Who are you?

Chette.

And by the way, that’s pronounced as "chet."

What’s your name?

Chette. Seriously.

I’m officially Franchette in my birth certificate. Among other things. I am the unwilling recipient of a very long name (39 characters, to be exact); which I’ve always believed was caused by a creative clash between my parents on that fateful day in September.

I am also known as Che-chette, Chetteskie, Chettee Girl, Franchetteee, Chettelog, Maldita, and Darna — the reasons of which will not be covered in this FAQ.

What is chette.com all about?

The good thing about having your own personal website: You can write (almost) anything you want.

The bad thing: People keep on asking what your website is all about.

As with your typical homepage, this website contains knowledge, opinions, and basically any information that the author would like to impart.

It originally started as an online diary, which quickly evolved to a site on web development. After a few years, I erased it from cyberspace, started from scratch, and just uploaded things at random.

What do you do?

I was a horrible programmer in my past life. IT Marketing and Journalism welcomed me with open arms a few years later.

I discovered Project Management in my volunteer work. After a few years, I decided to apply these self-taught concepts to various software and web development projects, until it officially became my profession.

Ergo, for around 8 hours a day, I am a Software Project Manager.

For the remaining 16 hours, I sleep, write articles for various publications, do volunteer work for a bunch of non-profits, and try to make some sense out of my personal websites.

I have also been known to eat, sleep, watch TV, doodle, and go wild in hardware shops.

Can you add tips about so-and-so in your website?

Sure. Just send me an email. And if it’s anything that triggers me, you’ll definitely see it on this website.

Do you answer your emails?

I read most non-newsletter non-spam emails. Answering them is another matter.

Forgive me — I’m a mailing list freak, and thus receive hundreds of emails every day. I do try my best, but contrary to some beliefs, hindi ako si Darna.
