304 would pull out his heavily customized LG G4 to give Sigmund Freud a call. “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...”

Luddite

If magic makes you a magician, then logic makes Luddite a “logician”. Dr. Luddite (yup, he has a PhD) likes to discuss the question “Is the glass half empty or half full?” While we think that full is always better, be ready to discuss. If you’re chatting with Luddite, you’re probably sitting fireside in his study with a glass of Riesling, snacking on roasted nuts, and listening to Elton John. He would tell you that if he could have lunch with any historical figure, it would be Winston Churchill. “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.”

NDesai

NDesai is an IT whiz! After years of work experience and a strong passion for what he does, he has a wide breadth of IT knowledge including computer hardware/ software, networking, programming, web development, wireless and security. As a result, he has a hard time going anywhere without his computer and phone. I’m sure many of you can relate, right? NDesai is also an avid Vancouver Canucks and New England Patriots Fan.

srlawren

srlawren is all about mobile, tech, and rock n roll. If he’s not typing away on his keyboard as a software developer, you can find him air drumming on the big air stage with some of his favourite bands, like AC/DC and The Barenaked Ladies. Lunch with srlawren will likely include pizza, sushi, or dim sum (or all of the above), and if he could choose anyone in time to share it with, it would be Chris Farley. While he doesn’t consider himself an avid traveller, he has been to Vegas a lot. When we asked why he’s been so many times, he would only say, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”

Rockdaddy22

Rockdaddy22 loves the Public Mobile Community because he loves helping others and sharing his knowledge about phones and how they work. He also has a strong appreciation for the Public Mobile moderators, and all the work that they do! Aside from his Community involvement, Rockdaddy22 likes to watch movies, collect coins and is a big fan of the Toronto Raptors.

Thank you to everyone at PM (but especially you, @Jeremy_M) for being so appreciative and supportive to all of us community members.

I shall wield the mighty Oracle sword (or is it a hammer? sickle?) responsibly!

Hi @NDesai,

LOL!

My eyes water at the thought of achieving 5,000 bravos. I access the community using only a 2015 Moto G with its 5" diagonal screen.

Cheers.

Hi 778,

Congratulations to you, and the very invaluable work that you do in the greater Raincouver area!

With regard to being an oracle, we do not have swords; we have wands, and pixie dust that we sprinkle here and there.

As for hammers and sickles, only oracles with Publicova Mobilecova in Russia use them.

FYI.

@7789849803 it's my pleasure Looking forward to amazing things!

P.s - let's go with sword...

Re: Meet the Oracles!

7789849803 — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 20:12:42 GMT

@Martin Thanks for the recognition, and for the education about PM's Russian branch.

I promise to use each one of my sword, wand, and pixie dust responsibly!

Too funny

Re: Meet the Oracles!

Martin — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 20:19:58 GMT

Hi 778,

Please be especially careful with pixie dust. It has a history of profoundly changing people upon whom it's been sprinkled. If you don't believe me, ask @Jeremy_M!

@Martin Trust me, I know! I used to be a common, world-travelling man. Now I'm somehow a warrior fairy with wings...

Martin — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 20:30:11 GMT

Hi 778,

Think positively!

Now that you're recognized by Public Mobile as an oracle, you can parlay that into making money. How? Advertise in the newspapers that you're a recognized oracle, and tell fortunes.

Sounds doable?

Re: Meet the Oracles!

7789849803 — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 20:34:12 GMT

@Martin Actually, I did think of that possibility. Then I found an article online about an oracle associated with Publicova Mobilecova who's languishing in Russian jail for upsetting the authorities there with just such fortune telling.

For now, I think I'll keep myself limited to the fortunes of bravos I earn from this community.

Re: Meet the Oracles!

Martin — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 20:39:29 GMT

Hi 778,

You made a wise decision. You're obviously an oracle at heart.

Cheers.
