Code Practice

9 March 2018

Recently, at work, I have been participating in a big feature project; and halfway through, after the UIs were implemented, I swapped place with a colleague (i.e. his part become mine, and mine become his). Man, it was really hard to complete the rest of the code using his. It’s just that his style of code writing is so much different from mine. …

Radio

14 February 2018

I have an obsession with radio, especially BBC Radio 1.

I’ve started listening to BBC Radio 1 since 2011. I’m listening from UTC+7 and UTC+8 time zones. Because of that, I can only listen to daytime radio shows. Greg James is my favorite, as he has more similar music taste to me. Some other shows that are okay: Alice Levine. Danny Howard’s Dance Anthems were great too.

2017 in Review

I’ve been writing this post for quite some time when I was back home before focusing on playing KH2FM on PS2 and reading Star Wars: Bloodline. After I caught up with those two, I just didn’t have the time to write this post anymore before 2017 has ended.

tl;drAndroid notification settings is less controllable than that of Windows Phone


Back in 2014, I bought my first smartphone, a Nokia Lumia 1020, powered by Windows Phone 8 (if you didn’t count Nokia E72 with Symbian S60v3 as a smartphone). Windows Phone 8 have notification features, but it was just a toast and will be gone after a while. So, the way to check your phone real “notifications” is to go into each of the apps to check for updates (but it will be indicated at apps’ Live Tile). It was not long before my phone OS was upgraded into Windows Phone 8.1, where the toast notifications are collected at Notification Center until it was dismissed by the user.

But I was not a fan of notification.

What up?

It’s been very long since I wrote a blog post. I think it’s now the writer’s block hitting me whenever I wanna write a blog post. Anyway, for personal stuffs, I still write posts but kept it private since it contains sensitive information about my daily work. …
