Hey! I’m in the ACM Digital Library!

ACM Digital Library entry for Taming the TODO

Okay, I’ve officially screwed up in terms of names now… All of my
research work will probably be published as “Sandra Jean Chua”, but
because I use “Sacha Chua” for practically everything else, I confuse
people and search engines.

I should just legally change my name to “Sacha Chua” and be done with
it. How do I go about doing that? I guess I should do that in the
Philippines, because I’ll need to update my passport and everything.
It’s _so_ going to be a hassle at immigration, though.

Meep.
