From simple debugging turns into total makeover


From a simple editing and make over that were intended to be done on the INPAT script
Pretty much become a major upgrade in the need...First off
Implimenting the ComboBox on where is needed
And after poking around checking on the index and stored data
Few changes were done to destroy the error that inhibits the program
And after few poking2 here and there, ComboBox usage were linked with the process part
Ooo ya in the program development, basicly there are 3 layers or stages before we get the output from the tools
Lemme explain a bit here
The first part of the our tool is the
Tracing part - Basicly this part is just getting data read data thats all

2nd layer of the program is processing
Process - the procedure of getting the data and processing it, basicly what TCL is famous for is that it can work hand in hand together with C++ based program, Java Perl and much2 more, but basicly INPAT use AWK as its main processer, the data can be processed using TCL, but TCL is used to link other program so that software that are already created can be linked and used together compiling them into a huge pile of multi purpose tool...So that you dont need to make your own software everytime you want to do research on something...Its all about sending and catching, but the tool that i created before this were pretty much 100% TCL, INPAT is part TCL part AWK

3rd layer is the presentation part
Presentation - This part is well about showing what did u get, in chart form in table form, in any form that is needed, and since again, TCL can co op with other programs, even Microsoft Excel !!! you can pretty much either make your own visual since TCL can do that, or use other programs that you love to use to present your results

Getting back to our debugging story, after a few script reading and altering to make the tool@program to be more user friendly, we did manage to detect some uncertainty within the tools...

But basicly we encountered a lot of problems just within one day of total programs check up, from 11am i think until 5.30PM...One major problem that we faced is that, i am a newbie programmer, En Zul is the Software Engineer@Programmer also, what we lack is the Researcher that can give us all the required equation to solve the important details...Since the knowledge in Malaysia is fairly low on the subject, its pretty much lags the software development

Why???because we encountered problems with the AWK script...which is not good...since trying to find the "division by zero" error might takes days to truely knows what is wrong, and we need to publish the software for beta testing sometime in june...

Tomorrow will continue on the debugging to find more error...Today i was pretty much worked@programmed to the bones...But the hectic is fun!!!Its a crazy thing if u ask me about programming...Programming is crazy fun!!!I think i've finally found what I love to do...Im still pretty much no so hebat and i still cant hafal all the scripts arguments and condition...TCL have a lot of them...But i really2 love doing it...Cheers (>__<)

INPAT Improvements


Today a bit of pair work...
Mr Zulkifli Ishak came up to the office to discuss on INPAT
Beta testing improvement debugging and some minor@major improvement
So a bit of discussion here and there, read through some of the paper
And 2006 paper which is really2 simple if i looked at it haha
I guess how far have we improved ourselves right
I looked at the paper and think to my self...
No its not a wonderful worlds...But
With my knowledge now in TCL, even i can produce that paper
Waaa, seriously im impressed (>__<) but not on my own la right
At least need another person to do the NS2 part ehehe
But basicly its a cool day today a bit rush here and there
Feels nice...Toodles

Xandros Skill Improvement


Today a bit playing around using the Xandros
Learnt how to install software which is kinda easy and simple and such
Poke my nose around here and there
Bottom line is, Xandros is easy to use
Almost the same as using Ubuntu
But back before i have no guide and no reason to use ubuntu
Which flunked me in the ubuntu adventure
So i guess im taking my time to understand xandros
Kinda cool !!! Lols

INPAT Traffic Corrected And Done


Ok for the beta tool@software that was created by En Zul
I were already able to get the desired "Traffic" function
Basicly traffic are used to filter the different traffic
Mainly CBR, ACK and TCP, the Traffic function were implimented using ComboBox
I were able to insert scanned data into the display part of the ComboBox
Which i was not able to do so
Which was my Wireless Network Analysis Tool...WiNAT Haha thats a cool name...
The script is a simple configuration script, but the way the data inserted needed some trick so it can be successfully implimented
Overal everything is A O K (>__<)

INPAT Script Reading Again...

Again today still analysing the INPAT script
Done analysing the NS2 script and its trace output
Seems there are basicly 3 types of traffic within the output
CBR ACP and...The other one forgot already (>__<)

Other than that my skills in using Xandros a linux OS are pretty much getting better and better
But i guess its because Xandros are a bit easy to be used
And i think im pretty much very comfortable in using Xandors in doing my work
But it seems that Xandros only support PS2 mouse
USB based mouse are pretty much not welcomed...
So basicly i've been practicing using Xandros the whole day
Thats all for the day

DONE!!!



Ok i've scanned and understand all the 10 pages of the INPAT script
Took awhile, not because i dont understand but because im lazy
Well looking at programming too much gives me headache
Anyways, i guess i can change something with the Traffic part i guess
But i guess thats all i can change, i cant change the part where the division of "Zero" occurred
Why???Because im not the one who invented the AWK NS2 and TCL Script
Yes there are 3 scripts in total, err...There are more than 1 script for the AWK part
But i just count it as one type, so there are 3 types of scripts that need to be looked
I've looked at AWK, well ive understand it on how the processing and such
So next part is maybe looking at AWK script to see why there are dividing of "Zero" occuring
It cant occur FYI, since there are no such thing as infinity delay or packet or jitter !!!
Thank you and thats all...(The problem occurred at some input not all of them)

Time Moving Slowly


Ok basicly everything is a bit slow for me
Since its maybe my final task, which is improvement and debugging
But before a lot of improvement or debugging i need to do some script reading
NS2 Script is just 2 piece of paper
And INPAT TCL Script is 10pages long
I've finished looking through 8 pages
And ive done some minor changes along the way
No big changes need to be done yet, i need to understand the script truely
B4 i can do any big improvement
Maybe tomorrow i'll finished looking through the INPAT script
The script i cant put it up here since it is classified (>__<) lols
But it what i say it is, it is uniten made, and still under BETA
I still need to indulge myself in it in order to search for problems...
The AWK part of the script i dont really know, but maybe i also need to learn AWK script
C++ script learning was put on hold LOLS...but i dont have any problem dealing with C++
Since it is very much similar to Basic C, just a bit change here and there thats all
I guess im pretty much heading to be a software engineer from this internship huh
But well an electronics engineer are expected to have skill in C, C++, VB, and even JAVA...
But i dont think i can learn JAVA, VB maybe can i guess...
But we'll see, im just too damn lazy...
