​THE INTERVIEWEE WHO HATED ME​

6 years ago a guy looked at me face to face, and boldly told me; "I don't like you!" I immediately fired a response, I asked him that day; "Thank you for the honest feedback, but those that you like, how has it made their life better? How does your liking people pay their bills or take a bank loan? My brother keep your like, I need God's like And that's what guarantees my future. Today I joined a CEO friend of mine in an interview Panel to recruit some new staff, it was a long session, as we returned from a coffee break to continue the hectic interview session, here was this same guy walked in with his grey jacket and CV coming for the interview. Our eyes kissed by fluke, we immediately recognised each other; "the world is indeed spherical", I soliloquized. He felt very uncomfortable through out the interview, one could clearly see the volcanic eruption ongoing in his whole nervous system, he even mistook his date of birth for his last date of empl...

Good Code

Been long since I wrote about good practices. Good development practices. If you aint doing what I'll mention here,
you need to evaluate how you do stuff. I'm not the best adviser out there, but I know what I did and turned around my productivity. The things I'll advice you to do here, are the things I used not to do, inturn spending the whole night doing almost nothing.

I mean, spending the whole night for a bug not worth it.

Will expound on each.

1. Always have a local copy

Basically, have a copy of your project in your machine. The best way to have this is to clone it in your machine if you're developing from online.
I use lamp stack, so, I have a copy at www directory, which serves as a go-to for references incase of anything, and also for adding new stuff to the project.

2. Test Environment

This is an online copy just for tests. This is important for examining how the system behaves while hosted. This copy is located at the production environment or a system with production environment settings.
Remember, set it as a sub-domain. You don't want a client's project out there before launch.
I usually push my projects to heroku, or my domain.

3. Live Environment

This is now the live copy of the system. This is where the system sits after development. This is where it's gonna be. This needs to be guarded well, secured, tested well, no downtimes and all that.

This is usually vetoed by the client. S/he is the one to say where the system is going to sit.

Your work as a developer in this phase is just to deploy the system, and/or advice the client on the best hosting environment.

4. Daemon

This is run as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user. At this point, have all logs up and running. Have a way of troubleshooting and/or backtracking errors that may arise while the system is running.

Did I say I was stuck with an issue and the person to assist me always asked me of logs? I didn't. I didn't have them. I hadn't setup any daemon service, logging and all that.

It was hard for him to help me out. I set up all this and called him. After seeing I've done that, he proposed a face-to-face meeting instead of skype calls. (guess he saw I was ready to learn)

It worked readers.

Some errors are generated from some upgrades which aren't compatible, or modules which have redundant functionalities.


With these kept in mind, you'll be a better person than you were yesterday.

Music & Earphones

Honestly, I'm losing friends...mmh, that's totally bad. I'm not saying am an Island. The point is, My friend is that one guy talking to me through my earphones, accompanied by beats and tunes. In simple terms, well-conveyed lyrics. I like these people....I have friends. One of them told me my eyes will pop-out if I listen alot using earphones. Please, if yours popped out because of earphones, let me know... It might be true. I know not. But I looked around and spotted something worth of sharing. Pop ém out!!

In your Presence Lord

haha ignore the previous 2 posts..they are empty... God's presence is so amazing, it's our source of life and this life comes with everything we require in this life. There's nothing I love more than God's presence. This one's for you My King; In your Presence Lord i choose to be present. Always basking in your glory and thanking you for my story. Never looking back but always coming back. You touch my heart so deep that i just can't help but sing...sing that i love you, that i want more of you, that i need you. Sweeping me off my feet you leave me sinking in your love so deep. Nothing going amiss, never growing weak but always seeking deep. Consumed in your presence, taken by your power that i assumed the hour. I don't wanna leave but live. In your presence i will wait never growing faint. In you am complete oh i choose to sit...to sit and wait no hurry to leap and faint.You are my Rock, my God, my All, my Fortress that i run to when hopeless. The glim...

Eulogy | How could you leave us?

I feel this.The only difference is mine is a dad, minus pills. I lost my dad. Hard to keep up  with. Thanks for a place to let it out. Hard to keep it in. Harder to tell a story. Just write down what you're thinking n feeling +Patrick   (not everything though)  Can't use a past tense..I love my dad. I told my dad I loved him once, and it felt awesome. Had never done. I've never told my mum that I love her. I think I need to. I felt so bad...I've never wanted the news bearer to be as wrong as that day. I thought of praying and raising the dead, but just couldn't do it. Science said no, God let it happen. He has reasons. Can't question. NF kinda painted it for me. Honestly, some things can't be forgotten. Can't be undone. Can't be replaced. The only thing I have are precious last moments and advices. Specifically the last thing I did is share a cup of tea in my room. If you're watching Dad, I'm not looking back. I'm matching forth...
