Greatest Living American

Now it is official - Stephen Colbert is the Greatest Living American. If you doubt it - ask google. Actually this is a Google Bomb by Colbert Report writers like the previous act "Truth has become a commodity".

More over about the last weeks parade in Ankara, another one is announced to be held in Istanbul on April,29 - which is next sunday - at Caglayan square/Sisli. See you there =)

Returning back to my boring life, I was stuck on JLIST's, wasn't able to change a value on a Jlist - solution is as follows, put the values on a vector, send the vector to the jlist and then the scroll pane and then the parenting panel. And to modify the values, change the value in the vector, resend it to jlist, resend jlist to the scroll pane, and repaint the jPanel. It is a lame job to do these each time you change a value but - it is how java spins this thing.

Because that my college friends are graduating this year - I have a lot of write-ups
to write for the year book and I haven't started yet. I must start any time soon.

The surprise of yesterday was that Prof. Isil Bozma (also known my project advisor) skipped our weekly project meeting. I feel like she doesn't have right to skip a meeting when she is a professor. Probably something important have happened.

On Wednesday me, my sister and some friends went to Taksim for a live performance of the Group Badem. Actually I wasn't expecting much but we had fun.

Have you checked out the new Command & Conquer 3 a.k.a Tiberium Wars. The game is fantastic, you should try it with a good pc - the modelings and effects are magnificent.

One more thing before I go to sleep, Defrag your pc! I just looked and there is 60% fragmentation.

I couldn't sleep well last night so I'll have a little nap.. may be I add some more


*For those who doesn't know Stephen Colbert - he is hosting his own television show The Colbert Report which is a Comedy Central program watched by 1.2m viewers per night.
Some quotes from Stephen Colbert in White House Correspondents' Association Dinner:
I believe in democracy. I believe democracy is our greatest export. At least until China figures out a way to stamp it out of plastic for three cents a unit. As a matter of fact, Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong, welcome. Your great country makes our Happy Meals possible. I said it's a celebration.
The point is it is the heart-warming story of a man who was repeatedly punched in the face, so don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say that 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing?
I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least. And by these standards, we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq.

hate Winsock

It's been over 9 hours since I started my search on a working c++ server client pair. Its a shame that even some computer science grads doesn't know how to program with winsocks. At last a couple hours ago I could find some peace of code and compile it. I also tried the sample code on msdn which I couldn't compile on Visual Studio 6. It was kind of creepy but at the end I managed to accomplish the first part of my project: get a c++ server-client pair. I also compiled a server-client pair with java.
Next two steps are:
1) c++ server - java client
2) c++ client - java server
3) c++ server&client - java server&client (threads may be needed)

I have a class at 9, most probably I'll sleep after the class.

Another sleepless night... nighty night

beer and research

After a week of 4 hours of sleep per night, I'm back in the lab working on the java - c++ socket interface with 3 beers and 4 friends in hand. I've three separate meeting from 10 to 1am so I better get going to my bed (ps: I'm still in ISL). Anyways - a list of what I have learned today:
1- Stay in class on Thursdays - there may be quiz on telecommunication course
2- Ad hoc connection is very trivial to setup
3- Lord of the rings online has hell lot of updates

a little todo list and it will be perfect:
1- Encrypt the adhoc connection with apes
2- java - c++ socket interface
3- java control pad
x- (changed)java image display
4- java libraries for map display

good list for a week...

// ok - just got out of the project meeting, It feels good to be the only one that had something to show haha =) - on the other hand the others are still having a hard week because of their courses

ps: have you tried Lord of the Rings Online, I'm really curious about the game, may be I join after the huge download of the updates
