Code is not a log for a plethora of not-so-valuable trials (pardon me, worthless to what it's meant to accomplish) ...ONLY the the working one should be there. It's not a time capsule for trials neither can it be a scratch pad. Try else where. Code should only reflect one's state of mind when reached the working solution not the compilation of twisted fused bloated trials nor the log for a set of

Refactoring an existing code you are usually fighting bugs resultant from such coding attitude , Listen how Mounir puts it.Lyrics:طنوش طنوش طنوش طنوش طنوش طنوش طنوش طنوش طنوش طنوش طنوش طنوش. طنوش قال لك طناش.... و متعصلجلناش... طنوش قال لك طناش... و متعصلجلناش . تعملى فيها عنتر ده شئ ميخصناش..... بس البعيد هيتعب و هتبقى حالته أصعب, بس البعيد هيتعب و هتبقى حالته أصعب, خليك من حزب أشعب, طنش تاكل

Two days now with OpenDNS, it's impressively fast and reliable. Now i won't be wondering why www.vmware.com or www.google.com isn't available sometimes. Shame on ISPs. It's funny, by having lousy DNS servers they are simply opening business for others. When I was first aware of dyndns and no-ip I was amazed how are they making money out of this (not charging for what any ISP do charge for). I

That's it. I won't be using link's corrupted DNS servers any more. OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) is worth trying. Hope it is kept as good.

While Mahmoud was showing me how he is debugging the plan9 kernel, The eye catching sharpness and beauty of fonts on his linux m/c charmed me. Having suffered a lot from fonts on Linux without actually seeking a solution, I promptly asked him. He told me about libfreetype and how they use a very decent font rendering algorithm. I gave it a look, it turned out that they reverse engineered

Recently I've been working on a project that made an excessive use of Macros. Such usage is usually discouraged. Yet it was a must -or at least it seemed so-. We needed a component to be highly configurable in order to be able to exploit different implementation techniques or even more, different programming paradigms, we also needed that at minimum maintenance cost . To be clearer "function or
