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:

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!
