Once Facebook’s feed used to be very useful informing you about the updates of friends by their status, . I feel my Facebook feed has been hijacked by redundant and time wasting posted videos. So I wrote a small GreaseMonkey script to filter out posted videos. Here it is:

In certain situations particularly when dealing with networks and distributed systems you’d want your program to retry certain a particular operation certain number of times in case it fails before giving up.

I use this small utility function for debugging certain Python scripts, especially those for processing data, e.g. moving some bits of information to Excel.

if sys.platform == ‘win32′:

My experience with the Electrical Engineers in academics is that they usually view Computer Science in terms of circuits and details of how things work at the most tangible level. One hazard of using this approach in teaching is that many times you end up with some wrong core concepts of Computer Science. They enable [...]
Standalone scripts and cron jobs are integral part of any significantly complex web based application. We use them in our applications for health monitoring, mails sending, computing scores and ratings, deferred tasks and job queues such as video processing etc.
To make a python script work which uses django’s functionality, you need to have the required [...]
We have added a new feature at See’n'Report. It now provides each user with a personal sub-domain URL. The URL maintains user’s profile which lists all the photo reports submitted by the user. For example my See’n'Report profile URL is http://sharjeel.seenreport.com/.

It is so simple that students don’t expect such simplicity and hence it starts appearing complex to them”. Then he wrote MOV AX, BX on the board, explained it and asked if everyone understood it.

Many great hackers and programmers do not consider Java programming language a good choice. The safety features of Java such as pure OO, strong typing etc. force its users to laboriously write lots of classes, declare and typecast variables, call extraneous methods to fetch simple data and puts under a lot of restrictions. Such techniques [...]
