Yet Another Day ...

12:22pm, I have started an open source project "graphs-for-android" http://code.google.com/p/graphs-for-android/. I'm thinking of putting the code of dynamic charts on it and making it free for all . Sab kuch free main use kerna aur phir wapis community ko kuch wapis nahi kerna acha nahi lagta :). Arsalan ki team wapis building A shift hogaye hai ... 4th Floor pe wapis rush berh gaya hai. Still we haven't been able to start neuro robotic arm. Kal ki kuch success ke baad lag reha hai shayad modified code chal jaye (connection main phir problems expected hain ... ) . 12:28pm, Listening to song "Bheegi yadain by Atif Aslam" :)) 5:17pm, Abhi tak toh ON nahi huwa hai myomo device, aur jo meeting thi 5:30 pe woh bhe shayad na ho ... pura din main farig tha :))

Project Crisis

The Neuro Robotic arm arrived on Monday. Us ko connect kernaye ki koshish ki toh connect nahi ho reha . Upon searching stackoverflow.com and other related websites ek possible hal nikla hai to program it using Android Bluez library. Leken masla yeh hai ke Neuro arm is a device with an embedded chip in it. Ab kon hai jo coding keraye ga is ke andar ??? I am going to try some programming in it , but at the moment it seams difficult to me ... TODO: We have to make "Android Phone as a client (i.e. the phone that connects)" to "Neuro Arm which acts as a server (i.e. it accepts a connection initiated to it by any device)". NOT TODO : We cannot make "Android phone as a server (that accepts a connection)" and "Neuro Arm as a client (that tries to connect) ... means the assumption that the arm is giving bluetooth signals to connect when turned "ON" by my PM is wrong" As part of an experiment I tried to connect Android and my Samsung mobile.

Every true programmer needs motivation from time to time ...

10:26 am , Just came to office a couple of minutes back and was going through my email and saw one by Aamir regarding a Windows Phone 7 app contest that was won by a student of Fast and an employee of Pi-Labs :) I am wondering now that I have been working here for quite some time now and I haven't been able to make one application ... what the hell am i doing here man ... I should do something too . While I am writing this post , I am also wondering whether to continue posting in English or should I turn to Roman Urdu , or may be try a mix of both ... just a kind of thing i needed to keep me thinking all day ... bye for now , going to do some work ;) . 10:50 am , hmm, since my PM has not come yet and I have no considerable work to do I am now self exploring Groovy on Grails. Also I have just added Twitter widget now to my blog :) 2:54pm , I have decided that from tomorrow my posts will be Roman Urdu + English both to make my self express more. At the moment it looks dry. I have go

What the heck is network socket ?

Its 10:55 am , I am in office and have just received work to explore android network socket .. We are exploring if two applications on android can communicate to each other through means of socket ... Will update after I have done the research ... Basically what I have to do is start a server on some port (e.g port 13 ) and let the client connect to that port and then pass some commands to each other ... Now what am I thinking is that , do I have to give some server IP to client to connect to or not ... I am feeling I might have to give that too ... (Doing more research ... :) ) 12:11pm ... I have just learned through my PM Rashid that I was in the wrong direction in my research ... the latest direction is something like that We have android A, and Android B , both of them have Application A that are communicating through Bluetooth ... Android A (Running Application A) -------- Bluetooth ----> Android B (Running Application A) Now there is a Flash application that wants to comm
