Updates, updates and more updates

Hey dudes! How is it goin'? Damn, it's been 2 months since my last post, I'm sorry!!

I gotta admit it, I've been to lazy to post anything, and then I had exams, God, the most stressful term I've ever had.

Well, there are a few new things, like I'm taking english lessons with a native (australian) teacher. It rocks, my accent is turning a bit aussie, mate :D

My exams went OK, and I'm currently on holidays, I'm sleeping a lot, I missed that :D

Yesterday, one of the Messenger team bloggers (Nicole) organized a meeting with messenger users, as you can read here. I had to stay awake till 1am, but it was worth it (I stayed awake till 3am finnaly :P), she's really nice, and it was very interesting to talk to someone working on Microsoft.
In the link above you can read some of the things people said to her, most of them are from my conversation!!!

I quote (she made up new names):

SpainGirl says:
Hello from Madrid!

(I'm sure it was me, cause I said it was too late for european users, I lived in Madrid)

InternationalPerson says:
If there is another one of these next time can you change the time so I don't have to be up at 3am?
Nicole says:
Sure thing, is 4am better j/k yes we will have them at different times.

This was me as well, but I'm sure someone else requested that too.

Billy says:
what's ur job exactly?
Nicole says:
I am a program manager on Windows Live Messenger

Literal quote from my conversation:

(1:47) Javier Soto: what's ur job exactly?
if I may ask
(1:47) Nicole *help: I am program manager
I work with coders, tester, designers, marketing etc to design features

So it was me again lol.

Billy says:
I wish worked on Messenger
Nicole says:
You can! Finish college and then apply here: http://www.microsoft.com/careers/
Billy says:
Great! Will I get to work with Bill Gates?
Nicole says:
Although Bill works at Microsoft he doesn't work on Messener specifically.

This was from my convo as well, this is what I told her:

(1:46) Javier Soto: im 16, and i like coding, i wish i could one day work there :
:P
(1:46) Nicole *help: well I don't actual code I work with coders though
(1:47) Nicole *help: well you can work here one day... make sure you go to college and then apply :)


(1:48) Javier Soto: u work with mr. bill too? :)
(1:48) Nicole *help: will Bill Gates works at Microsoft but not directly on Messenger he is very high up

Again more things we talked about. It was very funny when I found out that most of the things she quoted in their blog were from our conversation!!

Geek says:
How many people are talking to you?
Nicole says:
The most at one time was about 22. It is very hard to manage 22 flashing windows at once
However hundreds of people added the MessengerBloggers email address today. Maybe people are shy

(1:41) Javier Soto: how many people is atm talking to you?
(1:41) Javier Soto: half messenger users
lol
(1:42) Nicole *help: the most conversation windows I have had open was about 22 or so
(1:42) Javier Soto: it's not that much
(1:42) Nicole *help: although I close the CW down between each IM to try and keep track of things I have replied to
(1:42) Javier Soto: okay

Again!!!

Judy says:
This was great will there be more of these sessions in the future?
Nicole says:
Yes. Stay tuned to MessengerSays for the details

(1:43) Javier Soto: so, sorry for asking again about the future but
are u gonna do this again? :P
(1:44) Nicole *help: most likely
(1:44) Javier Soto: cool
(1:44) Nicole *help: We will post details on MessengerSays

At the end there was something funny:

(2:07) Javier Soto: ( just curious, do u guys use windows vista? :P)
(2:07) Nicole *help: you are joking right! of course we do :)

So this was it. Don't blaim me for getting on well with people in MS ^^
I promise I'll be more active in the blog from now on
