Source Code for masaajid map...

Though I'd share the code for those interested in how I did the masaajid maps:

<gm:page title="Masaajid in South Africa" authenticate="false" onload="kmlPE()" gadget="true">

<h2>Masaajid in South Africa</h2>

<gm:map id="map" height="600px" width="800px"
lat="-28.7500" lng="24.7700" zoom="5" maptypes="true"/>
<script>
function kmlPE()
{
var myMap = google.mashups.getObjectById('map').getMap();
var geoXml = new GGeoXml("http://yusufk.googlepages.com/masjids.kml");
myMap.setMapType(myMap.getMapTypes()[0]);
myMap.addOverlay(geoXml);
myMap.enableDoubleClickZoom();
}
</script>
</gm:page>

The above code can be easily pasted/ test using the Google mashup editor.

How to add a News Bar onto your wordpress blog..

Thought I'd share how I managed to get the Google Ajax News Bar you hopefully see at the top of the page...

1stly, visit this site to obtain the necessary code..

Then, open you WP-ADMIN page and cick on Design -- Theme Editor

Click on the Header template.

Once loaded, insert the following lines from the Ajax code (cut from the generated code) right at the bottom of the header file (below the <hr /> tag):

        <div id="newsBar-bar">

               <span style="color:#676767;font-size:11px;margin:10px;padding:4px;">Loading...</span>

        </div>

And insert the other stuff just before the </head> tag:

 <script src="http://www.google.com/uds/api?file=uds.js&v=1.0&source=uds-nbw"
    type="text/javascript"></script>
  <style type="text/css">
    @import url("http://www.google.com/uds/css/gsearch.css");
  </style>

  <!-- News Bar Code and Stylesheet -->
  <script type="text/javascript">
    window._uds_nbw_donotrepair = true;
  </script>
  <script src="http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/newsbar/gsnewsbar.js?mode=new"
    type="text/javascript"></script>
  <style type="text/css">
    @import url("http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/newsbar/gsnewsbar.css");
  </style>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    function LoadNewsBar() {
      var newsBar;
      var options = {
        largeResultSet : false,
        title : "In the news",
        horizontal : true,
        autoExecuteList : {
          executeList : ["Islam", "mobile", "science", "universe", "recipes"]
        }
      }

      newsBar = new GSnewsBar(document.getElementById("newsBar-bar"), options);
    }
    // arrange for this function to be called during body.onload
    // event processing
    GSearch.setOnLoadCallback(LoadNewsBar);
  </script>

Click on Update and its done!

p.s. It takes a few seconds to load the bar, depending on your bandwidth, you should see the word "loading..." as a placeholder.

Solution to SA crime, buy a gun?

I've been having this debate with family, friends and colleagues; Should we just buy guns and fight back against criminals?

The majority of people respond by saying that some or other stats show that most gun owners end up hurting themselves or end up being shot with the same gun. Where can I find these statistics?

As a Muslim, the Quraan makes it clear that we are meant to "enjoin good and forbid evil":
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Tauba 9:71
The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.

Are we forbidding evil by standing back and allowing thieves to take what they want?

I've been paying for hosting I've never used, so thought I'd give Wordpress a try, turns out it's pretty cool and easy to use, so I think I might move this blog over there. Give it a shot: http://www.yusufk.za.net/blog/

Of course we live in a special place! Bye bye dark matter.

One of the theories that I was never to comfortable with is that of Dark Matter.

This article in Science daily has helped me make up my mind and now I am leaning towards being against the theory. Reason: We live in a special place.

Many things in nature demonstrate the words of the Quraan and Hadeeth wherein it is said that we are the best of creation. And everything we see around us is created for us as signs to the existance of Allah, if only we take the time to look.

Scientests have discovered that there are very few planets out there that can possibly support life. The ratio of water, oxygen, climate, etc. are all factors that are just perfect on earth.

There aren't many solar systems with planets circling in an almost circular orbit.

Then there are less obvious signs, like the relative size of and distance to the Sun and the Moon from the earth making both appear as if they're the same size.

Yes ofcourse we live in a very special place, and I therefore would not be surprised if the density of our area of space is just right to create this special environment. In fact, I would expect it to be unique.

The beginning of the Universe

An interesting presentation on time and entropy, these two slides caught my attention:

The words "Our initial conditions were finely tuned, even un-natural, nobody knows why" specifically caught my attention. Many religious people do not like the word evolution because of the links to atheism and atheists. However, I've always had the view that if one defines a process or equation and then perhaps more importantly, sets the right preconditions to the process or equation, then one is responsible for whatever evolves to anything within the process.

In english, if kneading and baking is my process and the measured ingredients flour, water and yeast are my preconditions, then I am the creator of the bread that the dough eventually evolves into.

So, to the presenter, at least someone does presume to have an idea why.

And it is not all the Big Bangs fault, its the One that sets determined the equations of life and the important preconditions, our Creator, Allah.

Sami al-Haj walks with pain on his steel crutch; almost six years in the nightmare of Guantanamo have taken their toll on the Al Jazeera journalist and, now in the safety of a hotel in the small Norwegian town of Lillehammer, he is a figure of both dignity and shame. The Americans told him they were sorry when they eventually freed him this year ? after the beatings he says he suffered, and the force-feeding, the humiliations and interrogations by British, American and Canadian intelligence officers ? and now he hopes one day he'll be able to walk without his stick.

Prophet Yunus (Jonah's) prayer, from inside the whale!

One of the prayers that have helped me along my way:

Three layers of darkness enveloped him, one above the other; the darkness of the whale's stomach, the darkness of the bottom of the sea, the darkness of the night. Yunus imaged himself to be dead, but his senses became alert when he found he could move. He knew that he was alive and imprisoned in the midst of three layers of darkness. His heart was moved by remembering Allah. His tongue released soon after saying: La ilaha illa Anta (none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allah), Glorified (and Exalted) be You (above all that evil they associate with You), Truly, I have been of the wrong doers." (21:87 Quran)

Why are there no 3G modems with video call support???

It seems like an obvious feature of a 3G modem, yet I can't find any support for video calls on 3G modems. It should be as easy as AT DV to initiate a video call but it isn't. No wonder 3G is not being utilized, some of the obvious use cases seem to have been ignored.

Or maybe I'm just not Googling properly....

What was Vernon doing at Vodaworld? Answer..Breaking the Internet!

Vodacom has broken the Internet, some they they did it using a proxy, I have another theory:

p.s. Lookout for Vernon Koekemoer in the background, only Vernon can break the Internet (and Chuck, coz he knows Vernon).

noknok PC Client

The noknok service, still in it's infancy is by no means the best out there, especially in South Africa. However, the PC client is one of the best pc based messengers I've used, if you get it to install that is ;)

Tip: Do not use the link provided by the install application if you don't have .Net framework installed. The link provides you .Net version 1.1 while the application requires version 2.0, daft oversight. Use this link instead or install version 3.

The reason I think it's cool is that it allows you to send SMS and MMS messages straight from your desktop.

The SMS's are free, but MMS's are charged.

Best feature though in my opinion, is the fart nudge, which I never get tired off, much to the dismay of many of my ref-faced colleagues.

CNET's Quick guide: Cell phone radiation levels

Check it out at http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6602_7-5020355-1.html

What it all means
According to the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), specific absorption rate, or SAR, is "a way of measuring the quantity of radiofrequency (RF) energy that is absorbed by the body." For a phone to pass FCC certification, that phone's maximum SAR level must be less than 1.6W/kg (watts per kilogram). In Europe, the level is capped at 2W/kg while Canada allows a maximum of 1.6W/kg. The SAR level listed in our charts represents the highest SAR level with the phone next to the ear as tested by the FCC. Keep in mind that it is possible for the SAR level to vary between different transmission bands and that different testing bodies can obtain different results. Also, it's possible for results to vary between different editions of the same phone (such as a handset that's offered by multiple carriers).

It's important to note that in publishing this list are we in no way implying that cell phone use is or isn't harmful to your health. While research abounds and some tests have shown that cell phone radiofrequency (RF) could accelerate cancer in laboratory animals, the studies have not been replicated. Cell phones can affect internal pacemakers, but there is not conclusive or demonstrated evidence that they cause adverse health affects in humans. Conversely, there is not conclusive or demonstrated evidence that they don't cause adverse health affects in humans. So, in short, the jury is still out, research is ongoing, and we will continue to monitor its results.

If your phone isn't listed here (U.S. customers) and you've purchased it within the last few years (the FCC Web site currently does not provide information on models certified before 1998), you can request the SAR information from the manufacturer or your carrier. You'll need the model number and FCC ID number, which is usually but not always listed in your owner's manual or under your phone's battery (you must pop the battery out). For links to the FCC's Web site, please see the More Resources section below. We'll continue to update the list as new phones are announced.

Marc Lottering - "Why coloureds can't be terrorists"

Why Brain-Ows can't be terrorists

- Ons is altyd laat. We would have missed all 4 flights.

- We talk loud and would bring attention to ourselves.

- Met free kos en cooldrink oppie plane, we'll sommer forget why we're there.

- We praat with our hands, so we'll continually be putting the weapons down.

- We would ALL want to fly the freaking plane, ending in a mo**se
fight with each other.

- We'll sommer argue and start a fight in the terminal before we even
get on the plane & one of us is bound to say out loud: "Gaan k*k man!
Dan hijack jy die f**kken plane alleen!!"

- Ons kannie 'n secret hou nie. We would have told everyone a week
before doing it, telling them: "Moet vir niemand sè nie, ho!"

- We would have insisted that the plane fly past Strandfontein Pavillion.
- We would have all lined up to get our photograph taken by one of the hostages.

- When we enter the cockpit, we would have used the intercom system
for a karaoke session, with one d**s trying to sing 'I did it my way'.

- We would first rob everyone of their Ray-Bans, cellphones and gold
teeth, just before we crash the plane.

- Our whole freaking family plus neighbors would have been at the
airport to see us off, crying their bleddie eyes out, and your mother
saying to the white ou next to her: "I'm so proud of him. It's the
first time he's hijacking a plane!"

- We would have dressed like terrorists for our airport go-way
clothes: balaclavas, jumpsuits, karate skoentjies, dark glasses, en 'n
mo*rse attitude.

- Two of us would have forgotten our passports at home.

- Three of us would have overweight luggage.

- All of us would have luggage.

- We would have all wanted to watch the in-flight movie first.

- Before we went into action, we would have all queued up at the
toilet to first gel our hair.

- We would have taken the plane for a joyride first, played the music
at full blast and try to park the plane somewhere where the chicks
could see us.
