Have you ever been lost in the concrete jungle of Metro Manila ? I have to admit, I was lost many times and I have written some post on how to get to particular places in the past. Unfortunately, I don’t really travel around that much to be an expert. Good thing, some one decided to put his street smart direction-junkie self into writing.  The site is simply named “Directions On Web : Commute Fast and Drive Smart in Metro Manila”.

The site contains vast amount of driving directions as well as commuting directions that will definitely help any lost soul. Alternate routes are listed as well. Some may be outdated, just be responsible enough to verify if the roads mentioned are still accessible and passable if you are driving. Commuters need not to worry, just ask around if you got lost following the direction. My technique: If I know a way to go to EDSA or Quiapo, there’s a great chance that I will find my way :-)

Here is the link to the site : Directions On Web.  Be safe and drive safely.

Having worked in a company utilizing mostly MS products for development, my first option was to go with WF. After doing some time reading and studying the library, I paused and decided it was too complex for my requirement. Using WF would be an overkill and the fact that it has, a rather, steep learning curve, there has to be another option. My mind toyed with the idea of developing a simple workflow library myself. It would be a learning experience but it might end up consuming a lot of time. Why reinvent the wheel? So I started querying the ...

Hiding Unwanted Python Folders and Files in Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a universal editor and pretty good at it. However, the explorer view maybe cluttered with the automatically generated folders and files confusing developers. Python is no different. Below are example files and folders generated by Python. The __pycache__ folder and *.pyc files  are totally unnecessary to the developer. To hide these files from the explorer view, we need to edit the settings.json for VSCode. Add the folder and the files as shown below: Copy and paste the lines below : "**/*.pyc" : { "when" : "$(basename).py" }, "**/__pycache__" : true

Cyber-bullying : The "good", the bad and the ugly

Image courtesy of http://www.digitalesq.com/ Cyber-bullying is defined as  the willful and repeated use of cell phones, computers, and other electronic communication devices to harass and threaten others. With the advent of social media, the incidents has increased in numbers and the victims does not even know what is hitting them. For the past years, we have heard of  depressions and deaths because of this. Yet, there has never been a strong drive to increase public awareness and promote support groups to help victims outside of the schools.  Campaigns and programs has never gained mainstream presence enough to make an impact.
