New photo and old thoughts

New photo and old thoughts

I was just practicing on online-image-editor and look what I made

Looks good to me but I am not going to use it anywhere.

Something once I made for my geocities account banner,

similar to this animation.

But that was made via pure html.

Images for youtube, googleplus and blogspot

Images for
youtube, google+ and blogspot

Today I updated images for youtube channel art, google+ cover and blogger/blogspot blog banner.

First I searched on google and got some ideas from net then tried to make images on different sites online. But was not able to do so. There for searched for tried and tested site and then made these images with the help of site picturetopeople.. It is simple to work with.

(1) - youtube channel art:

This image was made with help of these sites:

a) - picturetopeople. and

b) - online-image-editor

And now in the night [2016Jul23Sat-PST02:02AM] I further changed it to this one. Because I was not happy with look and feel of the previous/above image.

And now in the moring [2016Jul23Sat-PST12:34AM] I further changed it to this one. Because I was not happy with background of previous one.By flipping vertical in ms paint it is ok now.

And now in the moring [2016Jul23Sat-PST12:19AM] I further changed it to this one. Because I was not happy with background of previous one.By flipping vertical in ms paint it is ok now.

Second I liked video in above clip and Third I liked music and lyrics in above clip and Fourth I reached at the following Source video. Of course by searching for it.

Title: Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - I Won't Back Down

Both clips are good but I liked video of first clip mostly because of snow filled landscape..

TEdit - Text editor in GW-Basic

TEdit - Text editor in GW-Basic

"TEdit" was name of Text Editor once I made in "GW-Basic" running on dos 2.x running on PC 286 with 1 MB ram. I do not know how and why but day before yesterday it came to my mind. I made that text editor to simulate EDIT from Microsoft and some features from Turbo C 2 IDE. And experience was very enjoyable.

Entire code of "TEdit" was running around a small loop checking for keyboard input. From that loop program was branching to subroutines on demand and there were a lot of subroutines. In "GW-Basic" program size limit was 64k and "TEdit" was touching that limit.

During and after making "TEdit" I was really feeling proud of myself because of it’s features.

I want to, but cannot put any screen shots of “TEdit” here because I do not have any. Although I do have “TEdit” but have no computer to run it. Because “TEdit” was saved on floppy disk 720K (double-density), only storage device attached to my that PC 286.

And after “TEdit” came to my mind and I wrote about it here, also came into my mind a chess game also made by me in "GW-Basic" running on Dos 2.x running on PC 286 with 1 MB ram.

I was really excited when that chess game for the first time made a move on it's own. It's size was also near 64k and most of it's lines were near 255 bytes long (max limit for code line).

I still really love that setup and time. Then I used to dream of making an OS for pc also.

[ Note: Whenever I remember their correct date, I'll share that here. Also whenever I will be able to run these softwares I will share their screen shots here. ]

If there are any mistakes then I will surely remove them whenever found.

Parks I Visit (2014) Feb 04 Tue

An Elephant in Fatima park for enjoyment and entertainment of children. This elephant's manufacturer's name, address and date of it's installation here is also written on it's back. According to that information it is quit old. But I do not remember that information now and also now a days I do not go there so cannot collect that information as well. But I will try to get that information.

Parks I Visit (2013) May 23 Thu

Following is a photo of some ducks enjoying their time in Fatima park. According to gardener of park they were donated to park by some major recently. They are a good addition to park. It looks good to see them moving in park always in group and making some sound in otherwise silent park.

Although they are usually very playful but if someone comes close to them they usually become very angry. Especially I found it very difficult to take photos of them or making their video from short distance. They used to not only attack but also make very loud noise. Other then 2 or 3 males others were very calm by nature.

This leaf is of a plant in ex "CBM Park" which is now called "Community Park". Outer shape of this leaf is given by gardener of park and is looking artistic while inner rainbow style marking in lighter colors is natural and is looking very good to me.

I liked this leaf so much that I took some photo of it with my mobile Nokia c1-01.

Parks I Visit (2013) Jun 23 Sun

These are fruits from a tree growing outside of ex “CBM Park” and now “Community Park”. In it's season tree gives a lot of fruits. I took some fruits from that tree and came in park, sat on grass and ate all of those fruits. Their taste was not any good and they were gum like. Anyway . . . I ate all of them although at one time I was thinking weather I was doing right or not. But nothing wrong happened to me. I ate those fruits in 2013 and now it is 2016.

I was introduced to these fruits by Wing Cmdr Manzar Hameed and his wife once told me that LASORA's are used for making achars ”pickles”.

This is close-up of a flower from a tree in “CBM Park” now named “Community Park”. In it's season tree gives a lot of flowers and make tree's surrounding area very pleasant because of it's flower's fragrance.

Other then it's attractive smell I also like it's design. Because of it's unique design this flower, with single seed, can fly with breeze and go far away thus spreading this tree to near and distant places.

China Rose - Yellow

China Rose - Yellow

Once upon a time I used to ask my gardener Haroon, who was a very good person and was from some village near Abbottabad, to search for more colors of china rose. Red color china rose was already in our home’s lawn. After a lot of search one day in one nursery I found yellow color china rose and I was really excited. Price was also OK so I quickly purchased and planted it in a flower bed of our home’s lawn myself. I really liked the process from searching for to finding to bargaining to purchasing to planting this flower in our home’s lawn.

For around two years that china rose plant gave very good looking large light yellow color flowers but after that plant died. Although I tried my best to save that china rose plant.

After watching so many good looking high-rise buildings in different TV programs a desire on its own built into me to make something like those buildings in Pakistan also. So I made some building designs, as shown in following images, using Eshaal's toys. I made some other building design as well using different materials and I will share them in future posts.

I also made some plan to make building like these on ground in real world but I will write about them in some future posts here.

This mobile was given to me
as a present
on
my 50th birthday;

I used this mobile’s camera a lot
for
taking photos
and
making videos.
But now
this mobile's camera is almost retired.

All active "in use" ringtones in this mobile are made by me and are in my own voice :)

[Note] I took these photos with Ishi's mobile Nokia-200.

Pigeon's eggs in a roshandan of our home

Pigeon's eggs in a roshandan of our home

These are eggs of Myna in roshandan “skylight and ventilating window” of one of bathroom of our home. Out of all, 3 roshandans “skylight and ventilating window”, all facing west direction, are reserved by Pigeons and Mynas with their nests and a lot of activity all around the year.

Pigeons are relatively silent birds but Mynas are very, very noisy, especially male Myna often makes very loud noise.

You can see Myna's nest here
