Stumbled upon a very monstrous PHP project, very old of course, the client complained that the web host refused to downgrade the server for them and this project doesn’t work anymore because it was written with bunch of mysql_* depreciated function. Now it was my job to start editing these files one after the other, […]
SiDB – A Simple Database Library for sqlite3, after writing similar thing for PHP MySQL, since I use Python too I decided to build for it too for my easier coding. After building and seeing how helpful it is, I decided to share. What Does SiDB do? In all, its for less SQL Queries, it […]
As a system admin, was stuck one day looking for a way to delete old files and it brought me to this code. This short code will delete files recursively if directory provided as the argument, if it’s a file, it just deletes the file if it matches the given time frame So with the […]
In an app development I needed to use my system resolvers which is different from my ISP default resolver, and Python keeps taking my ISP resolver.

I had no choice than to deal with what I have, digging into Python documentary site I […]
Through programming languages I’ve been through, finding MIME types is not that kinda easy, the language might not have a built-in function for that or if they have it won’t be that efficient, I can recall in PHP I’d activated the finfo module to find MIME type of existing files. Now in Python, we have […]
Just started my Python class few days ago and it’s pretty cooler compared to PHP, I just got to notice that Python doesn’t like long codes it wants everything short and simple still compared to PHP. Stuffs like: PHP: Is shorter and simple in Python: Am not a pro yet, am just that newbie 😀 […]
Default Ubuntu Python package version is 2.7, while in my Python class I use 3.4 and everything I keep typing python3 whenever I want to run python. Want to turn 3.4 to your default? Easy, BASH made this available by providing space for aliases in the config. Aliases is not only for this function, I […]
