Hi everyone,
I have 11 Google Wave invites left. You want it? Just drop a comment with your gmail username(or any other e-mail address I guess, but I haven’t tested). Use [at] instead of @ and [dot] instead of ‘.’ to be protected from spam bots though.
First come, first served..
Update: None left! 
If I get more, I’ll post them here again.

So.. if you are here, you probably bought your laptop from a country different from the one you are originating from and want to change it to your local language.
Hmm.. So you google a bit and realize that you can’t do that unless you are using an Ultimate/Enterprise version of Vista. Well, there is an unofficial way to achieve your aim.
Note: This probably violates the EULA of Microsoft, so carry on at your own risk.

Last friday, I quit my current part-time job where I have been working for the last year and a month. Why did I do it?, some people ask.
Well, it certainly was a hard decision. They actually allowed me to be a full-time employee and also go on with my masters education at Sabancı University(SU). (..and, it is probably one of the best companies to work for in Turkey)

Of course; I was trying to get a thread dump using jstack here. You would need to change the command that Runtime.exec() executes to your liking.
Process threadDump=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("jstack -l "+pid);
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(threadDump.getInputStream()));
while(true)
{
String line=br.readLine();
if(line==null)
break;
else {
//Do whatever you want
}

Use the following sample code to get the pid(process id) on *nix variants, after running it as a command from Java using Runtime.exec() .
The command variable, in my case, was running another Java application.
try {
Process process=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String [] {"sh","-c",command+" & echo $!"} );
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));String ps=br.readLine();
int pid=Integer.valueOf(ps);
} catch (IOException e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e2.printStackTrace();
}

So what do you think?
Not that this is a great invention; as it has already been done before on other phones(e.g. Mac OS or Windows 95 on N800 on the Maemo platform) using emulators; but it is nice to know that it is indeed possible.

I’ve created a simple validity checker desktop application for Rapidshare links.
I am giving out the source code and the binary, in case anyone is interested.

Hi everyone! I have been inactive in the blog lately, but since school is over, I will now be able to devote more time and attention here.
I attended a MS certification exam recently(well, last week), thanks to Microsoft’s free exam voucher for students, and I passed it 
So I am now officially a MCP.
The exam that I sat for was “TS: Microsoft .NET Framework: Application Development Foundation” btw.
Anyway, just wanted to share the news. See ya!
