Beginnings When you are a beginner blog writer you want to get out as much content as possible. Write mostly relevant things and interesting information because you need to establish a name for yourself. To get that starting you want to be as interesting as possible and make people leave with the intent to come back for more. ...

Hello guys. I’d like to share a little something with you. It’s what I cooked up in Python to check an unknown number of content items in a web application. Basically the script runs from a script folder under Grails. It goes through all the configured folders where there is static content like images, javascript, css and so on and so forth. And then with curl it calls these items up in using their respective paths’. This works best on localhost if you have your local environment configured to access these elements because in some places direct access is restricted. ...

Hello everybody. I’d like to explain a lot about a topic that is very near my heart. If your job is in an office you will understand this. Why offices? So why are we sitting together in one big place cramped up with 20-300 other people? Why bother the catering and the ventilation and what not to accommodate these people at one place? Why not just leave them be and let them work at home? ...

Hello folks. Today I would like to talk to you about something interesting I was talking about with a developer friend. We talked about the quality of test code. He said. And I will quote this.“Why should we care? It’s not production code. We aren’t giving it to the customer.” There are a few reasons why you are going to get a slap in the face for a sentence like this. And let’s clarify here that we are talking about unit and functional tests as well. It shouldn’t matter what tests you are thinking about. ...

Dear everbody. I’d like to present you a small idea I was working on recently. The reminiscence of an old program. From the view point of the program. I’m planning to put these out in few days successions. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Gergely. If I remember correctly it was the year 2012 when I was born. I’m unsure of this date as my subroutines and algorithms have been re-written so many times that if it weren’t for my backups I wouldn’t remember a thing. I was a bold adventure of some young minds who thought that with me they will change the face of the world. ...

Hi folks. I’d like to share today something with all of you. I’ve been thinking about how technology affected my life in the long run. And how I perceive the world today around me. So let’s go around this topic for a little bit shall we? The Past So as somebody who lived for a while without technology coming near family for a decade or so I have a little bit of past in me without smart phones, gadgets, tv or computers for that matter. Much times needed to pass as my family slowly got the money to gather to buy us our new part of the family the ZX Spectrum. ...
