Summer Check List

In: K

27 Jun 2010

Since my summer isn’t really a regular summer, being away from my family and my friends, so I have to do something different

Something different that doesn’t include going to the beach, nor hanging around with my folks and go to movies (KSA doesn’t have any Cinemas -Believe it-)

So here is my initial draft for my To Do Summer list (that is in my spare time as I’ll be working in summer)

1- Organize my mails, and Finish reading all of them (I have about 515 unread mails)

2- Finish SOA 11g and Oracle IDM books

3- Create Apps (Maybe one for android, If I got my HTC EVO4)

If you have some thoughts, or if you have a plan, u can share it here as I may steal some of ur ideas :D

This is a great news, now you can make an ADF application all within the excel with real life data and actions from ADF and ADF binding.

I can’t wait to test and see how this works

No wonder when you want to change your mobile you want to keep your SMS for history purposes, in my case I want to buy an Android Enabled mobile and sell my iPhone 2G, and I have old SMSs that I want to keep, so I searched a little and here is my solution scenarios.

First Scenario

Buy a 1$ app to do that for you!

Second Scenario

Follow the following steps

I’ve though about this long time ago, but I didn’t have the courage nor the content to start it.

Now that I do have the courage -content is on the way!- to announce the blog mdlwr you can go directly check it, or you can see its latest news via twitter

Back to blogging

30 Mar 2010

I’ve moved from my company towards Advanced Operations Technology to work as Oracle Middleware Consultant in KSA

Its an exciting opportunity with different set of responsibilities and experiences, I feel I’m gonna enjoy it inshaAllah.

I’ll be blogging about technical/non-technical issues that I deal with in the following time, and I’ll be back to blogging.

For whomever wants to hear about Arabic in Android, it’ll be on my free time, Hope I can add a thing or two inshaAllah.

See you in the comments

I’ve been twitterized!

twitterized

Lately I’ve become attached to my twitter account, as I hit my 100 follower!
Even facebook has become second in this list, as all my news has been transfered dynamically to my facebook through friendfeed app.

I’ve went into debate once about how much twitter is better than RSS feeds, as I used to be once attached to my RSS feeds through google reader myself.

The reasons that twitter is better than RSS in my opinion are:

  1. twitter is more human!

    Yes you heard it right, you can actually feel it, RSS feeds are more like mails, it have subject, body and a sender, so solid and so boring, but twitter is more humanized, it shows you a title, maybe a link, a personal opinion and you can actually communicate with your twitter friend, while you cant with your RSS feed item!

  2. a stream that you love

    In twitter I actually see all my news in a one stream, it makes it easy to know the latest news in the last days, without having to go to BBC RSS feed to know the latest news, and if I need any categorization I put them into a list of related interest or topic, and ofcourse if I need to know a news about certain somebody I can just click on his twitter account.
    I know many people will argue with me, as google reader have this feature as well, but believe me its different, even placing an icon -avatar- is more human readable than just a name of the RSS feed source!

  3. it’s easier to follow, than adding new RSS feed to the list!

    Call me lazy, but with one click I get the streams I like from the person, and I don’t have to go to only the latest ten news, but I have access to all of his stories as well!

I can add some more reasons in the future, but right now I think you already realized the benefits.

And for those who don’t have a twitter account, go for it now you are wasting so much time already finding the news you like to read, while it can get right into your stream a few clicks ahead!

CAUTIOUS: NON TECHNICAL POST

I’ve been back to Egypt, after a really successful implementation of phase I of Royal Protocols -المراسم الملكية- Intranet and Internet portals using Oracle Webcenter framework.

I believe I’m the first to implement it in an Arabic context style in KSA and maybe in the middle east :D , its not hard though!

Thanks God, I’ve been offered multiple job opportunities, that are all great but I have to consider one, and actually the calculation, variables and maths done to calculate what best suits me aint enough.

True I use math to measure what best fits me, its actually probabilities but I think you already realized that.

The thing about probabilities is that you can know what best suits you, when you add an important factor, how much this thing weights in your mind, how much this thing is important to you, or with other words How you prioritize this thing?
The more this thing -thing is a general term for many stuff- is high ranked in your priorities list, the more it weights, and to tell you the truth I cant weight everything out yet.

So many variables and situation that has been rushing into my life lately that I cant really focus on which one is top priority and which to be last -or at least down in basement- .

I’ve done my share of researching, asking people, praying ofcourse and all that, but still I really need to decide it up myself.

ed3oli Rabena yakhod byaddi!

For this tutorial I’ll be using the latest patch set or Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 and Oracle XE Database.

What I’ll be demonstrating how to create a simple JSF (.jspx) web page that has two combo boxes that depend on one another. In other words, two combo boxes (af:SelectOneChoice) depend on each other and are automatically refreshed when selected.

Here is an index of each section in my article:

  1. Create New Application
  2. Setup Database Connection
  3. Working with the Model
  4. Creating the View / JSF Page
  5. Creating the Navigation Form
  6. Adding The Combo Boxes
  7. Wiring the Combo Boxes

It’s sure nice to be back to writing in kBlog.

I’ve been away for really really really long time, but I’m sure missing it, and I wont be letting that slip away again.

Unfortunately I’m still busy in a new project in KSA Riyadh, Webcenter and ADF dealing with “المراسم الملكية”, It’ll be the first real project for me using webcenter, and I’m talking about webcenter 11g in here.

But I’ll try to be Here more, and I’ll do keep update of this blog alive.

I’m scheduling to post 2 articles in itnewb in the next couple of days, and I’ll share it in here as well.

Hope you are all glad for me to be back :D

Bad at written quiz’s

25 Jul 2009

It’s just weird, When I go to an interview or something and I know I’m good for the job however I suck big time doing their written quiz!

Its not because I don’t know, but I believe Its because I’m not focusing in those written ones!

I used to be like this with oral quiz as well, but I improved this skill to be only lacking one thing which is written quiz’s
