I also would beg to differ with this one :) : the brightest guy here (an honest opinion)
There are a lot of guys who are way brighter, smarter, and more experienced. I just love to read and explore. I too have a lot of rooms for improvement :). If I can remember, Mark is the one doing thin clients, not sure. Oh, there's Kutch, the wireless guy -- he's waaaaayyyy smarter. Botp, well, he's my mentor on a lot of things. The rest, they're good friends and sources of information. All I can say is, watch out for FOSSIL in the coming weeks. Or maybe PhOSSIL (Philippine Open Source Software Integrated Lab)... hopefully I'll finalize things soon. Been very busy. FOSSIL/PhOSSIL is about: - opensource hardware projects/experimentation (openBIOS, LTSP, etc..) - opensource software (anything opensource, even Windows/ReactOS) Will let you guys know what happens. The list will be the first to know. See ya! On 2/19/07, mark navarro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
