Really like what Fabien expressed here: Is Symfony2 an MVC framework? If you look around, every single framework seems to implement the MVC pattern. I really don’t care whether Symfony2 is MVC or not. Probably because the MVC word is so overloaded and because nobody implements exactly the same MVC pattern anyway. The separation of ...
Symfony2 is hard. But not simply because it is doing things so differently, rather, it depends on so many packages. While there are certainly a lot of resources online, many can be considered outdated. This recalls a discussion I had with U-Zyn of gladlyCode on the trends on PHP frameworks. We concluded that Symfony has ...

Composer is probably a bad name for a package manager in the sense where it is hard to research online by searching on the keyword ‘composer̵ 7; without receiving Beethoven as part of results. The composer I am referring to is this. Composer is a package manager tracking local dependencies of your projects and libraries. Composer ...
I just got Fitbit. Got it fulfilled through Amazon from US. Fitbit is manufactured in Singapore but I cannot get it here. Will update more on how it works. It’s pretty cool so far.
OCBC manages to make banking more user friendly. It has a very Web 2.0 feel. The redesign is risky yet commendable. I love that they focus on several banking components only; it makes banking seem like intimidating.

The past 5 years I have been greeted with the thought of having to get a bigger wardrobe every time I look at my wardrobe. I have been stressing over and over that I needed a need wardrobe to many. It just occurred to me one day, a fine 16 May 2012, that I should ...
I doubt I will have time to put up what happened in Taiwan as much as I would like to. There’s just too much commitment here. I do miss writing personal experiences, though. I might be getting more boring as I grow older. The Taiwan trip has been great, filled with experiences I can never ...
Lots of dog owners in Ximending. This dog is under the care of an organization that takes cares of animals that encountered an accident. There is a volunteer that is there to gather funds in aid of this organization. The kind people were more than happy to let me have pictures taken.
There’re times when I need to quickly search through occurrences of certain phrases in my PHP source files. Here is when I have to search for ‘giraffes̵ 7;. This is an example finding the word ‘giraffes̵ 7; in all PHP source files from the current directory recursively. find . -name "*.php" -exec grep -i -H -n "giraffes" ...
I just returned from Bangkok not long ago. It was a good trip. And now I’m going to Taipei. It’s okay to be envious, even I am envious of myself. I know however that it’s probably the only time I can go for two holidays in one month. My excuse is I didn’t take much ...
During casual introductions, it perhaps isn’t particularly good to tell others what you do. I find that introducing myself as a web developer to friends of friends just kind of kills it all. Not because web developers are such nasty people — quite the opposite, most are nice — but that there’s a deep stereotype ...

On the increasing usual of improper English, Joan Acocella of The New Yorker notes: English is a melding of the languages of the many different peoples who have lived in Britain; it has also changed through commerce and conquest. English has always been a ragbag, and that encouraged further permissiveness. In the past half century ...
Well here it is, my typical .gitignore file for every project. This doesn’t change much.

The reality with most projects is I typically work with origin master only. Only 10% of my projects is doing actual branching. (Yea, there probably should be an improvement on that figure.) Here’s how to merge origin master by default. git config branch.master.remote origin git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master You never have to see the following ...
