Freelance Programming Challenge

January 9, 2007 by carlosonweb 6 Comments

The early years of my freelance programming journey was very tough for me personally not because I can’t find clients or projects to do, but due to the general perceptions people have on what I am doing. My relatives, friends, and former co-workers think I am crazy. Well, I guess I am.

If you are a freelance programmer in the Philippines, I’m sure you also share the following external factors that have become the greatest conceptual enemies I have faced.

Being Disconnected
Every time I meet a former co-worker or an old classmate, the first thing that gets asked after the usual “How are you?” is “Where are you connected?” Now, depending on his background or the last time you saw each other, that question can be very difficult to answer. I can either be honest and admit being a freelance programmer, or joke on my reply by saying I am currently “disconnected.”

A Different Kind of Christmas in Davao

December 22, 2006 by carlosonweb 1 Comment

The Christmas Season holds a special place in the hearts of the Filipinos; the Philippines being a predominantly Christian country. They Philippines is considered to have longest Christmas celebration that lasts for more than 30 days! Here, Christmas is celebrated with the different sounds of fire-crackers, never-ending parties, drinking seasons with friends and attending an early-dawn mass know as the “simbang gabi.”

Such is true for the rest of the places in the Philippines, except in Davao City.

Why PHP and MySQL

December 21, 2006 by carlosonweb 2 Comments

Web Developers have tons of server-side scripting tools to choose from. Basically, these tools can be grouped into three major categories: a) Microsoft-based, b) Java-based, and c) LAMP-based (LAMP has come to mean Linux, Apache, PHP, Perl and Python.) Anyone wanting to develop a web-based application eventually has to decide which camp he should jump.

My Personal Stuff

December 19, 2006 by carlosonweb 2 Comments

Call it a personal journal or a diary, but with a little twist. In this Blog Category, I will be expressing my personal views and opinion on various topics and issues that interest me. I will be sharing my thoughts on Politics, Science, Religion, Travel, etc.I could have named this Category as Miscellaneous, Uncategorized, or anything, but naming it Personal seems to fit.

This section is really intended for my personal use. This should be the last section to browse (and only if there is nothing more to browse) since this is the only category that has nothing to do with technical work whatsoever.

You don’t have to agree with the things I write here. As a matter of fact, you should feel free to disagree with me and write your opposing opinions using the comment form provided next to each post.

AJAX Misused

December 16, 2006 by carlosonweb 3 Comments

I was approached by a friend who was so proud to announce that they use a lot of AJAX in their projects and asked if I ever tried a single AJAX Code. “Do you know AJAX?”, he asked.

“Well, I don’t need AJAX in any of my applications.”, I said matter of factly, implicitly suggesting my little knowledge on the subject . “Tell me what do you use AJAX for?”

Playing Yoyo with WordPress

December 14, 2006 by carlosonweb Leave a Comment

If you have been visiting this website for some time now, perhaps you will notice the crazy changes I have introduced.

At first there was WordPress running the entire site. I was really pissed off with the spams I receive everyday coming from this website. So I decided to remove WordPress. The funny thing is my other sites run WordPress on their blog sections allowing me to post my articles easily. It was really a snap using WordPress.
