I was working on a project which allows users to submit posts for approval but using an external editor outside the wp-admin/edit.php page. This created room for submitting images within posts as base64 URL, which at some point maxed out PHP shared memory because someone decided to submit a post embedded with a high-quality image […]
Sucks to be a Nigerian, yeah? We have got zero publicity. Things change without notice to the customers, no documentation whatsoever. If this is your first time of recharging your prepaid meter (i.e. activation), you should head here. This post is for existing prepaid users whom all of a sudden can no longer recharge their […]
A new dawn for me. I was writing C and building something with it. I discovered Go, and now I am rewriting everything to Go, and this is my first public Go package. I showed a friend this algorithm and she asks why it isn’t out there? Took some time to make it standalone and […]

This is the second time I am working on a plugin project like this, first time I don’t remember the project so I couldn’t get back the code, had to rewrite it. This time I am making a post so I could come back to it in the future. So in this case, lets say […]
Been very long I updated this blog, too bad… So few weeks ago I added 1TB HDD to my 256SSD laptop and I decided to move my VirtualBox machine installation folder to the larger space so I can expand and have more space in my home directory. This worked, I am going to show how […]
It’s usually weird with MySQL in everything I guess. Again, I ran into using Regex in MySQL using REGEXP which is pretty cool. MySQL escape strings with double backslash \\, unlike other programming languages using single slash. But the problem here is that the string to be escaped is in a PHP variable, how do […]
After a long while, I faced another problem which I solved and it feels awesome which I’m going to share right away! I must say, MySQL is awesome! The more you write MySQL the less you write PHP vice versa. So on this post I’m going to share how to input default column value with […]
