I joined Hangouts for Coders

Just about getting ready for bed, I received a little notification pop sound from my home. Reminded me about the Google Hangout for Coders at 11pm yesterday (15/06/2013). So I rushed to go online and find the way to the Google Hangout.

Thanks to +Elisha Chirchir who hosted the Google Hangout, I learnt something that I always to take a leap into.

AngularJS


Hangouts for Coders

AngularJS by Google was talked for an hour at the Hangout for Coders

I learnt the basics and its somewhat a good footing for me to explore further into AngularJS. I might have some use for it into my web project that I'm working on but we'll see. So added to my to-do list: Add CDN and add Angular.min.js. If you'd like to see the Hangout on Air video (yes, it was recorded), just click play below.

A 7-Minute Workout

I know this is an old issue and I'm sure that a lot of people out there are aware of this little short workout. I've seen the videos and honestly, I love it. Though I'm still not disciplined enough to do so. Also another thing was I keep forgetting what I should do after Wall Sitting or before doing a Push Up.

But thanks to this nifty little webapp, I don't have to forget. Or count for that matter. :)

It counts how long you should do your Jumping Jacks!

Then it counts how long you should rest in between exercise making a total of 7 minutes!

PHP Framework Exploration

After my recent attempts to just custom build a PHP application, I often wonder how people of the web tries to hack a website. It's a nightmare actually. So I scoured the hacking forums and try to find out how they find security holes in a website. And I found the document for it. Now I don't think it would be wise if I shared it to everyone so I'm gonna keep it for my security testing.

This made me realize that my PHP structure may not be at its best. Not with some sensitive contact information that people can easily sell it to and spam them. So hence, the new adventure in my web journal.

Looking at PHP Frameworks

One google search was all it took to blow me away. Finding out that there's so many PHP frameworks out there, I couldn't decide which is the best one for my side project. There's CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Zend, Symfony, etc. So much for convenience for noobs.

Then I turned to a good ol' community over at Google Plus. Posted a thread discussion:
A PHP Discussion that I posted.

The Decision

Thanks to +Klaus Thenmayer +Christian Knuth +Maroua Gasmi +Luca Palomba +Paul Grimes +nabil la  +Samantha Quinones  +Tyler Steele

I have decided that I will first venture into CodeIgniter. Then if that doesn't work, I may move to Symfony and maybe dabble in Laravel. Just for comparison and experience.

It's Adventure Time. ;)

uiFaces - Adding To My Design Mockup Tool

There were times when I needed to draft up a social community website project design but I didn't have the "people" or the avatars to populate them. And that's when uiFaces comes in.
uiFaces - Just to populate your social network or community web design mockup. Nothing else.

Status Update: Really Really Busy

I like kitties and thanks to the discovery of PlaceKitten, I know what to put in my thumbnails and design.
So its been a really long while since I last updated my blog. Simply because I hardly have time to write. And when I did have time, I don't know what to write about. So if any of you readers are wondering what's with the really long gap between this post and the previous, this is what has been done during the blog silence:
