Jordan Vs. Japan in Asian Cup .. What a Surprise

Translating with Quality

Sunday, July 25th, 2004

Recently I get involved again in Arabeyes in the KDE Translation project. So far I didn’t do much more than syncing files between the Arabeyes CVS and KDE CVS. I tried to open some files, and look into the translation in it. To be frank I was very unhappy. It is not KDE only, but […]

Insomnia

Saturday, July 24th, 2004

It is around 4:30 am now, I have work tomorrow, but I don’t even feel sleepy. My brain can’t stop thinking, I wish there is an off-button.
Today I looked around for a Keyboard-Mouse combo for Digitalui. I found some Wireless stuff, but then I discovered that he is looking for Wired things. I will look […]

Enjoying Riyadh

Saturday, July 17th, 2004

Well, I heard a lot about Riyadh, most of what I heard about negative. Last weekend I had the chance to test those claims. I was in Riyadh for the past 3 days, and all I can say is that I really look forward going there again. Probably what made this weekend so great is […]

7 ways to get cool

Monday, July 12th, 2004

A really funny cartoon that I relate to is this cartoon (in Arabic). I am not sure how effective those methods are in Dammam. I doubt they work. Anyhow, another cartoon that I find smart, but I really dislike is this one about Saddam. I am not sure how people can feel sorry for a […]

Communication issues

Sunday, July 11th, 2004

Either my english and arabic sucks, or those Asians that work here do not talk any of those when they talk to me. I really try to understand what they are saying, with really high lexical and logical analysis for what they say to understand what exactly they are talking about. And in most […]

Blogging Feaver

Saturday, July 10th, 2004

Now, although the concept had been around for a while, but I did not see it really spreading as it had for the past year. At some point, blogs were for fun, now, they are a resource, and sometimes referred to for information and news. One of the interesting blogs is GoogleBlog that sometime contains […]

Internal Distro-war

Wednesday, July 7th, 2004

I admit that I hadn’t been a real loyal user of any Linux Distro. I had been loyal to Linux in general. I had been using Linux for 7 years now I think.. and the distros that I used for more than 6 months include (RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian, Gentoo, Corel, Fedora, Slack, I-can’t-remember-if-there-is-more ). […]

School Friends

Saturday, July 3rd, 2004

WOW ! I just discovered that it had been more than a week since I wrote here.. I wrote during last week in the Arabic section, and in the Linux Category, but I did not for the main page. Well, mainly, Skype allowed me to be in daily voice contact with family. This somehow made […]
