Friends

Hemant J. Naidu 

Visit the official web log of Hemant J. Naidu at Naids’s Nonsense.  Hemant and I are close personal friends having grown up together since childhood.  We have many things in common including our birthdays, our professional disciplines, and our fondness for writing.  I find Hemants writing to be informative, topical, and refreshingly concise.  I strongly suggest giving him a read.

Hemant lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.  He works as a software developer for a world-class technology company.  An organization that is always developing cutting edge solutions.  Hemant loves his work and is fortunate that he enjoys going to the office everyday.

Hemants interests include technolgy, films, music, cooking, wine, golf, and basketball.  When he’s not on his computer he can be found killing some time reading non-fiction books or playing some Xbox 360.

Believe it or not, Hemant finds the time to maintain two additional blogs.  A technical blog, which can be viewed at Let’s Get Technical and a movie review blog, which can be reached at Film Muser.

Jeffrey Vanneste

Stop to check out Jeffrey Vanneste.  I met Jeffrey approximately six months ago through Hemant.  A couple of sentences into one of his personal blog posts I marveled at his dry wit.  He’s also one of the few people I read who can be sarcastic without being offensive.

Jeffrey is currently developing software for a company called Point2 Technologies (if you ever looked for a house online you may have come across Point2 Homes).  He works back and forth between Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Montreal, Quebec (where his wife is taking her Masters at McGill University).  His job involves working with Microsoft’s .NET framework building ASP.NET powered web sites.

Somehow, Jeffrey also posts on two additional blogs (whereas I can barely maintain one), he has his personal blog  for random life happenings and his technical blog for more technology related posts.  You can find photos he’s taken on his flickr page  and things he’s been reading from his google reader shared items .
