Reasons why you don't apply to some Companies

Just a note, this is just a joke. So for some companies, I would ask you to evaluate me first not base your judgement for hiring me in this post. :)

Recently, I planned on getting another job. This time with programming languages I'm not familiar with. Just to get my hands on. Something like Python or Ruby, or JS and NoSQL. You know what I mean.

Then came, job posts at some Ads. Recruiters really think they are smart. They're not even reviewing what they're posting and not getting consultation from experts offering a job. For example

  • SEO Experts (20k to 30k)

with

  • GREAT “DAYTIME” CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
  • A NEW COMPANY soon to expand OPERATIONS in CEBU!!!

I'm sure 30k is not that great. And what's with the DAYTIME? Also

  • Perfect Worklife Balance: “Daytime Work” and Guaranteed 5 day work week only
  • Easy to Manage Accounts
  • Excellent Compensation based on expertise, we are only looking for top talent and pay accordingly
  • Performance and Attendance bonuses, Leave Benefits (Cash Convertible), HMO, Educational Assistance, Meals, etc.
  • Fast Regularization of Employment Status (3 months Proba only)
  • Friday Night Gimmicks
  • Free “Starbucks Coffee Coupon for Two” hiring bonus
  • Nice and fun work environment and work culture

Well they have a nice work environment. That's good but Night Gimmicks? And Starbucks? What the hell.

Another company is hiring PHP Developers. Check this out.

  • Senior PHP Developers ( Object-Oriented PHP )

We'll yeah, PHP supports object-oriented programming. That's good. They require extensive of most stuff. PHP, MySQL but basic on SQL.

Requirements :
  • Web Application Development Experience
  • 3+ Years of Relevant Work Experience
  • Extensive experience with in Object-Oriented PHP
  • Extensive experience with MySQL database programming and optimization
  • Strong knowledge on CSS, HTML, and Java Script
  • Basic knowledge on SQL

Extensive of MySQL but basic knowledge of SQL. Now that's contradiction. Also they prefer

  • Symphony Frame Work is a Plus
  • JQuery knowledge is a plus

It's Symfony and it's Framework not "Frame" and "Work".

Theory of the Genesis of Bam-e

Well, I was pondering of things today. I mean no things? Like nothing? Can't mine like shit, electricity is down almost every 2 hours so I was wondering to myself... How the hell the name "Bam-e" came to be? As a programmer I need to know the origin of it. Like learning new techniques in programming. I need to dissect things. First off, maybe it's a Tagalog term. I think so. And yeah I found it, or did I. I thought the story goes like this. Someone named Dave came to visit Bam. Here it goes... Dave: Hi, Bam ano yang ginawa mo? Bam: Nagluluto Dave: Yay, maganda yan! Masarap ba yan? Bam: Ah wala, hinalo ko lang ang mga natirang ingredients Dave: Ano name nyan? Bam: Hindi ako sure eh! Dave: Patingin nga? Bam: Sure Dave: Pancit lang naman yan Bam eh! Well, if you don't know tagalog. I'm sorry, I'm not the person to talk to. I'm Bisaya and I'm very bad at tutoring Filipino. The hell, I got 79% when I was in high school. I hate the God ...

Elementary Tweaks

Well, I like smaller fonts and I've tried Elementary OS Luna. I like it and I'm searching a way to make the default fonts smaller. Just so I have more spaces to work on, especially when I code and read. Luckily I found a solution to download the tweak and make the fonts/icons custom sizes in Elementary Luna. This is how I did it. Hope you guys find it useful. Run this in your terminal. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:versable/elementary-update sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install elementary-tweaks And if anyone is interested in my setting, here's my screenshot. You can find it in System Settings/Tweaks btw. Thanks everyone!

Python Hydrology

Recently I'm learning Python and encountered the Hydrology book. Had to upgrade some of python packages and some libraries needed to get working with the book. There is an instruction though about mostly using pip install packages need for the book. The problem is I can't get it work. It's missing some things so I did a little google and hopefully this is a compilation of the things I need to work with the examples of the book. First off, I updated the apt-get $ sudo apt-get update Next is I installed the pip package manager. I'm not too sure but I have Ubuntu 10 and it doesn't have the pip installed. So I installed using the command below. $ sudo apt-get install python-pip Now the development packages for python. $ sudo apt-get install python-dev Most of the examples uses the scientific number packages so I installed numpy and other packages I'm not quite aware of. It's just that some of the examples probably in the later part of the book use...
