All About Tita Jane

I’m Tita Jane Uymatiao. In the Philippines where I live, Tita means Aunt. I love geeky stuff and consider myself a Digital ImmigrAUNT.

A bit of trivia about me…

First programming language learned was COBOL (no kidding!). I submitted my programs for encoding on punch cards (you can now guess what generation I’m from!)
Was so excited over my first laptop which I bought in the U.S. and lugged back to the Philippines because it was one of Dell’s high-end laptops at that time — with a built-in fax software and disk storage of 20 MB (you did not read that wrong. MB!)
Gets sentimental remembering my early days working with MS-DOS and C-prompt commands, Wordstar, PageMaker, Lotus 1-2-3, and a bit of VisiCalc before Excel came into the picture.
Remembers the sounds of a dial-up modem and regrets throwing away my U.S. Robotics modem. Am happy though that I still have my IBM flowcharting template and Beeper 150 pager.
Thought I had had enough of IT consulting and computer audits when I turned to blogging in 2006 but realized that IT and geekiness will always be in my blood — reason why this blog was created.
Gets a lot more excited over a gadget rather than the latest fashionable women’s wear
Hopes to continue covering the IT world by maintaining this tech blog
Will write about anything tech that catches my fancy and which I think you’d love to read. And that includes MacGyver-like discoveries under my How To’s category
Wants to tell other Titas that there is no age limit to geekiness. Once a Digital ImmigrAUNT, always a Digital ImmigrAUNT!

Tech isn’t all I write about. Here are my other blog sites:
