Today, despite of my studies in the waiting list, I decided to wander around IBM island on Second Life to kill my boredom and get ready to study.

When I teleported to the island at first, I saw the big model of IBM area on second life in front of me. The model shows the structure of the area and names written on each structure. I was stunned with the design and look of the area.

And behind me its IBM Recruitment which seems a circular area with seats surrounding it from all directions.

The model shows the name of each area, when I click on the area it shows me the way to that area with an arrow in the screen and a mark on the map.

My first destination is Virtual Universe Community. The area is very huge, on my way I passed through IBM Theater as you can see in the screenshot. It’s like a conference area with a huge screen on the middle of the area.

As I entered the target building, there was a nicely designed fountain surrounded by circular stairs which I’m standing on it as in the screenshot.

Just next to me is the Guildmaster office to contact the community’s Guildmaster Boris Frampton. No one was on the office and there was a note on the table written on it the email address of the guildmaster.

I went up all the way to the end of the stairs, it is the conference room. In the board/screen, as you can see in the pictures, a schedule for next meeting is 14th June with some key points. Now its July so it seems it’s outdate!

I’ll continue the journey in next post which should be soon.

I have been searching the web for a documenting program for C++ codes. A program that I can write documentation of the code separated from the source code file. But I couldn’t find anything good or worth it. I have currently written a huge program in C++ and I’m finding some difficulties to keep tracking my codes so I was looking for a separated documenting program. If anyone knows a good program, please let me know by emailing me or posting a comment.

Anyway, I run across a webpage that explains guidelines to document a source code written in C++ and I’d like to share it. Here is the link. I also found phpDocumentation which I posted in this blog.

It is so frustrating to write documentation for my C++ codes in Microsoft Word especially when the source code contains over 4300 lines of code! and that considered to be a small program!

So if anyone knows a good program for documenting source codes for c++, please let me know by emailing me or posting a comment.

phpDocumentation is a php auto documentary program. It is used to write a documentation for your open source programs written in php. Here you can see an example of phpDocumentation used with the famous phpBB project.

I found this website as a link while browsing one of the websites on my favourites. It provides ready made flash components for flash developers which, of course, it’s not free!

Quoted from CNN.com: Microsoft will pay for shipping and repairs for three years, worldwide, for consoles that experience hardware failure, which is usually indicated by three flashing red lights on the front of the console, something gamers sometimes refer to as “the red ring of death.”
