Technology

I saw a kid, who was using some machinery on his ears. That small 'computers' made him able to hear. Since he hears using those, his speech was not that good, because speech is just imitated hearing. But, can you imagine how happy it is for him and for his parents that he, who most probably could not hear and speak without those devices, can now both hear and speak? If, the technology can greatly improve even only that one person's life, then it is worth. From now on, no one can tell me technology is making things worse...
And by the way, computer science rocks :)

Einstein was a knowledgeable man

I came accross the following the previous day. Supposedly, Einstein said it. But the quote is more important than the owner:

"A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it."

I strongly believe this is true, especially since I'm trying to write a conference paper.

Best Translation Award (given by Cengiz)

I got the "Best Translation Award" from Cengiz for the following translation of a Turkish song. You can listen to them from my voice if you'd like.

The original is:

Hatırla sevgilim
O mesut geceyi
Çamların altında
Verdiğin buseyi

Beni mesut ettin
Sen de olasın
Aşkımı inkar edersen
Allah'tan bulasın



My translation is:

Remember my dear
That happy night together
That kiss you gave to me
Under the willow tree

You made me very happy
May you be happy too
But if you deny my love to you
Then I am cursing you

on IDEs (Integrated Development Environments)

Nowadays IDEs show which right parenthesis or brace matches which left one. They should at least do the following two things:

- Instead of showing just the one on the right or left of the caret, show both.

-- Even better, they should color every left one with different color, and color the right one with the color of whichever left it's ending. For example, the first left parenthesis can always be red and I can thus know I should put right parenthesis until I get to the red one.
