What is with this Hello World? A lot of people are probably wondering why a fresh WordPress install always comes with the familiar Hello World! post. For the non-techies, non-programmers and ...
Been working from home for over 2 months now. I think that’s going to be 3 soon. This is what it looks like. It is kind of a mess. Cables all over. A few rebellious toys are squatting on my work area. If you look closely, there is a coffee bean grinder behind fat Iron...
Have used FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) in other projects before. It really makes a whole lot of difference in page loading time. I don’t know why this has not become the default since PHP is literally everywhere and conventional PHP implementations are slow-ish. Also, it is not that complicated to set up. Of course, I...
For the longest time I did not do anything to improve my websites’ loading time. Well that changed the other day. I forced myself to do it. Partially that is. I have not done much to change the settings on the configuration files of Apache2, MySQL and PHP. If I remember correctly, I have done...
These are the things that I did to upgrade my AWS EC2 server. Not exactly the instance but the software that is running on it. I am jotting this down since I might have a use for it some time later. Perhaps somebody in a similar situation as I am will find it useful too....
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, here is a whole bunch of them. Should be a few thousands in value then? During the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) here in Metro Manila, I had no choice but to do some home cooking and some not. I have to survive and I didn’t...
I am gonna preface this post with a statement (before going on about why I want to try ChromeOS) – Neverware’s CloudReady OVA image does not work on Windows. It does not work on Linux as well, but this is to be expected. The weird thing is that I get the exact same error message...
Make Your Own Drink At Home: Quarantine Drinks Series Nothing to do at home during the lockdown? Bored to death already? Well don’t let that cabin fever get ya! Do something fun and tasty. If you miss drinking all those sweet, creamy and/or cheesy drinks that you used to chug down day in and day...
Razer. For gamers this brand is synonymous to expensive and sexy and cool. I probably could not afford any of their gaming laptops or desktops. I mean I could save up for it but I guess it won’t be practical for the kind of games that I play. But, oh boy, would I love to...
Is it just me, or is the Reopen Closed Tab functionality that the Google Chrome browser once had among its plethora of features already gone? In case you are not familiar or not following what feature this is I am talking about, it is that option when right clicking on any open tab that lets...
Someone once Googled – “When is the best time of the day to visit Shilin Market?” – only to realize later on that it is a `night market`. That was me. When I was doing my research on the popular local attractions of Taipei, Taiwan. I have always heard my former work colleagues in Singapore...
It is already the middle of March 2020. Almost a quarter of the year has already gone by. Not too long ago we were just celebrating the new year. Like it was only a few days ago. How fast time flies. Really. No matter how many times I say that, it still leaves me with...
