I will try that geek code soon as I figure it ou @annamanila- I blush when you say "in the local blogging who’s who" Trust me when I say that you will soon be there. It's good thing you grabbed that opportunity to be trained. I think I left (got terminated) the office when that happened. That was the perfect moment for you. You are going places. @nightfox- how leet. I will try that geek code soon as I figure it ou

It’s good thing you grabbed that opportunity to be trained. I think I left (got terminated) the office when that happened. That was the perfect moment for you. You are going places.

I think for you it comes naturally. See, you are in the IT business and is in the local blogging who's who. As for me, Noems, I am just very happy I have caught the bus of IT ... just in the nick of time. I think you were still in the ISSI when the office began to computerize and there was this training program for the staff ... very selected because the (first generation) PCs we had were very few. I wasn't supposed to be in the first batch of trainees .. but I insisted (I thought if I didn't learn then I couldnt learn later) so I brought my own pc borrowed from a sister just so I could join. Not a geek -- cannot be one if I bled trying -- but at least IT literatre enough to wordprocess, desktop publish, email, pla online scrabble and blog. How happy! LOL You, Noems, are a geek!

I wouldn't mind you having for a mom. Thanks for a glimpse of the evolution of computers in a family household in the Philippines. I remember my first encounter with computers is way back in 1995. The floppy disks back then are sized 5.5 (I think). Only a few people have hard disks on their computers. I am delighted to play with good old pacman then also through an MSDOS program. And the (I think) the earliest version of Prince of Persia game (gamers now this title). I did also learn BASIC on my first year in highschool. Those where the days. But the MSDOS know how comes in handy once in a while especially when our Windows crashed. It helped us repair the problem on our own. Its really cool to be geek. Yes you are one cool mom, Nao.
