Hey You

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

A Brief Explanation About Gezi Park

I have been thinking about how to explain what is going on in Istanbul and in Turkey these days. Although foreign channels are broadcasting news about the events, local Turkish news channels still insist on trying to hide the facts. So, today I was all set to publish a post and try to explain what it is all about but I thought it might help to check my friend's blog, Serkan Unal Blog Page. He is a friend of mine and is a good blogger who already published a post about the events. After reading his post, I thought I could not write anything better than that and I decided to refer to his blog post.

Any of you who wants to have a brief information about what this "Gezi Park" event is all about, please do check this page: Enough is Enough

SQL Query To Get Nth Row From A Table

Today a friend of mine asked me how to select the nth row in a SQL database table. I didn't know the answer, so I googled it. Of course, there were many solutions to this problem but I picked one and tried it on my local SQL Server. I want to share it with you now. Here is the template:

Reset Google Account Password

Yesterday, I had a problem with my Google account and I had to change my account password. Then I solved the problem and wanted to use my old password again. But surprisingly Google didn't let me use my old password even after 5 or 10 attempts and kept saying "Choose a password you haven't previously used with this account". After a bit of searching, I found out that you can't simply use your old passwords because Google "remembers" all of your old passwords.
