Umarex & Walther CP88

There is no denying that Umarex has made its mark in the airgun world. For those who aren't aware, Umarex is the company that owns Walther. They bought a 90 percent interest in 1993, and the world wondered what would happen to the veteran gunmaker. In the year 2006, March 14, in Ulm, Germany, Umarex celebrated the 120th anniversary of Walther. One reason for their newfound strength was a panoply of realistic airguns that started flowing from Germany in 1996 with the introduction of the Walther CP88!

I have an Umarex Walther PPK/s pistol. and now I've got the CP88 as a new. The CP88 with the 4" barrel is a copy of Walther's P88 Compact 9mm pocket pistol. Though the exterior of the pistol is made of a low-temperature casting metal (pot metal) Umarex has engineered a beautiful finish that resembles blued steel. There are no voids visible, and the corners and edges are as sharp as if they had been milled. The weight is within fractions of an ounce of the firearm's weight (it's 1040grs), so you lose nothing in the sensory department!!

Biorythm

Having a bad day? Feeling unmotivated? But you don't know why? Check out your biorhythms now!

do you know anything about Biorythms? it's about certain life rhythms or cycles. this means your life is based on some rythmic biological cycles. this life cycles are about the emotional, physical and intellectual abilities. yes according to this theory, all of them are based on some cycles that periodically repeated! this cycles are based on some sin & cos functions.

A physical biorythm cycle completes one life cycle in 23 days. An emotional biorythm cycle is 28 days, and an intellectual biorythm cycle is 33 days.

so if there would be a day with all the cycles on the lowest amount, that day is not a good one, and in the opposide side if you have a day with all the cycles on the peak, that is your day! these days called critical days.

if you need more information use the following links:

here is a simple Biorythms calculator. it calculates your biorythms based on your DoB. so give it a try!

Antonov

I was browsing the web , and I saw a picture of Antonov An-225 Mriya. and it made me to write this post. :)

I always loved the aviation. I used to make airplane models. some static and some flyable. I still have all of them and I really enjoy them. flying was all of my dreams. I still wanna fly and I'm trying to get a PPL lisence. and who knows maybe CPL after that ;)

Antonov is one of my favorite aircraft designers and producers in the world. its planes are very productive. and either An-225 Mriya is one of my favorite airplanes. it's almost the biggest and heaviest plane in the world. see the comparison diagram in the page linked above. it shows the differences between An-225 and Boeing 747-400, Airbus A380-800 and Hughes H-4 Spruce goose.

At the first An-225 was made to carry the Soviet Union’s space shuttle Buran. but latter in 2001 it flied again for military transporting purposes.

Microsoft Windows 7 retail in stores

finally the end of waiting. after beta, RC, and RTM, today the final version of Microsoft Windows 7 has released officially. personally Windows Vista made no sense to me, but the Windows 7 seems different. if you wanna try it, here is a link to download via torrent:

http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/137053937/windows+7+64bit?tab=summary

note that i recently start the download so i didn't try it yet, but it seems it's the real deal! it contains either the x86 or x64 version separately in iso files, so you can choose what you want to download in your torrent client. and plus it has the Windows 7 loader for getting ride of the activation problem!

and here is a comparison among the three editions of Windows 7:

Hijri Shamsi <=> Miladi (2)

Hi, In the very first posts of this blog I linked to a page for converting miladi and hijri shamsi dates to each other. but it seems many of you guys are looking for a program or source code for this. so here are some links for it:

I hope this will help ;)

XUbuntu & Ext4

The last week I was installing XUbuntu 9.04 on a server in our company network. XUbuntu is an Ubuntu with a lightweight GUI. It has less minimum system requirements and uses less system resources. because it uses Xfce for desktop environment while Ubuntu uses GNOME.

Its suitable for laptops or servers or even desktops. if you want to install a Linux on your server, its a good choice because its lighter and also had some GUI anyway! of course if you are not one of those guys prefer to use the Linux classical command line!

get the XUbuntu here!

anyway, I saw the Ext4 file system in the partitioning part of installation. its the new Linux file system that is faster and more reliable. Its backward compatible to Ext3 and Ext2. It has other improvements like:

• Extents
• Persistent pre-allocation
• Delayed allocation
• Break 32,000 subdirectory limit
• Journal checksumming
• Online defragmentation
• Faster file system checking
• Multiblock allocator
• Improved timestamps

openSUSE considers the Ext4 as the default file system in a late-2009 release, and Ubuntu considers it as an option for users. Now its time to move slowly to the Forth Extended File System for Linux users.

Final Project

Hi there

I know its a long time since the last post. Well, I was busy with my final project for university. It was a Dynamic Form Generator. this DFG should dynamically create Windows forms when needed. the Administrator users can design their forms within the program and store them to the SQL database, and other users can open this forms and use them. DFG should act as an engine in the main program. I should go further to improve the program to be a real deal!

I used IBM Rational Rose for some UML Diagrams for design part, coded the project using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005, and I used C#.NET as my programming language. actually I love this Language. It has a good object oriented structure and its well organized! thank you Microsoft! ;) and also I used Microsoft SQL Server for the database.

I was going to talk about some thing different from my project, but I think its going to be on a separate post. heh!

Deep Love

You cannot reach deeper within another than you reach in your own self.

If you love yourself for your achievements, your current assets, the way you do things and handle the world -- and despise yourself for failure in the same -- it follows that your relationship with another will also be transient and superficial.

To achieve deep and lasting love of another person, you need to first experience the depth within yourself -- an inner core that doesn't change with time or events. If it is the true essence, it is an essence shared by the other person as well, and deep love becomes unavoidable.
