I recently started exploring Django and Flask to determine if I could migrate my application to these frameworks. However, as I hadn't coded in Python in a while, I decided to create a small program to refresh my skills.

Nhymbe Experience
My wife was browsing the web and was complaining about Ads taking over web pages ruining the experience. All she wanted was to read the blog and Ads just keep popping up and she will need to scroll down so many times.
This made me think about Nhymbe. I recently enabled Auto ads without looking into how it would affect user experience. The Auto Ads in Google Adsense make it easy to set up ads on your website. The downside if you don’t set it up is a not-so-good user experience just like what my wife pointed out when browsing another website.
I hope that after making changes to the settings, the user experience of guests is better and doesn’t get in the way of getting the information they need.
Laravel Notes
These are my notes as I am learning Laravel. Its gets overwhelming looking at the documentation and tutorials so I made this post.
Web Development – My Beginning
In 2005, I started working on a web application project for work, to replace an Access database that hosts information of individuals we care for in our organization. At that time, the database was maintained by two employees, who are in-charge of data entry and printing of report for different departments. However, the demand to add more tables and access to the database by various employees grew. We needed to find a better way to manage our information, which led me to start the web application project.
I wasn’t really a web developer but had enough knowledge to build something basic, that is good enough for what we need at that time. I’ve looked at different programming language to build this project and settled with ColdFusion. It was introduced to me by a friend who was a web developer. ColdFusion was easy to learn and is truly for rapid development. Within 3 months time, I was able to build the application and was able to convince our CEO to buy a standard license with the help of our Medical Records Director and Chief Nursing Officer.
The application was able to resolve the issues we were having and was able to help our organization to manage data that we collect and process. This was how I started and got into web development and really got interested in learning more.
WP Customize and Live Preview Not Working.
I finally got the chance to work on a WordPress project today. Aside from doing routine maintenance, one of my goal for the day is to look for a theme that I can start with, to bring a new look to the site. I saw a new theme released by WordPress and wanted to see how it would look like using this theme. Downloaded the theme, and clicked on customize and live preview wasn’t working. Read more
