Home Safe

Tuesday, August 31st, 2004

Well, all I can say that I am glad I am back. I will start tomorrow my first day at my new work, I am really looking forward for it. Now my since of being home started once I boarded that Royal Jordanian plane. Granted, they can be late sometimes (20 minutes in my case), […]

Copy Vio

Friday, August 27th, 2004

I was reading Ahmed Humeid’slast blog entry about text stealing. I started to write a comment on his blog, then when it got lengthy, I thought I will write it in my blog. To start with, I won’t blame that young man, as templates for such letters are all around the world, and templates for […]

Home soon

Thursday, August 26th, 2004

Today I booked my flight home, and I am really happy about it. Although I had been here (Dammam, Saudi Arabia) for a little more than 3 months (which is not long at all) probably it is life style here that got me miss home so soon. Now don’t get me wrong or something, I […]

Reiser 4 is out ! Do I want to try it?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2004

I read in Slashdot today about the release of Reiser4 File System. Now I had been reading about it for the past months, and how many believe that the future of file systems in Linux is in reiser4 and so. I did not try it so far, mainly because I am not in the mood […]

Blog Hunting

Saturday, August 21st, 2004

Well, for the past weeks, I tried in so many ways, to look for blogs for people from Jordan. I tried to search in Google and to look within Orkut Community and so without much luck. I am sure that there are tens of Jordanians that have blogs, but I am not sure how to […]

Mujib Plans

Saturday, August 14th, 2004

Now when I read about Ammar’s trip yesterday I felt bad that I did not see that part of Jordan yet. Khaldoon had been nagging for the past months on all of us to go there, I think that he will be really happy when he knows that it will happen soon. Waking up really […]

Things in 2014

Wednesday, August 11th, 2004

I was listening in the radio to an interview with 2 of the founders of EA Sports, the last question that the host asked was about their vision about gaming after 10 years. One of them was realistic, talking about games in high graphics quality, in near TV-image quality, smarter, more complex gaming, and so.. […]

Windows in Desktop

Sunday, August 8th, 2004

I just read a very interesting article about how “ready” is MS-Windows for the desktop. I know that sound crazy, as for most of you, Windows is Desktop (sadly). Now I find his approach funny, although he did not give any false statement in his article. He forgot the most major factor in advantage of […]

Domainia

Saturday, August 7th, 2004

Few days ago I got the bayazidi.com and bayazid.org domains as well. Currently they point to the active domain bayazidi.net. I am not sure why I bought them, maybe I have future dreams for Bayazidi Ltd. and Bayazidi Foundation :)
The dream of having my own business in the Open Source/Linux/Computing field is not new, but […]

Getting Real

Friday, August 6th, 2004

I read today on the news about the new Real Player 10 in Linux. As soon as I installed it, I noticed the most great difference, it looks much better ! now it uses teh GTK 2.0 UI libs, while before it used some X UI libs, so now it looks smooth ,clean, and very […]

Long Road to Work

Wednesday, August 4th, 2004

Today it took me about 45 minutes to reach work. Usually it takes no more than 7 minutes. What happened is that yesterday I slept at 10pm, which is really early for me, and woke up today at 6am. Not knowing what to do, I headed for the office very early today. On the […]

Looking for the perfect mobile is really impossible
