Thanks, I just need to start learning more web technologies. I'm from the old school mainframe programming. I'm becoming a dinosaur. We had J2EE project fail, we just didn't have the staff and the know how. So i'm really green in web stuff. Thanks!

こんにちは美香さん。（この漢字はあなたの名前ですね？）初めまして！ Thanks for the warm greeting, makes me feel bad for not posting on my blog since November (It's like when guests come over and find everything in your refrigerator is expired). It's cool to meet someone with such similar interests so local in Hawaii. The tech community here continues to astound me! またあとで！

Aloha Mika!

Thanks for the welcome!

My wife is Thai/Chinese, and we have an office in Bangkok and do business in Asia as well as the U.S. from our Honolulu office.

Thanks for the suggestion about the groups. I hope I can make a contribution - I feel like I'm not as techie as most folks here. My expertise is more on the business side.

Thanks again, and see you in the Hui!

Aloha,
Jay

Aloha Mika,

Mahalo for the complement and your welcome.

This picture was taken at the blowhole on the west Maui shore north of Lahaina.

This is a great community, I am glad I was told about it.

Wow, tanx for such great pics. I felt being there. Kewl shots. I think you meant "Oi como vai? which is 'Hello how are you?' in Portuguese. I came across this great blog site while researching on mobile techs. It is very informational n relevant. I've been in Japan for 2y and knew about mobile barcodes. Also, I ran tablethotels.jp and tablethotels.co.kr for 2 yrs and suggested implementation of ColorZip's tools in America. But, sadly USA is evermore far from being innovative in mobile phone tech. I am glad to have come across this community. It is an honor. Sam

Aloha Mika! Thanks for the comments, the Konia business has been a labor of love which has taken almost 10 months to develop online. We are almost in beta. BTW, that collection has taken over 25 years to build. We are putting up about 70% of the private collection for sale there, with proceeds to help build a more unique collection. After we are out of beta, I am going to be redesigning the Martin and MacArthur website and adding ecommerce to it. Again, thanks and take care!

Hi Mika,

Yes, we did. I am very happy to meet you again. I have been to couple Honolulu coders meeting and had met you there before. :-) Lately, with my baby girl, it has been hard to go to meetings in the evening time. It definitely made me feel better going to these lunch meetings.

Cheers,

Thanks for welcoming me. I was very happy in the picture, how could I not be surrounded by 4 pretty girls. My friend, Ayesha Lefebvre, invited me to this site. So this is a Hawaii techie facebook like site? Are the participants mostly from Oahu or are there some from Maui like me?

Thanks for letting us use your conference room as a meeting area. I'll see what I can do for the next one. I was thinking about maybe if I could come up with some kind of fundraiser or something for our group so we can use them for expenses such as more pizza and other stuff. Wouldn't that be great? :D

Where do you get your information regarding Blue Mars? I am interested in every little bit of it. I was wondering if you will be or have a chance to join the CLOSED BETA? Let me know if you are because I would LOVE to join. I've built a new PC just for this game.

Feb 24, 2009

Also, Do you own this site?

Feb 24, 2009
LanCE

Thanks.
I noticed people offer jobs here in Hawaii?
Do you know anything about that?
Maybe I can get a chance to work on Blue Mars. I know... Long shot.

Hi Mika,

Hmmm, you work late too huh? I do pretty much everything computer, except programming. Been doing the consultant thing since about 92. most of my clients are small (but interesting) so I don't get to do much large scale stuff, but I'm functional in Win Mac & Linux, hdwr & general hand holding. Actually, I'm here looking for help in the programming end of things, and will post something in a few minutes.

Thanks for making me feel welcome . . . jim

Thank you for the welcome message Mika. I will definitely look at the FAQ to find out what this site has to offer! My weekend was great and hope yours was as well.

Thank you Mika. Being a TechHui member, I hope to gain or share knowledge on today's rapid-changing technologies. Sometimes I felt alone with my free and open source philosophy. Having discovered TechHui, now I hope to connect with other techies that share similar ideals.

Aloha Mika,

And thank you for the warm welcome. I've joined a few of the groups but found than many of them have actually had no activity for many, many months. I was hoping that this would be an opportunity to actually get together with other people with similar interests, but with so little, or no, activity in the groups, I'm not sure how that will happen.

Also, a suggestion: considering the poor state of the economy and the result that some of us are findingit difficult to find work, it might be nice to have a "jobs" section on the site.

- Roger

Thanks for the hello Mika. I'll spread the word around the office and with people who might be interested, and I'll see if we can't get a couple of people to sign up.

Thanks Mike, I look forward to helping you grow this community (actually I'm so new to this, I literally just joined Facebook last Friday after listening to your presentation on Ooi). Now that I'm beginning to understand how these work, I think it's a great idea to do this.
