So I’m in the BKK office this week, for some reason the /etc/network/interfaces got whacked when I plugged in my Ubuntu here yesterday, no idea why.... Read More

About two weeks ago I tried a really simple way of obfuscating email. To me as a programmer it seemed a little bit naive because this scheme can be easily decoded. But Gmail does such a nice job of getting rid of spam these days anyway, I felt like I didn’t have much to lose. ... Read More

I really like Ubuntu with apt-get and synaptic to manage and install software, the total freedom to customize and yadayada you’ve all heard it before. However, sometimes the experience is not so pleasant, crazy actually, the first incident happened in the very beginning of my Ubuntu usage about 2 years ago.

Instead I’m gonna take a practical and proactive approach.... Read More

I recently had a comment from a guy named Daniel about the code separation plugin I’m using. First I felt inclined to answer in a comment but I feel that the problem he is talking about deserves it’s own thread.... Read More

I currently work on a project that is not my own, to implement new functionality all over the place. This project is basically done in a level 2 style with a lot of static function calls. It’s totally procedural with class names to separate different areas of logic. And the SQL is there for all to see.... Read More
