Title says it all.

Now there is a reason to blog more often! Say hi to my iPhone 4S!

Chief Research and Strategy Officer of Microsoft, Craig Mundie, gave an awesome lecture at McGill today. He gave bunch of demos of new human-computer interaction systems. The most interesting one in my opinion was the 3D camera that modelled a person’s face instantly and translated what he is saying and displaying the modelled face with gestures. It was simply an amazing experience.

Recently, I have changed my host which brought about lots of other things to do. Since I started publishing my website in 2006, I was using emiraydin.net as my primary domain because someone got .com before me in 2005. I acquired .com domain in late 2007 and redirected it to .net. So, .com was redirecting to .net for past 3 years. However, I instantly decided to use .com as my primary and left my worries about PageRank, SEO, etc. behind. I am now using .htaccess 301 redirect from .net domain to .com domain which relieved  my SEO concerns. From now on, emiraydin.com will be my primary domain.

Also, I’ve played with the code of the think bubble on the top of the webpage because the script could not get my Twitter status when Twitter was down and thus was causing a fatal error. I wrote a new script for that which will tell when Twitter is down instead of giving meaningless error messages causing to a mess in whole webpage’s view.

In addition to these recent changes, you will also see me setting up new projects very soon.

I have created my new the Beatles playlist, and listening to it frequently. Don’t take the rankings in order since I love all of these songs, but I love the ones at the top more : )
Without further ado, here are my top Beatles songs:

1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
2. All My Loving
3. All You Need is Love
4. Hey Jude
5. I’ve Just Seen a Face
6. I Me Mine
7. Strawberry Fields Forever
8. Across the Universe
9. Come Together
10. A Day in Life (also listen to Jeff Beck’s solo version, it’s cool)
