Dear Greg,

As technology continues to reshape the dynamic environments we operate
in, innovation continuous to grow as a key ingredient needed to
maintain competitiveness in the increasingly complex global

Shangri-La. The conference theme will be "Enriching Lives through
Innovative Communications", which encapsulates our interests on how
innovations using the different evolving technologies can be of real
value to existing and new customers by:
· Lowering the cost or improving the quality of Globe's existing services

business markets across mobile, broadband, and multimedia technologies

Companies, the Academe, and Freelance Developers.

applications based on the convention's theme
4) Share technology information relevant to the development of
applications for the Telecommunications industry

Trains coming from the south will be less crowded than those coming from the
north. Those in the latter will have to be at the station by 6am, maybe
6:30am at the latest, to avoid the crowds, and even the former may be too
late. Those from the south should have an easier time. If I were commuting,
I might take the bus instead. If I were taking a car, I don't think it makes
much difference either way, because I'm familiar with the south-bound
traffic only from Shaw Blvd onwards.

As for me, I live near the area so I'm walking :) How considerate of Globe
Labs to hold the event in a place other than Makati <weg>

[Eumir Gaspar]

crud that was what i was actually fearing: having to go really early to beat the morning rush hour(registration is at 7:30-8:45 and i'm guessing it won't be on the dot so going there early means we'll have to wait til about 9-930) but then going there late will be suicide since it will be rush hour. crap. i guess going early + waiting is better then...besides it's a hotel anyways hehehe thanks for the input!

[fmagsipoc]

we're back at the office, thanks for the lunch :D

yung may mga pictures diyan ng booth girls...err... event post nyo :D

[Jerome Gotangco]

liked the SOAP part ;-)

Thanks, man.

Ditto on the presentation, dude. Too bad about the minor hitch at the
start. I think that might've had something to do with your X config
file -- xorg.conf? Had the same thing also, on an Acer with my
FreeBSD. Dunno if Jerome's experienced the same thing. Anyway, I
*think* your future experiences with LCD projectors should be more
positive if you reconfig X, this time attaching an external monitor.

Kudos to Greg!

Greg, thanks for the great lunch!
Kaya lng d ko na kyo nahagilap sarap kc ng pagkain

Nice presentation, bro! Students from UST are asking
a lot about Ruby and Rails. Told them to join the group.
And maybe you'd be available for some speaking
engagement?

Just wanted to ask if any of you guys are joining the
competition?

[Esmael]

Hey guys,
anybody interested on a PHPUGPH T-shirt(size L) trade (from Globe
labs event ) with your PhRuG T-Shirt? I could find you guys yesterday
after the event. I have an extra T-shirt not yet used.
I think size L din dapat, hehehe... or it will not fit.

[Greg Moreno]

Thanks guys for the kind comments and applause, hehe
It wouldn't be possible without Mikong's twitter/merb app. Hindi po
ako ang gumawa nun! Tester lang ako, hehe.

I still have some shirts. I-raffle natin sa next na meeting.

[Greg Moreno]
