Johnny Halife’s Blog

On September 13th of 2006, Mariano Szklanny and I traveled for the first time to Redmond. Where we worked on Web Client Software Factory, it was an amazing experience from the personal and professional side. I think it was a life-time opportunity, and we took most out of it.

As I did when I came back, thanks to everybody who made this trip possible and those who held us and made us feel like home: Southworks Team (specially Alex Jack and Matías Woloski), Tim Osborn, Eugenio Pace, Diego Dagum,  P&P WCSF Team, and many more.

Here is a summary of memories from our stay

Everyday of my life I carry with me the light-blue bag depicted below. I guessed if I really knew what was in-there. I opened it, took a picture and made a collage on Flickr. It's a cool feature of Flickr. Enter and read the notes, and why not share yours!

That's a little bit more about:me

thanks,

I've been tagged by Matías Woloski.

I like this game - You need to reveal five things about you that most of people don't know, and tag 5 other folks.

So here are mine:

- I'm 21 years old and live in Argentina. I work for Southworks and study at college.

-I'm a big music fan, I used to play guitar in a band for 3 years. The band was called Supernova and we used to play brit-pop-oasis kind of music.

-I'm afraid of the dogs, yeah really I cannot see them even if they're tied. I don't know where this fear comes from but I think it started when I was a little child.

-My first computer was a Commodore 128, the only thing that I could do with that machine was playing Prince of Persia. Then my grandfather bought me a 368DX and I played a lot and learnt a lot doing small quizes on QBasic. And tweaking config.sys and autoexec.bat to better administer computer's  memory.

-Books, books, books. I have a huge library at home, I love reading and it's something that I learnt when I was 4. From trips to redmond I bought more than 25 books. I don't read just about computers also Economics and Logic are cool topics for me.

The extra 5 pictures about me:

At The Cavern Club, old Supernova's time

At El Living, that's the funny place that I love.

At Space Needle, Seattle, 2006

At Southworks, with Mariano and Diego (who takes care of me when I'm at Redmond).

At DF, that's Jessy my sister, the picture is from Grandma's 70's birthday.

That's it, I'll keep taggin' people. My 5 tags are: Zaiden, Dami Galletini, Ezequiel Jadib, Eze Bella, and Lito Dam.

thanks,
