Another 3 days until the end of Ramadhan. And a week hopefully for the baby to come out. And me and wife will be parents! How cool is that?

Anyway I have been configuring my next PC. Considering a Phenom X4 system, but later to changed to Intel because can get the same price as a Phenom X4.

This will be the specification:

Fasting month

Well today is the second day of the fasting month for muslim aka Ramadhan. I would like to wish all of my friends happy fasting, don’t eat too much during break fast.

And it’s sad that I can still my old post http://say.syedmuhammad.com/index.php/2007/10/16/selamat-hari-raya/ meaning that I haven’t update this blog regularly.

Anyway checkout this browser Google Chrome. Sleek but still in beta…

Update: After entering this post, the post itself is non visible anymore. Aha! But i still haven’t had the the time to update this blog regularly

Multiple select file uploads

SWFUpload is a small JavaScript/Flash library to get the best of both worlds. It features the great upload capabilities of Flash and the accessibility and ease of HTML/CSS.

The best thing about this library it can be implemented in any web language, used it for my company .NET app. The documentation is good too as well as the plugins

Integrating Facebook with Wordpress

Metal Gear Solid 4

Just bought the special edition of the latest installment of MGS4, still at the Act 5: The Twin Suns. Haven’t watched the blu-ray cos it gives a warning (good warning Konami) of spoilers if you don’t finish the game first.

Anyway, my PS3 do need a game. Apparently the first game-worthy game is MGS4. Been putting MGS2 in my play-asia cart for a while. Finding a good PS2 NTSC/J English language is pretty hard. Why can’t they (Sony Corp of course) just lift up the region encoding of PS/PS2 games. It is getting annoying.

baby scanned, scotty!

well, this is a work in development

What’s up

seldom i’ve been updating this blog. Anyway, just found out in C#, that Thread.Sleep(value) accepts the value of 0, but instead sleeping for 0 milisecond, it will block the thread indefinitely. Well, that sucks.

int interval = 10;
Int32.TryParse(AppSettings["interval"],out interval);
Thread.Sleep(interval * 60000);

Meaning that if the parsing from the config fails, then interval will be 0. The solution?

int interval = 0;
Int32.TryParse(AppSettings["interval"],out interval);
if(interval == 0) interval = 10;
Thread.Sleep(new TimeSpan(0,interval,0);

Hmmm… well… sucks.

Busy..busy…busy

Well, its been 5 months since my last post. Well, that sucks big time! It means I am too busy blogging my own stuff during office hours .

Anyway, a lot have happened. Now I’m a husband, a Blu-ray freak, and also a Senior Software Developer. How cool is that? Anyway, I need to have time for myself, so that I can initiate new projects for my hobby if you know what I mean.

Till then…
