through countless years, a lazy life series

Living in the terminal.

2011-08-24T05:25:00.008+03:00

It's been a while since I made a post. I haven't had the mood for writing lately. Today it's gonna be a technical post, a new work environment I've set for my self on my machine and I wanted to share with you guys. I will try to make this short.
Recently I was introduced by Waleed Tuffaha to tmux. A screen like terminal multiplexer that provides some nice feature which are not there in screen. This is not gonna be my main topic of this post but I encourage you guys to try it out . This link show why it's better than screen and some basic configurations that you might need as a starter.
tmux has been my main program to use on Ubuntu recently. I am using it to write my codes, write my TEX documents, do my chats and quick Google searches (:. In this post I will tackle the chat part. I believe the more you have in your CLI the faster you can manage your work and spare time activities (such as chat).
My main chat protocols are IRC, MSN and Skype. In this post I will talk about IRC and MSN in terminal and leave Skype for another post. Maybe.
The following figure shows a preview of the work environment in tmux where I have a normal terminal pane and a pane with vim editing a TEX file.

IRC:
I won't go into much details as the tool is available in the repositories. All u have to do is install weechat using one of the following:

$sudo apt-get install weechat
#apt-get install weechat

Jk , You shouldn't be in the second case often (:
Once weechat is installed, you can run it by typing "$weechat-curses" in your terminal. The figure below shows weechat running on my machine. Once there you need two commands to reach our #geex channel which are:

/connect freenode
/join #geex (ofcourse you need to do this after you are connected to the server)

You can check the help for commands in there, you can also write your own scripts to handle events in many scripting languages. Am not doing any though, cause tmux would notify me if something changes in that pane such as a new chat or so. You can switch between channels and private chat windows with "alt+window number" which shows down the window. Usually 1 is the server window, 2 is the channel, and so on.

MSN:
This is more tricky as the program am using is not available on the repositories of Ubuntu. There is a library for MSN for many programming languages as far as I know and you can write your own program, but why bother? I found a ready program called "gtmess".
The installation process was simple. You have to download the following archive. And follow the following steps:
1-Copy the archive to a temporary folder where you want to compile and build the program. You can delete this folder after you finish your installation.
2-In that folder open a terminal window and start by extracting the archive using:
tar zxf archiev-name (-C location)
The archive name should start with gtmess when downloaded. The -C location is optional in case you want to extract in a different directory than where your archive is.
3- In the extracted folder do the following:

Configure by running "$./configure." In my case I was missing the ssl library, the issue was solved by installing libssl-dev ($sudo apt-get install libssl-dev). You might encounter other missing dependencies but I am sure you can manage if that was the case.
Make by running"$make" in the folder.
Install by running "$sudo make install".

Simple ain't it (:.
Once you are done, you can run the program by typing "$gtmess" and you should get the interface as in the figure below. Don't worry, you'll get used to the interface quickly.
Following are some useful shortcuts you need to start with. Press F9 to receive a menu where you can navigate using the arrow keys and enter to choose. Choose "connect" to start, and input your email and password when asked. Once connected you get a list of contacts on the right. You can press tab to switch to the contacts, scroll down with arrow keys and press enter to start a chat. You can create a new chat window by pressing "ctrl+N" and invite users to it by typing their nicknames. You can switch between chat windows by pressing F1 and F2 . Finally you can hide your offline contacts by pressing "ctrl+F".
Those are main keys I use in the program, you can find more by typing ? in the window and pressing enter (of course ..) to get a list of useful keyboard shortcuts.

Simply, you can keep in contact with your family and friends while doing work. Using a key or two to quickly switch between both and not having to move the mouse (:. Hope you guys enjoy this.

*Note: As the screenshots suggest, this was written early in the morning. Thus, many mistakes might exist, I will correct them when noted.

Germany speaks SOAD!

2011-06-06T21:05:00.004+03:00

In the last weekend I was in Rock am Ring, a rock festival held annually in Germany. You can find more details in Wikipedia page. Talking a little about the experience, it was great overall. The camping was sucky, you'd enjoy that if you had a large group of friends or was really drunk. Both of which I didn't have. However, watching rock concerts live is just amazing, much better than I expected or what you'd expect from watching videos online. I'd leave the details for you guys for whence u try it (:.
In most of the concerts the audience would sing some parts of the songs or the major songs of the band they are attending. However, in System of a down the situation was different. I was in the audience and I swear I barely heard Serj or Daron singing! It was all the audience, singing every single word in the lyrics! Just amazing! I am gonna watch the concert again on YouTube to know what the hell the band sang :P.
I am pretty sure if you ask the audience if they speak English, 70% of them would say no! But when it comes to System of a down, they fucking do perfectly (:.
I will leave u with a video from the concert, hope YouTube won't take the vods out soon for legal issues.

Through countless years

2011-05-07T03:42:00.003+03:00

Lost in a sea full of haze, trying to find a new home
Trying to float, but there is a hole in my boat
They haunt me, they tell me I should not go any more
Marching, but my vision is lost, my destiny is wrote
I need to be alone, but they are inside my soul
Fighting, but my power is drained in every mote

Gasping for breath in the sea of gods, lost my two companions and fading away, I am about to fall ...

This should have went on before this. But for some reason I couldn't find it, so thought I'd repost.

Oranges Vs Apples

2011-02-25T00:26:00.003+02:00

In one of my exercises , I drew a graph without labeling X and Y axises. The tutor complained by writing "oranges vs apples?".
And yes, next exercise we wrote that for her :P.
(just felt like sharing, it was mainly Martin's idea, my partner.)

Safa6a , صفاطة

2011-01-24T18:22:00.003+02:00

Guys, just wondering, any of you knows a game called "صفاطة"? You could know it in a different name so I will explain how it works:
-Description: A 3x3 grid turn based game.
-Players: 2 players
-Tools: Board, 2 sets of 3 pieces (usually we us
ed to play on a board drawn on sand, 3 pieces of stick and 3 pieces of paper "mka3bal")
-Initialization: Players put their pieces on the grid in a turn based manner, pieces can be anywhere but they can't form a horizontal/vertical line of size 3.
-Game play: Each player get one move per turn, in which he must move one of his pieces one step either vertically or horizontally.
-Goal: Get a straight line first.
-Challenging? I remember it was, at least for us when we were kids, you had to plan how to interrupt your components plans and at the same time work on your plan to achieve that line.

Why am I bringing this up?
I was working on an XO homework, and it hit me, we used to play this game a lot, but now, I don't recall seeing kids playing it at all, so am just wondering, what's the origin of this game and stuff.
In the image below, you can see a rough sketch of the game (the usual thing), and the pieces of two players (green vs red) in a classic start up position. The game is pretty much solved, and can go in endless loops, but for kids, It can be challenging (and by kids I mean ~first grade), and I wonder if this could be expanded to larger grids or dimensions.

Mushrooms ?

2010-12-17T19:37:00.002+02:00

(TIL)
Dependance vs Active/lethal dose
Well, I guess mushrooms (Psilocybin) is not bad after all. Nicotine is more addictive and harmful. So is Alcohol (More harmful, less addictive than nicotine).
Harm/Dependance
Issue is, people smoke shit loads of cigarettes a day, that is why I think it's more dangerous to smoke than drink.
It's interesting that khat (well known as qat) is least dangerous, but more addictive than some.
(/TIL)

My friend told me about some of his experiences while having mushrooms, funny one was, he was laying in bed, and he saw a one eyed elephant on the ceiling laughing at him. The elephant was his Ceiling light, the bulb was the eye and some wire was hanging and looked like the nose (:

Cheers and enjoy this mush-roomy link:

Backyard

2010-09-23T19:30:00.001+03:00

It's amazing how much you can do in a 350m^2 backyard. Am talking about planting.
I am now on vacation, visiting my family in Palestine, am talking about their backyard. They have 7 raws of trees, each has ~6 trees in it. Ranging from all kinds of citrus tree (Oranges, Lemons, Mandarin, Valencia..etc), to apples, annonas, bananas, almonds, mangoes ...etc.
There are also vegetables, they change every year, this year we have eggplants, chillies and some greens.

It includes some hard work, at the beginning u have to do a lot of watering, and if u do that manually, u have to deal with wild plants; those are a pain in the arse ! Specially when they have needles on them. We use some techniques for watering that supplies water to all trees at once. Yet, this is not enough. Some trees require more / less water, so u have to deal with them manually, Specially in their season of fruit. You also have to deal with nutrition for the trees, bugs and tree diseases.

The outcome, its just amazing !, right now it's the season of guavas, banana, apples, and all kind of citrus trees. Other than the vegetables of course. It's amazing to get every day sth like 6kg of fruits from the backyard, going there in the morning, looking at the trees and collecting their goods, having a great fruit breakfast, makes it worth all the trouble you go through to reach this result. In the link below you can see pictures of the back yard, trees and fruits. Enjoy (:

I hope that I will have some nice yard in my place as well.

A hero from intifada.

2010-06-11T14:44:00.003+03:00

One of Intifada's heroes:
This is kinda old, but i just somehow came across it again, and wanted to share it with you.
The guy name is Thaer Hamad, he was born in 1980 in the village of silwad, and now he is in Israeli prison for 11 life times years. (each 25 years)
What he did, is basically, using an M1 rifle from WW2 and 24 bullets, he managed to kill 11 soldiers and injure ~9 more (20/24 hits) ! until his rifle exploded on the 25th shot. And I guess you have an Idea how armored those soldiers are. He was good ! Source.
Even the Israeli army and investigators thought that he was one of the Irish republican army or was trained by the IRA, according to this.
What I liked the most is a letter he wrote as a reply to the mother of one of the soldiers he killed, when she asked him why he did that, you can read that all here.

Life would be much cooler

If portal gun was real ! It's much easier to move through portals
If this lion was my cat ! Some action around wouldn't hurt.If this band was playing rock & roll at royal ceremonies , and my job was the drummer, who needs a better job than riding a horse and drumming ?If you could swim here:
Finally, I'll leave you with this song:

Alton towers tour

2010-03-23T22:07:00.005+02:00

I am in UK at the moment, visiting my brother, we've planned many trips and today was Alton towers day, an amazing experience I hope every one could try ! I'd thought I'd share some of this experience with you guys, so here goes:

Alton towers is a theme park built around an old rock above a nice hill in a village called Alton. Very beautiful nature in there and AMAZING theme park that mostly have nice roller coasters ! Which I love the most, first let me start with some snapshots of the nature of the place:

I guess the pictures speak for them self, the place is HUGE and amazingly beautiful (:.

The rides:
First .. unfortunately we tried a very amazing and scary ride :P. I forgot it's name but basically, it goes high then stands 90 degrees heading towards the ground, and free falls ! into the ground the continues on a track, fast .. really fast and creepy !, here is a picture of the track and a video of the ride:

Second big ride was, the hex. It's a family ride that explains some spooky story about the rock in the theme park. what was interesting about it is that you enter the last room, you set on some chairs and the room start rotating ! at first it starts rising up and down then complete rotations ! and u are upside down and u don't feel much that u are rotating like other games, i dunno why, maybe because its a large thing that is rotating. I was laughing so hard there cause of that :P rotating and not feeling it much !

Third one , was Ritta, a normal coaster train but what is special about it, it launches really fast at the beginning ! check the video to see what I mean ;) . Also a picture that shows parts of the track:

Then, there was a roller coaster called thirteen, its a new one, opened 3 days ago only and it has a very nice trick :D . I don't wanna spoof it for you so if you really want to know it :P just let me know by chat ;)

Next one was a hell ride ! called nemesis, i guess the pictures would speak for them self:
And the track:
Simply, check this video on youtube to feel the ride ;).

Last big one is called Air, simply u are upside down in the ride, and turning in all direction :P , I will let the video explain:

These are the rides I liked the most, many more I just don't have the time to write or upload about . I guess its enough so far, we were there at 9 am and we left at 5 pm even though we rushed to every place and I guess we still didn't cover it all :P , so yea, a very nice place for a 2 days vacation or something, if you are going to UK, Alton towers is a must!
Cheers.

New year eve in Bonn.

2010-01-01T18:51:00.003+02:00

At Bonn, we went up a mountain that over looks both Bonn and Kolen. Unfortunately it was Foggy. Yet, the view was awesome ! There were fireworks every where. Here is a video to show some of the action:

Sorry for the voices :P But we really were surrounded and scared that we'd get shot :P.

Google is really annoying

2009-07-08T12:10:00.002+03:00

Today I was reading the every day morning RSS feeds. to find This
I mean, I am not in the mood to write a lot, but for *** ***** ********** **** sake ! What is Google exactly trying to do ? They are making pieces of software in every field and their policy of keeping every thing "beta" is really annoying.
They never finish any software. They just keep making new ones. And they are lucky because they get a lot of customers out of nowhere ! Google chrome browser got huge amount of users, I guess just for being a Google product.
Now that OS sounds cool, cause at least it is open source. but still, I'd hate it if it gets much users at the beginning just because it is Google !

The sea of gods - My journy

2008-12-20T13:56:00.006+02:00

This post is another part of the novel am working on (My journey) you can read older posts here:
My journey
The forest part 1
The forest part 2
The forest part 3
The sea of Gods part 1

Not to make you confused, those parts are different in time, your ideas might not be so connected, but just to help, "The forest" comes right before "My journey", and this story, "The sea of Gods" comes sometime after "My journey"

The sea of Gods - Part 3
Falling

For how long I have been falling into the darkest night
Angels lost their wings , crying and weeping at humanity's big lose
Deeper and deeper I go and the night is getting darker
The sound of the cry is getting louder and louder
"What have we done"
Humanity is weeping for what they did
They realize their mistake
But they just stood their crying
They always search for a savior, the crying is louder
"Who killed the sun"
I start loosing all connections with every thing around
Nothing but darkness
Even her image started fading from my mind
I can't tell if i am dead or alive, am i still falling?
"What have we done"
The crying is louder than ever, am getting closer
I can no more feel the angels
Laughter .. of the demons echoes in my mind
They enjoyed putting humans in that prison
"Who killed the sun"
There was light, their eyes were shinny
The humans were looking up at the dark sky
Waiting for the sun to shine
Still, they stood there doing nothing but crying
"What have we done"
A human nature, we always wait for a savior
We reach a level where we lose hope and cry
Waiting for something from the sky
We never search for an exit
"Who killed the sun"
We never question our mistakes
We just blame each other
And when ever we have a chance to change
We just enjoy screwing it and be proud of that
"What have we done"
And when we realize our mistakes again
We wait for a savior ...
A savior that always had been a human
A savior that WE always had created
"Who killed the sun"
We killed the sun, and we can make it shine again
We can change
We need the change to become our own saviors
We can't keep waiting for the unknown
"What have we done"
...
I hit the ground, there were no humans
I woke up on the boat alone
In the sea of gods, looking at the shores of the desert of kings again
I went no where.

End of the sea of gods part 3
to be continued

To my soul - my journy

2008-10-20T01:40:00.002+03:00

(pre. text:
1. this is part of my story (my Journey) , you can find more information in the link about it.
2. time: way in the future.)

To my soul, with haters:

We are half the way through autumn
all the leaves that fall in pain
taking the great magic of our world
smiling in the field, she still stands there

I see madness within my flesh cells
each one is wanting to kill every thing around
even the day, and keeping the darkness all the time
so she would be the only one that can see

She enjoys the dark
she fools every one with her innocence
ohh my soul how i hate you
how much I want to make you alone

You left me alone when I needed you so much
I wasted my time looking for you
you just stood there enjoying your time
standing in the field, waving at life

Behind closed eyes my mind been guiding you
but you were always in war with happiness in all of its forms
you are not gentle in any mean of dealing with life or anyone
your evil shall be over

I always wanted to find you again, always wanted to hold you
don't you want to hold me ?
don't you care that am going crazy ?
now I know that I was the victim I was the biggest fool

You guided the evil to our world and put the guilt on me
you are enjoying humanity foolishness and slavery
you announced me the enemy
and you just enjoyed your victory

My queen

2008-10-17T03:54:00.002+03:00

This is to my queen, its no more "that girl" because now I know her name (N.I), its been a year since the first time I talked to her (:, unfortunately its been more than 5 months since the last time I saw her!

My queen
I am sure I have written a lot about you, and so many readers are wondering who you are, unlucky for them, because one never knows how tasty the honey is, no matter how much he heard about it until he tastes it, I saw you and I just can't get enough of you, your smile, your magic, every thing (:

Every day, every where i go i just can't find anything more beautiful than her, with her beauty she shall always be number one on earth or any land I passed by in my fantasy worlds in dreams or in reality, when I see her I can't tell what is real and what is dream, her beauty is way more than you could imagine or dream about, she is something else from outside this world.

Her eyes, they are just wonderful, like stars very far and mysterious yet you always enjoy looking at them but no matter how much you try you will never reach them, you can keep looking for ever and you shall always be fascinated. they are more than just stars, they are the lights that angels of love in the roman legends enjoyed, they are the hope that kept every lover waiting for his love to come back, they are the light of happiness for every one around.

Her smile will make you a poet, no matter who you are, you will just be amazed, grab your pen and start writing, its a secret that a thousand Monalizas can't have, that would take all Da vinci's life time to draw, it gives you an eternal hope in this life that shall never let you down, a magic of her beauty, of her smile.

Her cheeks are jewels enchanted by angels, a soft touch on them will reject you from this life and throw you above the clouds with an amazing feeling of cuteness, beauty and adore, so soft and so nice, will make you an angel with their special spell so pure and so loving for this life, another magic placed in her since the beginning of time.

her lips, embracing her smile are rulers that will enslave you to her beauty, a kiss from them shall make you happy for ever, a kiss to remember, full of passion that shall make you for ever a lover and a servant standing by her side trying your best to serve her, to get every evilness away from her, a magic that will make you enjoy life in a way you never did before.

She is embracing beauty with her magic, she is a new kind of joy to this earth, and even in heaven I am sure I'd find no trouble at all enjoying an eternal life there just looking at her and i shall never get bored.

Despite all her beauty and magic, she is humble, friendly and so cute (:, I really enjoy talking to her no matter how short it was and how sad she seems, she still can spread her magic god bless her, my queen.

"that girl", my queen

Tales of Nour

A rose:
Wearing a nice green dress, walking in a field of roses. The air gently touches her face, moving the hair away and showing her beauty to the world. She smiles, she always does.

She is a rose her self. A unique one with magical colors and an addictive smell. The most beautiful rose in any field. A rose that will be sacred into history. A rose no one sees would ever forget. Will make you wish an eternal life to live with it.

Unlike other roses she never dies. She keeps shinning the whole year, through all seasons; tough or fine; she will shine, giving hope for the entire field. A hope for a nice tomorrow, a better future and a beautiful life.

As she leaves the field roses cry. They start swinging with the wind, trying to cast a magical spell to keep her inside. Nour with a wonderful kiss in the wind spread love into the entire field, making it peaceful again. Leaving her aroma behind the field wishes for a longer life to share such a fascinating spell with the world.

In the city:
In a city full of people walking aimlessly toward fading goals, a pale moon in the sky throws its shadow on the endless streams. She walks alone with her magical eyes. The moon shines again.

For her beauty the moon would light, amazed by the wonders the earth could have. It witnessed them all from the birth of humanity; Adam and Eve arriving to earth, great prophecies through history, magical pieces of art never forgotten and many scenes we never knew off. But she is different.

She is a prophecy her self, she is the heart of art and she is one of her kind. A beauty never witnessed by the moon before. A beauty that will keep the moon wondering for ever whether it is actually dreaming or is she really a goddess walking on earth.

The streams of people carry on toward their sea. Some noticing her beauty; few amazed and most just close hearted. They carry on with their disturbed minds. Nour smiles trying to save them, she keeps trying.

By the sea:
In the summer, she enjoys a day on the beach. The sea stays calm, calm to hear her singing, to hear her chant ! Wishing to silence every one around to hear no one but her.

Yes she also sings. Her music is her lovely spirit, and the words are her smile. She chants and the angels listen carefully. The sea stays calm seeing no one but her. The people carry on their joy unaware of her voice, but feeling the calm sea they joy too.

The sea heard about fantasy mermaids the human always talked about. And that day it thought it saw one. More beautiful than it ever thought she would be. It wished she was one of the mermaids human dreamed about, that she would jump in and stays deep their for ever.

The day come to an end, and Nour heads home. The sea watches her leave and thunders with waves, crying and wishing she would stay more. She looks back and smile. The sea calms down and lives hoping she will be back again.

In a garden:
Nour walks between the trees. A beautiful spirit flying by them, a spirit they never thought it actually exist; the spirit of the tree of life they always wished to see. She is walking by their side.

The trees tries and tries, they want to leave the ground and dance around that spirit. They are willing to sacrifice their lives, leaving their ground just to have a final dance with her before they die. But the spirit calms them down, giving them hope that she will pass by again, that she will embrace them with its aura once more. The trees revive and live with hope.

The garden she is in is surely a part of heaven. The sun shines and smile on that garden, a beautiful scene she perfects that explorers always had in mind, journeying to find that magical piece of art. Few of them got that rare chance, and most did not.

Those who saw her, can not describe what they have seen. They keep that image in their minds, they keep smiling and they go on living their life with an amazing hope they never thought they would have.

Is it the end?
As the tales come to an end, and the curtains are about to fall down. People cry for more. They want that play to go on for ever, they want to keep watching Nour for ever. The curtains come down.

The people feel sad but they all still have hope. Hope because she is still their, alive in our world. When ever she is their, there is hope, beauty and endless kindness. A hope every one needs. A beauty never witnessed before. Kindness that would bring peace to any heart.

In all seasons she shines, her beauty is amazing that my words can never describe. The play CAN go for ever, and will do, for her image will never fade from people's mind, from the moon's mind, from the sea's mind, from the trees, from wherever she was. Nour will always be there smiling, and giving hope.

The sea of Gods - My journey

2008-09-15T10:08:00.001+03:00

This post is another part of the novel am working on (My journey) you can read older posts here:
My journey
The forest part 1
The forest part 2
The forest part 3

Not to make you confused, those parts are different in time, your Ideas might not be so connected, but just to help, "The forest" comes right before "My journey", and this coming story, "The sea of Gods" comes somewhere after "My journey"

The sea of Gods - Part 1

My journey is over in the desert of the kings, and now am standing in front of the sea of gods with only the scroll of light in my hand and the sword of eternity in the other, not knowing what to do, just standing there and waiting, thinking of all what happened so far... Should I keep going and try to take the demons out or should I just quit and leave humanity alone, all the dead and all the risk that have been taken worth nothing ?, I've waited for a long time and I couldn't feel it, I was just lost in my thoughts.

I woke up in a boat, must have been in a coma, there were two persons on the board, couldn't tell if they were males or females, I just asked for some water, and they brought me, I took a sip then went back to sleep again.

They awoke me sometime later, they were a man and a woman, I asked them "who are you?"
"We are here to take you through the sea of gods"
"you were too late"
"you are so weak!" she said
"Ohh, I've seen this before, it might be a Déjà vu"
"What is a dii-ja-voo?" she asked.
"Hmm, it is when you see something happening that you feel it happened before, like that movie on the TV Deja vu?"
"You've seen us before?!!" she asked amazed.
"What is a tee-vee?" he followed
"Too many questions :s, a TV is umm ... pictures?"
"You couldn't have seen us , immortals can't see us on earth" she kept talking
"You draw things and put them in a Tee-vee?" he asked
"Forget about the TV, it's a long story, and why can't I see you?"
"Because we always been in this sea, and we never left!" she said with an angry tone
"Just calm down" the man told her
"Where are you taking me?"
"We don't know, we just pick up people and gods guide our boat" he said
"If it wasn't for us you'd have been dead by now in that desert sun, but we didn't want you to die, there are way worse things awaiting you than death" she followed
"Yes, I guess you are right, I've been through such a thing before, when my first love left me, and when my soul left me all alone, do you think they will ever come back to me?"
"Your soul maybe, but your lover, never" he said
"A soul is enough for you, who needs a lover? Stop being whiney!" she said
"I guess you are right, just stop that tone with me!"
They were silent then, I said "how much long do you think this boat journey is going to take?"
"What's her name the girl you loved" she asked
"Does it matter? And still I want an answer"
"We never know, but we can tell you when it is about to get over, usually it takes a couple of years" he said
"A couple of years! That's a lot!"
"I am seeing some girl in your future, so tell me, that girl might be her" she said with a calm tone now
"Her name is Nour... is it her?!"
She was silent for a moment, then said "I see no Nour, I am sorry"
"There is some food on the other side of the boat if you are hungry, we are going to get some fish for the night" he said
"Its ok, I guess I'll wait for the fish, am not hungry for now, so what is your name?"
"I am called Rav, and she is Rava. And you?"
"You don't know me?"
"We know, forget it" she said

I stood up and walked around the boat, the sea was so calm and looked endless, I am loosing it, I don't see anymore visions, I don't know where I am going or what should I do next, I can't remember any sea in my dreams ...
My soul, will you always be away from me?
My soul, you have always been my best companion.
My soul, why would you hurt me when I've been always good to you?
My soul, why would you throw me to such a scary destiny and leave me by my self all the way
My soul, if you are listening to me please be next to me.
My soul, you know how much I need you, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have survived the desert of the kings
My soul, I am dead without you, you have the answers am looking for
My soul, without you I won't remember anything from my path, my dreams and my visions.

I've kept looking in the water, but she never replied to me, she hates me for what I did, and I can't see her forgiving me ever, I released the demons into my world and stole it's beauty and let it burn into their desires, new desires every day, new control, new humiliation to humanity, they really knew how to control humans through sorrow, fear and lust.

I guess I need to have some rest, all I can do is waiting for this boat to settle somewhere, I walked back to where I was, every thing was fine, in the distance there were some green lightening objects in the water, I asked "what are they?"
"Its said that they used to be strong fighters for gods in the past, but they failed the gods so they got in those shinny prisons, and no one knows about them, but some legends say that they sometimes awake and attack boats here and whom ever they attack just disappear!" she said
"But that never happened through the 300 years we spent here" he said
"Look! They are moving"
"OMG! They never do that" he said
"Maybe we should try to change our track"
"WE CAN'T!" she screamed, "It is true! They can move, we are dead".

End of part 1
(To be continued)

2008-09-12T11:00:00.001+03:00

Through countless years I shall keep waiting by the mighty sea for your return, telling it how much I miss you and how much lucky it is having you.

Today, actually now, is the launch of the first beam at the LHC, this should be a big advantage in the world of physics, this is only the first beam, it will check that every thing is working in the LHC, we'll have to wait 2 months for the other beam to be ready where the real work will be done! Can't wait.
Today is my birthday, and finally goes a good memory for my birthday (:, unlike last years of 11th-sep or attacks on my city or whatever bad used to happen!

HDD inside

2008-09-10T01:33:00.007+03:00

We were working today on our graduation project (me, staiii and walko) which is a mobile wireless adhoc network (MANET), we got to buy some hardware, we went to fundirectory to pick it up, when we got back home we discovered that its not the hardware that we wanted ! so we got back there to get a replacement and by the time we were home again it was 11 sth pm, too late to do anything but to dis-assemble a hard disk! (This is not the first time I do it, but it was the first one with a camera on hand).
It was fun.
We engraved our own tracks on the plate inside :P, it was crystal clear,now its .. full of scratches :D, actually tracks, because the scratching was done while it was on and rotating, yea, it has a pretty strong motor! Enjoy the pics:
The reading head, looks like a crocodile.
The plate before touching it.
The plate after some tweaking :P
The throne of the plate.
The plate in peace.
The plate in war! with our screw driver engraving tracks on it :P.

Whats next?
The plate is gonna go on someones car, or its just gonna be used as a weapon for rising robots !
The head is gonna be made as a nickles, in case you forgot sth you put it on your head and it will read your brain data and get it our for you! , anyone interested ? cheap prices :D

Amazons AI Competition - GeeX

2008-09-09T14:09:00.006+03:00

My friends at GeeX started an AI programming competition, So If any of you guys are interested hope you'll join us, here it goes:

Yo.

I was talking to our good friend Suhib Al-Sisan the other day, when one idea to another, we conceived an idea for a new programming competition.

*Intro*

Amazons <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_the_Amazons> is a board game, it is mainly a territory game. *It is really fun!* The rules are simple, yet you will be amazed to find the game requires some good thinking. It is not as hard as chess, but not as easy as 4-to-win (or whatever it is called). It's perfect when you don't want to get bored playing, yet you don't want to
exhaust yourself thinking.

I have programmed many version of it, we (that is, me, Waleed and Mohamad Qasem) actually did a physical version of the game as a project in one course! Some of those verison were multiplayer over the internet, this helped me (and I think the other players) realize how fun it is.

*The Competition*

I once tried to write an AI to play it, and it wasn't bad for my first time. This came up while chatting with Suhib, and *the new competition's idea is as follows*: Each participatant writes an AI, in his prefered language (more to come about this), then the AIs are run against each other, probably in a tournament style to find the best AI.

To accomplish this,* I started by writing "the Central Unit". The Central Unit allows you to* run your algorithm, and play against it, or make multiple algorithms play against each other while you watch their moves (or you don't, and just see the results).

The first version of the Central Unit is attached in this email (v0.5? Seems reasonable for now). It took around 6 hours of work, the graphics are taken from Wikipedia (I plan to use my own graphics, but I don't have them on my laptop for now), and I am providing it under GPL, or whatever *:P*. Expect the code to be very ugly, but working. I'll be cleaning stuff up if I find
you guys are interested.

*Central Unit (CU) Manual*

So, CU comes in a ZIP, extract and run "main.py". Under Linux this would be "sudo python main.py". You need the sudo part because the script hooks up to port 80. You access everything from your browser, opening "localhost". I did it that way to make it cross-platform, without much overhead in coding or installing.

The game has two players as you should know by now, white and black. Either of the players can be a human or a script at any point in the game (you can switch back and forth as much as you want).

Now, regarding programming language, your program has to be runnable from a terminal, and ends its process by itself. Before the program is ran, a file named "amazons.in" will be generated in the folder containing "main.py". *This file will contain the information about the current board, and the list of all moves as follows*:

- First 10 lines each contain 10 characters. Each line represents one row of the board. Those characters are ASCII characters representing numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, 3}. A "0" represents an empty square, a "1" represents a marked square, a "2" represents a white queen, and a "3" represents a black queen. The first character represents the sqaure a1, the last character of
the first line represents j1.
- This is followed by a line containing a value *N*, representing the number of moves played so far.
- This is followed by *N* lines, each representing a single move, expressed as a string of the form xn-xn/xn, where "x" is a letter from "a" to "j", and "n" is a number from 1 to 10. The first part represents where the queen was moved from, the second where it moved to, and the last where an arrow was thrown. Those lines each always matches the regular expression:"^([a-j])([1-9]|10)-([a-j])([1-9]|10)/([a-j])([1-9]|10)$".
- Lines are seperated by a carriage return and a line feed ("\r\n").

Your process should read this file, and write another file "amazons.out" in the same folder, *containing the move it decided to* *do* in a format similar to the move described above. An optional empty line afterwards is accepted.

*Your process HAS TO THEN END*. The CU won't kill your process and will not return until your process ends. If you are writing your code in MATLAB syntax, I recommend you use octave instead of MATLAB, it starts kind of faster and it ends really nicely.

When playing as a human, click the square from which you would like to move your queen, followed by the destination, followed by the place of the arrow.

*Things You Should Know*

- The code is not yet finished. I am providing it early to see how many of you are interested, and allow you to start working on your AIs early on.
- Some features aren't yet implemented, in particular, the CU doesn't know when a game is over. This also means the "Fast Forward" and "Forward to End" aren't implemented yet.
- I know you can click on squares that don't make sense, nor follow the rules when are you playing as a human. This is because the CU deals with a human player just like a script player, it only evaluates the move when asked to (when you click next "Step Forward" for script or when you choose the place of your arrow for human). I might fix that later on.
- So far none of us has written an AI for it, so you can either start playing it human-vs-human, or implement your own AI. I think I will be doing one soon.

Feel free to reply if you have any questions.

I am looking forward to hearing your comments and suggestions (and excitement about the idea? *:P*).

That innocent smile

2008-09-08T08:17:00.002+03:00

Its been a year and a half since my first post "Starting the series"
The word "meh" always been there (:, I love that world, specially when you listen or talk to an annoying doctor in the university you just keep thinking in your mind "meh, meh, meh" among the "blas" and the "yada yadas".

I feel relaxed thinking about that word, meh ... never care about anything annoying and just enjoy the world, as walko says "ph33r the m3h within j00".

Just enjoy the beauty of "meh" guys, life becomes easy.

Story girl

2008-08-31T00:13:00.001+03:00

Inspired by god's most beautiful creation, N.I

Story girl

more cute than Cinderella, more beautiful than snow white, creating the most beautiful story in my life, she taught me how it feels to be alive, how it feels to make people around you smile, sacrificing all the time.

her story is so amazing, it never made me bored, and i would love to see her living that story and creating it moment by moment, i am sure i missed a lot so far, but it doesn't matter, i am lucky i was able to find her lovely story...

a story of happiness, of beauty of cuteness, of innocence, words are not enough to describe her, i am sure i will never find enough words to describe that amazing girl, and what ever i write, she deserves more, and am surely not good enough to write her story for you

a story that makes every one happy, a story that should go on forever into history for the beauty of its hero, nour, a wonderful tone, an eternal music that shall never stop, a kids story, a passion story that every lover would enjoy.

she is not a regular story girl, she lives sadness, and she lives happiness, but she hides her feelings so every one could get happy, ppl around her, and ppl reading her story, and still, there are ppl evil enough to dare to hurt her and make her sad

a story created by god, creating its amazing creature, and making her life a wonderful story, that still miss a writer, a guy who could tell all the world about her beauty, about her smile, about her full of life face, about her ... million of books could be written, and a reader shall never get bored.

starting on 19th/11, her story began, a beautiful baby every one loved, every one enjoyed carrying in his arms, she grew up a kid full of passion and emotions, having fun at her life, creating more and more lucky friends, she still felt loneliness .. a cruel world

I wish I could hold you, and save you from this world, keeping you happy, protecting you for ever, sacrificing my life for that.

Every thing beautiful you hear or see will remind you of her, she is like a beautiful music you hear when you are happy or when you are sad, she is like beautiful nature making you relaxed … she is like a warm night making you enjoy life, she is like every thing beautiful, more beautiful than any poem or novel.

she's been living her life in the humans land, leaving fantasy lands for this humble world, bringing beauty and happiness to every creature

god's most beautiful creature, angels are jealous of our world for having her, they even come to gather around her all the time forgetting about all the crisis in this world

i am glad that am a human because she is, and i was one of the most lucky humans in life to be with her at the same college, to meet her, to feel her smile..., that surely made me alive, that made me enjoy life in a way i never knew!, god bless you nour

Norman Finkelstein talking about Hezbollah

2008-08-29T22:08:00.000+03:00

This video is pretty interesting and deserves watching, cheers.

Norman Gary Finkelstein [Wikipedia] (born December 8, 1953) is an American political scientist and author, whose primary fields of research are the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the politics of the Holocaust. A graduate of SUNY Binghamton, he received his Ph.D in Political Science from Princeton University. He has held faculty positions at Brooklyn College, Rutgers University, Hunter College, New York University, and most recently, DePaul University, where he was an assistant professor from 2001 to 2007.

On May 23, 2008 Finkelstein was denied entry to Israel because, according to unnamed Israeli security officials, of suspicions that "he had contact with elements 'hostile' to Israel". Finkelstein was questioned after his arrival at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv and placed on a flight back to Amsterdam, his point of origin. Officials said that the decision to deport Finkelstein was connected to his anti-Zionist opinions and criticism of Israel. He was banned from entering Israel for 10 years

A new god born in india

2008-08-28T23:01:00.001+03:00

His name is Keron i guess, he was born in India, he is a little kid born with 2 heads :/, I wonder if he will survive or not.
But in India, those kinds of kids are believed to be gods ! and already over 150k person have gathered around the hospital where the baby was born trying to look at him or get blessed or what ever :S.
Anyway, I just hope that the kid lives somehow and the people to leave him alone (for a while at least) then discuss the god thingy!

Yahoo®, anouncing war on microsoft?

2008-08-27T07:26:00.000+03:00

Today i opened my Internet explorer and the homepage was Yahoo... check the picture:

Yahoo! recommends the new Firefox 3

So, seems that Yahoo! didn't like the offer Microsoft made to buy that big company, and they declared a war against Microsoft products ! ... or it is simply that they loved Firefox 3, who knows !.

Son of the river

2008-08-27T01:45:00.001+03:00

this is chapter 2 of my story "Swimming up the current" which I wrote long time ago! Hope you'll enjoy.

Son of the river

The same scenario occurred and the boy got the letter, and of course he loved the idea, he sent a message down the stream telling the guy down the river that he will start moving in 4 days which mean that they will meat after 6 days according to their calculations.

And so he did, he left his family after 4 days without telling them, he didn't feel any sorrow regarding that, he was so connected to the river that he didn't care about his family, his life was centered around the river and what it could provide to him, he walked and walked, two days passed and nothing .. nothing changed, still the same trees animals and water but no one around, he kept walking for four days without any trace of anyone or any guy, the silence that surrounded him made him feel scared he couldn't go on anymore so he decided to go back, on the way the river was his only companion, eating its fish and drinking its water and four days passed on his way back home.

Still no signals "I didn't change my course! I should be home by now ..." those thoughts made him more and more afraid, by the fourth day noon he reached the area where he lived! Where he used to play, write his letters… but there was no one, he was sure of it! He couldn't find his house, he wept... he went to the village but no one there, he spent that day by the river thinking, then for days he walked up the river , down the river, but no one would appear, he is all alone now.

Time passed, he couldn't realize how much, his loss was so big that he stopped counting days, and finally he decided to stop and start living again... he built a new house where his family used to live, he lived by the river and it became the only thing that takes care of him, he grew up, years have passed in which the river didn't change its current direction, it kept going down, he became the son of the river for it was his father, mother and all family, all the world.

He started to forget about his family until that day when he woke up with this strange feeling of sorrow and longing for his family, he went out of the house and saw something he haven't seen for a while, the river was going up in a very angry way !, he stared at it and there was a bottle !, he rushed toward it with feelings of fear and confusion, he opened the bottle, a message inside, it was his family this time "help us son, you must find us, we are you are only family and we love you", there was a symbol down the message it was the letter M inside a circle drawn in a creepy way, the symbol glowed and dark smoke started to go out from it, it filled the area around him, he felt paralyzed, it kept going out until the sky turned dark, the weather chilly and the water so warm, he felt so lonely like never before, he lost his mind he loves no one now, he has no feelings, he is just a figure standing by a river within a dark sky, the son of the river is lost.

questions

2008-05-05T23:21:00.000+03:00

I am working on a project with my friends for the Jordanian technology parade, taking place in JU -Engineering faculty on the 13th and 14th of may, they emailed us asking some questions about the project .. and we answered ... ehh !:

A- what was the most enjoyable thing about developing your project?

The challenge; at moments when everything seemed impossible, a simple idea revealed a lot of hope.

B- What are the lessons you learned from this project?

- Read the "friendly" manual first.
- Researching hardware is bigger of a task than one initially thinks.
- If it doesn't work, try again. If it still doesn't work, try again, and again, and again. It will work.
- Working environment and tools used affect productivity.
- University teaches you nothing when it comes to practical implementation of ideas.

C- Why do you think your team should win?

Although it is not our graduation project, we have spent a good amount of time, since we believe first-hand experience is the best way to learn.
We believe in sharing of knowledge, and plan to put all our work in the public domain.
We think our project will benefit many people, either by using the design or the ready product, and our approach is inspiring for students to use their knowledge to build their own tools.
We have proved we can work as a team.
Winning is fun.

Swimming up the current

2008-04-30T02:26:00.000+03:00

A very old story I wrote, it is full of typos and ... other stuff :P , this is chapter 1, out of 12 chapters:

swimming up the current
Once there was this little kid, living with his family beside a river, they lived a very simple life, waking up in the morning, getting food and having lunch ,farming the land.. then going to sleep, they lived in their own world, they used to get fish from the water, they used to hunt in the woods, they were away from their village,

The little kid grew up by the river, he loved it so much he kept watching it when it changes its current direction each day , wondering why it does that , he couldn't get enough of its water wondering what is the source of that water !, later he decided to write a letter , hoping that it could reach to the source, and he could know every thing about it, and so he did and put it in a bottle:
"hello , I am the boy living by the river, I always loved the river, and it is becoming a part of me. Master of the river, I hope when ever you get this message you tell me more about the river, and how do you create its water, and give it its yummy taste, I hope you can give me answers, and I will be so glad"

When he wanted to put it in the river, he wondered whether the source was up the stream or down. so he stopped , since that time , the river never changed its direction .. it kept going down for a whole week ! Which made the boy decide to throw the bottle in it.

Days pasted, the water kept going down for 4 days.. the fifth day in the morning, the kid woke up and noticed that the river current has changed ! and now its going up !he spent all that day waiting by the river . and then he saw a bottle, he jumped directly into the water he was so excited and afraid that it might just fly before it gets to him !!! he got it, opened it and read:
"hello boy living by the river, i am just like you, always looked for the master of the river, always loved this river, and wrote him a letter, but your message is what i got as an answer, the river has been going up for the last couple of days, and this day, it got down and i got your letter, i am afraid we will never find the master of the river"
The boy was shocked, and sad , he couldn't find the source, the master he desired , no answers but more questions.

The boy went to his room sad and slept, the next day the river was going down .. and it kept going down for a whole week, the boy started to wonder , the letter he got said that the water was going up , in the same time the water was going down at his side, and now its going down , it was like if it is asking him for more letters, sth weird, maybe the master lives in the middle of the river, maybe i should write another letter ...:
"hello person down the river, the current was going down here for the last week, i just want to ask you , what is its direction over at your place ?, and tell me more about your area , what kind of trees and animals do you have ? do you get a lot of fishes in the river? tell me more about it"

Four days letter, the current changed, and the boy waited again .. a bottle coming down the river so he jumped , and read:
"trees, animals and fish? what are those ? never heard of them !, the water here is black, and so hot , the air we live in is freezing , and the spirits are really lovely, we all love the hot river and enjoy having fun in it !, the river have been going up for the last week and the other day it went down and i got you letter, i think there is sth mysterious , don't you think we should meet and try to figure things out ?, seems the letter needs 2 days to get to you , i think we need a one day walk to meet if you went down and i went up, are you in ?"

her smile

2008-04-29T01:37:00.000+03:00

WOW ! its been 2 weeks since my last post, i mean, ir felt like it was yesterday :/ .. ehh,I still have nothing to write about .. actually am not in mood , I dunno why :/,I will just post one of the stuff I wrote a while ago .., called her smile .. another emo thingy, enjoy it :P :

She gives the people happiness, like an angel sent from the sky, spreading its lovely wings all around...
With her smile, she could move any sadness away, she will make you forget every pain, such a lovely smile

Like a butterfly flying in the garden, giving her spirit to every rose so they could
survive, like a bee working all day long just so the people could taste the lovely honey

Like an innocent baby, smiling without realizing how scary the world is, just because it makes him happy, it makes every one happy, a great bravery to face this crazy world.

A well crafted smile, embracing the most beautiful face on earth, she would smile at you even if she doesn't know you

Mirrors smile back at her, and go jumping around in the other world talking about what they saw

Angels would gather around her to enjoy that scene, that amazing laugh of her will show you the real meaning of being happy

A god bless, sent on earth, a new kind of a prophet sending the message of love to every one she sees, to every one encountering her

Creating the most lovely aura ever, healing every one getting inside, healing the pain of every human... a real "nour", sent from above, sent with the most beautiful secret, that a lot of humans cant find, the secret of her smile, a big part of the source of every thing happy .. But is she really happy?

Rally in jordan!

2008-04-15T11:54:00.000+03:00

You guys know that the World Rally championship is passing through Jordan this year ! which is really amazing ! I was waiting for this for the last year to be a volunteer and see all the heroes there, and I think our university (JU) is offering this chance for the students, which is great, I hope they accept me :S, and btw, its not World Racing Championship as they are announcing at the university :S

I was checking WRC website the other day, and they were talking about the next stage in Jordan .. this took my attention:

It's a shame there's no beer though right?

Wrong! Jordan - and Amman in particular - is just like any other modern day forward thinking country. The nightlife in Amman rock and rolls into the early hours and just pop into the local supermarket to fill up the cool box with supplies. Forget what you might have thought about the Arab World, Jordan is liberal, vibrant and loves to party!

nice, huh ? ;) , you can find more here: http://www.wrc.com/jsp/index.jsp?lnk=201&featureid=759&pageid=-1

So, seems its gonna be a lot of fun, I will get to see the great FORD,Citroen,Subaru , Suzuki .. and any other non-team members cars , such as Mitsubishi and what ever ppl like for racing, I will get to see great races such as S.loeb(citroen), S.solberg(Ford), P.solberg(subaru), C.atkinson(subaru) .. and alot others !.. ehh, I hope they accept me as a volunteer :/

Didnt say goodbye

2008-04-14T16:21:00.001+03:00

She held a very lovely rose and was wearing her most beautiful dress, she could feel the air touching her skin and playing with her smooth hair ... A message on a paper was behind her, she took a look at the sky, closed her eyes and jumped.

A suicide note, that's probably what is it, but why would she do that?! Was it her boyfriend who suddenly decided to stop talking to her, she used to tell me how much she loved him and couldn't leave him, so did he but they decided somehow that its impossible to work out! Or was it her parents who always bugged her about everything and like never made her happy or was it her annoying friends who never stood next to her, this unfair world could give her endless reasons to take such a decision.

She could feel that she was floating in the air, she had a mix of happy and sad feeling; happy about how much petty the people would feel for seeing such a beautiful girl committing such a thing, or how much sad she will make them but her sad feelings, she never realized at all.

Petty? and why would it make her happy?, she is acting the victim of a scenario of her own and she want the people to act as her killers, maybe she realized that she was mistaken and that's why she was sad, on the paper behind her there was only one sentence...

She opened her eye, took a final look at the sky and told it: "I am coming soon" and she threw the rose up as a beautiful comeback present to the sky, good bye cruel world is what was written on the paper and ... She hits the ground.

Arabizing

2008-04-14T16:18:00.000+03:00

Every one noticed that alot of guys use english words in an arabic form .. I just thought of mentioning some here in case you didnt know them !:
-"yalla nsaquer": nsaquer, from the english word "square", and they use it in the form of an arabic verb, to endicate that they want to go to the square !
-"awal talat sacation ma6lobeen": means that first 3 sections are required, they use the word "sacation" in the arabic plural form of some words to indicate sections !
-"3am betmasej?" , are you sending messages? ...

The list just doesn't stop, and am bored to write more now :P , so, guess the idea is clear, soon those words will become part of our slang, and later our language.

Her dark magic

2008-04-05T16:14:00.000+03:00

Her eyes have this kind of magic that will change your dark nights into shinny days.
That magic will make you stand outside her walls waiting to see her shine.
That magic will make your tears fall and burn the ground underneath you waiting for her sympathy.
That magic will make your soul fly, looking for her every where and you'll just sit there waiting for your soul to come back and tell you about her.
That magic will imprison you, and discharge your powers until you see her again.
That magic is surely the best thing that will happen in your life, it gives you the ultimate happiness, a Nirvana and then simply you wish to close your eyes for ever to keep that magic inside.
That magic will make you a poet, staying all night long giving your self into your words and writings, you'll start loosing your self inside them until you vanish within your papers.
That magic will make you high, will make you crazier than anything ever, it'll make you scream out of happiness when she is around and will make you silent when she is not, waiting for her like a baby inside his mom waiting to see the light that makes him cry.
That magic will take you to places no one ever been to, it will make you confused between what is real and what is a dream, it will make you lost.
That magic will make her your queen, trying your best to serve her and never to see her sad.
That magic will sometimes make you a feather floating with the wind, unable to do anything or any change.
That's the magic of her eyes, the magic that made me lost in her eyes, your magic my queen (:

emo .. huh ? (;

Take a chance

2008-04-05T00:33:00.000+03:00

Take a chance, because there might be no tomorrow
Don't loose a friend, because you might not have enough years to make a new one
You don't have to believe in anything, but death, because its the only true thing to happen
Look away, but don't forget where you are standing right now
Don't beg to fly if your wings are broken

LOVE SONG

This crazy world

2008-03-31T21:43:00.000+03:00

Floating in the sky and looking down at earth, this crazy world I have been living, am sure every one down there is jealous of me, because they all want to be free and leave that mess.
Getting into the higher level, its amazing how caring the people in the sky are ! They don't even need a master to rule (mind-wash) them, they are not sick trying to prove that they are better than others, all they do is working harder and helping each other to create a better place.
A dream, there is no such a thing called "people in the sky" nor can I fly ... Its all a dream, and how many dreams we had seemed lovely and easily approached but we just stood there doing nothing toward them and surrendered, simply we can't fly.
Slaves we are to our simple desires, we think we are using our minds but really we are using them only to serve our desires no more,we try to free our selves with achieving some works but in the end of the day, we go thinking how should we brag about that the next day, thinking that we advanced one level toward freedom but really we are becoming more slaves to our desires by that, we need a master, we need him to replace our desires and guide us the right way, guide us to work, we need to be come machines !.

ADs war

2008-03-29T21:18:00.001+03:00

I was looking at the news paper today and sth got my attention, a new ADs war seems, .. well, zain (a new GSM provider working in Jordan) started a new propaganda for its new offer , called (zain 5) , in which you can talk to 5 people on their network for free all day long, and you pay 5 piasters for each call on anyother phone in their network, and you pay 1 JD per week as a fee, here are the ADs:

Umnia (another GSM company working in Jordan) seems to not like that offer, because they had sth way better to offer ! , and they replied to zain propaganda with nice ADs, .. and they started the war (wonder what will happen later, but surely the users will enjoy it !). in umnia offer, you can talk to 10 ppl in their network for free all day long, your call to any other number is only 1 piaster ! and you pay only 1-jd a month ! , thats what I call an offer !, here are their ADs:

Algorithms fall down

2008-03-25T20:49:00.000+02:00

Basel mahafza, our Algorithms tutor, let me tell you that you made the biggest mistake in your life by teaching algorithms in my university for if you have any knowledge in life am sure it has nothing to do with algorithms!
You made the midterm exam on the 23ed of march, and it was the time to show your stupidity , making that a multiple choice exam online, containing eleven questions that a 9th class school students would be ashamed to solve!, and you tried to be on top by showing that you are a real genius! when you dared to put this question about getting the largest element in a descending array and you trustfully thought it would have a constant complexity and it would be solved in a constant time, well guess what !, computers are not clever enough to know that.
You just didn’t stop there, and thought that you should shine again... This time with the question about the multi-dimensional array of (n*n) elements, that has only (n) elements! , you once again thought that the pc would be clever enough to recognize that and solve the problem in a linear time! And your justification was... the other elements are empty, are zeros!

Well, allow me sir to welcome you for you are a:
Real life member of genius
Today we salute you Mr. Basel Mahafze, for you made new theories in algorithms that no one ever dared to talk about or mention , fix me !, you gave us a new standard for IDIOCY ! You don’t care about students or criticism, you don’t care... all you want is to be a genius, you don’t want nothing right or make sense, so go ahead and spread your theories, and don’t worry if nobody listened to you because you are still a winner at stupidity.

Your definitely not Alonzo Church and you are hoping that people would have sympathy for you and your theories, and you didn't stop, you kept arguing that you are right, and that makes you the real life member of genius ! A REAL MEMBER OF GENIUS, so stand up and be recognized and send your theories to every university out there and shine.

But let me tell you, when you want to get the maximum value in an array you will still do (n) number of comparisons, weather it is descending or not, an algorithm is an algorithm, and you can’t consider that a constant time, so I believe that you should go teach your theories somewhere else Mr. !

The forest part 3

2008-03-14T18:50:00.000+02:00

(my journey v-0.3)

At the night we sat down, me and Leo, and started thinking .. all we want is the key, all this battle, all this death just for it ! And fa6a her self didn't appear, we should do something else to get the key, this is not working.

That old orcish showed up again and said: "you were brave today humans, you fought a hopeless battle for a single belief that might not even be true, what a bravery, for that I shall help you ... I feel like I am alive again and I know how great it feels to live for a cause and am living for one now, helping you, I am willing to spare my life for that ! Now we shall start the real work , the queen never leaves her castle so we have to get inside to get the key, the three of us, its our only hope .."

-I said: "thank you old orcish, seems you are really our only hope, how could we do that?"

-The old orcish:"we shall get into the forest now and tomorrow morning when the battle starts there should be few orcs guarding the castle, we should get to the queen easily".

And that’s what we did, Leo gathered his men and ordered them to fight to the last drop of blood the next day, he assign a new leader for them and said goodbye as if he was never coming back.

I wished that they could last long enough the next day to get us into the castle before the orcish army comes back victorious from the battle, the old orcish guided us into the forest and asked us to stay under a tree until he comes back in the morning, I had to believe that old orcish because i knew he was our only hope and I felt that this is what I should do.

Leo was speechless, he was kinda sad for leaving his army back, he said in a distrust tone: “we are gonna get the key .. we should get it, I smiled and told him not to worry.

Meanwhile the evil spirits could sense that a big danger is coming toward them, but luckily they were stupid enough to think it was the battle so they ordered fa6a to send the whole army the next day to end this as soon as possible, they overwhelmed fa6a with more power and trust in her self so she did.

That night I had a dream, I float in the sky and the ink left the paper, and then I was able to talk to DEATHARTIST, he was so busy thinking so he didn’t pay much attention to me, after hours of crying at him, he told me that am gonna die the next day so i better lay back in the paper so he could continue my story, so I did, he was annoying.

The morning has shined and the old orcish appeared in our sight, "this is it, I hope he has a good plan on his mind" said Leo and I agreed, he started telling us that we have to be quick, there is no way to get inside forestia except from the main gate so I will distract the guards there until you get in and then, you are on your own, you have been in the castle before and you should manage to get to fa6a, moments later we heard the battle drums, its time we went to the castle, the old orcish lead our way to the castle, he managed to move the guards away so soon, seems he was so respected there and so we got in.

Forestia was really empty, I was able to reach fa6a's room so easily, she was shocked to see us ! So were the evil spirits guarding the mouth of hell, she tried to run away but Leo attacked her and managed to throw the key to me, the orcs in the battle could feel that their queen being threatened so they rushed back into the forest leaving the rest of Leo's army in peace.

I could feel them coming, the castle was shaking, they were in very large numbers so I rushed into the forest of morjuka .. I could feel the evil spirits, and visions started to come back ...

My soul was there this time, we were walking side by side, she started to tell me about my life, about how good I did so far, it was a real nice chat , I was wondering what that place was, and what happened to the forest.
My soul started to get away .."This is the time I have to leave you" , she said.
Is that it? Am I dead? Is this really what it feels like to die? , my soul cried for help ! I saw evil spirits roaming around her, she was trapped in hell, they key started to shine and I was speechless, I couldn't realize what is happening .. My soul is in hell.
Evil spirits were screaming because of that shinny light and started asking me for mercy, but then I was soulless body, the key kept shining until all the evil spirits vanished, some other smiley spirits came by that light , spirits of the soldiers who died in the battle, those all were set free, but my soul was not there ..

I got back into reality, I stood there for hours doing nothing, Leo came to me running and screaming out of joy, "A MIRACLE ! All the soldiers came back to life and the orcs are celebrating being free and the heal of their queen fa6a ! , So what is next brother?"

Its time to say goodbye, I have to go into hell after my soul, I have to die, greetings to the army and to the orcs, may peace always be with you, salam brother ..

The key shined and float with me into the mouth of hell, and there was my soul waiting for me,, we meet again and we continued together ... My journey.

There you are standing, all the destruction around you, you are still a lovely rose, run away with me now, lets hold each other and fly , lets reach for God and cry ! , lets scream in the sky...
GOD SAVE US ! , the world is going wrong, nature cant survive us..

You were there, beside the night ... every one is dead, but all I want is you, love comes from inside and no matter what is around you will be with me, and I will never be away.

Children cry, afraid from their future, afraid of being killers, afraid of living this monstorious life in which you have to kill to survive, in which you have to die to live, in which your heart must be black and all you would care about is money and a happy life, all you would care about is wearing our skins and eating our flesh, drinking our blood and walking on our bodies, a world where all you care about is being on top.

You just left me there alone , you just made me die to the ground , you've become one of them and you are living on the top .. you left me alone, no one to hold me now, no one to fly with me to the sky , no one to survive me, no one to live for.

Every body knows that we are going crazy, every body know that we are in war with land and all its creatures, every body knows we are all alone, every body knows the cure, every body is a killer.

Enjoying my pain ? my pain is humanity , humanity is over .. welcome to the machine world (: , and you my love, are the worst machine.

Practicing peace

2008-03-03T02:37:00.001+02:00

God bless Israel, practicing peace and killing that little girl, she was simply gonna change to a TERRORIST and tries to free her self from the Israeli occupation.

God bless Israel, changing our lifes into misery, making us apreciate life more and more, trying to enjoy it what ever it was, and we are really doing that.

God bless Israel, showing us how lovely it is to be free, and how working on that could be your ultimate life goal, and that you won't ever regret that.

One man's heaven is anothers hell. And we are living hell now, lets hope Israel is living its heaven.

AND ARE YOU HAPPY WORLD?!

Hope you are, because those kids are extremely happy and going to the ultimate heaven inshalla, only God's blessing is enough to save Israel later, and believe me , those blessing will never come.

I am happy :D

The alien shift

2008-02-24T01:14:00.000+02:00

Guys, remember the post I already did about this topic ? (you can find it here)

Anyway, today I was checking one of the resources I used for that topic (http://www.alienshift.com/) , and I came by this very interesting picture !, I dunno why its there, when i get more information , I will post here (:

Copyrights in Jordan

2008-02-23T01:10:00.000+02:00

A new thing my friend told me today, he owns a store for selling music (arabic and english), they sell the old cassets for 1 JD to 1.5 JDs , and those are legal copies, but they sell the arabic and english music CDs for 1 JD but as you can tell, illigal copies !., plus the movies they sell for 1JD to 1.5 JDs ..
In the past , when the goverment used to come to his store, they used to pay some fee for breaking the law, and just get out of it .. if he is lucky, the goverment wont take the illigal stuff, but sometimes they do, and his loss becomes very big !.
But now, a new law is out, and now the criminal investigations office is involved, if the goverment finds any illigal stuff in any of those music stores, the seller will go to jail for 48 days !!!.

I mean, for god sake, what is the use of such a law ? puting more people in the prisons , and making more families out of funding sources .. who is gonna buy a cd for 10 jds ? , people will surely start downloading those illigal stuff from the internet, most of the music stores will close now for sure, no body want to spend 48 days in prison for such a work, I am still wondering, what is the use for jordan in such a law , we are not a big multimedia producing country to get use of those copyrights, .. anyidea what good it could be to jordan ?
I am not with illigal stuff, but I dunno .. I think in such a case, let the people live .., no more poverty

Poverty in jordan

2008-02-21T14:47:00.000+02:00

I think things are getting more worse and worse by time, specially after the last raise in prices, in 2 days I heared about 3 different crimes (saw 2 of them):
-In sweeleh, near the ma3roof trafic light, a couple of guys went inside a store to steal it, and when the owner tried to ressist them, they killed him !, and ran away.
-In sports city, a group in a car ,late at 3 am, stood next to every car in a street, broke its windows, and took stuff from the inside, like the radio/casset players!.
-I heard, a guy tried to steal al iskan bank in um uthayna ? , he didnt manage to steal anything, but they got his pictures on the security cameras !

Am afraid things are gonna get even worse than this, ppl cant bear life anymore !.

massive mind storm online !

they have a big place in our world, believe it or not ?
The L word:
The L Word is a television drama series on Showtime that portrays the lives of a group of lesbian and bisexual women and their friends, family and lovers in the trendy Los Angeles-area city of West Hollywood. -- source wiki
nice isnt it? , well so far four seasons have been released, and the 5th was premiered last january, been broadcasted in almost all of the world countries (maybe soon on mbc!), and am sure it already has an intensive ammount of viewers !

nip/tuck:
Nip/Tuck is an Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning American television medical drama series created by Ryan Murphy for FX Networks. The show follows the lives of two Los Angeles (formerly Miami) plastic surgeons, Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon). --source wiki

people judge

2008-02-12T14:00:00.000+02:00

Go on, get a knife and cut your self, take some pictures and post them online..Ppl will go like : "nice ! she is an emo ! she is kewl !"

Or go get some design from the internet for a nice gadget and just implement it and show it to every one , .. Ppl will go like : "this guy is smart , we should get to know him better !"

Or go get a tune from a song and play it to every one around so ppl start to like you and get around you believing that one day you might be famous.

Or go on, and announce that you are a gay/lesb./bi .. and be proud of it! ..Ppl will go like : "thats gr8, he is trying to get his rights, he is a fighter !"

Or what about being an athiest, and making fun of others trying to look the most clever ! .. Ppl will go like : " he is very open minded !"

but dont go on and be religious , ppl wont like that .. They will go like : " get away from that guy, he might be dangerous"

Now how could you trust the ppl or their judgments anymore ?

google .. the good side?

Palestinian children hold banners during a protest in support of the Egyptian football player Mohammad Abu Trika, who showed his support with Gaza’s people during the African champion league, at a sport club in Gaza City February 3, 2008. (source: maannews.net)

As you can see from the image description, the idea is clear. Google (I dont know out of what) , removed any images of mohamad abu trika showing that shirt , some say according to requests from israel, .. i dunno what is the real reason, but it doesn't make sense.

sad as the rose of april

2007-12-26T02:23:00.000+02:00

sad as a rose of April, waving at spring ..
waving goodbye for its heaven
and accepting its hell...
leaving her smile and bright face
and accepting death and paleness..
making her last look for her friends
and turning down to the ground of sadness ..
saying goodbye to the warm spring nights
and welcoming the hot summer days ...

a rose that lost hope
when you loose hope it gets dark
you just waste your energy in the wrong direction
you get exhausted .. and start hating your self

the right way is right there in front of you ,
there is a part in you, a part of the life around you that you love
you just didn't find, you just waste your days the wrong way

as the rose of April, living spring but afraid of the summer
as the man dying in 5 years, wasting his time being afraid of his end
as a lover hanging on the hope of his partner being unreachable

you might want to fly and look from another dimension
you might want to explore your self from another way
you might want to live again

sad as the rose of April
giving her sweet honey to the bees and not accepting the bee's gift of

life
giving its all energy just to end its life
sad as a rose of april , surrendered to this life

how i get lost in your eyes

2007-12-26T02:19:00.000+02:00

it was the time we danced, all the crowd was staring at us, jealous of our beauty, the music was playing ..

"(Ooooh) if only you knew how much i do
i do love you
if only you knew how much i do
i do love you .."

we were dancing in a very beautiful rhythm .. flying on high clouds , forgetting all about the ppl surrounding us with their mysterious looks , only love was surrounding us , a great warm feeling that we wanna live for ever for the rest of our lives, we just hoped it will last for ever, and that moment we promised each other that we will try our best to make it last, once again the music echoed..

"(Ooooh) if only you knew how much i do
i do love you..."

once again we could feel the crowd around us, but this time it felts as if we were the queen and the king , and the crowds are our servants ... looking hopefully toward us , watching their rulers smiling giving them a hope in the future, i told her to live that moment , to feel that we live in a higher level all by our self with nothing but love and hopeful servants looking at us, we were the rulers in the kingdom of love , and once again the music echoed ..

"I can't sleep, tossing and turning
Girl you're all I'm thinking of
I been really in love.."

and the clock was counting down for the end of our dance, but the feelings were making every thing pass slowly, we didn't wanna leave those moments so we enjoyed them as much as we can .. the rhythm of our dance was going on until the last second of music , we stopped .. but our spirit of love went on, and shall keep going on , for i will never stop loving you babe .

me love subarus !

the forest part 2 - my journy v-.2

2007-12-01T23:31:00.000+02:00

I reached the castle of forstia , it looked kinda familiar, there was 2 guards at the main gate, i asked them to allow me in because i wanted to see their master, one replied: "you are not allowed , you can't come in!", flashbacks started to come , a final big battle... now I can see that it was against the orcs ! , but why would I fight those people? And why Leo's army is almost completely annihilated in front of my eyes! , I started to get back to reality and asked the guards "is your master inside?", and someone shouted:"allow the stranger inside", so silently the guards opened the gate for me and I went in.

All the orcish inside the castle looked sad, I started wondering what would have happened? Were they defeated ... is their queen dead? , they guided me to the queen main room, and I got there she greeted me, she was as beautiful as they told me, with that lovely smile...

She said: "you came for the key didn't you?"

I: "am glad that you were expecting me your highness, I'll be grateful if you give it to me, so I can go on with my journey"

she: "you shall never get it !, this magical key am holding granted me powers I could never dream of !, and am not a fool to just give it to you, now get out of this forest and spare your life !"

I: "but weren't you expecting me?"

She: "no, ...I ... Do I know you" ... she was silent for a while and looked sad, then that smile embraced her face again and she said: "yes, and you are lucky that you are not dead so far, I shall keep this key and protect it with my life, now leave"

I left the castle and the forest, I started wondering:" should I give up my journey? Or should I move on to save mankind, am i really supposed to do this?".. And flashbacks started to come again.. Leo standing next to me, we are in a battle against the orcs .., then I thought the only way to get the key is to fight the queen and get it by force, so I decided to go to Leo.

Leo welcomed me and asked :"what brings you back my friend?"

I said: "I want help!"

he: "our lives are your well sir!", and the whole army hailed for me and for that, I told Leo the story and I told him that we must be ready for battle so he shouted at the army "get ready for another victory my men !", and then i felt relaxed, and got a great hope in this, though Leo looked worried, he told me in private that fa6a's army is outrageous, they ruled many lands so easily lately and I heard that they are vulnerable, god be with us in this one, there should be no special plans, she can see beyond every thing and our plans will fail easily to her, we must fight in an open land and risk every thing, we will fight like heroes, and its all going to be in god's hand.

I told him not to worry, we should accept destiny, and to asked him to trust in me and he replied :"that's why we fight my friend", we started preparing and choose a battle field not far away from her kingdom.

An old orcish came to us and told us: "she knows you are here preparing to fight her, and she is preparing to fight back, you are going to be an easy task for her, victory will never be yours so leave in peace!"

I: "old orcish, it's our destiny to fight, and let it choose what is best for us"

He: "destiny ? What an unfair domain of time, our destiny is to be controlled by this evil queen? And live sadly for ever?"

I: "why is that?"

He: "since she went inside that tree she enslaved us for strange desires, not known about the nazaria family! She went into wars to rule and control many peoples and land, that key she is holding changed every thing ..."

I: "that key is what I want, I am the only one who can control it, we shall get it, my destiny is to kill the evilness held by that key, can you help us?"

he: "destiny again?, destiny failed us young man, and am afraid its going to fail you too, leave in peace and leave the suffering for us.."

I: "old orcish, I promise you, you shall never suffer again after this battle, evil shall live no more!"

he left without a word, the next day in the morning a great army of orcish warriors appeared in the field, this is the day i said !, and the battle started, we fought well and almost finished their army, but they kept reviving and new orcish hordes kept coming every hour, their numbers started to grow enormously, and our men started to fall down on the ground, I started feeling defeat and said "this is it, we are loosing, destiny failed us..", but Leo replied : "my friend, destiny saved us once and it shall save us once again, don't worry, those men believed in you, I know that something is going to happen and save us al, I hope it happens soon"

the first day of the battle was over , we lost almost half of the army, we were 10 thousands against 50 thousands of them, they didn't loose a single orcish in the field, they all came back to life ..

The forest - my journy v-.3

2007-11-26T21:33:00.002+02:00

The mighty orcs of the village of takuro'jui, loyally protecting the tree of life in the dark forest of morjuka from any outside attack, ruled by the royal family of nazerya, their queen fa6a, the daughter of luni a very well mannered queen with "curious" attentions.

The tree of life, containing the mouth of hell, the only gateway for a living immortal to get into the other life, being guarded by evil spirits living inside the tree for a long time, way before many gods were born and many heroes were proclaimed masters and kings, watching upon man kind from that tree, they can't leave the tree..

The village of takuro'jui, were not allowed into the tree, their task was to keep guarding it every day and night, their queen was always a very strong woman, with gr8 knowledge, fa6a being wise and powerful,a far sight philosopher and a good beautiful justice queen had only one problem, she was always curious, she wanted to get into that tree! evil spirits always knew that and wanted her to get in so they can be free and rule, the only key to the tree is held by the queen and only i can use it to control the spirits.

One night the evil spirits managed to mind-control one of the orc guards, and sent him as a messenger to encourage fa6a to get inside the tree , and she did , she was controlled by the spirits they used her .. they gave her ultimate powers that even some gods cant defeat, and gave her the knowledge they collected from a lot of man kind philosophers, a gr8 combination no one can defeat .. and her intentions went evil as the spirits wanted, she ruled her village to control lands after lands, and created a very large undefeated kingdom !

After i finished helping leo in his battle and granting him victory, i walked toward the forest .. and walked inside, i could sense the evil presence every where, a strange feeling , unlikely to be in such a peaceful forest, i saw an orc and asked him "take me to your master" , and he answered "she is in the castle of forestia, in the north side of the forest, near the tree of life" .. and i walked to her .

its funny because it makes you smile.
its funny because it makes you laugh..
its funny because its weird
its funny because it can't be done ..
its funny because you are sad
its funny because you are crying inside
its funny because you can't admit defeat
its funny because you want revenge
its funny because you don't want to announce your defeat
its funny because you still look happy
its funny because you are dying inside
its funny because your world is collapsing
its funny because you are still living
its as simple, its funny .. because its life, and we are living it ..

The alien shift

2007-11-16T12:29:00.000+02:00

according to the maya , the calendar of man kind ends on 2012, then there will be no more humanity on earth !, in the sumerian writings there is a plant in our solar system that completes its circle around the sun every (~3600 year) and the next time it will appear in our solar system will be 2012.
according to their writings, aliens with super powers live on that planet, they were the reason of all the science and technology the sumerians had, also they were the reason of the flood that happened in prophet noo7 time, they got annoyed of the crowded humans and their voices on earth so they flooded them !
some say that in 2012 the aliens will come and do the same, others say that they will make a "shift" , and we will be living in 4-dimensions instead of 3, a guy once found a path that was built by the aliens somewhere in the sumerian areas, it lead him to the year 2013 , where he saw an empty earth (what a lie :P).
anyway, some say it might be new hope for humanity.. weather its true or not, we shall wait and see !.

quotes:

22 december 2012, apparently that the final alien invasion will occur on earth.

"in the year 2087only 120 million people will be living on the earth"

"ALIENSHIFT believes that we all will shift to fourth Dimension. That is why Al Bielak he could not see any one the earth in 3rd Dimension."

"Here is why: 1-Mayan callendar ends at 2012 2-Al Bielak Survival of many Shadow GOV projects mentions about 2012 in his 1990 Vegas Speech. 3-Nostradamus prediction on pole shift that it will be at the time of the Anti Christ World Movement and how the Shift will destroy him with a Tidal Wave in Italy.
