Into the hedge…

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh (Peace upon you)

Have you ever got the feeling that you are sitting inside a hedge… in the sense that you are surrounded by noon-sun light but you don’t know the directions… and despite the fact that you are a few inches away from both sides, you are afraid to go either ways because you don’t know which side leads to the sharp edge and which is the safe ground…

What would you do… either wait the sun to set or take your best bet…

I don’t think there is a right answer, if there is one it would be “it depends”…

At least for me, I still can’t figure out what does it depend on! and I’m afraid to death that I won’t know till sunset! …

If I can ask you for one thing, that will be your prayers…

  3. Hey Haytham - I hope you've found your way and are doing well.

    Philosophically speaking, perhaps going somewhere-regardless of where- instead of waiting for the sunset is better. At least you learn something then.

    Allah a3lam :)

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… :)
