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".

Restoring .dat data to MSSQL

This is just a document in case I forgot to restore data files to MSSQL. I had this problem before when a colleague gave me a .dat files to be restored to SQL server. I had a 2008 version of the server and had no trouble restoring it. The problem is, I forgot how I did it when I had a new PC and I upgraded it to 2012 SQL server. But this is a simple task (although I had a full day remembering how I did it and I had no luck finding the solution from google). First off, click restore, like so I had trouble with the database whether or not to add a new database and restore the file to it, or not. Simple answer is no need. With the next image you can see that the configuration is very simple. Just set it to device as the source and find the .mdf file. It automatically displays a suggestion for the database name and you're done. Click OK and wait a couple of minutes for SQL server to restore the data. [EDIT] In case you are restoring a backup file without an extension. You c...

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...

Setting Up IIS on a Local Network: A Developer's Journey

Today, I embarked on a mission to set up an IIS server on our local network. The primary objective? To create local network versions of our applications for testing and development purposes. Additionally, we're in the process of setting up a CI/CD server to automate our workflows. However, like many journeys, this one had its share of hurdles. The initial hiccup arose when I realized that .NET was installed before IIS, leading to compatibility issues. Despite attempting to install IIS through the control panel and tweaking .NET components, the problem persisted. "Nada." After some trial and error, a breakthrough emerged. The solution? Executing dism as an Administrator in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 directory: \> dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45 /all And just like that, the clouds parted, and the path forward became clear. With IIS up and running seamlessly, our developers rejoiced, and testing commenced with renewed vigor. H...
