al2meta — Thu, 23 May 2019 04:37:24 +0000

It has been 4 days since Game of Throne’s final episode came out on HBO and perhaps one of the million dollar questions in the finale was why didn’t Drogon kill Jon Snow for assassinating Daenerys, he’s beloved mother? Well, there are numerous theories surrounding the incident, but of course, all of these can be …

Working on my old Astral Meta Website

al2meta — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 06:24:35 +0000

Astralmeta.com is an old website I created way back in 2013. See the screenshot above (courtesy of Archive.org’s Wayback Machine). It started as blogspot site (called blog sites back in the days), which was eventually transferred to a hosting service running on a WordPress-powered website. Back then, I don’t know any programming. I was merely …

Starting Java Lessons

al2meta — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 03:17:28 +0000

Sometimes, I don’t understand myself nor do I know what I really wanted. Though it may sound crazy, I seem to be not contented with learning just one or two program languages. I want to learn them all. So far, I got some huge PHP experience with my recent job-related projects as a Junior PHP …

Working on a WordPress Theme for E & E Professionals

Life has been nothing but busy lately, but I thought of it as a better way to keep my mind away from things that keeps me stressed (ie. Negativity, Harsh Reality, and Idiots). Recently, I got into a side project wherein I have to design a website. This website is for E & E Professionals, …

Xoom got duped!

al2meta — Sat, 17 Nov 2018 23:35:35 +0000

Xoom sends money to your recipient first before they charge you, and makes sure they have completed the transaction as stated here. This is a really pretty neat offer, but before that transaction is even processed, of course, they have to first electronically verify your bank account and your information as a precaution to protect …

Who is Anonymous’ leader?

al2meta — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 08:26:13 +0000

Perhaps, this has been asked time and again. The hacktivist group whose members hide behind Guy Fawkes masks have always been shrouded in mystery. Nobody knows who they are, they have no names, they are usually hidden behind proxy IPs, their location — everywhere! They can be in Jersey City and the next thing you …

An update in the life of a developer

al2meta — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 08:19:30 +0000

We’ve gone through thick and thin, but so far, we’ve managed to pull it though. In life, I’ve lost some friends, and some people who were dear to me, but gained some new ones. I guess that’s life. We lost some, we get some. That makes it dynamic. As far as job is concerned, it …

Drafted into Junior PHP Developer

al2meta — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 08:13:40 +0000

Finally got a part of my dream… to become a developer. This is something I can be proud of considering I didn’t really graduated Computer Science. I was an RN, a registered nurse in my home country, although before that I did study ComSci. It’s just that back at that time, I didn’t took it …

Moneygram Scammer

al2meta — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 04:59:10 +0000

Just recently, I received an email from someone who claimed he was associated with Moneygram, but thank god, we have Gmail. Google’s email service is equipped with a powerful spam detection program that is capable of learning and noting patterns used by scammers to scam people. With its smart detection function, it was able to …

PHP threw a weird T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM token

al2meta — Sun, 26 Aug 2018 06:28:39 +0000

While working on a Scientific Calculator PHP code recently, I accidentally stumbled on some weird sh*t. This is the first time I encountered a strange error message. The token says T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM. I was like… the hell is that? PHP did, however, try to give you an idea of what this error message is all about …

Learning how to use PHP to connect and manipulate MySQL Database

al2meta — Sat, 11 Aug 2018 19:41:12 +0000

Sadly, my study has stalled for awhile as it was spent on Game Designing that SMBX game I created for the kids. Anyway, going back to studying, so far I have learned how to create an IV Drip Rate Calculator, a multiplication table using for loop, solve project Euler’s first easy question, use PHP to …

For the past several days, I’ve been working on a game designing side project, supposedly made for two special kids. It’s a Super Mario game, an episode for Super Mario Bros X, a Super Mario Game Engine made by fans that allows you to make a custom Super Mario side-scrolling game. Think of it as …

A Challenge from Project Euler (Question no. 1)

al2meta — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 08:26:16 +0000

Late Post! But this is really something worth adding into the blog. About 2 weeks ago, I met a developer who introduces me to Project Euler, a website that has some really difficult mathematical problems that’s bound to test not only your math skills but your programming skills as well. He challenges me to answer …

Project Euler: A good site to test your programming skills

al2meta — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 07:15:11 +0000

Just today, I talk with a programmer friend of mine at lunch time. He asked about how my programming study was going. I told him I was doing well, I am now starting to study databases and how PHP could access it, add entries into it, or modify its records. I also told him that …

Working on a Background Color and Text Color Switching Project

Hey guys, noob here… ok, so I manage to make some nursing calculators in the last few days, but we all know those are basic stuff kids in high school have probably already been doing so I stepped up my self-study and training class up a bit to something a little more complicated. In project …

Reflecting on some recent events (more like ramblings…)

al2meta — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 04:03:12 +0000

Life has been rough so far… a lot of unfortunate things happen that it’s enough to drive a sane man into insanity… well, to name a few, you get scolded by your boss for failing his expectations, you lost your wife to some jackass who isn’t contented with his own wife and goes on screwing …

Project IV Drip Rate Calculator

al2meta — Wed, 30 May 2018 08:36:43 +0000

So a few days ago, I started studying PHP, and now, this is how far I’ve come. Well, not quite in the developer level yet, but I can definitely say we’re making some progress. So what exactly I am building here? Well, it’s a calculator for nursing students to help them get the IV Drip …

Starting to learn PHP

al2meta — Tue, 22 May 2018 07:49:39 +0000

Yeah I know… when it comes to developing I’m still a baby so here I am, I’m going to cry about how difficult programming can be… well, for noobs at least. Just a month ago I planned to self-study on a programming language and at that time, with so many programming languages out there, I …
