One Day Of My Own Life

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh What is Air without Sound anyway? I was looking from the window beside where I sit now, there were some construction happening over there, I have my windows open to get some fresh air... I thought, sound is not a substance by itself, it's just a sort of signal moving through materials... so if the material can alter the waves in somehow to the extent it eliminates them or at least makes them regular, then it'll not transfer the original sound waves... right? Some Science: Image via Wikipedia As I remember, to cancel a wave you have to face it with a similar wave in an exactly opposite direction +ve and -ve if you can say... if they matched in signal (+ve and +ve) that would produce resonance (e.g double the sound) and may drive me crazy :D ! What if this can be applied to a sheet that I can cover my window with, it can be driven by electricity or something.. it can have a sensor hold on some distance, that se...

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh This is a post I started to write loong ago but never finished. For some reasons I remembered it and decided to finish and post. The Terminal (imdb link) is a movie that tells a story of a man who lived in a terminal at the airport for nearly a year waiting for the moment when they let him in to New York. Away from the details of the story and why that happened to him, the movie shows a man preferred to wait for a year in the airport and fulfil a promise he gave to his father sometime ago... his father is dead but he insists on keeping his promise. Sometimes -a lot of times actually- I feel people lost that thing inside to wait for their precious moments to come. The guy in the movie was allowed many times to escape -legally and not- but he's never done that. Maybe he was smart enough to realize those were traps, and maybe he thought "maybe I can wait for the real solution to come". It sometimes happen that you find you...

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Image by MaXiAoLiNg™ via Flickr Do you have a desktop like this? I bet you do… Today, I was restarting my pc (since like a month ago) and realized I have never really used my desktop !!.. I have never hit Win+D (to hide all open windows) and click an icon on my desktop.. What I do usually is hit Win+R, open what I want (i.e process, path, the desktop folder itself) I’m not quite sure whether this is only me or not but this is what I see when I wander around in our office… everybody has something open, nobody is looking at their desktop ! What desktops are there for? a start page to use when you start your pc for the first time? makes no sense.. over time, companies/individuals are producing more and more ways to access everything without the need to go back to your desktop (i.e Google Desktop, MS Desktop Search, AutoHotKey… etc) they are all trying to put all your information at your hands.. For me, I even don’t use Vista’s –so c...

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Microsoft has a .NET framework version called .NET Micro, which is basically a .Net framework for embded systems... they are making a competetion which has a relaxing schedule.. and suits the need for financial support (they will give you hardware if you are one of the top 100 ideas ... which I believe will not be that hard ) So that was for the .NET Micro ... This year, Imagine Cup theme is: "Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems facing us today."... So for those of you who didn't yet start/pick their next fun project... or are hobbyists to challenge their minds... I believe this is a good deal . For more information about the competetion, please visit Coding4Fun (e.g http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive/2008/10/09/8991966.aspx ) If you think others can make use of that, please help spread the word .
