Connecting people

Posted on May 8th, 2006 by Sacha Chua

Revisiting a website comment from Francis, I realized that I should
get him plugged into our cool geek network in the Philippines. So I
e-mailed a couple of friends, and here’s what Francis said:

*explodes with glee*

Thanks Ate! That just made my day. I can’t wait to get to learn from real
geeks (I’ve been missing out on so much…*sigh*).

(“Ate” = older sister, also used as a term of respect)

He then went on to describe the .NET coding he’s doing as part of his
internship. Winston mentioned the rapid start training program that
his company does so that new grads can be brought up to speed on open
source. =) That sounds like a great way to get into fun and
interesting work! winston.karma++.
