Are you a Brogrammer or a Programmer?

So I was listening to Windows Weekly and heard Mary Joe Foley, from Cnet, mention the word Brogrammer. Hmmm never heard that before!

What is a Brogrammer?

A simple search sent me to the UrbanDictionary.com and according to this site, a Brogrammer is:

A programmer who breaks the usual expectations of quiet nerdiness and opts instead for the usual trappings of a frat-boy: popped collars, bad beer, and calling everybody “bro”. Despised by everyone, especially other programmers.

I continued my search, and guess what I found.. Continue reading »

I Love Slow Internet

NO I DON’T! By checking www.speedtest.net, I found that from the promised 12 Mbps internet connection, I was only getting 1.2Mbps. What should I do next?

First check with your ISP

They “found out” that I was only getting 8Mbps, Oh My, and in a matter of 2 mins, they “upgraded” me “again” to 12Mbps, that I payed for! So if I hadn’t contacted them, I would be getting much lower speeds!! At least one thing was solved. But it still wasn’t going over the 1.2Mbps mark, and sometimes it was going even lower.

Next up, the Router

I bought a Belkin Modem Router, model number: F5D8635-4v1, never had problems, at least which I noticed. Continue reading »

Published my 100th Post!!!

Just realised that I published my 100th post… which for me is a great feeling.

I started this blog almost 4 years ago (in 1 month it will be 4 years)… exactly on the 13th of October 2006. At first I wanted to create a blog just to have a blog of my own… but over time, the idea of this blog changed.

I’m a software developer and find many problems regarding development and any other apps needed for everyday use which I manage to solve (ok…. I don’t solve every problem). The ones I solve, I try to post on this blog to be of help to other people finding the same problems.

Each post is concise showing immediately what needs to be done to overcome the error so it doesn’t take up much time to solve it. Anyway, hope I helped some people during these last years.

Also thanks to the WordPress guys for developing this application thus making my blog possible, like many other people!!

Thanks for all the support I received Happy Reading my Publishings!!
