Hi, I'm Alex! ☕

What is this blog? I started writing articles back in 2012, ranging from travel logs to programming tutorials in PHP. I enjoy writing texts here and then when I find (or don’t find) certain things that might be interesting for others.

What is gaia? Gaia is..or better will be.. an easy but deep software to manage your pets, targeting Reptile and Insect-Hobbyists. The idea is to have a central system to monitor your loved ones.

Drawing an eye diagram with Python I just got a task for university…well, lets say it was a bunch of tasks but this one was kinda heavy for me at first.
