This is my personal blog, wherein I muse about my experiences as a Filipino software developer. I try to discuss the code I write, when possible, as well as bits and pieces of things I’ve learned along the way, as a (for the most part) self-taught working developer who has not had a complete formal computer science education.

I also talk about how I try to balance work and life, and how I fail at adulting. Really.

I used to write a lot more when I was much younger— personal essays and blogs, short stories, etc.— so this is also a way for me to exercise those parts of my brain that have (probably) withered away.

I’ve added some minor analytics and tracking, see here for what exactly I collect (answer: not much).

Finally, (if it isn’t already apparent by this being a personal blog), views expressed here don’t reflect the views of my employer, and are solely my own.

Questions!

  • What’s with the name, Lizard’s Asylum?

    It’s a long story, tied to a handle I went by when I was younger; I’ve decided to keep it for sentimental reasons

  • Will you be updating regularly?

    Hopefully. I plan to update every Friday evenings, my local time, but as the popular aphorism goes: No plan survives first contact with the enemy. Scratch that, I’m updating every Saturday evening, to give me some breathing room Okay, Sunday it is.

  • Do you have an archive somewhere of your old blog?

    Yes. Cringe away.

  • Wait, aren’t you the child actor?

    No.
