Seven Things


Thanks to Brett Bieber for tagging me in the "Seven things you probably don't know about me" meme. Unlike the others, mine are not interesting, not at all, but here goes...

  1. I grew up in a small city famous for it's pistachio and rugs. I now live in a big, crowded city which suffers from severe air pollution, Tehran.

  2. Not too many people know this, but I play Santur, and once was in a concert.

  3. My first computer was a Commodore 128 at the age of 6 or 7. God knows how many circles I drew.

  4. Never been in a party or wedding ... I'm actually uneasy in crowded places.

  5. I don't drink alcohol... yet ;-)

  6. I'm a big fan of Progressive rock... actually, I like 70's.

  7. I really want to get a PHP user group started here in Tehran.

I can't find anyone with a blog who hasn't already been tagged for this, so I guess I'm the last one :-P

How To Act Against Recently Made Movie "300" ?

Google bombing however is the very last thing we can do. Similar to what we done with the phrase "Arabian Gulf" if you remember.

Here's my link to that site:

GetFirebug.com

I just can't imagine how debugging was a painful task before being familiar with Joe Hewitt's (now is copyrighted for Parakey Inc.) Firebug.
Struggling with LiveHTTPHeaders or WebScarab for determining whether calls are executed at all or playing around with DOM Inspector to inspecting an element's various attributes or Venkman for JavaScript debugging, and Console˛ for viewing errors and notices were my daily jobs mainly at the debugging stage ... (oldishhhh days!)
But Firebug provides an "All-in-One Magic Box" to make all of these stuff, Just fun!
Firebug performs all of these in a very very neat UI, and the great news that made me to write this post is that:
"Firebug 1.0 is getting Close"

Parakey

IEEE Spectrum (November issue) Features Parakey on the cover, A new project from Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt.
Parakey tends not to be one of those WebOS loser projects which just aggregates informations and let you drag them across your browser, it's main goal is to make content publishing easy, very easy, as easy as making the content of your globally accessed page, off-line!
Ross wants independent developers to create a variety of applications for Parakey. To that end, he and Hewitt have created a programming language for Parakey that they call JUL, a mashed-up acronym that stands for “Just another User interface Language.”

... it looks like a Web site—down to the Firefox-style tabs that run across the top of the page, which each family member uses to display his or her own section—it is, in fact, something much more ambitious: a universal interface. Even though Parakey works inside your Web browser, it runs locally on your home computer, which allows Parakey developers to do things inside your Parakey site that a traditional Web site could not do, such as interact with your camera ...

Thanks Bogofilter!

Spam, spam and spam ..., Time for a migration.
I'm using Thunderbird for about 15 months when I don't like it at all!
I should admit that, the just reason made me to use it so far is the fact that Thunderbird is from Mozilla.
Anyway, with the amount of spam which I get daily and TB's poor anti-spam engine (even after 15 months doesn't seem a well-trained one), I decided to migrate and candidates were Evolution and Sylpheed(-claws), dunno why I can't be happy with Evolution at all, even with it's ton of integrity options with GNOME; Hi Sylpheed then!
Well, here, before emerging Sylpheed and downloading email messages I had to wonder in a way to reduce the spam-handling-by-hand.
Bogofilter was my choice.
And finally it's time to train it, as it does its magic based on the principles of probability (is a Bayesian one), I needed an archive of spam and non-spam emails, the best way was to download all of my gmail account emails, move junks to Spam folder and train it!

Well, although it took a long time, but now, the result is awesome!
