بالاخره کتابم چاپ و توزیع شد. کتابی که سه سال طول کشید، برای نوشته و چاپ شدن. جلدش کاملا سفید است. و روی آن، عنوان کتاب و اسم من نوشته شده است. همین طور یک عکس سیاه و سفید از من. عکسی که تقریبا نصف جلد کتاب را اشغال کرده است. آن‌جا توی عکس، روی یک صندلی نشسته‌ام. با یک بک‌گراوند مات. یک کلاه پشمی سرم کرده‌ام. یک کت کبریتی تنم است. و زیر کت، ...

Incomplete buildings (3)

by Nicolas Nova (0) on

Pasta&Vinegar (0) 2 weeks ago permalink

Incomplete buildings are something that fascinate me. The raw backbone of the buildings looks as if it had been never finished or strip naked after a momentarily stopped renovation. To me, the city of the near future definitely looks like this sort of architecture. And this fascination is not just poetic, it’s a very recurring encounter in lots of cities due to economic and cultural issues in construction. For example, the picture above has been ...

West African Inspired Peanut Stew (1)

The Vegan Mouse (0) 2 weeks, 5 days ago permalink

I dig peanut butter in recipes. Whenever I see one that calls for it, I'm there. This recipe I got from the May/Jun 07 issue of Vegetarian Times. You can also find it online here. I've made this once before and I had used canned tomatoes with added green chiles in it and little did I know that my mouth would be on fire after one bite of the stew! I'm Thai and the Thai-ness ...

http://www.youtub... Imagine this, in a few weeks we may have a president who can comment intelligently on Jay-Z’s ‘American Gangster’, materialism in hip-hop and use slang like “Be down” and “Keep it real” without sounding ridiculous. It is a strange and amazing moment in America. Hip-hop generation indeed. In nine days I think we’ll start talking a little more about non-political matters and more about music, etc but for now pre-election mania continues. Also, for ...

HP said to be considering making its own OS to counter Vista (1)

by Donald Melanson (7) on

Engadget (168) 2 months, 2 weeks ago permalink

Filed under: DesktopsHP unsurprisingly isn't ready to touch this one in any sort of official way just yet, but BusinessWeek is reporting that at least some folks at the company are "exploring the possibility of building a mass-market operating system," which would be positioned as an alternative to Vista. That OS, as you might have guessed, would be based on Linux, although BusinessWeek's sources say it "would be simpler and easier for mainstream users." By ...

Africa’s Internet Exchange Points (Map) (1)

by HASH (0) on

White African (0) 4 months, 3 weeks ago permalink

Last week I talked about Google’s Global Cache, and how they will be housing this new project at Internet Exchange Points (IXP). A quote from Wikipedia’s definition explains the importance of IXPs best. “The primary purpose of an IXP is to allow networks to interconnect directly, via the exchange, rather than through one or more 3rd party networks. The advantages of the direct interconnection are numerous, but the primary reasons are cost, latency, and bandwidth. ...
