RLE-Curacao, March 9, 2010 --- Today is the birthday of my father who passed away some two years ago. I am sitting and working at his desk. It is the same desk he worked at since the 18th century. My dad was a strict and principled man, who - I remember it well - teached us the right spelling of words. We - my sister and me - were around five. He made us lie down at the desk and write the words while he dictated them. I cannot say that I liked it - will not rewrite history here, but it served its purpose. Later he mellowed down a lot. But I can remember the good feeling that I had when I did it right. Doing it right gives a great feeling. Yepp, it totally compensates for the frustration of the learning curve.

Today, I worked with Sebastian Emerenciana at the desk of my father. For some time, we tried to setup a Facebook connection between Facebook and the GroupIQ. It didn't work and it didn't work ...... and it kept on not working. Outside an big aguana falls out of a mango tree. I was fed up, but at the desk of my father, you do not quit. You keep on doing it,  till it is right. Bammmm. Sebastian found the missing link. He is great. Of course, we only had achieved just a small feature. Facebook members can now easily register as members of the GroupIQ (community software by JomSocial).

I love these small moments of pure joy. Totally a YESSSSS moment. Life is like American Football. Any 10 yards progress is a victory. Can't wait till tomorrow. Another victory around the corner!!?
