What is happening in Iran?

03/10/2022 Kaveh Jamali daily log

I have been trying to focus on my software development work, but it has not been easy. The last two weeks were a nightmare; with terrible news from Iran (the country where I have born and grown), the hijab police arrested and killed a 22-year girl (Jina (Mahsa) Amini) #MahsaAmini. My heart and mind were with the people that protested, and it has been hard to focus on anything else. I am hoping that things will start to improve soon. The mullahs confiscated Iran people’s revolution 43 years ago and occupied Iran. Then started to destroy Iran’s relationship with other countries. The Mullahs have been successful in doing this for 43 years. They have ruined Iran’s economy and its relationship

Helpful sentences and idioms in English and Persian

20/12/2021 Kaveh Jamali Australia, daily log, Internet Toolbox, Life Style, Web Developing

I recently found a lot of Instagram pages that publish helpful phrases and idioms in English. Since it is almost impossible to find something we need and do not remember, I decided to collect and publish them in a searchable table here. The table inside this page is not suitable for mobile, Please view it on a PC. This is my third year living in Australia, and every day I feel more than yesterday that I should speak English the way people do here, not how I learned them before. I will check each of these phrases with my Australian friends and identify common in Australia. In addition, a free picture dictionary site in 4 languages is available for free

PHP Function for Colour Text to HEX Code

In a PHP project database, there was a text filed for colours that should be shown as a background colour of a box in front of the product name. Stored colours were like these: Blue BLUE Tomato Beech Flame Red Salmon … That some of them were not a standard colour for HTML, I searched the Internet for the colour to the HEX code table, and I added some non-standard but recurrent colours on that project like: Wood Charcol Gun Metal United Nations Blue … to this PHP function, you can add yours <?php function colourtexthex($colour_text) { // colour text to HEX code $colours = array ( ‘aliceblue’ => ‘F0F8FF’, ‘aluminium’ => ‘848789’, ‘antiquewhite’ => ‘FAEBD7’, ‘aqua’ => ’00FFFF’, ‘aquamarine’

I travel whether walking or driving

When I arrived in Australia, It took one week to adopt my mind with this truth that people drive in the correct direction, and they are not criminals. Here, the cars steering wheel is in the right, and the cars drive on the left side of the streets. When I ride a taxi for the first time, I was pushing the brake pedal. I expected to have a car crash anytime. Step by step, my mind adapted itself to new rules, and now, I think I am ready to drive again. It is the truth but funny that I should face an 18-year challenge in 44. I should take another driving license! Before coming to Australia, I read that I

Southern hemisphere and new experiences

We came to the southern hemisphere of the earth, where I was showing it on the geographical sphere in my childhood and was asking, “The people here do not fall?” Here, not only people don’t fall, but also the sun in the north in the noon isn’t an important issue. Here the steering wheel of the cars is in the right, and sometimes, as usual, when I want to pass the street I look at the left side, while the danger is on the right! Here is a paradise for birds, wherever you can find many birds. Many of these birds are new to me, so I am busy by bird watching and enjoying the city. Everything here runs slowly

Flying Coffin Today another passenger plane crashed in Tehran, Iran, near ،Tehran Mehrabad Airport. I wonder why Iranian people should ride these flying coffins.

Iran-140 or Antovov-an-140 is originally from Ukraine and is assembled in Iran You can find Mehrabad Airport on the map:
