Here’s a link to a blog with a Youtube video link talking about Google’s much awaited Android – sorta like a phoneOS… But the keynote spells out more than that, and Vic Gondotra, one of Google’s VPs, does a good job of explaining things… and of where Google’s headed with the internet and with world [...]

I got a little lazy (well, a lot really… ) so i decided that i didn’t want to study Rails by reading, but by watching a video with a popcorn in hand (really hard to get good popcorn these days) searching through the web for video tutorials, I came across this set of videos from [...]

ahh… the good ol meetings… i used to think meetings kinda wanna make you feign sick and take leave… (then go and watch a movie… but that’s a different story…) We just did the Sprint Review and Retrospect meetings for one of our projects. took us about less than 2 hours… we’re a pretty small [...]

What’s Rails without Git version control right? Here’s a cheatsheet on Git by Jan Kruger from http://jan-krueger.net/git I thought I knew it all already… well… never hurts to learn… that is, until you suffer from CM (yeah, that’s cranial meltd-… i know you know it already!)

Instead of writing this Profile.find(:all).collect{ |x| x.email } I could write this using Rails’ Symbol#to_proc Profile.find(:all).collect(&:email) Nice.

Instead of writing this [sourcecode language='ruby'] Profile.find(:all).collect{ |x| x.email } [/sourcecode] I could write this using Rails’ Symbol#to_proc [sourcecode language='ruby'] Profile.find(:all).collect(&:email) [/sourcecode] Nice.

This morning while I was looking at some codes, I’ve found something interesting. When I login, I looked at the logs and I could see clearly the password that I’d just entered.

Git used to be, in my vocabulary, a word I use when I’m angry with someone. Now it’s a new word I use to keep my codes version controlled and backed up. Interesting how language can run circles around you If you don’t know what git is, here’s a detailed explanation on Wikipedia Here’s a [...]

You really know you’ve got cranial meltdown when you got that really dull throbbing at the back of your head… but peeling your eyes away from the screen is just torture – “Gotta get this thing solved by sundown!!! “&%#$(^%&*@$%$!!” – you don’t want to, no… cannot possibly, read another word of tutorials, but you [...]
