The Struggle Is Rails

Late last year, I’ve decided to put “Learn A New Language” in my goals for 2014. I thought I had all the confidence to do it– to take another step towards improving my programming skills tremendously, and learn another language. My officemates know Rails (Ruby) and I can easily ask them whenever they’re free. One…

Pi Day 2014

Pi Day is celebrated every 14th of March because it is a math constant whose basic approximation is 3.14. March = 3, day = 14 During our early years, we learned about pi from our geometry class. But π has a lot more to offer than that! One interesting thing about it is the fact…

WP Dev’t Motivation

So I came across this awesome presentation called Strategy for a successful WordPress project by Wes Chyrchel.

The presentation gave great simple tips…

Challenge Accepted

I’ve seen a couple of Adventure Time episodes and I think I may need to use one of Jake’s famous quotes there. Dude, suckin’ at something is the first step to being sorta good at something. The dog has sense. So it was my first day today in my new work. It was okay 🙂…
