Yet Another Template

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

It seems that there’s no workaround to removing the advertising link to the previous template I’m using so I took it out and switched to this one.

See, the sidebar items are draggable!

I think I’d be sticking to this template for a very long time. Much respect to the people at N.Design Studios for putting up a template with the same licensing as my previous template but not requiring those who use it to advertise any other site.

You can check out their site from the link above and see other splendid-looking templates.

Template Blues

Monday, May 14th, 2007

I found this at the footer.php of the current theme I’m using:

<?php
//This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License,
//which means that you CAN'T remove My Links that is www.enblogopedia.com and original designer link!
//and My sponsor links, that is the bottom line (Website Hosting, DNS, Internet Marketing links!)
?>

Now this is a dilemma for me. I respect the original author of the template, but honestly I felt like being cheated with not being able to remove the advertisement links.

I’m trying to find a way to remove the links without violating the license. If there isn’t any, with much regret I have to change the look of the site once again.

Software Development HOWTO — Part 2

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

This is the second part of a mini-series I have introduced in this blog.

In the previous part, I discussed that knowing what to do is a very important task in software development. Assuming that you have already done the previous step, we will now talk about sizing the target down to manageable parts.

Software Development HOWTO — Part 1

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Welcome to the Software Development Series!

In this series we will be tackling what every developer does — create programs of course! In my experience working as one, I have come through so many ways of developing software that one seems to give the best quality.

Steps in developing software:

  1. Know what needs to be done
  2. Break your target into several units
  3. Determine how each unit will be done
  4. Implement each unit
  5. Test each unit’s implementation
  6. Test how the units would work with each other
  7. Test the target as a whole

Today we will be tackling on the first — and most important step.

A Series is Coming

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

In the following days I will be tackling on a subject relevant to what I do on a day-to-day basis — software development. It will be a seven-part series where I will talk about the steps necessary to ensure that a software project is accomplished in an orderly or systematic way. I hope this would interest a lot of readers, and I hope this can add to the knowledge of would-be software developers.

I think it’s time to share some of what I have experienced in my 10 years of being in the Information Technology industry. Much like some mentors have done with me while I was still new to the job, so will I be doing here.

Keep on visiting this site, and post reactions where you feel that you have something to contribute to the discussion.
