My Recent Gifts

Me and My Family

My god-daughter Hannah
My god-daughter Hannah

I am a co-founder of Minti.... Happily married with a baby boy born 11 April 08 and a baby girl born 4 Dec 09, and a proud god-father of two boys and one girl who are spread around the world.

  • One godson: Archie, is in London.
  • One godson: Kieren is in my hometown of Perth, Australia and
  • my God-daughter: Hannah, is in Johannesburg South Africa (until recently was in Boston USA)

I come from a large modern family which includes 2 divorces, 4 half sisters, 2 full brothers and a step-sister. At one stage in my teens I had 13 different Grandparents and Great-grandparents who were alive (though not all sending Christmas presents ;) )

I try to balance work and play as much as possible in my life and decided to move back to Perth after 11 years in Europe because of the great weather and many lifestyle choices (beach, tennis, fishing, cafe's, etc) I was pretty surprised to discover how much exciting and cutting edge business is going on in our little (1.5m people) town :)

Many of my siblings were born whilst I was in my late teens so I had plenty of experience putting kids to sleep, changing nappies and so on...

I have worked in over 20 countries over the past 17 years with a focus on mergers and acquisitions in the telecoms field having been at companies such as PwC Consulting, Swisscom, Deutsche Telecom and Equant.

Moolah cash-outs on hold

Comment Published at 16:2216:221 comments1 comments31 Visits31 VisitsReport

 We made a minor adjustment to how Moolah is earned last week and this has shown us a bug in the system we did not expect.  Until the research is done as to how hundreds of thousands of Moolah rewards were dished out over the past few days we have put on hold the option of cashing out moolah.  

Rest assured we will return the cash-out ability when we have sorted out the error and most likely corrected a few of the moolah balances held by members out there.  

Apologies for the problem and please bear with us!

Removing "Know a lot" from Q&A

Comment Published at 17:4417:447 comments7 comments63 Visits63 VisitsReport

 We have decided after a lot of feedback from long time members, and some confusion amongst newer members, to remove the "Know a lot...write an article" option from the Q&A section.

All answers to Q&A will now appear as comments under the question.

However, I would really appreciate it if experienced members could keep an eye out for excellent answers to Q&A topics and suggest to the author of the comment that they move it over to become an Advice Article !

Hope this makes most people happy most of the time  

see you round Minti

Matt
