Integrated Development Environment for Control Systems using Mobile Phones

UNIFIED CONCEPT IN CONTROL ENGINEERING

This is the unified concept that I’m planning to send to nokia as my entry for this years competition. The electronics stuff is very easy and can be done by any beginners, engineers, technicians and hobbyist.

I’m just trying to show that the idea can be done.

Unfortunately, I think I have no more time to develop dedicated applications for Nokia devices and Web Apps.

It will only work for SMS for now.

If I will win in this contest there is the possibility that I’m going to develop dedicated applications that can sync to WIFI enabled phones or Internet enabled phones and create a unified concept that can be used in desktop and in any kind of cellphones such as android devices, windows phone 7 (or windows mobile), iphone and other phones.

Although using SMS you can do that.

In Layman's Terms…

• What if I wanted to control everything in my house? e.g. garage door, power outlets, lights and many devices using my phone.
• What if I wanted to monitor all the temperatures, sensors and power in my house remotely?
• What if I wanted to create all the projects that won last year in just few minutes? (very fast and it can be done by anyone)

MORE DEVELOPMENT

The project is in its very early stage and most of the things that I used like casing and parts was recycled and came from old switching devices for printers.

I’m also using reconditioned cheap Nokia 3100 to became part of the effort to recycle all the devices that we can used.

DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM

I created the IDE for Rapid Development application showing that the concept can be done using mobile phones in just few minutes!

 

Hope I’ll win! Please stay tuned for more updates!

Legal way to get Office 2010 Product Key for Free

I spent a lot of time this week checking and creating new concepts for the new softwares that I might released for public. WinGuggle for XP caught my attention because I need to update the system summary bug of the program and product key recovery feature in preparation for the incoming Office 2010 by Microsoft.

 

For the incoming months, there’s a need for me for mobility and my Latitude d630 Laptop is getting bulkier and difficult to bring anywhere so I decided to buy a new limited edition of HP mini-laptop 110-1000.

Expensive for blogging and not recommended for people having some financial difficulties this year. But for me, It will be used for the manufacturing of new softwares for Windows 7 and Vista and participation on the competitions being offered by Nokia and Intel on their platforms this year.

Gambling is not my thing but I decided to go for it. This is not my first time to by a new mini laptop (or famous for its “netbook” names). Last year I bought an EEPC 1000 version but after several weeks of testing, It was too slow for me that I sell it after 2 months of used.

Anyway, HP 110-1000 is really good and the speed is *enough* for programmers and recommended for bloggers. It’s 9-10 months since the released world wide and some of the limited versions was manufactured in Malaysia so, It’s not expensive anymore for a Single Core dual threaded Intel processor.

How Did I Received the Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key?

I talked to one of the people around the store and I said to them that I’m going to buy the laptop if they will give me FREE accessories or any software that can be added because the laptop is not new anymore (for its version).

The lady manager of the store sits on the yellow chair and talked to me that she will give me a free software along with the laptop. hahahaha :D

After several minutes of talking she said, “ok I’m going to give you the MS Office Home and Student 2007”.

Looking at the retailer version and the sticker confirms that It’s eligible for Office 2010 Tech Guarantee, I decided to say “yes” for the offer saving 149.99 dollars :) Better than using Torrents files!

Mini Laptop Cost

$453 - $149.99 = 303.01 dollars only, wow! the Cheapest Laptop  Available!

Eligible for the Office 2010 Tech Guarantee Sticker

Office 2010 downloads will be accessible at general availability. Discs can be ordered for a free. Eligible Office 2007 software must be purchased from Microsoft or an authorized reseller and activated between March 5, 2010 and September 30, 2010.

Deadlines

Request your Office 2010 Product Key by October 31, 2010 using your activated Office 2007 Product Key and dated sales receipt.

Office 2010 Tech Guarantee Limitations

One Office 2010 product per qualifying Office 2007 purchase, limit 25 per person. See the details at www.office.com/techg.

Hope this helps!

Yahoo Mail Account Hack! Detect if opened in another location

This is an emulation of the new feature of Gmail to provide an enterprise Bank-Style IP security for emails. My workaround hack provides real-time detection if opened in another location, anywhere in the world!

This is a very simple solution for protecting your email account from hack in another location using yahoo messenger or yahoo mail.

How to detect if your mail has been hack or used by another person

• Set your yahoo mail to sign-in automatically to yahoo chat once you login.

• ALWAYS sign-in to your yahoo messenger account and if another person hack your email account in another location. you’ll get this message.

“You have been signed out because you signed in on a different computer or device”

- means another person used your account

• and vice-versa

“You have been disconnected from chat because you have signed into Yahoo! Messenger from another computer or device.”

It’s just a very simple logic with the same results with Google mail security but in real-time.

But there’s a down side with this trick, If the person manages to click “cancel” very fast, the trick is useless.

I used this and surprisingly it works! One of my friends manage to get my password through a zip cracker in one of my files.

:) long time ago.

Anyhow, Hope this helps!
