Happy Mother’s day to all mothers around the world. This is something small I made:

Finally, i got around changing Nima Heydarian’s website design. The current design is an old design. I took the template from somewhere else and put my own header image on it.

In less than a week, I’m moving the blog to a new, better, and faster server. I am upgrading and adding new plugins, improving the Gallery, and most importantly changing the web site’s design.

This design change along side design change of 3 of my other websites (i will post about them when I’m done with those as well), will hopefully boost the traffic and the site’s business

I will make a new post once the new design is up and explain where all the graphics on it has come.

Here is a Farsi Calligraphy I made.? It’s a Farsi poem written in calligraphy (Nastaligh)

If you recall, a while ago I put together a new PC for myself. It’s a pretty nice setup with two 22′ monitors. But this post is not about the PC itself, rather the OS (Operating System) on it.

I bought 8GB of memory with other components not knowing that Windows XP 32bit (what most people have) and Vista 32bit do not support more than 4GB of memory. So I had to go with either Windows XP 64x or Vista 64x. (I’m not a fan of Linux so that was out of question).

I ended up deciding for the Windows XP 64 bit. I use this PC mostly for my business and some of the business softwares still don’t run on Windows Vista. I’ve had the XP 64X on my computer for about 3 months now and today I am formatting my computer to install XP 32x. The main reason is even on XP 64x, a lot of softwares don’t work. I thought it was funny that even the new version of MSN messenger (a Microsoft software) doesn’t work on Windows XP 64x.

So bottom line, after two hours of backing up information right now, I am going to format this hard drive and install good old Windows XP 32 bit.

I bought this webcam about 3 weeks ago. It is my first webcam so my review is not really comparing the webcam to the other ones on market, rather commenting on pros and cons of this one.

In short, it is amazing. It is great. The quality of the videos/images are superb (up to 1600 by 1200 which is HD quality).

I haven’t had any problems getting it to work with any software other than Trillian. I don’t know why it doesn’t work fine with that, but I’ll write about it once I figure it out.

The features are very neat and plenty. You can choose for the camera to follow “Your Face” and move around as you do. You can replace some other face/image with your own while webcaming for privacy reasons. You can adjust the blur, brightness, contrast, and all those good things too. It also has a built-in microphone. The fact that it is on a tall stand is a nice feature by itself as you are not bound to put it on top of your monitor. You can actually move it around, use it on different computers (easily) and more.

It does have some drawbacks. At $129.99, it is a little pricey. Also, the fact that it has to mount (stay) on its tall stand, makes it hard to use the webcam with a laptop.
