Quickies under the rain
After weeks of summer heat, it finally rained here in the metro. So I killed time in the mall. Free WiFi! Some updates are in order:
- I’m settling in at work, though there isn’t much to do yet except to get a feel of the system.
- The new workplace is an eye-opener. Lots of tech (*nix, net, Windows) geeks there. There’s this mailing list I subscribed to, and, man, the topics they tackle there are deep, in a hard-core geeky way.
- My son, Gabriel, passed the Department of Education’s special education curriculum exams. Four tough exams, would you believe? And that’s for Grade One! I got to accompany him for his math exam about three weeks ago, and I feel for the kids. I mean, the exam was about a hundred or so items. I even saw one kid crying while taking the test.
- The small one, Julian, is growing very fast, and showing signs of mischief already.
- Peng (the wife), on the other hand, is getting bored with work. Right now, she’s thinking of starting a business. Gotta help her with that.
Prayer, support for Paul
Paul Franco was born premature. His daddy, Paolo Alexis Falcone, is an officer of the Philippine Linux Users Group. I hope we can extend all the help that we possibly can for Paolo’s family. Prayers, financial and emotional support are what they need right now.
