My name is Charo Nuguid, a.k.a. Head Geekette. I first learned how to program in 1983 using Apple Basic on an Apple clone. After graduating with a degree in Mathematics-Actuarial Science in 1996, I started my career in software development as a trainer. Then in 2008 I decided to go on a six-month hiatus. Those six months have stretched to two years now.
I’ve learned a lot of other things about myself since I went on my extended break. I learned new skills, enjoyed new experiences and I’m actually a lot happier and less stressed than when I was working for the large software companies.
This blog first started out its existence in blogger.com under the name Primitive Types on May 20, 2003. At first the goal was supposed to be a half-personal, half-geek site. Some time later, the author and a friend decided to start PinoyWeb.Net. Since buying the new domain, it seemed proper to revamp the old site. The Geekette Speaketh (TGS) was born and given a purely technology-oriented focus. Having pigeonholed this blog on a single theme has prevented me from writing about all the other stuff I’m interested in. Nowadays TGS doesn’t have any specific theme and simply talks about anything under the sun that interests me or piques my passions.
