I just finished watching Demetri Martin in "Person". His material is really incredible and brilliant! I managed to cut this one minute of his show when he was describing Straws and Ice cubes.
Yesterday I watched The Mummy (Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) and it really sucked. The first two releases of The Mummy had a decent sense of humor & continuos series of event kept happening plus not seeing Rachel Weisz here made it a little odd.
If you are working with Oracle applications databases at work or even during your studies you will know something for sure, dealing with SQL*Plus is a nightmare and sooner you will realize its not a productive tool for developers nor administrators. So, most developers use TOAD which is incredibly smart, easy to use and double your productivity with exports option, history, table structure views and much more. Today, I tried googling for the oracle tools and I stumbled upon this new Oracle SQL Developer which was released sometime during this year.
I've been using it all day in the morning and it is very interesting. first of all, its FREE and you can do exactly the things you can do with a TOAD only that with Oracle SQL Developer you are using Oracle product! I noticed though it retrieves data a but slower than TOAD but I assume it was something to do with me using a virtual machine at that moment. The beautiful part, it is a cross platform in the sense you can run it on your windows, mac or even linux desktop as long as you have java runtime environment.
I just had one incredibly long day, my office hours keep getting longer and longer without even me noticing. Any who, I got this email earlier this morning from a friend and I just had to upload the video. I couldn't resist, its just too Chinese-like! Would you eat?
First of all, just want to wish Pakistani's readers and happy independence day. I personally thought its a very cool offer from Zain, you can send messages (sms) to Pakistan now for only 20 fils instead of 50 fils and only for the 14th of August, 2008.
By far this is the best Batman movie I've seen, when Jack Nicholson did The Joker in 1989 reviewers wrote that no one can be a better fit for this role. Since I saw the Dark Knight last week and am thinking what could I blog about it? Unlike the new hollywood movies, this one is very unpredictable and very entertaining. All I can say is, you have got to see it!
Today I was driving AlShahbandr to his place and he was talking about the AUX port in my car. then, I realized why i have not blogged about this before? well, from my experience with AUX its very practical but for this sake you will miss many advantages. It will make connecting to almost any music player as easy as plug and play but you definitely cannot browse the content from the steering wheel or stereo itself. Plus, am on a shuffle so my only way to find a track is to push next until its on..
I was just watching the Beijing 2008 olympics opening and I was looking up the preparations for this huge event. Truly, china will make an impact with the amazing things they've done, the airport built on 1 million square meters with recently completed subway [Ref YouTube]. You can see the updates on the olympics youtube channel [Channel]
Good night every one my mental battery is shutting down!
I promised something original before the weekend starts, I've been trying to figure out how to cut videos and place them into my post because this one is very original. Before a while, I got a chance to see Planet Earth from BBC its around 11 episode each one targeting a specific world. In the sense, the ice world, the jungles, seas, shallow waters..etc.
I would have to say, each episode is unique and has at least 1 or 2 scenes that will put you in a shock. Well, by that I mean, you will witness something new to your eyes. For instinct, I knew that polar bear can swim but I never saw any swimming polar bear before, during the Ice World episode I really enjoyed that scene and kinda felt sorry for them having to swim miles in search of food. Also in the same episode there is part where it shows you the survival of penguins during the harsh winter season and how male penguins group together to warm one another and save their eggs while female leave in search for food.
