Comments takes a large ear of each page what make me angry and it’s even harder when I don’t get a comment on a certain post. I appreciate your comments guys but here is why it’s closed permanently:

1. This blog isn’t a social media or news blog, I mean it’s not like TechCrunch or Mashable, it’s just a simple and personal blog. I just write my thoughts because I like to share my them with all. Eventually, getting comments on my posts is not my goal and it’s not important but I enjoy reading your comments, tho.
2. I always receive spam comments even after adding DISQUS comments system. I really hate that so much.
3. They invent what we call “Email”. If you have a serious reply to any post I write, you can email me anytime and say whatever you want, and be sure, I will reply very soon because my email is running 24/24 on Mac, iPhone and iPad, so I will get your message anyway.
4. Your right to comment ends at my front door.

I really appreciate all your comments, negative positive and even the aggressive ones. Thanks for stopping by.

Mr. Carl Fredrickson is the main actor of Up. He is really my favorite real and 3D character of all time – Let me explain Real-3D thingy later. The question here, Do I really look like Mr. Fredrickson? any chance?

I have been told that I look like Mr. Fredrickson or at least I will look like him when I reach Mr. Fredrickson’s age. I truly love him and I will be really happy if that was true. furthermore, I’m not going to kill myself if the answer was no.

Again, Do I really look like him? or will I?

My graduation project is a Windows Mobile application called “iAnswer” did you notice the name? Yes, “i-Answer” the letter “i” was a respect and expressing love to Apple Inc. and their cool products that comes with “i” (i.e. iPhone, iPad, iMac… etc) but still under Microsoft platform. It is something the well known Answer Machine, but with our application you don’t need to pay any cent to the carrier to get this feature. More and more features in this application but I can not mention them.

A learned lesson for IT people, never hate anything! Try to use as much as possible, Mac, Windows and Linux. try everything you can get and be professional in everything you use. You are totally free to use what you want but keep checking other technologies.

Honestly, I would really love to start working on my project right now but I have to learn VB.NET and go to make something useful.

Today, Graduation Projects Ideas have been announced for computer networking students, I was quite crazy when I asked my instructor and he replied :”I am writing them Mohammad, check them within an hour” seriously, I wanted to hug him as I never did, I wanted to say thank you very much for this but all I said was “Thanks!” with a very big smile. Life wasn’t so nice like it was today, it is now much better and promising of a lot of fun, I bet.

I don’t really know what to say but all I know that I am really very happy, so damn happy! I want to shout very loudly on the top of Everest mountain, God! this is crazily very strange but so good at the same time. I am worry about the begin, how to start and how to move on, but I believe that I can make a very good thing because I truly “love” that.

Many ideas around to select but I think I am going with my friends toward a mobile development project mostly for Windows Mobile. They are 2 projects about multimedia and both of them are really interesting. All I have to do is to manage for a long enough session with my friends to choose which project we are going to work on.

I didn’t get many happy days in my life before this day, this is one of my historical days which I will remember it always and forever until I die. I thought that life would never smile back at me but who knows? it is already smiling and I am really happy with it nowadays, fortunately!.

It is absolutely the best time to get some fresh air, isn’t it?

70% of people I know think that being IT student will push to learn everything, programming, computer networks and even hardware stuff. I think that I have a little bit different point and I want to discuss that because I think that many programmers and computer networking students not only in Jordan are willing to know.

Okay, a small questions, why would you buy Pizza if you don’t like it and you have many different choices? It is stupidity to get a thing you don’t like and you are really silly and a big fool if you will eat what you hate, because simply this is not for you! This example fits our issue. I mean, If you are a programmer why would you learn everything about computer networking? and vise versa.

I have been discussing that with a friend today, he said that I study in a faculty named “Computer Science and Information Technology Faculty“, therefore, you must learn programming and become a professional programmer even if you are a computer networking student! I asked him back, “What is the main difference between TCP/IP protocol and UDP” his answer was :”I don’t know!” This is what makes me feel sick! why should a computer networking student learn coding and computer science student have the choice to learn or dismiss computer networking stuff?.

I am just wondering if they know a word called “Majors” of not. I think they know but they are convinced of the idea of 1990′s which says: “Everybody should know everything”. For goodness sake, thats really wrong. you cannot learn everything in the IT world because it’s super damn impossible! you may learn basics and some extra stuff but you are not going to be an expert in everything.

When you go to find a job, every company will ask you “What is your major?” and “What can you do?” Okay, imagine that your answer was :”I code, I build networks and I work in computer telecommunications stuff”, eventually they will let you do a single thing because you must be good mostly at a thing, you are a professional programmer with some good computer networking knowledge. Be sure, you will work on something, and a single thing. You are not going to establish a network for your company and code applications at the same time.

As I computer networking man, Do I need to learn coding?

Actually, having good skills in any programming language like (Java, .NET, PHP…etc)  is quite cool, but if you don’t like coding then be sure, it’s super normal because simply you don’t have to. It’s not a mandatory option, just be good at a thing and work harder and harder to be a professional at your favorite field.

What do I advise?

I am not professional at anything because I am still student with no kind of experience but I think I can say something regarding this part. To be a good IT man is really nice but be aware, don’t pick a little of Java, and a little more of .NET, and a little more of computer networking or computer telecommunications. Just pick a topic and focus of it, make yourself a professional, understand what is your topic says, then go and get a job. It’s not that hard to understand one thing at a time. You are a human, aren’t you?

Finally, Don’t anybody to change your mind, listen and discuss but don’t take what others like as your favorite thing, make your personality and build a place for you in this world. Honestly, we will never stop seeing people who think that they are super professionals in everything, people who want to say “I am great” and nobody can do this. just let them fly away with their visions and go to do something useful.

Mostly, I finish my homework before a couple of minutes before it’s deadline, I may miss it or something but eventually, you will see that I solved it very well and correctly. So if you want to get out the best of me, don’t give me more than 2 days! Because I will be chilling out in the first day and start working in the next one. believe it or not.

It’s not laziness or neglect, It is all about the awesomeness of “Can I do that or not!” not a challenge with anybody but its like “Don’t complicate things”.

I used to hear one of my friends saying “I am going to home now to solve my homework and submit it early” and when I ask him about the deadline he says “Ahhh, Next week!!” you can notice stress and depression on his face! Dam it! You are going to solve that “homework” for the next week? Okay, go solve it but why stress and depression? Chill up buddy.

Its nice to manage your time but you shouldn’t put yourself under all these things at once. I am not a wise man but I still think that I can feel what is good and what is bad. Always remember, you cannot eat Cherry in winter, everything has its own semester (يلعن ابو الفلسفة)

Today, in a Networks Programming we discussed a very important issue with out instructor. He started this topic and we really liked what was going in the class not because we love that class but because we are in the 4th year which is the last one!

He started to ask us one by one, some answers were really very bad! I can not even mention them because they were so damn ridiculous. However, the other goals were nice, someone said :”I want to continue my studies, Master and PhD” and another one said :”I want to improve my skills and work to get money”. All of them are reasonable and good.

When he asked me, I was like “Could you please postpone this question?” but I didn’t say it because why i am the only one who will not answer this question?. My answer wasn’t just a quick answer, but it was what really I am willing to do and to be. Here is the conversation.

Dr. Hisham: Badi, what you are gonna be in the future, what is your goal?.

Me: I want to get the first Cisco certificates (CCNA and CCNP) which are necessary to improve my skills and knowledge, and I want to continue my studies as well “while working” but all of them in Computer Networks field, especially Mobile Networks and Telecommunications”.

Dr. Hisham: Cisco? okay, but why certificates?.

Me: Because i want to learn more and more about computer networks, this is the field i truly love. and work to gain money

Dr. Hisham: hahahah, Okay.. Good ones Badi, good luck.

We always need a reminder for this issue, we always need someone to wake us and say :”C’mon, wake up and open your eyes for the future”! I truly needed this conversation as a reminder and alert of the coming future, to re-setup my goals again.

I have been talking before a couple of hours to someone and I tried to help solving it but the problem was bigger than I thought, everything eventually turned around one point “Your help is useless!” Didn’t expect this reply but no problem at all.

I really started to notice couple of things showing up in every conversation I made since months in reality or on the internet! The first thing is “Assuming”! You speak over and over trying to persuade someone of an idea but at the end, he will understand what he want and he will start assuming things without even making sure if what he has understood is right or wrong. He will not ask because he want the conversation continue to drive you crazy and catch the first bad word you say!!!

Why the hell you are assuming things I didn’t say? Why don’t people ask before they say? A student will definitely ask his student to reexplain how he solved the mathematical equation but people will never ask you what do you mean because they already GOT what supposed to be “All you are saying”. This is such a very bad thing! Don’t assume anything, if you didn’t understand a point then you should ask for clarify!

That will really looks ugly way, when you get angry of what the second party is saying and it will be worst if you are speaking publicly what means that X of people are listening, Y of them are laughing, Z of them wondering why don’t you both stop this stupid and noisy conversation right now.

Today, March 15th, 2010 is my birthday! Well, I barely remembered this day and the funniest part is that my facebook friends noticed that today is my birthday and they started sending me messages and writing on my wall. Holy Crap, so what?!!!

Actually, I have been wondering about what if we started to live in the opposite way? I mean getting younger instead of getting older year after year! Although, everybody really wants that (even a 25 years old woman or man!) but I don’t think that it’s a good idea and you don’t have to ask me why because it’s such a pain in ass to explain that.

I think that getting older is much better because simply getting more years will teach you lessons and will make you so smart if you figured out how to use what life tought you during those years, It has nothing else to give, lessons, lessons over and over again. but a small lesson is simply quite enough to learn you how to live for the next 10 years of your life.

Weirdly, I found that I am very happy because I am getting older and I don’t really want to go back at all! My memories -In General- were totally great so I don’t want to go back to test myself again! What I achieved is good so far! Maybe it’s not perfect but acceptable as well. Even if my memories were bad I don’t want to go back as well!

Finishing a life stage is such a success itself, no mater how long did it take, just passing  a stage is really great and I am really enjoying jumping from stage to another so 60 is much better than 50, and 50 is completely better than 40 and so on.

That really explains and tells more about why I consider many of my friends as teenagers and why all my love stories were with girls 1-4 years older, Fine! I feel like I want to jump from 21 to 30 at once so I can find who act and think the same way I do. God, That’s impossible!!

Hold on!! What if I had the choice to “Pause” years? Sorry god but it’s not a personal suggestion, I just say “If you gave us the power to control years”. Actually, in this case I will start from the year 26 and start “Pausing” year by year, I will discover each year then I will check if people out there have the same interests! (I wont say thoughts because its not good!). Finally, I will stuck on a certain year and continue living. Imagine that? This would be totally awesome and full of fun!

Life is still promising though!

Yesterday, I went with two friends of mine to The Dead Sea and to be honest it was the first visit to the Sea!! Believe it or not, I didn’t leave Amman since 5 years for any reason and all my weekends were only in Amman. All my friends were advising me to visit places outside Amman but I was saying: “You guys don’t feel the beauty and warmth of Amman, try to feel not only see”!

We prepared our things including food, drink, games and our beloved music (Abdulhalim Hafiz, Fayrouz and Charbel Rouhana) and started our short trip at 8pm. I really enjoyed the drive and everything was totally beautiful, lights and people laughing and enjoying Thursday’s stunning weather at night. The roads to The Dead Sea and Aqaba were fully loaded with cars and motorcycles and all of them were driving slowly except few crazy drivers, they were moving and increasing speed. Also girls had fun along the way, singing and laughing.

I didn’t expect to find many people but they were more than 1000 persons divided into groups. playing, eating, singing or even dancing, all of them were totally nice. We finally landed in place where the sea was less than 50 meters away, prepared our “Arajeels” and drinks and started talking about the day. We enjoyed the music so much and we started reminding ourselves of great days in Amman! We were really very happy.

I used to end everything in a crazy way but my friend had the chance to start before I did, he said :”I really love Jordan, do you love it Mohammad?” I answered :”Absolutely yes, dido you expect another answer?” he answered :”No no.. I am just wondering. my 3rd friend was silent and suddenly said :I didn’t know better fools than you guys, but you shouldn’t ask this question again because we absolutely love Jordan so much, I have no clue why would you ask that!” we decided to shout “I love you Amman” and we truly did! People around us were starting at me (because my voice was the loudest) but I bet, they wanted to say the same!!

at 1:30am we started to preparing for leaving and go back to Amman. I could not describe how I enjoyed views at that time. Incredibly paints made by unknown artists.  Beautiful houses and lights along the way. I really enjoyed that very much but I finally figured out that I am such a very very very bad photographer at night!

Finally and at the end of this post, I want to tell that we are facing some temporarily problems in Jordan like work but honestly we still love this country, because Jordan simply gives more than a work or money, it gives the love and respect to all of us. Having a problem must not stop our love but it should give us another reason to work harder to solve and make our country a great place.

May god bless Jordan and keep it safe always and forever.. Happy BAJD everyone

It was a very nice day when my Syrian friend invited me for breakfast at a very nice Syrian restaurant. He was telling me about “Fattah” and “fol bel samnah”. I didn’t understand what he was saying because the Syrian accent is really cool, but with some weird words like “Fattah” the situation becomes much harder!

When I first saw “Fattah” I thought that I really saw this meal before, but when I started eating, the taste was really so damn delicious! I cannot describe how I enjoyed this meal after a busy and tiring morning.

Now, I still go to this restaurant mostly 3-4 times per week, mainly just to take this meal. But its more delicious when you get it in the morning.

Finally, I think that everybody should try it out. I am sure, you will love it!

Address to get there:

Directly from Jordan University street toward Tla’a Alali, next side to Modern Systems Schools. Ask anybody there about “Dina Restaurant“.

Wishing you a nice Fattah time!

Update:

via @w43L: It’s Fatteh not Fattah

But I admit it, I reached a very bad level of twitter addiction in way I cannot do anything without tweeting about it and if I didn’t I will feel so bad because I had no chance to tweet about my location and things around me. That was 2 days ago when I went to renew my National ID Card and Passport, I wanted to tweet a lot but in a place, they took my mobile, at that time I noticed that I has a very habit and I really felt so bad because I am living a very weird life and experiencing the worst side of the Internet.

I really lost a lot of hours on twitter while I was in need to every minute, but I preferred to spend them on twitter instead of using them to do my work. The time isn’t too late to control my self and stop my addiction! I have lots of things to do and I should make them as satisfactorily as possible.

I will blog everything I want to say instead of tweeting it, this will really make more sense on saying what is in my mind. Now with closed comments section I can blog anything even a post with only 140 characters! It is the same.

I do not want to stop it, but I want to reduce the time I spend on twitter. I will avoid tweeting or picturing what I used to post. A new plan has been started to come out to my life.

As I want to control my self, you should do the same tweeps! I really advise you tweeps to try control your self, try to not tweet anything for a day, and watch your situation! At a time, you will really feel so bad.

A lot of words above but a small prayer to make it real.

I always wanted to do that on my blog. No comments and no pings or trackbacks. Now I can post everything without and worry about comments. Though, you can contact me via Contact Form or my Gmail (Below).

I just want to thank all for stopping by and supporting me since I started blogging and until this moment. and I am really sorry for hiding your comments.

I love blogging and I will continue Inshallah, no worries.

Thank you all

Lately, I figured out that some friends have understood my respect toward them as a weakness, therefore, they gave themselves the right of saying anything at anytime. Eventually, I was really angry and mad on some of them who supposed to be matures and know what they say. It was my rule about a perfect friend but I have changed it to a new one:

Treat people as they treat you and the respect is a very important thing you should always keep in mind! If the reaction was the opposite or not what you have expected, treat the one as he did.

This is really working just fine. Now i don’t need to open a conversation with anybody (rarely happens) because I just smile and leave the place or I pretend that I am really busy.

Hopefully to see better understanding and acceptance for people with different views.

For me, i should change my whole life and  I really need that. 2009 wasn’t so bad but I made lots of mistakes and honestly I don’t want to make them again this year. I’ll try to do my best to make this year perfect ESPECIALLY my studdies, it’s the first thing that must be changed to a better state.

By the way, I think that I am going to announce some good news this month about my studies and work. Happy new year again!

Me: “So what?

Friend: “Are you kidding? I said the end of world which means the end of life and honestly I don’t want to die early!”.

Me: “Actually I do not complain about these things, It’s God’s will, nobody can stop it. I am a good person so I am not worry about this and you should be the same. Eventually, we’re going to die sooner or later”.

Friend: “Hmmm.. What?”.

Me: “Don’t worry, just enjoy your life and be good at the same time, it’s not that hard”.

Here are what I have got from a 5 hours conversation (too long but amazing):

When you meet someone smiling and always happy, do not tell him any bad story, because he may hide sadness behind these smiles! just let him enjoy the moment.

Life is beautiful, whatever you see or hear, life still beautiful! You may see bad people with black hearts but be sure, those people are few and the good people are everywhere, around you.

Don’t discuss anybody randomly, discuss who understand, listen and speak politely. Those who don’t want to listen and others who want to laugh because they don’t have any point to show, and others who pretend  behind masks of knowledge and wisdom. Just choose who respect thoughts.

Be who you are! Don’t be a picture, be yourself. do not copy anybody, make your independent mind then go and share others.

Time will never ever stop, and it will not wait you, be faster and do not waste any single minute.

Life is always beautiful, live each day to the fullest.. be happy and clean your heart, make it like morning sun, warm and white!

Believe me, nothing deserves a second of sadness.. let’s enjoy our moments and love our days.

Here is a song “Beautiful Life” by “Fisher” .. Enjoy it!

1. I must own my company and my business, new ideas and products on Computer Networking, things that Cisco do not offer at all.

2. Buy a very big Villa, Nissan Murano, Nissan Altema and Aston Martin.

3. I must visit Paris, London, Ottawa, Toronto, San Fransisco and New York.

I always wanted to visit Paris, to see Eiffel tower and Louvre Museum.

4.  Meet my second half and who will be my wife. She must be so beautiful (like me LOL). By the way, I love the girl with Blue eyes! believe me, blue eyes are magical.

5. I will purchase the most expensive and the latest Canon camera with a 5  Tira Bytes memory (or higher if available)  to capture everything (What i will capture is 100% related to point no.2).

6. To get PhD in “Computer Networking Protocols Design and Development” then learn students for free (Free, because i have a company so i don’t need more money).

7. Build a website from scratch using HTML, CSS, PHP, jQurey and Ajax.

Do you think that it’s easy to write such post? believe it or not, you will spend more than 1 hour thinking of what you can write. but you may noticed while reading this list that 20% of them are absolutely possible dreams.I believe in desting and I also believe in what god has written for me but I think my goals are not hard or at least they are not much.

There are more than 100 things I would love to do or reach before I die but who knows when or where will I die? Only God and no one else. I’ll update this post if I found more things.

I tried the new Google DSN on my Microsoft Windows 7 but I didn’t feel anything at all. but now i just assigned it on my Mac, but also I didn’t feel anything new except the loading of images in general is becoming so quick.

I don’t know if you felt differently when you assigned Google DNS on your computer or not but I bet, there is something good happening around! I would love to hear your experience.

Useful posts..

- (Great Post) Google DNS, Friend or Foe? by @Qwaider
I just love this :

- How to: Google Public DNS on a Mac and AirPort.

Additionally, the awesome new vanity DNS addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are super sexy. I highly recommend them on the choice.

I am really sorry for this error!
