I have been working on some projects lately for my classes and others for money. One of the project I was doing is a web based program for senior students project on Petruleom Engineering department. The goal of the program is to find how long the oil will last in Kuwait. In addition, the program should find the maximum production and the year of maximum production.
So far it seems easy, but the hard part is coming.. drawing the chart!. Okay, that sounds easy for me at the begining, but after thinking for awhile I realize that will consume time. I start by looking for an open source of a chart program. Searching for over 12hours for charting program on JAVA or ActionScript. All I can find are the ones you have to pay ALOT of money just to make one. Therefore, I decided to make the charting program from scratch.
Adobe Flash’s Actionscript 2 was the language I decided to use for the program. The reason is because I’m going to make the program a web based program which loads on a webpage and works there. Java was my second option because first I’m more experienced on ActionScript than Java, and second because I didn’t have much time to waste on a language I’m less experienced in since final exam was close.
The first kind of graph/chart needed is “scattered xy” with a linear regression line. Arrghh, looking for linear regression equation really exhausted me because I was using the wrong term when searching for it for many hours. I’ll take about it in details in coming posts.
The second kind of the chart is scattered xy with nonlinear regression curve. But I won’t figure out this curve’s equation, I’ll just use the given data to draw the curve. Its almost the same as the first graph idea in coding, just needed to include few more stuffs.
I highly recommend computer geeks and new developers to watch this.
For all starwars lovers and fans (I’m one of them), friday was the 30th anniversary of starwars. 30 years passed since the first release of starwars movie in theater.
Hurry up George Lucas and release Star wars VII, I can’t wait to watch it!
Today I recieved a newsletter from Erain announcing their new program Harmony which should be available on market this summer. Harmony transforms SWF files into XAML-markup which is used in Microsoft WPF and in the new up coming SilverLight.
Okay.. this is really funny
I decided to go back to Final Fantasy XI Online after quitting the game for 6 month. I miss the game and I feel very happy that I’m going to play it again. I know I am very busy with my college and other important things I’m doing, but I’m only going to play it on my free time.
I start playing FFXI after the US release of the game on PC at the end of 2003. That was the year when I was senior on high school, and I still wonder how on earth I got good grades while playing this game everyday. Its an online game or to be more precise its a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game [MMORPG]. I stop playing FFXI at the end of 2006 and I’m going to start playing it today. Here are some pictures which are 2 years old and my name on the game is Squalleye:

I was surfering the web as normally I do, checking updates on technology and computer related news and blogs and I come across a title “Microsoft to battle Adobe Flash with ‘Silverlight’” .. and I was like ‘what the heck!’. I went to google and searched for Silverlight to gain some informations about it.
It seems that Microsoft is now going for Rich Internet Application and compete with Adobe Flash. That’s a big step for microsoft towards the greed of controling the computer world which is natural since its a corporation and wants more money. I think that’s what will make Adobe and Microsoft compete on developing better Flash and better Silverlight application.
