WWE Supercard is now available in iTunes and Android devices. This game is quite familiar with MyNBA2k14 Mobile game but with added twist and new rich features. This WWE Supercard game as I said offer new features like reward tier wherein your rewards will depend on your current exhibition card line-up. For example if you have like 3 common cards on your line-up then you can only expect rare cards.

So what is the secret on winning most of your game and getting more better rare cards (super rare, ultra rare, epic and legendary) ? Of course by upgrading or getting cards from exhibition matches or buying your cards which is I think not a good idea.

Seriously, proper card alignment is the key to success to every exhibition games and let's examine this card line-up which is most identical to mine.

Legends:
L - Left
R- Right
U- Up
D- Down

Sample Card Line-up:
1. L (high card)
2. L
3. R
4. L
5. Diva Card
6. Support card
7. Support card




My rules to success:

  1. Upgrade to max level (This will improve your chance to get more rare cards)
  2. Always have a LLR / RRL or UUD / UDD combination (For tag team, always build LR / UD, this will add more stats on your card)
  3. 1 High card no matter what alignment ( this will be your main card for solo matches and don't use this for tag team match)
  4. For Diva always select the card with the highest rating
  5. Don't use Support cards on the very first match. Reserve it to Diva matches or for every 3rd match
  6. Always select the opponent with a lower tier (rare, super rare, and so on)

You can have other combinations of card like if you prefer wrestlers with Up and Down alignment you can do so, but make sure to apply my list of rules to win every game. Currently I do have 350 wins and 50 losses which I think my line up if pretty effective for now.

Microsoft finally dropping to give updates for Internet Explorer 8 and older versions and this will be effective in coming weeks.

Working as a  PHP developer for my half of my life now, seeing old Internet Explorer go is one great moment for me. I have spent hours and tears on working with this old buddy. I

I learned lots of things while working with Internet Explorer browsers. I found out about the  infamous asterisk and underscore. And I also learned how to defend why we shouldn't support IE browsers against my bosses.

I can say that the new breed of web developers will never feel our frustrations since the new Internet Explorer is already using HTML5 engine like Google Chrome and Firefox. So long sucker!

One of the main problem on hosting your web applications in Heroku is "idling". Idling is when your web dynos will go down after not having a single visit or connection in 1 hour span.

The solution for this is very easy, just ping your app. But what is the effective or cheapest way of doing it?

As of now, I do have at least 5 web apps hosted in Heroku and at first I am having a hard time on keeping my apps from idling. Here's how I ping my apps simultaneously:


  1. Sign up to SetCronJob.com
  2. Create a php file with this code inside:
    • <?php
      file_get_contents('your_website_here');
      file_get_contents('your_website_here');
      file_get_contents('your_website_here');
      file_get_contents('your_website_here');
      ....
      and so on 
  3. Back to SetCronJob, create a job with 30 minutes pattern
  4. Paste your app url along with the php file you created : sampleapp.herokuapp.com/cron.php
  5. Hit save
That's it!!

Unfortunate for me, I found a very late solution to my problem. You can also use New Relic's monitoring capability to ping your website.  Using SetCronJob only allows you to ping your website for every 30 minutes because of account limitation but here in New Relic it seems every minute it pings your apps. 

Same process but instead of using SetCronJob you can paste your cron url in New Relic's monitoring page.
