Agendas
Posted: - Modified: | lifeWe did the formal pamanhikan last night, over Skype. I prepared an agenda to help W- and his parents talk to my parents:
The agenda provided a running joke throughout the video chat. ;) The structure helped, too! We documented the decisions made, and I’m responsible for e-mailing people the minutes. W- and I keep planning information in Google Wave, a shared spreadsheet, and other notes.
Yes, we’re that kind of couple.
W- and I have joked that IBM’s helped us get a lot of experience in working with global teams and coordinating projects. ;)
Also, in other news, I’m engaged. =)

2010-02-01T08:17:21ZDon, you get a special thank-you. ;) When W- and I first met, he recognized my name from one of my articles in the Linux Journal. That's one of the reasons we got to talking! <laugh>

2010-02-05T23:31:47ZSeth: Yes, I know, evil of me to bury news like that at the end of a blog post with a nondescript title. ;) Think of it like an Easter egg for a blog, perhaps? <laugh>
Thanks for all the congrats! Venue: Toronto City Hall wedding chambers. We're keeping it simple. =)
