If you own an LG LHD675 (or a similar high-wattage LG Home Theater system), you may have encountered a frustrating issue: after about an hour of use, the sound quality suddenly becomes muffled or distorted. You restart the system, it sounds great for a few minutes, and then the “muffled” effect returns. If you’ve sent […]
I never thought I would reach a point in my career where I had to write code specifically to “slow down” a computer until I started writing low-level network code in C. If you have spent time in the trenches of systems programming, you know the feeling. You build a robust system, but the moment […]
PHP Enums came in with 8.1 and it has been a very groundbreaking feature introduced into PHP. For me, the getters and setters approach has been modified. Some people agree that the Getters and Setters system is outdated since the defined data type for objects came out, but I still find myself trying to run […]
php-jsondb is a light framework that provides an object and methods to perform CRUD operation on a JSON file, using a similar interface to that of RDBMS. In a situation where you are within a small scale project, you can use this library to read and store data in a JSON file, allowing cross-language support […]
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 […]
If you have been given this device after fixing your prepaid meter, and given some class tutorial on how to use it but still have not gotten it working, don’t worry, I didn’t get it too. I figured it myself and I am here to help others. If you are yet to get your IKEDC […]
So today, I am about to make a switch from Debian to Arch. When I installed my Debian, I had not known about installing /etc, /var and others in different partitions. Now I want to backup my /var/www/html which contains most of my project and clients’ to an external drive, but node_modules!!! There are many […]
Story cut short, I got a project to pull files from Amazon S3 and allow users to navigate into sub-directories knowing S3 is a Flat file system. I wrote some PHP functions to take the folders and make them array keys of an multidimensional array. The plan was the put the files into the arrays […]
