I have suffered of very high prices for sending your documents required for university applications. Now I have found a very interesting site, basvurum.com, which is Turkish and offer very reasonable prices for students who wants to apply to universities/programs abroad.

I’ve just purchased my new domain: www.arifender.com

I’ll transfer my blog / personal site to this domain but everything related to webdesign, webprogramming etc. will stay in this site. This implementation will take a while and I’ll inform everyone about the updates.

I am seeking one or two buddies for the re-design and re-development of my new site.

The project will be very short and easy. People who have an interest in a collaboration with me for my website, please write a comment or pm me.

(I’m very busy with my full-time work, thus I can’t give my enough effort to this project.)

One of the users in turk-php.com forum sent me a personal message about a topic. He gave me a web address where I can find e-books (as PDF). I looked at it and the site has a very good, big book database. The site is called freebookspot.com and after searching with the keyword “php” it returned 4 pages of search results with the most popular php reference book on the market!

Take a look at it, I’m sure you will find what you seek.

Now we can create slides using Google Docs.

This week has been like a storm went over my stupid, boring life.  I needed to pre-apply to the university for my postgraduate education, Thank God I was off from the work on Friday to do the things required for application. On weekend there was nothing special, played some football, watched football, went to the seaside to play with our friend’s Labrador dog.

On Monday and Tuesday I was at a training, so I was still off (It has been 5 days in total! Woohoo!). The training was called “Applied Project Management” which I liked very much and think that it is very useful if you are tend to participate and/or manage in projects, especially in big ones. As soon as I got home, I installed MS Project to see what is it like and what can I do. Learning the methodology is the most important thing maybe but still we need to do some application, right?

Now I am back to work, sitting at my desk  and writing the good days I lived last week.

Next week I’ll be away from home, as soon as I come back again, I’ll write.

P.S.: The developments of new site are still going on but with a rush change the homepage will be different. I just want your more patience for a little while.

I couldn’t write anything this week because I was a little cold and needed to rest evenings. I was also in a Kaizen workshop which kept me very busy. I decided to write a wrap-up and also number it with “#1″. That’s a sign I can post in this way this also later again!

The first thing is Kaizen. It is a great philosophy and thanks to Toyota which company is the founder of this philosophy and also the “lean manufacturing“. I had a training on Monday for the main aspects of Kaizen and applied them in other 3 days in our production line in the plant.

The second one is I’ve got a present which made me very happy. It is a very soft (I think it’s 100% polyester) football, bought from Ikea. Now I can play football at home, too! Hooray!

I’d like to recommend and/or inform you a few websites I met while I was surfing whole week. For instance, I’ve been informed that the famous PHP IDE Komodo has begun to a new project called Open Komodo. It’s kinda freeware Komodo and I couldn’t try it yet but in my opinion it is worth to try it absolutely.

Another useful site is the Cheat Sheet site, where you can find many reference books or “cheat sheets” for various subjects, especially about programming.

The last one is related with web design and I have found it while I was surfing to find a solution to my urgent need. I was trying to find some stylish icons for my new website and found out that there is an open-source project called Tango Desktop Project. You need to look at it. I am sure you’ll need that package someday.

Good morning people!

There is a reason today for me to wake up because I need to finish my tasks about the new website as soon as possible. Today is the coding day!

Yesterday I have changed my registrar from Turkticaret.net to Name.com because name.com gave a great “gift”: Free Google Aps!
Now I am waiting for the transfer process, I am told that it can take approximately 4-5 days.

I am also planning a new project and as I get the whole idea as a project in my head, I will share it with my readers. It’s a top secret information right now, sorry!
