Approximated Euclidean Beauty

Today we learned how to project isometrically. It has some very useful approximation. The whole thing appeared strange to me. Like we approximated an ellipse with four arcs. We still don't know how to convert a 2D Projection into isometric projection. Like, we have to build a iso'scale', so that we can convert 2D distance into isometrics distances and then blah blah blah.

It was fun altogether!

Thoughts from High Level to Low Level

When I try to program in C nowadays, my minds has to do some effort to think it in low level. In Python you only think about the algorithm in the light of the abstract features of the language. But in C, you need to consider a lot more aspects e.g. memory. As my practice changed from C to Python, I sometimes just cannot think in Low Level, sometimes it is just a mental inertia, sometimes it is just the lack of practice.

LED Train Shifting

I corrected the circuit, my previous post has a mistake in the Schematic. So I posted it here. A new schematic this is. I used 4 ICs to do this simple job. I am trying to find better alternatives. I used a NE555 in astable mode, HEF4017 decade counter, HEF4072 OR gate and 74HC595 shift register.

If there is two, let there be two...

At last, my old blog [Link] is online again. I think I am gonna keep both the blogs. This blog I will specialize in science and technology stuffs. And on that, all the other stuff that I think I can talk about.

About this new blog

I have been blogging for about two years. I used to blog almost everything that I thought could be in my blog, that would be better for flaunting. Like electronic circuits, math problems, philosophy etc etc. It was http://xenoargento.wordpress.com

Few days ago, while logging in my Google Talk, my password didn't match. Suddenly I got a bad feeling about that, and tested all the accounts I have online, and saw that many accounts including my Wordpress account died. It was disappointing. Two years of blogging just froze. I don't know whether they will keep my blog for long, if I stop logging in. I hope they do.

The word Mangosave I first heard in a game named Timeshock: Pro Pinball. There, the ball can be freezed for a brief moment at certain places on the board. This is called MangoSave. It is somewhat an enigmatic feature which doesn't give any special advantages of disadvantages to the players like me (n00b).

The mango is actually the most loved thing in the parts of the world, where I live and play. I just want to enjoy that!

Thus the name MangoSave I think!

Even with my new blog up and running, I am trying to recover my old blog. I cannot leave that to starve.

And talking about the good things; I now have the chance to test the Bloggers more flexible features that Wordpress didn't give me, e.g. JavaScript support, CSS editing etc. The Blogger interface is a bit different, that I will need to time to get used, while the Wordpress interface will be fading from my memories (Unless I recover my old blog). I always love to start something new!

The new blog...

This is my new blog. Actually some "good for nothing" hacker just blew my Wordpress password up, so I am forced to start a new blog. You can always visit my old blog at http://xenoargento.wordpress.com.
From now on I will be posting from on this blog...
Thanks for visiting, Folks!
