A really amazing poem by Dr. Ali Shariati. Sorry for not translating, would really kill the feeling. The main theme is around how a true human’s humanity causes them to take in a great deal of pain in this world..….
I also created a Verse page for Dr. Shariati here. It’s still empty-ish but well… working on it. Feel free to join add stuff….
خدایا کفر نمی‌گویم، پریشانم، چه می‌خواهی تو از جانم؟! مرا بی آنکه خود خواهم اسیر زندگی کردی. خداوندا! اگر روزی ز عرش خود به زیر آیی لباس فقر پوشی غرورت را برای تکه نانی به زیر پای نامردان بیاندازی و شب آهسته و خسته تهی دست و زبان بسته به سوی خانه باز آیی زمین و آسمان را کفر می‌گویی نمی‌گویی؟! خداوندا! اگر در روز گرما خیز تابستان تنت بر سایه‌ی دیوار بگشایی لبت بر کاسه‌ی مسی قیر اندود بگذاری و قدری آن طرف‌تر عمارت‌های مرمرین بینی و اعصابت برای سکه‌ای این‌سو و آن‌سو در روان باشد زمین و آسمان را کفر می‌گویی نمی‌گویی؟! خداوندا! اگر روزی بشر گردی ز حال بندگانت با خبر گردی پشیمان می‌شوی از قصه خلقت، از این بودن، از این بدعت. خداوندا تو مسئولی. خداوندا تو می‌دانی که انسان بودن و ماندن در این دنیا چه دشوار است، چه رنجی می‌کشد آنکس که انسان است و از احساس سرشار است
So on my quest to learn some more D, I tired a few different IDEs and so far I like Poseidon best. It’s very nice and comfy to use open source IDE written with DWT. The only thing about it that gave me some trouble to start with, was that even though I had introduced the correct path to DMD and DMC, I would still get an “Wrong DMD path” as soon as I tried to compile some code. After a bunch of playing around and trying different things, I did find the solution, but I can’t say that I actually understand the “why” of it. Basically all I had to do was to not include the “bin” folder in the path. And that was that, problems solved!
I also found this little debugger called Ddbg that works nicely with Poseidon. And out of pure curiosity, I also got me this ebook. Will start reading through it soon enough.
As I’m sure you all know by now, a mix of disappointment with first Last.fm and then to a smaller extent Blip.fm got me thinking about my own online music player… and that’s how Melange came to be. I’ve been using it to play some of my favorites from independent / creative commons / demoscene artists, and so have a number of my friends. And by the way, it’s accessible for guest via username “guest” and password “guest”. 😉 And what I totally dig about it is that my tracks do get scribbled to Last.fm through Ampache [the software for Melange].
So in the past few days I added some more music to the Melange collection, namely my entire SinQ playlist. It’s totally awesome music, and if you don’t know SinQ yet I suggest you check it out. =)
I saw this video yesterday for the first time and I’ve watched it a few times since then… it’s pretty fantastic. Both the interior and the exterior of it. Thanks to xo for posting it to my twine. Check it out!
Oh wow…. ok, it looks like this Still group never created anything less than perfect! 10 demos, and they’re all pretty amazing. The visuals are marvelous and the soundtracks are just lovely! =)
Well well, it appears Honda’s ASIMO has a serious competitor! While ASIMO’s fastest running speed has been 6km/h so far, this new Toyota humanoid is running at 7km/h. Also as seen in this video, this robot can do a nice job re-balancing itself when pushed slightly. This new Toyota robot’s stunningly natural running really amazes me. however, while standing, the legs look all things but natural. 😉 Which is why I still like ASIMO better. =)
