by the way sacha, however did you find out that i had linked you to my blog
already? and a correction to your own post – i’m an MIS graduate, not CS… =)

Logs. I periodically check my logs for new links and search queries – kinda fun.

sacha just gave me even more headaches with that sort problem i gave her – i guess i ought to up the ante and find some other
problem for her to sort out. she DID have a point with the efficiency problem…

I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t have to solve all the questions
people give me. ;) In fact, I prefer making _them_ think about it.
Mwahahaha!

i saw sacha last night, but i didn’t get to introduce
myself to her. darn. there’ll be a next time, for sure… and i was
reading through her wiki again last night, and noticed a cute article
she wrote on relating with her. does that mean i have to up my
geekiness notch to get to know her? i hope i don’t have to go
overboard on that. she also has another reflection along the same tune
(this time on marriage), which is also an interesting read.

<evil grin> Computer geekiness an advantage but not a requirement;
interest in something is essential. =)
