Andrey Sivtsov -> Andrew Boon

Andrew Boon posted 22nd of October 2008 in . 50 comments.

Let me introduce myself... :)

Ok, we changed names and I'm officially announcing the change. So, don't be surprised to see "Andrew Boon" instead of "Andrey Sivtsov" and "Julia Boon" instead of "Yulia Sivtsova" in emails and on the site. It's official.

We changed names/surnames due to quite a few reasons and we love the new ones.

My personal weblog is at www.andrewboon.com (temporarily powered by Wordpress), but there's no BoonEx info there. Guests welcome.

As for BoonEx news - we have a few VERY exciting things to show, and I hope announcement of the first betas is just a couple of weeks away. We did a lot more than we initially planned, so expect to see some major advancements.

Stay tuned.

Want to ask this. Does Boonex care for those who develop an addon for Boonex Products? I'm still waiting for a response of my mail regarding my Dolphin Mobile Addon Project. Would i ever get a response?
iced
I am not sure if this helps but boonex is already covering that in that Shark project
gkcgautam
I know that they would be releasing the mobile version with Shark. But what about Dolphin? :)
Andrew Boon
Such addon would make a good sense. Did you submit your addon to Unity for review? unfortunately Unity review process is now very slow, but we're trying to fix that.

Great Blog... Almost as good as mine :)

Hey andy, the blog needs to be trimmed to several pages. The reason for saying this is because i consistently had to scroll down for a hell of a lot of seconds to get down to the bottom page. VERY bad for blog readers.

Just a friendly comment
Hey Iced
Please don't get everyone to doing that, I'd much rather save 1 page than hitting page2 page3 page4 page5 [age6 and so on.
Andrew Boon
Believe me, I tried. The way Wordpress embeds photos just kills me, and the only way to make them look right is to drop them all into the post, which creates huge posts. I know there're plugins/workarounds, but I hope we'll have a more effective solution soon. ;)
iced
I actually agree... Wordpress is a bit of a mine field in terms of getting it to do what you want it to do. My wife uses it and I steer well clear of it :)

Congrats on the new name and new life down under to you all.

Congrats Andrew!

I can't wait to see the first betas.
Andrew Boon
I can see alphas now, but still craving for betas too ;)
Synergy
Congratulations on the new name I can even pronounce it :-) Eagerly waiting to see the beta.
Andrew Boon
Yeah, that's the catch. Unless you're Russian this surname is impossible to pronounce. Had quite a few problems because of that :)

Beta's on the way.
MichelSwiss
Why Boon ??? Why not Holywater... coz of all these cetaceans and fishes here around :-))

Congratulations to you and Julia ;-)
Andrew Boon
Arggghhhh... where've you been with your great idea?!
OK, anyway, we've done too little to carry that "holy" prefix in our names, yet.

:)

Way to go!!! and Welcome to the land down under,
as a fellow Aussie, good on ya mate!.
I see you have been enjoying our beautiful country, don't forget to add the "Great Ocean Road" in Victoria to your travel wish list,
all the very best Andrew, Julia & family
Andrew Boon
Hey mate! Thanks for the hint, will definitely try it. Traveling across Australia is a great fun - I think we'll be trying lots of new places soon.
Hey Andrew
You done made me envious, I always wanted to go to Australia and have a looksee and wander the countryside, but I'm stuck in the US it seems.
anyhow I wish you and your family the best.
Andrew Boon
US is also a beautiful country and has a lot to offer, plus you don't need a visa to travel to Australia once in a while ;)
clubbeyourself
Andrew, I noticed that you have personally responded to everyone's comments. I think that is great that you took the time. I know the people that are most active on this site appreciate the help and assistance you provide to us all the time, keep up the good work.
Andrew Boon
...and here goes my now obligatory reply to your post. ;)

Thank you for heads up.

That is kinda cool. A quick search yields:

Boon is an archaic English word meaning a prayer or a request, most commonly preserved in the phrase to grant a boon. Boon is also a common Chinese name derived from the Chinese Character 'Wen', meaning honest and kind.

I'm sure you will be true to your name, afterall- ANYONE stripped of all monies and titles, their name is all that they have.
Andrew Boon
This name is big credit and I really hope to be able to be true to it.

Dear Andrew and Julia Boon,

The new names really have a good ring!

Although I can't imagine where you got the inspiration.

God Bless!
Andrew Boon
Thank you! Yes, the inspiration happened to be close :)
Technoman
Andrey how about you continue to work on Boonex

I will take Julia for a boat ride and coast the Oceans near Australia and someday find that Big Shark weve been looking for years :)

You know I love you man .... muahhhhhhhhhhh

Where is that Shark ?
Andrew Boon
The Big Shark is right in my browser. Very nice, impressive and promising, but not ready for prime-time yet.

Anyway, we'll get you something very nice BEFORE the Big 8. And it should be very impressive either ;)

On the sidenote - The Shark is likely to appear earlier if Julia is not too far out in the Ocean ;)

Why would you change your name - are you ashamed of your heritage?
