Public Security Directorate are getting quality they are almost a private company or even better. Last Sunday I wanted to issue No Criminal Record Certificate and honestly I was prepared for the worst and was mentally prepared to wait all the day long at least and I even had some chocolate, chew gym and got my tablet to play some chess while waiting but I was mistaken. When I saw the number of people in the queue I was seriously thinking to go back home but since I needed it and since I was mentally prepared and equipped with my tablet I decided to be patient but surprisingly the queue were moving really fast, the officers there were so efficient and polite I can even compare them to many private companies and many well salaried employees, namely Orange, I usually spend 30 up to 45 minutes just to pay my bill, YES to pay, I mean to give them some good 50 JOD every month I have to wait 30-45 good minutes and I'm paying three JDs to PSD to get my certificate and it's like once i

I have been and still busy working on my top secret project that should change the world into a better place, No kidding; I don't have a top secret project and I've been busy doing nothing other than reading, socializing and working on two voluntary projects. I start reading around 9:00 AM and since the weather is getting warmer day by day, I sit by the balcony to read and enjoy birds signing and the natural light but it's about couple of hours before getting pissed off of those people who come to visit/beg/flirt the former minister and current parliament member. The guy seems to be nice and seems to be helpful and very respectful to his people but they don't seems to be respectful to our neighbourhood at all, they come early morning and stay for like six hours waiting for him although the guy have a schedule they knew he's not coming home today and they should go to his office instead but they just like to stay in the street, eating nuts and keeping an eye on ever

Ubuntu Jordan LoCo: FLOSS Introduction - The Jordanian Way

Amman, March 13th 2008 - Ubuntu Jordan LoCo Team . As part of Ubuntu Jordan LoCo Team continuous efforts to spread awareness about GNU/Linux in the Kingdom, the team organized a public event at The University of Jordan in Cooperation with IEEE Student Branch. Mr. Khamis SekSik gave a lecture Introducing FLOSS in the Jordanian way, as well as a brief background of FLOSS history. In addition, the lecture included Mr.Seksik explaining some reasons to use FLOSS Jordan, as well as comparing selling service VS selling software, and comparing backward compatibility issues between FLOSS and other software. Other issues discussed by Mr.Sisek were the ethical reasons to use FLOSS. The argument is that using proprietary software without paying for it equal theft and as such is unethical. In many ways, Mr.Siksek highlighted, choosing the right software is a very important decision because it affects time, effort, and money invested in this software. Following the lecture, a number of Ubuntu Jor
If you don't feel safe in Jordan I don't know where else in the world you would feel safe. Where else in the world you would leave your car alarm off with two windows opened leaving your laptop and a dSLR camera without worrying about them, where else in the world someone in down town would follow you on foot up the start thinking he's chasing you and then you find out he want to give you your bag that you forgot in his place or somewhere in the street. We can't say Jordan is a crime free country but crime is a very unusual thing to hear about in Jordan and maybe this is why we all talk about small little crimes when it happens. In 90s we had a serial killer called Abu Shakoush (Abu Hammer) , the guy used to carry his hammer and knock pharmacists at head, he was one memorable serial killer in Jordan and maybe the only serial killer that we ever heard of in the kingdom. After like committing three or four crimes he came to Jabal Amman, First Circle, just exactly 200 mete

The best web browser ever

I witnessed all browsers wars in my life, just like many of you; and they are just like nations, they rise and fall, Netscape once dominated the market even Internet Explorer did at some point; some great browsers with great capabilities such as Opera never got the exposure that they really deserve and some good browsers like FireFox got great deal of promotion, a proper marketing team behind it I'd say. I work as web developer and I'm so attached to Web Standards, Usability and Accessibility, I do believe in them and I do my best to stick to them whenever possible. I'm also a self-taught kind of people which means I read a lot and mostly online so I really value any piece of software or website that would make my reading experience just better. Recently I decided to quit FireFox because it eats memory as no other application would, even GNU Image Manipulation Program or Video editors doesn't eat as much as Firefox does, so I decided to quit it. I tried Opera, it was g

iPhone now with P2P torrent

Tuaw - iPhone Hacker core announced a preliminary version of a Transmission Peer-to-Peer client for iPhone. The code is ported from the Transmission site to run on the iPhone's ARM microprocessor. Tests on downloaded files produced the identical MD5 checksum as downloading via wget. The intention was to download audio and video but imagine if you could synchronise your Transmission downloads on your laptop with iPhone and resume on the go with your Wireless iPhone; God! that would be great!

I've never thought that I'll make a cent out of blogging but in the last two years I made around $4000 out of blogging using various adversing models. Couple of months ago I received a cheque from text-link-ads which is the best advertising agency I dealt with so far. I tried many advertising agencies like Google Adsense, Text Link Ads, Adbrites, some advertisers contacted me personally to place an ad on certain posts, I tried PayPerPost and ReviewMe and the best so far was Text Link Ads. A key factor to success in making money out of your blog is to place the Ad code/plugin and keep blogging without thinking about What should I blog about? basically just be yourself and keep your blog just as it is and actually it feels way better; whatever you're talking about be sure someone out there in the other side of the world interested in placing an Ad within your contents. The only drawback with Text Link Ads that they don't support Wire transfer to bank account and Jordania
