Regional Contest Day

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh,

Date : Thursday Dec-1st-2005
Time : 10 am

We all arrived at Kuwait Uni where the contest is supposed to be hold.... they took pics for us beside a big model for the earth.... the hole was really nice....

Now they started to call the teams one by one.. give us a card to tell us which hole should we enter... when they called 3*1=0 Dr.Ziad (Contest Administrator) said something that we didn't hear but everybody laughed.... (this is why we chose 3*1=0 ;) )..

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 boooooooom, the contest started ... mmm

we all opened the envelops divided the problems... started reading...

Mustafa was the first to start coding.. (i just want to add a notice that by now AUC has a Ballon :D)...
i can hardly remember what exactly happened in the contest and i don't think it was so important to mention the details here... but we've got gr8 experince... learned a lot... at least we r now convinced that we have to train individually... ISA we can make ourselves like those AUC members .. each one can be a team by himself.....

let's close this issue for now.... we have Projects & Exams soon... so let's get ready for them...

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… :)
