trying to be street smart

Its barely 2 months since i came here to pursue my dream to be a geek and im learning things. I must admit i am not your street smart guy who knows where everything is and how to get there. I am just new to this concrete jungles of the metro . If i am in Tuguegarao , i can tour you around with no hassles . But here..forget it im as dumb as you might expect. For a newbie in the metro , i know the things i need to know to be a certified street buff , yes i need to know where are the places and how to get there. My route going to work is a boring route , one ride away if i may add. Since i got here i dont often go out and when i do i just go to SM Sta. Mesa , well its not the best SM in town but its just a tricycle away. Now to begin this stupid blog , im going to list down the routes that im learning as i grow old in this populated and polluted city.I live near Balic Balic, Sampaloc so let me start from there:

Balic Balic to Ayala (the long cut)

Take a jeepney ride to Quiapo and wait for PVP Liner bus . The bus passes through Ayala.

Balic Balic to Greenhills/Robinsons Ortigas

(2 rides)
Take a jeepney ride to Recto then wait for G Liner.

(4 rides)
Take a tricycle ride to UDMC the take a jeepney / FX ride to Cubao. From cubao , you could ride a bus to Ortigas or simply take the MRT . If you are going to GreenHills , near the Edsa-Ortigas intersection Jeepney are available for Greenhills.

Ill continue adding more routes . If you do know easy to remember routes please leave it as a comment. Thank you and see you around the metro.

Getting Started with Stateless : A Lightweight Workflow Library Alternative for .NET

Image Credit: https://www.pioneerrx.com A year ago, I was looking for a simple workflow manager for a project I was working. Its a medium sized application that involves tracking the state of assets in the system. Back in 2008, Microsoft (MS) introduced new technologies along with the release of Visual Studio 2008: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and  Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). 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 ...

How to Kill a Slow Process using DOS Batch File Script with TaskKill and TaskList

If you are still trapped in the era of batch files and command lines in Windows environment, here is something you can add to your DOS cheat codes.  Lucky for us here, we are still using DOS batch file to implement installation of some updates to our system. Here is a simple batch file script that is designed for slow systems that requires a significant amount of time to kill a particular process. The requirement is simple,  do not start any copying or moving of files until  the process ( i.e. MyProcess.exe) is totally killed by DOS. The simplest solution would be to use TASKKILL to kill the process, wait for a few seconds  then start copying/ moving of files there after. Unfortunately, while we were testing this simple step on a slow machine, DOS would take an awful lot of minutes to kill the process in question. Thus, when our delay is reached, we would encounter error on copying/moving files that is currently used by the unkilled process causing a failure on ...

The Story Behind the Name C#

I remember one time in an exam for employment , the first question was - who is the father of C#? I have been working with the language but never did I ask myself who actually started the language ( of course Mirosoft was the brainchild , right? ) . After a googling expedition I found out who was the culprit - Microsofts Anders Hejlsberg . I was not interested why it was called C# then , but opening my VS2008 today , I stumbled on one of the articles being shown at the VS2008 opening page - "Computer World: The A-Z of Programming : C#". Its an interview with Anders discussing the history and beyond of C# . Heres the cool part , the name for C# prior to its release was actually COOL (C like Object Oriented Language) . Below are some lines taken from the interview: Why was the language originally named Cool, and what promoted the change to C#? The code name was Cool, which stood for ‘C like Object Oriented Language’. We kind of liked that name: all of our files were called .coo...
