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…
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…
What can I say? It was one hell of an ending. Expected something else, but I can’t complain so much. They had to tie loose ends. Then there are those with contracts that were about to expire. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the movie despite all that drama. The exciting action sequences were all…
It is a 4-day-long weekend here in Singapore. Today and tomorrow are official public holidays as part of the 2-day Chinese New Year celebration. Well it is a new Lunar Year and what better way to start it out by re-activating this website on a new host, a new server. I have been busy lately…
en route to my destination one friday in a kinda distant past, i was rather bored with the shows that were available on the rather tiny screen in a rather smallish A320 aircraft. the seating is cramped, as what is expected of economy class flights. and if you are claustrophobic, flying this way certainly is…
by the time i was on the vessel that was to take us back to the mainland, Joey was already seated.. . quite near to where i found a place to sit down – across the aisle and a row in front of me. ********** chances. these come and go. the very same way that…
Ran into an issue in one project where I was getting an error like below: ‘/PROGRAM_NAME’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. PROGRAM_NAME could be any Windows executable or batch file that I am trying to run through the PHP passthru(), exec() or system() functions. This was…
Ever encountered an error like this one where Eclipse will not proceed to start until you choose or create another workspace? But you are sure you already have the correct workspace set in your home directory somewhere and it is writable. Well I did. But the issue came up only because I copied the workspace…
This happened to me just recently as I was trying to connect to a remote Windows server using Remmina Remote Desktop Client. I was getting an error after entering the login details, so I could not login to the remote server. I have been using this tool for a long time and it has always…
When `ssh-add` does not work as expected because a ‘Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.’ error comes out, this might help: eval `ssh-agent` There are environment variables that needs to be set and doing the command above will essentially do just that but with far lesser key strokes. It is also easier…
If you are among the countless people using Eclipse IDE as your platform for software development in Java (or other supported languages) on Ubuntu, then you may have noticed that it does not integrate at all into the global menu on Unity. Not a deal breaker actually, right. This does not even hamper you with…
The 6th installment of the very successful Humble Indie Bundle (HIB) includes the acclaimed Adventure RPG (ARPG) Torchlight. Released back in 2009, this is the first part of the franchise from Runic Games. This particular game (well actually it was Torchlight 2, the sequel) has caught my eye, and interest, for the past month since…
