My first open source project in anywhereindb has downloaded 1000+ times. I am really happy about it. I never thought it will be downloaded so main times.

I think, 30% credit goes to Nurul Amin Russel, who design the user interface. it looks good, that why people likes it..

OK, i’ll make a production working search available, for the users.

Demo:

I am working on my own PHP framework. there are already alot of framework in the market. why I need another more?

Basically, I have worked with the framework which are the best in market. I liked them, but there were a lot of suff which is missing. Now, for being faster to develop and faster to run. I am building my own. Yea most of the stuff I have to write again and again.

but, hopefully with in 2years it will be a stable. then I am going to release it as open source project. Right now, http://code.google.com/p/kiko-php/ but this is not recent version. I am working on the documentation part. some work has to be done. We have to solve some of the major problem.

Working on the system hopeful, it will be relayable with in 5 June 2011. and stable with in 2012.

I know, Nobody need a new framework. it just for me..

I am very much lazy person, if I have to do something twice. I like to do a copy paste. if need to do it more than that(2times) then I write a code. Downloading movies from RS is a pain for me. So, I have written a code to download them from the rapidShare site.

basically there is 2parts one,

Part 1 is getting the cookie form the site. You need an account (you can buy one from http://www.rapidearth.com/ )

Part 2 is downloading the files using the shell script.

Taking the cookie:


wget \
--save-cookies ~/.cookies/rapidshare \
--post-data "login=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD" \
-O - \
https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi \
> /dev/null

Now make a dl.sh I am really lazy, don’t even edit the code. make list.text file with urls, use it as input)


#!/bin/sh
while read LINE
do
wget -c --load-cookies ~/.cookies/rapidshare $LINE --no-check-certificate
done <$1

now, run it with

$ dl.sh list.txt

I am not trying to help anyone with this script. when I need this script, can not find the code anywhere. So, keeping it in the blog will help me find out next time!

Thank you.

I am planning to do another Masters on another subject after finishing MS in Software Engineering. There are lot of thing what we can learn. I’m not planing to do an MBA. I am planing to do, more basic Subjects Like Economic, Maths, Physics, Sociology, Dramatic,  Or even Law. for the first time in my life, I will be doing a course not earn form that. just know about it.

For the last, 23years I am in school of my 27 year life. after graduation, I have stop the school for 6months and So. it was like an hell to live. Now, I am doing class 2days(2X 3 hours) a week. those 6 hours are like the best time of the week.

Why More MS?

1.Exams: I enjoy the day of exam. Most of the time, I don’t do full time work on the day of exam. when I am in pressure, good idea’s comes out. I work on that idea and some part other interesting thing. Love to do that. Most of my creative idea’s came out on the day of exam.

2. White board: In class, Teacher have very good audience, student have that also. Students can share / presents the problems they are facing.  In other organization of the society, (i.e. Family, friends, offices)  does not that kind of environment.

3. Friends: I have found, best friends of mine, I meet most of them in my classrooms. Like twitter, none remembers me, even if check the “remember me” checkbox. I am kind of Out of sight, out of mind type of man. being in school means being in sight.

4. Books: I have that very bad habit about Reading books. I can start it with fun, I can finish it. But if I dont have any fun at all I can not even go though it.

5. Homeworks: Keeps me busy, love to work on that.

in my early days, I hated School. most of the time, I don’t like to study, never do my home work. I was careless about my study. Still now, I am careless about my study. But love to learn, lot of things are changed. My Mom(the person for whom, I pass my SSC and HSC) is very happy to hear that want to study more. She said, plan for PhD, if you want more. I think, I will love to do so, but I don’t want to leave Dhaka. I am building my company, and I am with my family and friends. I don’t want leave them. I don’t want a tasted of better life. I just want to be here.

So, I am doing another MS. Please comment about subject choice, I have and where I can do it.

– Thank you for reading my boring blog!

Last nights networking course, we got a bonus question?

Question was: what is the probability to solve all the questions answer right in “4 to 4 matching sentence question*“.

My answer was : 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/156 = 0.006410256

My explanation: getting one right is 1/4, getting 2 right in a row will be 1/4 *1/4 and so on 4 them right will be 1/156

Kafi vai’s answer was: 1/24 = 0.041667

Kafi vai’s explanation: there are 24 combination to have the answers. getting all right it one of 24. its 1/24.

on the other hand, if you calculate probability of each part , it slove the problem also:

1/4 X 1/3 X 1/2 X 1/1 = 1/24 = 0.4166

[updated ]I was  Doing big mistake using Binomial Distribution, it will not be used here.

this will be used in sequence like, you have 3dice, how many time you will get 9, 23 on single roll of 3dice.

*[there where a table with 2collums and  4rows, you have to match left with right.]

My English is terrible. writing, reading is very poor. typing is the worst. I type with the spell checker. I looks very terrible. that why my blog sucks.

My Social life: it’s like browsing on facebook walls. check some friends life. watching the photos on newly marriage events. No, I not crazy about marriage. Most of the events, I found most my friends were there but not me. I don’t like to attend this events, but I attend no matter what else I have to do. Allah helps me in many ways. That why, most of the time I am not invited. my simple analysis is that, I am not that much important to anyone anyway, and never belonged in group. So, it’s petty much standard that, I should not in the guest list. More funny thing, nobody even tells me about his/her event. this makes me think, I am a curse. So, I watch the event photos, and wish the new couple a happy married life.

Marriage should be a very nice, easy and simple event. very few people and one event. [I always hoped, Might have something like that. Only almighty Allah knows, what it will turn out.]

My Walks: I love to walk in my city. long walk, short walk. most of the time think when I walk.

My Class : In IUB MS is 1year program, but usually it takes around 2years. Most of the time I work in the weekends along with my weekdays. So, I get very little breaks. My MS classes gives me a break from my deadline to deadline meeting job.  Now, I am thinking, it should not be finish in this 2years. I am planning to study others subjects in other discipline. but not in IUB, they have very bad toilets.

My life : Most of the time try learn something new and bit hard. most of the time can learn it and earn a bit from there. Life is very nice and simple. I am always happy about it.

My poker playing : Don’t ask. I am very bad poker player, most of the time I don’t fold.

My Mobile Phone : I love the hardware. Idea of mobility gives me freedom. (Nokia 5200: I still miss you)

“Suppose you came upon someone in the woods working to saw down a tree. They are exhausted from working for hours. You suggest they take a break to sharpen the saw. They might reply, “I don’t have time to sharpen the saw, I’m busy sawing!” (Sharpen The Saw)

Every morning, is beginning of a new day. Each day should have some goals.We have to work hard to reach that goal. Everyday, we have to learn new stuff to do a new task or to do the old task better.

Learning is most important part of our life.

So, I should have plan to “sharpening the saw” ….
