Notify Me is closing its services on 4th of October, It’s sad because I was depending on Notify.me in getting me the feeds updates I’m interested in, the Notify Me creator explained his reasons saying:

This is most regrettable news, I have failed to find a business model that can support the service adequately. I’ve mentioned before about a plan to create a subscription however even optimistic projections fall short of anything sustainable.

However He suggested some other alternatives for his service, one of which is very interesting which is ifttt -yes the name is weird, but its a great Service indeed- It’s really a sad news, and I hope for the Notify.Me creator initiate a new service that I’ll sure follow his great ideas

I’m preparing for my wedding ceremony so I won’t be available for the next period, but I hope I can be back to blogging soon.

I’m sorry for people who sent me mails but I didn’t reply, please forgive me but I don’t have any time to spare to answer.

See you soon.

“Yaaaaaaaaaah” I never felt this relief before, at last we will build a new Egypt,
at last we will live freely and feel our human rights and
at last Egypt is a Free Country.

The past 18 days were so hard, as I’m not currently in Egypt, I felt so bad not being part in all this, felt so bad that I’m safe here, while my family and my friends are at risk, I felt so bad that I can’t be part of a big change happens to people from inside and reflected on their outer behavior, I felt so bad to realize I’m more patriotic than I could ever imagine, and yet I couldn’t do something about it!

All people who know me knows that I hate political news and News channels, but after thinking about those days I realized that I didn’t change Al-Jazeera channel for those 18 days, waiting for any statement of the President like a child waiting for candy, disappointed when I realized that most of them are not candies, but a mere rotten Hrnkc-حرنكش- but I was jumping in joy as I heard the latest statement of Omar Soliman, GOD I FELT SO HAPPY!

I wish that I could be there, joining the forces of Revolution.

I wish that I could help my family, when thugs attacks were many.

I wish that I could share the happiness of the Egyptian street, in Cairo.

I wish that I could be there, cleaning Al-Tahrir with all the others.

But in the end I’m so proud of being an Egyptian, like never before, and I’m so proud of Egypt, the Free Country.

I’ll leave you with this video that My Brother made:

Here is a brief:
WebCenter Interaction Identity Service for Active Directory

I’ve recently installed and configured WebCenter Interaction to work with Active Directory in my recent project, and I can fully say with a heart full of confidence that WebCenter Interaction are the best customizable, editable portal I’ve ever seen!

The configuration, and customization level that can be done is pretty much amazing, all I had to do, is installing the component (has a separate installer) you can find more about the installation process in here.

Restarted my server, created an authentication source, and voala, I’ve the groups and users from the Active Directory, and I can map additional attributes in Active Directory through profile source, and accordingly I can dynamic assign users to groups based on rules on the attributes, so I don’t have to manually put each user in his respective group, and therefor the privileges for his community.

All done in simple easy steps, that could be done in an hour or two top, when you have all configurations.

No matter how hard you try to make your development environment as close as possible to your production, you get disappointed by a lot of errors in production mode!
Experience is what helps you in that issue, but even with experience the migration process from development to production still can be very painful.

But…I can proudly say, that you won’t face such a trouble with WebCenter Interaction!

Thanks to the WebCenter Interaction Migration mechanism, which export portal object in a .pte (PorTal Extension) to be imported easily with their dependencies and parents, the migration process couldn’t be easier, and it took me about ummm 30 minutes, to transfer more than 50 Community, 100 pages, layouts and custom portlets with it’s related dependencies (Includes copying and pasting files from both servers!).

So bad that WCI is no longer in strategic products of Oracle, it could be the best out there

If it’s Wednesday or Friday, then its Bleach and Naruto respectively…

humm, that’s a problem, I eat more than 2 times a week, so I started to download other stuff, stuff like TV Shows, well I watched so many TV Shows, Heroes, Prison Break, Malcolm in the Middle and House, and I finished them all -except for Malcolm, I couldn’t find a decent torrent-, and I always find it great to have a little laughters in my meals.

That’s why I love stand up comedy shows, its so amazing, Jim Carrey always crack me up, Robin Williams woohooo and lastly George Carlin

This guy is truly amazing, He may be old, but I had my hands on his old shows, and God it was hilarious, it has less swearing than the others, but lots and lots of fun.
His facial expressions always crack me up, and his quote always surprises me “There’s no present. There’s only the immediate future and the recent past.” Taking about the present in one of an amazing shows.

Well, let’s stop talking, here is a sample of his stuff!

So I brought me a LogiTech Wave Mouse and Keyboard wireless, God it’s amazing, the options and everything, makes me want to blog and write more

That is the kind of stuff I like, and as I’m writing this blog with this amazing keyboard, I wondered why I kept struggling this long time with the silly keyboard of my laptop.

But after all, my laptop is the portable, and this keyboard is a large one, but in a heavy duty work, this baby will go boosting my productivity to the max.

wondering about the cost, no…It’s expensive, but worth it.
Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Eid By e-emoo

Long time, no posts I know…

Life was taking me so away, so away that I didn’t wake up but today at the middle of the day realizing that I’m all alone, and all is what I have left of me!

But that’s not what I’m talking about now, now it’s time for Feast, and I wanted to tell you all Happy Feast and sorry if I’m late in response to you either by mails or by writing posts, but inshaAllah I’ll be more active in the future…

Enjoy your Feast, and Pray for New more Ramadan(s) to come inshaAllah

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

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
