Here are my thoughts at the moment: Vertigo is scary. I’m somewhat excited to learn how to program. How I dream to work in an IT related job. Study Python, then PHP and get a job as a web programmer. It won’t happen right now and that way. Do it on the side. What’ll happen: [...]
Here’s a realization. Guess who said the quote: Much is lost from indecisions rather than from bad decisions. First, think of the best possible yet attainable solution for your problem. Execute the solution. It’s better rather than doing: Chose a solution. Most people will choose the most convenient one requiring the least amount of [...]
I followed Vincent’s advice and printed two Python e-books that I’m going to read. It’s a pain I tell you. about 600+ pages on a faulty HP 930c Inkjet. It took me all morning and most of the afternoon. You should’ve seen the stack of my rejected prints. I used FinePrint BTW to print the [...]
“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” If you need some inspiration for freedom go see Cool Hand Luke. He defied conformity in a prison. Tried to escape a couple of times. What a guy. I liked it best when he befriended the inmates. He’s himself and they just adored him. He’s a guy [...]
A question I asked myself when I was still working was, "I’m working harder. Would they pay me more?" Let me put some metrics in my question. Let’s say, if I work twice as much, would they pay me twice of my current salary? Inspired by: How to Make Wealth by Paul Graham
I’ve read somewhere that simplicity is overrated. I disagree with that. It’s like saying time isn’t important because I think time is directly connected with simplicity. Time is gold, as you’ve heard it a million times. We all think it’s important. We spend it wisely, try to save some of it, try to get more [...]
I’m a mean bastard. Mom went by the room because she wanted to know if I wanted to eat dinner. She knocked only after opening the door. She knows I don’t like her doing that. I slammed my hand on the table because of it. I kind of slammed it because of frustration and I [...]
Here are a list of things that I’ll be buying once I get a job: 1. Shirts – Simple, comfy and cool ones. I’d get those 400 – 500 peso ones in Greenhills. 2. Cargo shorts – I want the one Seth wore on Superbad, the camouflage one. 3. Zen Stone – entertainment for those [...]
Last September 5 (yeah I’m about a week late), the WLW team released the last beta version before the final. So if you’re using this fabulous software like I do, go over to http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/ and download the latest beta now. On another note, whenever I pimp Microsoft products, I feel used. I feel uncool. Why [...]
It came to me. One of the reasons why it’s a little hard for me to learn to program is because I’m learning from e-books. Not that it’s not possible learning from e-books, it’s just inconvenient learning from them. My eyes hurt after reading for ours on the screen and so is my head. There’s [...]
