- And then it hit me …
I used to think that programming is all about mastering the control
structures of a programming language and wielding them to solve a problem.
That was college.
Time has a way of changing perspectives.
Now, it is all about metrics. Any coding monkey can write a program
but it takes a skilled programmer to write elegant code.
Code that reveals itself.
Code […]
- Of the Cebu Ubuntu Release Party
Last night we had the first ever Cebu Ubuntu Release Party for Maverick Meerkat.
It was organized by a group aptly called Cebuntu (Cebu + Ubuntu) which draws most
of its members from the linux enthusiasts of istorya.net.
I wasn’t expecting the party to be that grand(honestly). There was food (real food
like lechon and rice!) and the […]
- Green Eclipse Editor Color Theme
I am anal when it comes to editors.
The first thing I check out if I’m planning to use a particular editor for the long haul is if its color theme can be modified to my taste. Additional bonus is if it has a way to import/export those themes, so I can just find a color […]
- A little bit on unit testing code with major runtime dependency
There are times when you want to unit test a part of your code. Maybe for proof-of-concept that it works, or you just wanna be sure that it works before you hit that execute button.
The thing is, that part of the code requires that a runtime mechanism be running.
Am I talking gibberish ? Let me […]
- It’s hard being a geek
You think being a geek is easy ? It’s not. There are things that we compulsively do that can easily burn a normal person. If you have a compulsive need to do what I am about to list here,.. then as Yoda said,.. “The force is strong on this one …”.
1. The need to […]
- Adding a Box in GWT
A few days ago ( from the writing of this entry ), I tried to search the web on how to add a box in GWT. You know, that box that nicely envelops your user interface elements. Sadly, the only relevant hit that I got was an entry in the GWT mailing list of a […]
- Trying out GWT
I won’t even begin with what GWT is. It’s clear that if you are reading this blog, then you have a faint idea what it is.
First off, a few days ago, I started experimenting with GWT, trying to fathom its mysteries, trying to make sense of this new (for me) technology that google has come […]
- What kind of a soul are you?
You Are a Seeker Soul
You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges.
You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions.
Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist.
Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!).Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others.
And your quiet […]
- The search is over
There is a song I’ve been searching for sometime now, I first heard it as the intro to Wolfgang’s Center of the Sun on their acoustica performance, it was sung by the UP ensemble,.. and wow,.. it is very beautiful. Since that time, I’ve been looking for it, wanting to know what the song […]
