What Would You Do With Sacha Chua?

by Mark Evans on October 25th, 2006

Within Toronto’s Web community, Sacha Chua has become one of the leading “personalities”. Armed with infectious enthusiasm, charm and smarts, she would be an excellent person to hire once she graduates from UoT. The key question is how best to use her talents. It would probably be as a “super customer service rep, who can come into a bad situation and get everyone happy by the time she leaves. If I was an HR person from Microsoft, IBM,, etc. I’d be knocking on Sacha’s door ASAP.

    … and they did! John Oxley (director of community evangelism,
    Microsoft Canada) got in touch with me right after reading your blog

    things up by April. Perfect timing, really - maybe I can even talk
    about IBM 2.0 at Mesh! (We’re playing around with some *seriously*

    looking forward to learning more about that and
    networking/relationship building!

    […] 5 Sacha Chua showed off what can be done in the scriptable environment, in this case emacs, as she went from Text editor, to a.i. doctor, to game engine to task / email organizer and beyond. Sacha was six feet tall on that stage, even though she did not actual levitate at anytime (although she came close, as always). A Tour de force of the Emacs, a text editing tool built in a interpreted lisp language environment, bascially a personalized productivity platform which allows for massive customization. Sacha had the crowd entertained and enthralled. (Sacha blogged her own impressions and mentions that Emacs was speaking to her!) Seconded! […]
