Suspended and a Warning from Google!

Google suspended my blog for about a week without any precise reason !
Last week when I tried to open my blog home page, I was redirected to a warning page saying that I have violated the "terms and conditions" of blogspot and I am not allowed to post any new posts until I write to them asking for a "review"!
Here is their message:

"Your blog at: http://el08aay.blogspot.com/ has been identified as a potential spam blog. To correct this, please request a review by filling out the form at http://www.blogger.com/unlock-blog.g?lockedBlogID=2817341763562260359"

Is it about spams or about my last two blogs regarding google's mistake?
That is why I hate the fact that this not really my website and it belongs to Google eventually.
anyway... welcome back :-)

The link is working now !

I sent an e-mail to Google, "adwords-charge@google.com", to draw the webmasters' attention to the issue and soon after that the link was fixed!
I am not sure weather my e-mail was the reason or not but I am sure that I captured few priceless seconds of the historical mistake !
I might offer that video for sale on e-Bay...any one interested can offer his best price there :-D
have a look at the new vedio showing the link working.

A flase link in Google's Website!!

When I opened Google's website I found an ad of a new images editing software made by Google but when I clicked the link it directed me to an error page !
very strange to happen by a great well known company like Google !
Have a look at the video.

ELEC1130 "Circuits Analysis and Design" Lecture Summary

Nothing much!
Directly to the slides... reading from them and that's all!
==========
NOTE:
ELEC1410 "Communications Systems" instructor said that there is a new reading list for the course and will be mentioned in the lectures' slides which will be posted on the modules' website soon.
Just keep checking the site and there maybe an announcement about the next class being delayed or something !!
check later with him.

Todays' Summary

I need to find a way to get to uni early as I do so far but without having to order a taxi!
For the last three days I had to ask for a taxi in order not be late.
I am having two lectures for Today, ELEC-1730(Analytical Techniques) and ELEC-ELEC-1130 (Circuit Analysis and Design).
We started the Analytical Techniques lecture at 9am and it was about the example sheet today which was provided in the module's website. The teacher told us that there will be assessment tests startibg from the next example class, that is on next Friday. Each test should last for about 20-25 minutes and all the questions are from the example sheet.
We spent the first hour on solving the first set of questions headed "Week Two".
I haven't finished all question but one or two left. The second hour was optional for those who wanted to leave early and this was only for today, i.e. it is not allowed to leave before the end of the two hours session.
In about 20 minutes from now i will heading to the "Circuits Analysis and Design" class.
I will write the summary after the lecture.

My first circuit

Today's "Digital Electronics & Microcontrolers" lab session was an interesting one. I started with a big zero amount of knowledg about building up circuits and I finished the session with full properly working circuit !
Thanks to my friend, Ao (I couldn't get the name correctly!), who taught me how to fit components together by showing me the steps on his board... thanks mate :-)
Here are some picture and a vedio of my first ever circuit :





Analytical Techniques (1730-01)-today's lecture summary

Since it is the first day of classes, there were some students who were late because of
the traffic jam and the first 15 minutes were just for them in addition to some guide lines
that Prof.Harrison was going through.

The professor today started with saying view things regarding the following:

1-The module doesn't include a final test but a weekly assessment starting from week 3 (next week)
and there will be 20 of them every Friday last about 20-30 minutes each.
2-If you understand and listen to what is being said in the lecture you will not probably need
to read from a book so no need to buy one.
3-The Friday sessions will be just for solving examples while Mondays will be lecturing.
4-Mobiles phones are allowed only for in 2 cases:
a-You have children.
b-Your wife, or partner, is pregnant in her 7th month!
5-The two hours will be divided into two lectures with 10 minutes break in between.
6-No need to write in a paper other than the notes papers already given by the instructor
which cover all points in the two lectures.(these notes will be distributed in the
class only and those who miss any lecture will not receive a copy- and hard to get them
from any where else!)
7-The method that you use to solve a question is more important than the final answer.
8-Why this module is called "Analytical Techniques" and not Mathematics, this is a secret!

Then the lecture started !
That is all what I can remember !
