The Man

My name is Robert Agcaoili (og kau ee lee). I am currently located in Southern California where I work in an Information Technology sector of a government agency. I usually spend my time working in CSS and PHP.

I am happily married with a daughter that my wife and I both love and adore. My interests include Apple, Inc. technology, comic books, and coffee.

The Site

If you were to ask me what this site is about, I would say its difficult for me to say. But if you twist my arm enough, I would say its a blog about life and using the technology around us to make it better.

You can call it a tech blog, you can call it a productivity blog — but for me its life.

With the growing popularity of iOS and its devices, I try to take a look at how we can use these devices in making our lives better. Sometimes it involves its OS X counterparts, so you'll see some of that too.

As a father, a husband, and a working adult, sometime staying on top of your game is difficult with all the hats to wear. I, by no means, don't offer solutions for everybody, but I say what works for me.

Technical Details

This site uses the static blog engine, Pelican. It is hosted at Digital Ocean. CSS and Python customizations were done by myself. Special thanks to Daniel Wajda for the optimization of the CSS.

I use an iOS device for about 90% of the writing on this site.

I use Writing Kit and Byword on my iPad for about 80% of the writing of the writing when using an iOS device.

I also built this site entirely on my iPad using Textastic, iSSH, and Diet Coda all while paired to a Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Case. Formatting the blog posts while transferring from Tumblr to Pelican, however, was accomplished on a MacBook Air using nvALT and Keyboard Maestro.

Useless Trivia

• Like many other blogs out there, I chose a Unicode symbol for my featured post and permalinks. The symbol I chose, the Black Four Pointed Star (✦), is due to my favoring of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• I have never been to nor seen Pinterest.
• I am a comic book reader
• I still consider myself a gamer, even though I haven't really played a video game in the past 4 years.
• I am a coffee enthusiast, as seen in some of the posts on here.
• I'm a sucker for chocolate.
