About Stretsh
When in the USA in 1996, Rehuel Lobato de Mesquita got the name “Stretch” from his “Dad” Lee Brown in Oakland, CA, because, contrary to most Americans, he was tall and skinny (stretched out). He then decided he would use that nickname in the future, some day!
Shortly after he got the nickname, he tried to get a Yahoo! account for stretch@yahoo.com, but, as one can guess, that email address was already taken. Going with the pronunciation he replaced the C with an S, since “tch” virtually sounds the same as “tsh”. And yes, stretSh was still available.
Finally, in 2004, Stretsh got to use the name for his business, Stretsh Web & Graphics, which he later changed to Stretsh Web Solutions. Stretsh is a self made web developer, focusing on PHP/MySQL. Recently he gained experience on creating CSS/XHTML valid websites.
Since Stretsh strongly believes in development of oneself, combined with enjoying life as a whole, he constantly looks for different challenges, bringing him to different corners of the (virtual) world. Knowing that there is a (maybe small) group that likes his style of writing and sense of humor, he decided to make it a daily effort to put his thoughts (which he probably does not understand himself anyway) in a blog.
He got married last year to Barbara, the woman he wants to use to pollute the world with more of himself (before you start calling me bad names for saying this: this is a normal expression where I come from, and has nothing to do with humiliating my offspring or wife!). When that offspring comes, Stretsh wants to have enough time free to raise his kids, so he is now working out different approaches to earning money (no, prostitution is not one of them!)
This is Stretsh, in a nutshell. It’s now up to you to form you own opinion about him from reading his few good notes!
(Can someone please explain to me why I write this as “third person”??)
