Its a BenQ!

peace ...salam ...


Finaly

Its a BenQ, best offere and specs as well ... couldnt resists it ...

My New Machine

Our 2 days at the PC fair ended up in a chase .... chasing the black BenQ ... wherever you go, its always that white one ... i don't know how many white notebooks are out there untouched ... but i wasn't easy surrendering to the white one ... its just too white i guess ...

after some wild search ... got my self on a Centrino duo 2.0Ghz machine, coz i needed speed, not battery life or what-so-ever ... installed the 2GB RAM directly ... it came with the neat GMA950 and normal high-end specs such as dvd-writer, SPDIF, .... and hey! .. a built-in webcam ... a 120GB HDD

it came empty though, you can only look at the BenQ JoyBook purple logo ... so i opted for the better windows XP ... not crazy to take windows vista ... it will suck up all the resources im trying to buy here ... anyway ... some development will be done using linux, so LINUX RULES!!!

another thing was that it's Driver CD was Vista-Based, so i had to go back and download all of the winXP drivers ... but thanks to the BenQ's Rich-website (free promo to benq)... i could easily get the drivers for XP ...




and with this .... it like a marriage ...

now have to go and learn how to take care of it ... ;)

December ... Wuzaaaaaaaa

Heyyyyy .. yo ....... peace and salam to ye all ...


Its december ... has been a long time since i wrote something here ... was quite busy ... too busy actually ...

but finally we have agreed on a topic for the final year project, it should be something like a Portable Linux Cluster .... its an instant cluster that should be easily prepared, we will analyse performance and stuff ...

and finally ... i should be announcing my marriage ... yah ... quite something like that .... am getting a laptop ... finally ... yahoo!!!

will it be a BenQ joybook? a Compaq presario? or an Acer?? ...
will it be centrino or an AMD?

These are the questions that will be answered tomorrow at the PC fair KLCC 2007


Il be back later, probably writing next article about my new machine (or wife) ...



walslam .....

simple things .... bad approach

Alslam and peaace ...


long ime havnt written anything here ... maybe its the end of a something usually when i get carried away by a new schedule , now im a new schedule, no more industrial attachment schedule no more company and more reaching office before 8.30 am ... its all over .. still virtually since i need to finish my trademark 5 month an 6 days as stated int the contract between me and the department .. it says 5 month and 6 six days which means that .. there is no way of comromising those 6 days unless by force as it seems ...

anyway .. back with another simple funny visual basic project to finish ... managed to do so in a very short time ... hours maybe ... i was going mad over how to generate data which microsft excel can understand, thought of XML, CSV .. finally decided to reprogram everything within excel itself using VB-A... and that solved the problem ... dumb huh! ... and then came up those simple stuff that u take hours to program ... i was thinking of using an array and then pass the array , then extract those cells ... it then turned out to be direct .. i didn't need to extract nor use an array .. just use the value direct as an input from the user .. dumb again ... but this the life in programming .. simple stuff .. but bad approach makes it tough as iron ...

and again ... the our programming class has been delayed just another day .. i thought it was 14th .. turned out to be 15th ... then i came and found postponed to 16th .. like what the heck was that!!!

anyway .. im so into it that i was never angry about it .. still fighting to get into that class although im not part of the "wanted" ... they want other category of students ... but its interesting .. and i hate limiting students to stuff ... while providing other stuff which are much interesting ... fight goes on to get into that class ... and by the way .. those "wanted" havn't been around .... what a useless category ... they seem to think that they have time to learn ... well .. my advice ... better learn earlier than your age ...

so far ... life has been good ... with a bit of interference here and there , but generally it was nice .. scheduled .. more output ... less sleep and more coding ...

somone came up to me and said: hey .. i need a full, reported , tested and comprehensive project .... hmmmmm ... no comments here .. but this attitude will help no one ...

people are revolting ... again ... why? because authorities have pushed us too much ... we cant really live life like this .... why the heck is everything expensive??? this will lead to people being more pressured at work and home ... better find solution fast ... its all over the world ... petrol prices going up ... although many rich people are getting much more richer ... what type of formula is that??? there must be something wrong .. wake up!!!!

EPL: Arsene Fights for our rights!

Alslam alikum ...

Hmm ... till when will we be judged by our passports??? why not by capabilities and effort ... why the limitation??? although I'm a Manchester United fan, but i wont be blindly following what Sir Alex Ferguson says ... He wants some "home-grown" players!!! .. i mean what the heck??? ,... for the first time i will have to agree with Arsene Wenger, although he has his own deceiving comments, but this time he said the truth ... he doesn't "grade" players according to their passports... its based on what they do on the pitch ... im sure all fans will love to see a "good game" .. not a country-based game which focuses on some "home-grown" players ... and if that "home-grown" is capable, he will be on the team ... if he's not, he shouldn't be on the team ... why are they trying to kill the EPL with such statements??? we as world-viewers like the EPL as it is ... any change will change the viewers ... i don't mind watching "British" players ... but the condition is simple .. if they know how to play , let them play ... if they are too busy with "Beer", too slow, cant handle a ball and don't like to be criticized, let them be and they aren't gonna play ... so salute to Arsene for knowing the meaning of a globalized world , guess the "British" are still unaware that Europe is the European Union now (EURO), and there is no difference between these countries ... but unfortunately ... they haven't learnt from what racism did to some other football leagues ... football is a game that teaches us how to think much more openly ... when it comes to club-level, so lets keep the spirit high .. and stop treating all of the other-world as "Foreigners" just because they don't carry a passport that you carry ... "Globalization" for God's sake ... Wayne Rooney is good because he is good, not because he is British or whatever ... and i bet if he wasn't good, sir Alex will not put him in that position, we all remember how beckham left, wasn't he "Home-grown"??? doesn't he deserves a better treatment as an excellent "home-grown"?? ... the beauty of the EPL is in its cultural mixture ... if england wants to build a team then it should tell its younger players how to play the game and how to respect others as well ... stop drinking and focus on football...

loosing concentration ... women

Alslam and peace to all

I really wonder! ... We are living in a really “Illogical” time

I’m talking about the latest statement by Ustaz Nik Aziz's regarding some Muslim Women...

Suddenly you see those so-called "feminists-men" popping up and attacking the guy for expressing himself...

He said that (as in the news)... those Muslim women - because of their over-exposing attire- cause him (or men in general) to not concentrate on their sleep and daily prayers...

Now my question will be: what’s wrong with that statement???!!! ... Just for a minute lets forget who said it... And focus on its meaning… leaving the politics behind … just for a moment

Isn’t it true that over-exposed Muslim women distract Muslim men??? Be it from anything... Not just sleep and/or prayers ... bring me any normal “MALE” who will not be impressed by the bodies those women who like to grab the attention... those sexy-as-ever women of today … where any women is beautiful to some extent … and alhamdulilaaaaaaaaah

This brings us to a question ... why are Muslim women over-exposing their bodies these days??? Is it freedom, ignorance, marriage, bitching, fame, idiot-icity! ( I mean Dumbness, that was my own word there)

Now back again …. Bring me any normal man who isn’t distracted by semi-naked women … and if you do bring me one... then I will assume he is either a homosexual or a “Hypocritical homosexual” … or maybe some freak who was just “booted” by another woman... I will give him 2 days – in that situation- and he will then be “repaired” …

So those who jumped on the Ustaz’s throat for saying this are either politicians seeking their own good, or either a more dangerous type … the type who will like to see sisters in this way... Including family members!! He will enjoy himself and there will be more than enough for him to see … and believe me there are people of that kind … they will promote an idea even if it was against their own religion as long as they get their dirty benefit from it …

We are not telling Muslim women to be like afghan women with a full Burqa … or like those middle-eastern women-in-black … whom I really personally respectively respect both by the way … but just cover yourself decently … cover yourself from the hell-fire that Allah has warned us from getting ourselves into … if not from hell-fire … then just respect yourself .. It won’t be nice for people to look at you as a bitch or something … because if we go some years back we will actually notice similarities between what prostitutes wore in that time and what some Muslim Women wear today … there is no difference really! … if you don’t believe … watch any movie from the 90’s to see what the difference between what Muslim sisters wear and what those prostitutes wore in that era … I’m being frank here … sorry for insults ; although I don’t give a damn! As they say …

So the next time you (sister) prepare to go out and look at the mirror, don’t look for what expose (don’t buy it anyway) … you will only sin more and get people with you to sin … and that sin will be doubled to your sin … we know you have a beautiful #$%%$%$#% (whatever, I deleted this for decency) … so don’t try the “proof-by-concept” theory on your bodies …

I would love to hear about what causes women to behave and wear what they wear today… if you have any arguments don’t forget to pass them as comments as im still searching for a good answer …

“One point to add: if you’re a sister who thinks Hijab’s meaning is to cover your hair or head, please go back and read about Hijab, because its more than that … “

Alslam and peace ...

They have convicted me of being a secular, of being living in the dark and of being a lost soul...

Hmm ... whoever said that don't understand what im talking about ... im talking about total freedom ... once my friend said ... we cant "taste" anything until we are released from what we are tied to .. so we asked him: what are we tied to?? and what do you mean?! .. he said a human is tied to his own false and unstable ideas ... like culture, people ideas, people saying and some fantasies created by peopleThis life must be enjoyed, as well as we prepare ourself for the hereafter ... but as long as we are tied to some human-made ideas .. we will not be able release ourselves ...

there are so many things that hold us ... such as the axis of sex (borrowed from Mr Bush's phrase: "axis of evil"), we are all going around that axis anyway.. it seems that many are wasting precious time tied to this natural axis ... which i call the axis of sex ... we see it everywhere , we talk about it all the time ... we read about it and try to discover it .. it wastes precious time of the many who are obsessed with it ... i mean we are "tying" ourself to it??? .. much more than we should .. i agree its a natural behavior liked, but its too much ..

then comes our own invention: culture, do this and do that!! .. when you ask why? they will tell, shut your mouth idiot, your grandfathers and grandmothers did so and so .. so you have to follow it ... well ... wait .. excuse me!!! ... why do i have to do it??? isn't it their own idea for their own time??? they wanted to do it ... so they did it ... i don't want to do it .. so i don't do it .. simple logic here ... but still people are so obsessed with it as well .. but in the still "conservative" areas you will suffer if you ont follow what people say .. be it wrong or right...!!

we think if these two "ropes" were un-tied .. we would live a much better and stable life ...

We have other goals in this world to achieve .. and a better later life awaits... heaven .. a never ending life ...

This is what i think of as freedom in this time .. but as long as those two elements control our life ... it will be a miserable one ...
