ACM Warmup Lessons..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

Last post about the ACM Warmups contained some details about what happened in the contest day...

What about lessons we got ?

mmm, First, I should say that no one -till now- reads this blog -it's my own will BTW- so I don't think anybody will get any benefit from the lessons I'll post.. so let the post be mmm a personal evaluation other than lessons for public..

Second, Abdul Rahman, our new-bie partener, has some good points and some bad ones..
Good Point:
- He thinks well..
Bad Point(s):
- He has difficulties in English..
- He gets tired easily..
- Don't concenterate a lot..

Having 3 bad points and 1 good point doesn't mean he is bad.. I believe he will have a good future ISA... Even if we didn't do something this year together, ISA he can do something with his new team next year...

Third, The contest problemset, I think it was kinda easy, except the Dynamic problem, it was easy too but just mm u know, broke the ice....

Fourth, for myself, I need more practice .... more and more... I put that in my plan and ISA will follow it...

That's all for now...

C u next post ISA...

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele...

Microsoft Web Platform Installer… coming near you

The Microsoft Web Platform Installer 2.0 (Web PI) is a free tool that makes it simple to download, install and keep up-to-date with the latest components of the Microsoft Web Platform, including Internet Information Services (IIS), SQL Server Express, .NET Framework and Visual Web Developer.

Question Google Chrome Process Isolation Model..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Google once published this comics book about Google chrome (their Open Source Web Browser) I've linked to one page that I'm concerning about for now... Page 4, Google Chrome Comics Book It explains that Chrome will have separate process per tab, away from the benefits/concerns about this... I was accidently checking chrome's task manager (Shift + Esc) and found something that -apparently- violates this rule... As you see, tab1 process has actually spanned 3 tabs... which is a similar behavior to what IE8 does... I'm not quite sure why this happens in Chrome... but it's just a question to ask... Thanks, Haytham
