AtomFilms Hi-Def

Through a little bit of surfing I stumbled across this funny little gem through Atom Films. Maybe not exactly 'little', but still funny.

The wonderful world of serial communications.

A particular project I am working on requires me to listen in on the serial communications between two computers. This means I have to get a little more familiar with the
RS-232 protocol.

I also found Listen32, a nifty tools to do just what I need to have done.

Freeware Hex Editor XVI32

I was looking for a hex editor for Windows2000 to look at some serial port capture files. Luckily I came across this one. Many thanks to Christian Maas.

Islam and prisoners of war

I have never read the Quran, but I had heard from people who did that the Islam teachings state that Islamic captors should not harm their prisoners. This article from the Kashmir Herald, a Hindu newspaper, may be biased against Islam but it seems that the references the author uses are authentic and carry at least some authority in the matter.

Islam and prisoners of war

I do not favor of one religion over another, so don't think I'm trying to bash Islam or something like that but the recent murder of Nicholas Berg made me think how the two could be lined up with each other.

We live in difficult times.

First post

Today I found the link in Google to this Blogger service. I have been interested in a personal weblog ever since a friend of mine started one himself. I'm not a computer-wiz like him so I never understood how to do one myself. This Blogger service seems easy. I'll try to keep it interesting and organized.
