Story of Modularity: Achieving Modularity in Web Application

In my Heliosky.Story project, I am planning to create modularity on every part of the system. To achieve modularity, my program has to be able to load module or application part dynamically. Achieving modularity in web programming is not an easy task. Basically I am amazed with WordPress style of modularity, where they provide a full set of modular API so you can easily develop your custom theme, page, or...

Control Your Source Code

You usually save your code on your development machine. When you need to share your code with your friend, or perhaps when you use multiple development machine such as desktop and laptop simultaneously, you share your code by copying the entire folder and share it to your liking. This is a very bad practice, especially when sharing involves changes and development from other party. Because of that we need a...

What The Hell?

So welcome to my dev-blog. So basically this blog is for my personal project called Heliosky. Yes. I have plenty of personal projects and STALLED! God. So I developed this blog as a motivation to myself to keep on writing, in parallel with continuing my personal project. I will present some of my ideas, my implementation, geeky things, and so on here. What are my personal projects exactly? The ultimate...

How Painful Is My Life

Back to blog, after few months lazy to update it, I often post my thoughts to Twitter instead 🙂 People may don’t understand why I often post melancholic things in my blog or Twitter. Well, as most of my friends know that I never really care about how people think about me, I tried to live my own life to the happiest moment I could achieve, and make everyone I...

The Daily Prayer

I recited Qur’an today, and came after this verse. This is a prayer that is widely prayed by Muslims. I just noticed the meaning of the prayer. 🙂 Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. [they prayed] “Our Lord, do not impose...

Broken Promises

As I previously written on my previous post about promises (here), here’s the law in Islam how do we need to pay our broken promises or oath: Allah will not impose blame upon you for what is meaningless in your oaths, but He will impose blame upon you for [breaking] what you intended of oaths. So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people from the average of that...

Denied, Ridiculed, Hypocrites

This is a verse from QS An-Nisa’: 140. Found this verse today, just want to share it here 🙂   And it has already come down to you in the Book that when you hear the verses of Allah [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them. Indeed Allah will gather the...

I’ve Been Missing Them For So Long

Suddenly I realized I’ve been lying to myself and buried this kind of feeling towards them for years. Someone just dug the treasure back and I realized how much I’ve been missing them since the day they were being sent to The Land of Columbia (and one of them went back to Germany). 🙂 I named the picture file in my PC “Everlasting Friends” and I was just so stupid...

Once again I am required to make an essay. This essay is actually a study objective.
