After Regionals...

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh,

Finally we finished a step in our ACM long way.. actually this step was not done successfully but e7l we got a lot of experince, pleasure, .... and lots of things that e7l were really gr88...

we arrived there about 2:40 pm on Tuesday, Nov-29 the whether was just perfect... we enjoyed the AirPort, the clean roads and surely those people respecting the road-lights (u can imagine that they stop their cars when they c the YELLOW light ;) )
After taking us to the Hotel ( Marriott ;) ) we reserved 2 additional rooms for the other team and the reserves... then received our keys :D they were not actually keys... they were mmm some kind of Magnitic Cards..... they gave them to us as suvineers later ..

Some of us went to do some shopping and have a walk... i stayed in the hotel just enjoying the room :D... the free Net (accessed using the TV ;) :D),....

Now it's time to go to the registeration room... we paid the fees ... took our T-Shirts.. went back to the room and then down again to have the dinner ....

I want to make a small notice about the Elevator system.... u can say we were studying this system each time we use it during our stay there..... mmm there is no control from inside the elevator... u, while standing ourside, choose the floor-number u want to go to, then it tells u which elevator is coming to u (A, B, C or D) u wait that elevator, it comes, opens to u, u enter, then it starts moving towards the desired floor... the system attracted us cuz we think it has some sort of AI to choose the best elevator that suits my request....

The dinner was nice that we really enjoyed it... the service was really nice too as long as the waiters who were really kind and friendly...

I'll continue telling u about the second day later ISA .... cuz now i'm going to have my lunch....

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wabarakatoh...

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

Visual Studio 2008 Not saving changes or project properties?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh (Peace upon you) I’ve recently ran into problems with VS 2008. Summarized here: When you try to edit the project properties (specially C++ projects) you are faced with a little nice message saying “Exception from HRESULT: 0xF9F0F308”. Sometimes when you are editing a file (specially large ones), VS doesn’t recognize you’ve made changes (ie doesn’t display that ‘*’ in the files tabs) hence, when you save, nothing actually gets saved. For those 2 problems, a friend explained the problem and a work around (till they officially release a fix)… Open up a Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt Run cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE" Make a backup copy of devenv.exe in case something does not work right. ie. copy devenv.exe devenv.exe.bak Run editbin /largeaddressaware:no devenv.exe Happy VSing… :)
