Welcome to “coding (the life)”, I am Marvin Marcelo and this is my personal site. I write anything here that interests me, its mostly about what I do – code, code, and code (programming). Debugging is where I measure my skill compare to the original programmer, but that’s only half of the projects / tasks I held, the other half is I did by myself which means I’m comparing myself vs. myself months or year ago. And to be honest, I laugh at my own work . But its all good, I know I’m not going from better to worse.

But there are times I don’t do programming at all, that means I got tired or just don’t want to be in front of a computer. I’m hoping to have a week long vacation, or couple of days at least, without a machine around me, but I’m not sure if that is ever possible. Mobile phones today like the one I have is almost like a computer, and it has internet connection too. So I thought, forget about avoiding machine (computing devices) if I get a vacation, just enjoy with it.

This is mostly a document of how I go about my everyday programming life, some personal stuff too. At night, I try to get at least 6 hours straight unconscious sleep. Unconscious in a sense that I don’t stare at the ceiling thinking how to overcome a logic I got stuck into the entire day, at times, its the trial-and-error approach I’m going to do next. Yes, I ran out of options at that point, which I think is the common pitfall of average programmer. But its all part of the fun, without that I’d probably looking for another company / client in the next couple of months, which is not good in my career record. I thank Bernadette for continually reminding me that.

Note: Things change, that’s why there is ‘version’ and what you’re reading is quite out-dated.
