One Internet Day 2005!
I’m so glad I was able to attended the One Internet Day! I wanted so much to hear the presentation about the newest payment gateway via sms - payfree Unfortunately, that day was Mom and Dad’s wedding anniversary! So, we had a family lunch first.
Well, we got in time to hear the presentation of pinoydelikasi.com by its founder Jovel Cipriano. It was kind of Jovel to share with the audience his experiences and lessons learned from running his business online. One thing that strucks me is his message about motivating merchants not to be overwhelmed on getting into the business just because somebody else or somebody big is already doing it!
Up next, a lively and interesting talk by JJ Disini on the case of a Filipino White Hat Hacker convicted JJ is so cool! Hahaha. I came to know JJ last year for a gov’t project. But, have not met personally. So, after his talk I gave him my card. Maybe, he would recognize me. Hehehe. Well, he did. 
OH yes, I’ve been wanting to join OWASP - Open Source Web Application Security Project. I often see the post of Adrian at yahoogroups. Anyway, it was another eye opener for me. And, I know OWASP is something I could use and contribute to in relation to my work. 
And, the last speaker was an inspiring talk by Boogie on his www.angbagongpinoy.org It was so inspiring and emotionally motivating. After his talk, I felt like giving him a standing ovation! Hahaha. But, I did not dare.
Generally, One Internet Day 2005 is fun. I really enjoyed that day. Met new and old friends at the event. So, looking forward to One Internet Day 2006!
