<a name='more'></a>He said in the movie any time the general ordered something the soldiers were saying “Bas Ustune” and the badly translated subtitles were saying “With Pleasure”. I explained him that it is a phrase used in military and also in the common daily language but it sounds like “Bagas Ustune” and was not sure if the “Bas” meant really head or not. Then I checked and indeed it means head. I could not find the etymological roots but will look into it again. Another example of that most people use phrases without knowing what it exactly means (Bahs Ustune?, Bagas Ustune, Bagis Ustune, Bas Ustune???). It is also funny that that I learn more about Turkish and history by talking to foreigners than talking to other Turks, maybe because when Turks talk they repeat the indoctrinated teachings and there is nothing to learn…werhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10582032136711601638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611816.post-69561391029157394212009-09-15T14:13:00.003-04:002009-09-23T23:05:16.221-04:00Ideas about my BlogI am planning to create some workflow around my blog posting process. I am planning to make some entries<br />
<a name='more'></a> “live”, meaning I will start them and continue working on them. I might create an index page where I display all these entries, or even I might change the home page to be a static page displaying a welcome message, some links, and maybe a summary for newest posts. For that I might need to play with the template. Although I understand the basics behind the template file I am not sure if I am willing to spend to much time with it. We will see.werhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10582032136711601638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611816.post-6838774616477110502009-09-15T14:08:00.004-04:002009-09-15T14:15:57.224-04:00Finally blog migratedAfter using Wordpress on my own server for 4 years I decided it is time to move to the cloud. I have other plans for my server. At that time I liked the fact that I could upload and share papers and my code without any restrictions but today online storage is freely available and easy to configure. I can change everything about Blogger including templates to a level that it looks like it is not on Blogger. I am now trying to finish the forwarding settings for my domain on Godaddy. It does not work as “advertised” :) Need to figure out what to change exactly. So far I did the following for migration:<br />
<ol><li>Exported content from all my other Blogspot blogs and imported them into my main blog.</li>
<li>Exported my Wordpress blog content than converted the xml file into blogger import format and imported that into my main blog.</li>
<li>Searched and found a new template.</li>
<li>Customized the new template, added some gadgets.</li>
<li>Found a javascript tool that converts some format of latex into nice equations. It works perfectly and I think it will work perfectly for what I want to do: $$ \pi=\sqrt{sample} $$</li>

I wanted to keep the information I find from different sources in a well thought manner. Well... that does not happen easily. There are too many categories things belong to, too many "one-to-many", "many-to-many" relationships. It also does not help that one day you type longer and make a good description and the other day you get lazy and only put a link, which does not make any sense 2 weeks later.<br />So I started looking around for a framework that would force me to be more structured. Ultimately I am planning to use this blog to keep a diary of my research. And when you do research you think of many different subjects all floating around without any solid ties to anything, but you have some idea how they might relate to other things. Writing down a sentence does not capture that soft relationship. One needs to be forced to write down all the details, so that it can be used later.<br />Finally 2 days ago I found something that might work: <a href="http://structuredblogging.org/">Structured Blogging</a> plugin for Wordpress. From now on I am planning to move onto the templates for structured blogging plugin. They provide a template and force you to fill in required information. When you edit, the underlying data is well structured. The diary format turns into a database format, that can be maintained. Dividing the usefull information into bins helps a lot. When displayed it looks like a single coherent post but in the background it is a collection of sub data structures.<br />I will try to use it as much as possible in the future. I will post an update how things go.<br /><br /><br />Technorati Tags: <a rel="tag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/StructuredBlogging">StructuredBlogging</a>werhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10582032136711601638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611816.post-12617667195264646102006-01-05T10:09:00.000-05:002009-09-06T12:36:56.176-04:00The articles I read and plan to readI mentioned CiteUlike before. I use it to store articles that I read or plan to read. It keeps all the relevant referencing information, links to the journals and even to the PDF if you uploaded one. This way I can access the papers I am interested in from anywhere. It is also nice to be able to search for papers by title, author, abstract etc. Sometimes you find papers by looking at other people's libraries. If they share same tastes as you do the chance that they have interesting articles is also high.<br /><br />You can reach my library from this link: <a href="http://www.citeulike.org/user/okarsligil">Orhan's library</a><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/PapersResearchCitation" rel="tag"></a><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Citation" rel="tag"></a>werhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10582032136711601638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611816.post-6685543295253912372006-01-04T15:46:00.000-05:002009-09-06T12:36:56.162-04:00Guy Kawasaki's Blog<div class='vcard'> <h3 class='fn'><span class='given-name'>Guy</span> <span class='family-name'>Kawasaki</span></h3> <p><b>Job</b>: <span class='title'>VC (founder)</span>, at <span class='org'>Garage.com</span></p> <p><b>Blog</b>: <a class='url' href='http://blog.guykawasaki.com/'>“Let the Good Times Roll” by Guy Kawasaki</a></p> <p><b>Profile</b>: <p>More about history of Guy Kawasaki can be found at his blog:<br/><br/><a href="http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2005/12/to_build_a_case.html"> History and Story of Guy Kawasaki</a></p></p> </div> <br/><script type="application/x-subnode; charset=utf-8"><br/> <!-- the following is structured blog data for machine readers. --><br/> <subnode xmlns:data-view="http://www.w3.org/2003/g/data-view#" data-view:interpreter="http://structuredblogging.org/subnode-to-rdf-interpreter.xsl" xmlns="http://www.structuredblogging.org/xmlns#subnode"><br/> <xml-structured-blog-entry xmlns="http://www.structuredblogging.org/xmlns"><br/> <generator id="wpsb-1" type="x-wpsb-post" version="1"/><showcase firstname="Guy" lastname="Kawasaki" type="showcase/person"><address state="CA" country="USA"/><job employer="Garage.com">VC (founder)</job><blog url="http://blog.guykawasaki.com/">“Let the Good Times Roll” by Guy Kawasaki</blog><description>More about history of Guy Kawasaki can be found at his blog:<br/><br/><a href="http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2005/12/to_build_a_case.html"> History and Story of Guy Kawasaki</a></description></showcase><br/> </xml-structured-blog-entry><br/> </subnode><br/> </script>werhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10582032136711601638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611816.post-79447583392629351972006-01-04T11:25:00.000-05:002009-09-06T12:36:56.153-04:00Deal Finder Search EngineIf you are looking for cool deals on internet there are couple site people visit regularly.
