How to replace MV Boli font in Windows XP

I am absolutely sure that no one likes this MV Boli system default font for Divehi language that comes with Windows since Windows XP. It’s so ugly and depressing to look at.

Now here is a very easy way to change it for ever in your system. Well, not for ever but, until your Windows system installs a major update/upgrade.

Just download this Font to replace MV Boli and install it like how you would install any other font. It will replace the existing MV Boli font with a much nicer font Faruma.

Blogging in Dhivehi using Thaana

I am posting this article in response to an email that I received from a visitor enquiring about blogging in Thaana. I did a little bit of searching and found these two articles written by Moyameeha and Ja very helpful.

Moyameeha gives detailed instructions on how Thaana can be used on Blogger while Ja shows how it could be done on WordPress.

Hope these two links are helpful for my visitor and any others looking to find ways to blog in Thaana.

Homework for nafix.com

Hi there!

Don't worry, this isn't really homework. I was checking out nafix.com and I saw your page titled "Completing the square." Here's the link in case you don't remember it.

www.nafix.com/2011/09/completing-square-and-quadratic.html

A lot of teachers and students aren't aware of the free teaching resource videos and homework help tutorials that are available online. There is an awesome site called HippoCampus.org that covers all the subjects--and it's supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Check out some of their videos on algebra:

Here's the link.

I was hoping that if you liked it, you wouldn't mind sharing it with your readers by mentioning it on your site. If math isn't your subject, HippoCampus.org also offers free help for science, history, government and more so maybe you would just like to recommend HippoCampus.org.

Thanks!

Mitigating Risk - Why Sticking with Windows XP is a Bad Idea - IDC

This IDC white paper discusses why remaining with Windows XP is no longer a good business decision.

This IDC white paper discusses the benefits associated with a move from Windows XP to Windows 7 and presents a case for the many reasons why remaining with Windows XP is no longer a good business decision. Costs tend to soar when older products are used beyond their intended lifecycle, and IDC research has clearly confirmed that trend.

I am alive!

Apologies for my long absence/inactivity since November last year. Some people might have thought I had died.

It was a busy and hectic period in November with so much work and stuffs. Also, I fell ill at the same time and had to leave for holidays immediately after semester ended and get treatment for the illness.

Holiday so far has been really good having being able to spend time with parents, brothers, sisters and childhood friends. Most importantly, I was really happy to have experienced my own home place again, where I grew up as a kid, after a very long period of time away from home.

The good news of a Dhivehi blog

The good news of a Dhivehi blog

Thaana ScriptI have been monitoring my visitor statistics a bit more thoroughly recently and found that a lot of my visitors come from the beautiful Maldives. It doesn’t come as too much of a surprise though given the owner [that is me Cool] is after all from Maldives.

I think some or most readers from the Maldives would very much like to have Dhivehi content as well. That thought made me think of a way to have Dhivehi content available on the domain nafix.com.

The idea I have used here is to simply create a new blog at Blogger and forward my new sub domain dhivehi.nafix.com to that blog. The new blog will use a different layout and theme to suit the Right To Left text direction as Dhivehi is written that way.

The url of my Dhivehi blog is http://dhivehi.nafix.com. I am working on it currently, finding time by making use of very short breaks taken during my heavy schedule of architorture assignment works and in between classes. Some times even during meal time. So it is understandable that it is progressing a bit slow.

Anyway, now that the first step is taken towards the Dhivehi site, it will Insha Allah be available for visitors to enjoy reading very soon. Stay tuned.

Please note that the chart showing Thaana script [script used to write Dhivehi] on this page is proudly borrowed from http://www.maradhu.net. However, a little photoshoping was done to make its background transparent.

New look

From the new look you can tell that I have just started to become a little serious about this blogging thing. The vast sea of information on the internet is surprisingly helpful for a novice blogger like me to have accomplished this task in so little time and effort.

I found instructions and tutorials straight to the point and very clear in conveying the message across to help anyone looking for the required information. I must say that there are so many good people out their to help you out if you ask nicely.
