Good Coders Code, Great Coders Reuse

Not sure where the saying "good coders code, great coders reuse" came from but I sure been doing a lot of copy-pasting throughout my 4+ year career. Web apps, mobile, games, blogger code, etc. All stuff that I've been doing, I've always...

Revisiting my fundamentals... Creating a new directory in cmd

I was setting up my workspace today and noticed that my wrist was hurting. Sometimes, we just so forget to get back to our fundamentals and leaves us stressed. We don't always realize that they could make our job easier. So I was creating the directory...

Getting FLEXible

Bored. That's the best way to describe my feelings right now. I've had a chat with my "sensei" this morning and he told me that he noticed my lack of enthusiasm. I agree with him, it's been sometime since I've felt very anthusiastic...

It's Been a while...

It's been a while... I haven't written anything good lately (not that I wrote anything good at all hehehe)... I rarely touch my computer, I'm just into playing my PSP. I'm not working on my game either, though I've been taking a look...

My PL/SQL Experience

I've been doing quite a lot of PL/SQL lately. It's funny because I was able to utilize the stored procedures more in Oracle although the product I was able to code my first stored procedure in was SQL Server 2000. Not that I did not do any stored...

EJB and Java EE Design Patterns

I'm still not doing much here in my new job. There's still a lot of things to be set up. I finally got to meet with our very own Nards (N.Ocampo). Aside from that, I've been reading on Java Enterprise Design Patterns for the past one week...

First day at work... Again...

It's my first day of work again. I've done nothing so far but to read through the employee manual which was quite lengthy. It's my first time to work on a big company so some things are still foreign to me. I'm also a little intimidated...

It's only been two days passed but I already feel bored. My final pay is on-hold until next month and I don't really have anything to spend my time with but my books, laptop and PSP. But I don't want those right now.. I'm still stuck on...

I need a new machine...

It's so hard to learn new technologies in such a low-end machine. I have 512 MB of RAM in my laptop of 1.8Ghz clock speed, 32MB of which is for the on-board video card. It uses about 350MB upon startup running Avas antivirus and who knows what else...

Just when you least expect things...

I posted before how I failed to answer some basic questions about SQL in one of my interviews. I thought I would never hear from them again. But then, just today someone called me and informed me and brought the good news. :) I'm in the middle of...

Don't think of unfinished projects as a failure

I was on my way to a PinoyJUG seminar and I was waiting for a friend in Eastwood, Libis. While waiting for him, I decided to visit the bookstore and look for some Computer-related books. Being unable to find one, I found myself browsing through management...

Database Execution Plan and Database Indexing - Two things your mama probably didn't tell you

I'm getting better with M$ Excel

It's a really funny realization. As I mature in my career I'm also getting better with M$ Excel. I'm telling myself I couldn't have known that feature/technique if I didn't see that from my officemate! It's so hilarious. I should...
