Yet another update of my current living. Hi, after a long period. Hope everything is ok wherever you are.

I would love to keep writing all the time on this blog. But I couldn't find enough time for it this summer. It sounds odd, right? I know. I couldn't, that's because I was confused a little about using a spesific blog service. There are pretty good blog platforms, like this one, Google's. For instance, Wordpress is another great blogging service. Almost everyone in the sector knows it. I decided to turn my personal web blog into a professional blog. So I think the best platform is Wordpress nowadays. I like Blogger, however it cannot give us more features but just writing. I mean of course it has lots of good features, but what about the design? It's one of the major disadvantages. I will keep using and writing on Blogger anyway. I like its own way.

Triangle Calculator with Multiple Functions

The C++ program that calculate the hypotenuse, the area and the perimeter of a right triangle. Actually, I wrote this code few months ago but totally forgot to post it here. Luckily it came across to me while checking the other cpp files. I've fixed some major problems inside the code, and changed something unclear. Plus, I added a do-while loop for continuity. It doesn't look very bad now.

Network Technology

Greetings people of Earth! I have presented a presentation about software & hardware of network technology from its birth to now with my four-member group. We have showed up in the largest auditorium of the university. It took about twenty minutes. We have profited by using some great references/resources which are listed below.

• Florida Center for Instructional Technology, College of Education, University of South Florida

• Dublin Institute of Technology

• “Introduction to Networking Technologies”, International Business Machines(IBM Corporation), 1994

• Wikipedia

Greetings, after a really long break time! This is the first time I'm using GooglePlus's post connection option. Actually I like it. But I can't redesign it with the html codes. Because it includes some sort of JavaScript library. So I haven't known JS very well yet. Maybe I could change some properties, like widelength of the shared-post. It would be much better anyway.

What did I do during this quiet period?

Most of my time was wasted by dealing with such the university stuff, midterms, studying, studying and so on. I don't regret it at all. But I should have spent enough time to develop this personal blog. After the most occupied session, I took a look at a few code editors, such as Webstorm(from JetBrains). Truth be told, I really like it. It has very speacial features, like its design or development environment. However, if we compare it with Brackets(brackets.io), that's not very dynamic. Of course it's my humble opinion. Some people can think of the opposite side for sure. Brackets is still my favourite IDE till now. Especially its live preview feature is absolutely amazing! In the market, there are few editors too which contain the same feature. For instance, Atom editor(atom.io) is capable of doing the exact operation. But unfortunately, it's on just Macbooks for now. And I do not use Mac OS. So I have to wait until it released to Windows.

Hi there! As you can see below this post, I had passed extremely two weeks in the department. I was very busy in that period, but ideas kept coming to my mind. -I don't still realize that why great ideas come to mind in the intensive times. What an awkward situation it is!- Shortly, I made a list including the topics that I'd like to do or research about.

Of course, I won't write the whole list right over here. However, maybe I will write some of them one by one. Now, I'd like to talk about the first one: Learning html and css. HTML(Hypertext Markup Language) is not a programming language. People whom I talk about this always said that it is a programming language. But it is not! It's used to create simple web site templates. Basically, tables, frames, fonts, sizes, colours or something like this. It's much more complicated for sure. I just need enough time to comprehend it. And I'll do that during the following weeks. The next one is CSS(Cascading Style Sheets). It's a style sheet language which is used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language(often html). Actually I have a little knowledge about CSS. So this introduction is enough for now. Hope I'll improve it as soon as I can.

Let's talk about what's next after html and css. I want to learn PHP in the next. At least, it would be great if I understand PHP programming logic. And maybe I'll look at Javascript a little bit. As you can see, I am pretty curious about web programming these days. 'cause I know it's one of the main parts of entrepreneurship.

Nikola Tesla and Tesla Coil

Hi there! After a little exam break, I am here again with my presentation that was presented in Technical English I lecture. We were free to pick a subject, and I wanted to talk about Nikola Tesla's life and one of his amazing inventions, the Tesla coil. The PowerPoint slide worked pretty well. Hence, the lecturer liked it, I think. Anyways, here is that.



It's not the only source that I use. Also I made profit by few videos about the Tesla coil. Here is that explanatory video that I showed to people to be figure it out.

Sample Agricultural Technics System

On this work, I tried to create a new watering system on an orange field. I was totally free when creating this system as the lecturer said. He wanted us to make a whole plan on our own from the prices of components to the control system's design. Well, I did something anyway.

AGRICULTURAL TECHNICS ON AN ORANGE FIELD

Product: Orange
Location: Mersin

Information For Required Conditions:
- An average orange field needs nearly 1000 mm water per session.
- Ideal temperatures are between 23°C and -3°C.
- Hot and cold winds effect the trees negative.
- Low rate of humidity is pretty inefficient.
- Optimal soil pH is 5 or 6.

CONTROL SYSTEM

Created by LucidChart

The Prices of Components:

- 2 x 240W solar power panels → 1700 TL

- 12V-24V 30 AH auto charge regulator → 230 TL

- 30 x Lamp for illumination → 60 TL

- Digital humidity and temperature sensor → 27 TL

- Air pressure, wind speed, direction of wind measurement sensor → 1100 $ = nearly 2387 TL

- 1.5 mm diameter 300 m transmission lines → 95 TL

Total Cost: 4499 TL

(1)Solar power is used as a main power system. Supplementary power source is active when solar power system doesn't provide enough energy for the processes.

(2)Wireless transmitter sends to a smart phone a detailed data report per hour. The report includes the rate of humidity, temperature degree, air pressure and instant wind speed.

Actually I haven't used Google+ before. However, I don't remember why, started using that suddenly. After a little try, I liked it a lot! That's because the interface looked really appealing. It's not the only reason, of course! In my opinion, Google+ is one of the suitable social media platform for geek/nerd people. 'cause I realized that many people are sharing interesting stuff about computer, science or technology. Plus, the communities that you're in are pretty useful if you know what kind of which you should join. If we put aside everything, you cannot see any member of your family around there. This is the main point! :)

Here is my Google+ account.
