Category: Technology

I work in technology sector. And I do round a clock, not only from 9 to 5. It is my bread and butter, it is my hobby, it is the fascination of my life. And with the current rate of change particular in information technology (IT), there is always something new to learn, to try, to talk about. I often post news, thoughts, and reviews. And when I do, this is the category I use.

GitHub contributions graph

After reading Mark Story‘s “Coding every day” post, I started checking my own GitHub contributions chart once in a while.  Until today, I haven’t noticed that the chart has two different modes.  One is your public contributions, seen by people who are not part of your organization’s and private projects.  Here is how mine looks. (Notice the “Public contributions” title of the graph).

Yeah, I know, pathetic.  And here is how the full contributions chart looks like, for me and people who have access to see my private projects activities.  The graph is for the same period. (Notice a simpler “Contributions” title of the graph”).

Could be better, but not as bad anymore.  Now with that I’ll try to push more stuff to the Open Source side of things again.

CakeFest 2014 at Madrid, Spain during August 21-24

I am seriously considering going to CakeFest this year.  Madrid is not too far away to fly to.  The event takes place over the weekend, so work stuff can be easily arranged.  And it doesn’t cost too much – a 2-day conference with the 4-star hotel is only $480 USD (early bird prices until July 15th).  That alone is a good deal.

But looking at the schedule, it’s even more tempting.  The upcoming CakePHP v3 coverage, advances queries, testing, debugging, profiling and optimization, using CakePHP with Composer, Twitter Bootstrap, Travis CI, Selenium, AngularJS and more – these are just some of the subjects that will be covered.  And the speakers are on par  including core developers, community leaders, and otherwise interesting people.
