What is your core?
What do you care about? What’s the core of your life? For me it’s relationships, for others I’ve noticed it can be food, music, sometimes it’ll be work but that’s rarely actually the case. Your core part of you is what your mind drifts to thinking about when you are idle. It’s what… Continue reading What is your core?

Zday 2017 – My Experience

Personal Weekly Review – 12 item list

The thing is, I’ve had a weekly repeating Google Calendar entry about doing a weekly review for years, but it just said “Weekly Review”.… Continue reading Personal Weekly Review – 12 item list
PHP5.6 (or higher) on Ubuntu 14.04
Ubuntu 14.04’s official repo isn’t going to support PHP 5.6 or above. I’m currently on v5.5.9-1 and needed to move to a higher version for a Symfony PHP app I’m working on. Most googling shows you the outdated answer so here’s the commands that worked for me. sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo… Continue reading PHP5.6 (or higher) on Ubuntu 14.04
