Back to the 70's

Salam and peace to ye all

To many things to discuss ...

im back to 70's music again .. Boney M at my No.1 in the list, Bee Gees, James Brown ... and abit of jimi hendrix

running like upto 24 hours ... thats more of a 70's re-birth ...

but i came to conclude those people had better music than us .. even the recording , at least relatively

music in recent month's has become useless ... too much dependent on body language ... not even good music .. forget the lyrics ...

im also on my latest track ...a flute track for the first time ... so its melodic ... :)

had a haircut like after some 9 month .. feeling air on my head again ... it takes more than 5 minutes to comb .. so had to execute that afro-thingy ..

final year project is nearly done .... wooohooo .. due date the 15th of march 2008 ...

wish me luck on that last one ...



a very brief post of what has been happening lately ...

walslam

Ignoring to torture ...

Peace to all .... (if u still believe in peace)

anyway ... you know what (yahh you ... the reader) ...that there is some method which will make you feel real bad ... its when someone you respect behave as if he doesn't know you ... even trying to avoid having a look at you ... so basically you don't exist ... we usually do this with people we hate or get annoyed with ... but when it happens .. it really means one thing ... the damn f***er have no respect at all ... and this is from a very narrow viewpoint of mine ... it depends ... maybe im wrong .. but when it happens it has on exaplanation ... specially when it repeats more than 3 times in a session ....

ok ok ... it just happened here and this got my nerves on ... we use to call this category of behavior "marginalization politics" ... some will laugh as i translated this word-by-word from an Arabic statement ... "Siasat al-tahmeesh" .... now this is mental torture .... you don't have to do anything .. thats the main concept ... you just let the person in front of you in a non-exist state ...


and there you have ... the ingredients to torture human feelings ...



walslaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Its Virtual ...

Alslam - peace -

Finally, blogging from a virtual machine running Linux ....

finally the vmware is running and connected with the world ...


major work and analysis going on here .... clusters is the category for our Final Year project .. experimenting with clusters and parallel computing ... will post more details later on ... the project will focus on light clusters that will ease the job, we will test some programs on it later ...

anyway .. life has been going on well with the lappy top.... can stay up all night with a wirless connection ... this is the life i was missing ..


anyway .. gtgo back to work ...


walslam ...

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...
