Pushing the Limits
Posted by Bloggylife in personal on November 22, 2009
I’m trying to measure the limits of my daily routines. How much is enough?
- How many times a week I can have pasta before I die of having too much pasta
- How much of “public display of affection” I can take all the while fighting the temptation to notify the pair to get a room.
- How many people’s backsides I can see per day.
- How much more walking I can do without having the urge to tell someone to carry me home.
- Longest bus ride! Last time I almost vomited!! -la3at chabde raseee eftar-
- How much longer I can tolerate Vista before starting hunting down people responsible
OCP Thoughts
Posted by Bloggylife in thoughts on November 22, 2009
One of the reasons I didn’t go into software/web development, is I can never shut my brain down when I’m coding! I slept with a notepad next to my head, I’d sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with a solution or an idea, write it down and go back to sleep, or try to!
I think I have, Obsessive Compulsive Programming disorder! I am an obsessive compulsive programmer.
If I’m programming and I have to go to sleep now, I’d loop for sometime without exiting! I’d set it in my head that I need to sleep, but the action is not carried out, until I’ve exhausted all possible options to solve a problem indefinitely! Even if I convinced myself to continue tomorrow and by the time I am getting ready for bed till the time I’m actually in it, there is a high possibility that I want to do one more thing before going to sleep, it won’t take long! I end up in bed with my laptop.
The best way is to just pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow, because it’s a perfect opportunity in the quiet darkness for OCP thoughts to start circling my mind and I’m impatient I have to try things right away and if it doesn’t work out, damn, what’s the problem and if it works out … YIPIEEE what to do next! Endless loop …
So until I go to sleep, I blog or read to keep my mind off things!
Coding: Keep Away!

Don’t sneak on a programmer while she or he is programming!
Google Wave
Posted by Bloggylife in technology on November 19, 2009
I’m still trying to figure out Google wave and haven’t read too much about it and mainly used it so far in a manner of normal chat and emails.
I’m just going to point out the things I ponder from my scratching the surface of Google Wave.
- I still don’t get the live wire update, as soon as I lock down a character in one end the other end sees it, is it feasible performance wise and also in the real world I don’t think it is practical practice, one always read proofs before submitting.
- In an email, you have the “To”, “Cc” and “Bcc” field, currently in Google wave there is only one field which is basically the “To” in an email. I’m sure that’ll be put in somehow.
- I think wave clients will come out just like email/twitter/chat clients. Someone somewhere will give it a try. Though it’s a bit tricky, because do you want to be notified of all new waves and/or updates of waves. I think that can be managed through settings somehow.
- In the navigation box, there’s Inbox, All, By Me, what’s the difference? Also, if you hover over them there are options, move up/down, which basically moves the option up and down and then there is set colour, which just sets the background of that option to your selected colour. I thought it would tag the waves within that particular category with the selected colour but it didn’t! Strange option, didn’t see the use of it.
- Could someone please tell me, how to delete a wave indefinitely! It just sits there in the trash.
I still need to figure out and be comfortable with waving Also, having your own wave server!
Catch me if you can!

If I loose weight, it’s because the bus keeps driving away! Forcing me to walk all the way up to my dorm room!
Defasha Thoughts!

I hurried to open the door to get to the prayer room, two of my colleagues were walking away.
“Hey, have you got the key, it’s locked, you need the key”
“I know, I’m just going to check if the prayer room is open, if not then I’ll head to the porter”
I open the door to the building and strangely I hear …
“Man, she opened the door!”
I go to the prayer room and it’s locked, I need to head to the porter for the key and there they are in front of me …
“How did you open the door!”
“Ahhh, it wasn’t locked, but I need the keys for the other room …. “
Then it hit me, DAMN, they couldn’t open this door, I thought they were talking about the other room! That’s why they waited I hope I didn’t use my shoulder to burst through the doors …
There goes my newly created mental list of “why I need a man” with a single one week old entry, that came when I couldn’t open my juice bottle and had to tear the edge off

What’s for dinner…
Depends on the available ingredients and the mood. But the most weight goes to the amount of dishes that need to done afterwards!
Favourite Gate!
Posted by Bloggylife in UK on November 15, 2009
“In the real world you are not limited by the type, but I want you to design using your favourite gate ”
For those of you who don’t know what gates are, they are digital logic gates used to design digital circuit (link)
I space out, and picture my favourite one, well I’d say the “AND” gate, I think of it as the fair gate, both sides have to be balanced to produce the highest outcome 
“Yeah, that’d be my gate … “
Back to reality …
The instructor continues, “Actually it’s sad if you have a favourite gate, sounds like you need to get a life … “
WTH, what’s wrong with having favourites .. ya3nee … why is it when anyone has any favourites in the IT world, it’s considered to be a sad thing and one needs to get a life
OR gate, “يلعب على الصوبيين”
NOT gate, “مو على كيفك يبا تمر مثل ما انت حبيبي”
XOR gate, unconventional, likes it when opposites come together
I like to think of all of them as one happy family, completing each other, cooperating together to make things happen.
What’s your favourite gate
Cleaning Day Mess
Posted by Bloggylife in personal, thoughts, UK on November 15, 2009
Today is laundry day. I do the laundry, clean my room , bathroom, kitchen, etc. The last times, after I separate my dirty clothes into appropriate patches, I go down and then remember the soap! Go back and bring the soap. I once fed the wrong machine! Different mishaps.
Today I made sure to take the soap with me, I got my pounds in hand and my card and off I go. Reach the laundry room and what did I forget, my clothes! One patch actually! After I filled up the washing machines, I went back up and had to do some hand-washing, where is the soap! DAMN, I forgot it in the laundry room
I got the hover to sweep my room and then took my five bags recycled trash to the refuse area, this is the first time I go there, usually I go outside, so I go in and put my trash accordingly into their appropriate place, as I head out the door is locked, my card is rejected, WTH, how come I can’t get out of this smelly room! I didn’t have my mobile with me and looking around there was no phone, who am I going to call aslan, I don’t even know my own mobile number. I looked for an emergency exit and thankfully it opened to the back of the building, so I had to walk all the way around to my dorm Next time, I’ll jam the door with something to keep it open, letting us in but not out! What’s the point!
I went jogging today, hoping it’ll help me sleep tonight. As I was walking back to my place, I saw this cute little dog, it’s owner dressed it in a red jacket and get this a freaking matching hat LOL I was smiling wide and as the old lady passed me by, with my grinning wide face, I say: “Hello, lovely dog” and as a proud mama she replied, “Thank you”.
YOU cross my mind, over and over again throughout my day. Every beautiful morning, every fresh rainy day, every smile, every laugh, all are not perfect, all are missing something, because I do not have YOU :*
