Smoothjazz.Com - Where Smooth Meets Jazz... i must be getting old, as am really beginning to like jazz music... especially in the mornings and late nite happy coding sessions... i still dig kurt cobain's music and other distortion induced hymns during the afternoons... so i guess that means i still belong to the "too old to be a rockstar, too young to give up being a rockstar" category...

back to basics...


public synchronized int get() {
while (available == false) {
try {
// wait for Producer to put value
wait();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
}
available = false;
// notify Producer that value has been retrieved
notifyAll();
return contents;
}
public synchronized void put(int value) {
while (available == true) {
try {
// wait for Consumer to get value
wait();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
}
contents = value;
available = true;
// notify Consumer that value has been set
notifyAll();
}
hmmnn... some noticeable changes on the mrt north station today... the pinkish mmda fence extended for a good distance from the base of the stairs facing sm north... the ongoing renovation of these are should in theory ease the traffic on this side of town... lets wait and see... anyway since the i already walked for a good few meters and the all the bus on the way seems to really crammed with people, i plodded on and decide to just walk all the way to the tricycle area beside the cyberzone... the footbridge (as usual painted with pinkish delight, for some reason somebody thinks the world looks good in pink) is now passable and was tempted to take a picture of the area but decided to be on the safe side and just enjoy the scenery and nevermind taking a souvenir photo home with me... anyway it seems to be a good late late afternoon exercise... of course i had to pay 18 pesos for the tricycle fare instead of the usual 6 pesos if i rode via the bus, but all in all it feels good to do this once in a while... also, by doing this i get to stroll inside the mall and maybe finally decide what gift to get my lovely wife as the two kids had theirs already (its a tad easier find a gift a kid would like)... ahhh, Christmas with the whole family really is the jolliest time of the year...
Map24 slickest online map i have seen! smooth zooming rocks! this is an applet... would very much like to do something similar for the philippine map... namria's online services should have something like this... i always had a penchant for location based services/apps, the posibilities are endless...
