Working towards serendipity
Nothing’s left to chance, nothing. Karma is in your face, right there, each time. And luck is what you make it. Blah blah. Life sucks, as amazing as it is. Things don’t just happen. We make it happen. Ironically perhaps, we’re working towards our serendipity. But .. shouldn’t we? tl;dr We should. Negativity is there […]

Use a SIM PIN
The more I help people who have questions or issues with their iPhone or iPad with cellular option. The more I learn that they do not have a PIN set on their SIM. Which is a concern to me. tl;dr This blog post is about asking you to consider adding a PIN code to your […]

April Fools’ Day
For me personally, today marks the Spring season. It closes the door to the first few months of the year, the first season. I have been working hard to make this year a lot easier and better for me than 2015. So it’s important for me that I go to this point and feeling like […]

Browsing in Incognito Mode
Who are YOU? Why are you HERE? Can you STORE this temporary data for me so I can track you? Can you tell me more about how you surf the net? Why not? Is that creepy? Well.. you’re telling everybody else. Why not me? I want to know if you’re a hot 25 year old […]

Block third-party cookies
It is still beyond me why browsers have the setting to allow all data and any cookie from any site, current, deep-linked, etc. If it was up to me, it is the current site and domain under signed certificate. So when you go to Facebook.com you don’t get a bit fake anti-virus popup and super […]

Meh, emotions!
Life is a little unfair at times. Best intentions, hope, trust, or emotions. They tend to play tricks on you. It seems the more one cares for the other – a friendship, relationship, just a family member – the more these negative feelings can pile up, cause friction, and eventually hurt each other. Kind of […]

iPad sizes
Yesterday I talked about the Apple Keynote where they introduced new iPhones, iPads, and gave us the update to the iOS 9.3 release for old and new devices. The focus was on the iPhone, but I also have something to say about the iPads. Thanks for reading along with my thoughts about it. tl;dr The […]

iPhone sizes
My gamble has paid off. I wanted a bigger screen, a fast phone to last me some years, and modern tech to make it fun to use apps now and in a couple of years from now. The 6 was already on sale, but I was on the 5s. I could have waited for the […]

MySQL maintenance with phpMyAdmin
Anybody with a website that uses a database to store data has to do a little bit of maintenance once a month or so. The frequency depends on how busy the site is and how much is being written/pruned from the database. I use mainly MySQL. Using phpMyAdmin this is quite easy to do. You […]

Source code rewrites
As I mentioned yesterday, today is about website maintenance. Nothing much to report, so again, a short blog post. Optimise and repair on the databases, offsite backups, and a small version update because of code rewrites. Some of the functions were improved in preparation for a bigger source code update in the future. Boring and […]

Thanks for understanding. Yesterday was personal maintenance, today it is apartment maintenance, tomorrow it will be website […]
