Picking up a new stroller for Jace ain't easy. Jace is getting heavier and longer. We tried a few times to drop the idea of not having a stroller but it seems we still could not do without it. We also attended Darius Birthday Party on a Sunday at same time Taal Volcano exploded that afternoon.
This weeks' news about the Taal Volcano eruption is endless. The damage reached Laguna, Cavite and Batangas. Our country despite having a lot of disasters, still couldn't sort things out properly. Problems and practise makes you prepared, but for the Philippines it makes people complacent and indifferent.
Baby Fair - Jace's New Stroller
A new and bigger stroller for Jace...
It has been a long time since Kat and I went to a baby fair singapore babyfair mummysmarket. Obviously we don't have a next baby, we drop by to get a new bigger stroller for Jace. It took us a few round choosing from Graco, Chicco and Joie. The criteria is light, bigger support capacity, longer length and price. After considering all the options we ended up buying Chicco Key Fit 30, Trio Stroller.
The Chicco Key Fit basically can carry upto 24kg by specs but can strech for +10-15kg more, the hieght fits well for a 7 years old kids. Stroller alone is around 9kg, not the lightest but we just can't have it all. Wheels are quite good and feels light. Center of weight is good and has 4 milk or drink holders.
Darius 7th Birthday
Cyrus eldest kid, Darius 7th Birthday...
It was a kids party with a limited invited guest. Joyce enjoyed the Birthday Party with Tony the Clown and his games and antics. It was a breezed weekend, the party was on a Sunday night.
Taal Volcano Eruption
The eruption that cripped the immediate south of Metro Manila...
My personal take on this one concerns my family, hopefully the eruption wouldn't reach Manila badly. I have always reminded them to take pre-caution but sometime my family is really terrible in preparing and addressing worst case scenarios. The details of the eruption is everywhere and no need for me to put it in detail. One ca refer to the CNN pages.
Oracle Cache Nodes
Oracle sequence caching in the multiple nodes...
This week I was a victim of an old grumpy dba for my database node sequence ingnorance. I don't feel bad about his scolding it is just that he didn't handle stress quite well. I really feel bad for him for having such a bad mood on suchc age. I just thought he have a bad knee and is really painful for him to drop by our data center. To share note my ignorance I just tag a stackover flow note Oracle RAC and Sequences. Normally table data values should be the same between different nodes in a databases, except for sequence tables. No node can have the same sequence value if we define a sequence cache.
Tech Lead: Things to be Aware Before Getting into Software Developemnt
Like most crazy youtubers, tech lead vlogs are both hilarious, entertaining, sarcastic and technical...
Very often people asked me the same question, can anyone become a software developer by sheer effort. Something like can anyone become a decent entry level craftsman, graphic artist, factory worker orbhelper to get a decent job. Well I say yeah, sure if you try hard enough you can definitely get a software development job. The learning curve might be steep, but with effort you can definitely cross that mountain. The real question is are people willing to cross that mountain?
Excude professions that requires high gene physical requirement and professions that require steep family connection. One can a software engineer with effort and practise. If you really want to be a dev, it is not impossible to be one and the resources in the internet is so large. The industry has a lot of niches and quirks, that one can easily queeze in the market.
