  • As my Blogger account has been gathering dust, I've decided to republish and restart a blog I put up before: Metro, A Personal Narrative of Metro Manila.

  • Angsty, ain't it?

    Love the weather. Fits my mood (more or less).

  • Cut With The Grain

    I've been recently tasked to design part of an accounting system for one of our clients. Implementation-wise, I'm working with the Microsoft .NET framework (C# being the preferred language) using ASP.NET.

  • Meme: I've never ...

    Bored, so decided to do a meme. Ignore, if you want to.

  • Question: Say you had the following tables:

  • No Subject

    As I type this on my phone, I’m on my way home from work. I am honestly tired. I am also a bit melancholy. For one reason or another, i get bouts of sadness. More when i get home.

  • I can't help it... I must post this link (and because I have a lot of better things to do...): Structured Procrastination.

  • Hibernate anecdote

    On one project I was assigned to recently, I used Hibernate to manage data access. I even explained the whole deal to my technical manager and my project manager— with some level of excitement. (Okay, maybe with a lot of excitement— think a kid in a candy store).

  • CSS is the way to go

    Was showing a cow orker some nifty CSS stuff yesterday. In fact, I was practically gushing over the subject. In particular, I was gushing over this site and the fact that all the designs are CSS-based, and are using the same HTML content.

    I then realized that a lot of mainstream sites are still not completely CSSified. The company I'm working in isn't using CSS extensively for site design; we currently don't have the right skillset for CSS design. It pains me that there's a lot that can be accomplished with CSS (accessibility out of the box, leaner pages, easier to maintain site design, separation of concerns), but we're not taking advantage of it. All we're doing with CSS is specifying font size and colors. Bah.

    It also makes me wonder— are most web development firms, at least locally, not CSS-ready? Is there a lack of CSS designers and professionals?

    Bah. I'll stick to coding Java.
