			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I recently get to eat by myself, I always think, well as my hands are full doing eating -duh-, what should I watch on my PC, and as I&#8217;m a TV hater, so I watch everything on my pc</p>
<p>If it&#8217;s Wednesday or Friday, then its Bleach and Naruto respectively&#8230;</p>
<p>humm, that&#8217;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&#8217;t find a decent torrent-, and I always find it great to have a little laughters in my meals.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love stand up comedy shows, its so amazing, Jim Carrey always crack me up, Robin Williams woohooo and lastly <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Carlin">George Carlin</a><br />
<img src="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/081217/George-Carlin_l.jpg" alt="George Carlin" /><br />
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.<br />
His facial expressions always crack me up, and his quote always surprises me &#8220;There&#8217;s no present. There&#8217;s only the immediate future and the recent past.&#8221; Taking about the present in one of an amazing shows.</p>
<p>Well, let&#8217;s stop talking, here is a sample of his stuff!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://newmexicoindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/twitter-art.jpg" alt="twitterized" width="350" height="277" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Lately I&#8217;ve become attached to my <a href="http://twitter.com/agawish">twitter</a> account, as I hit my 100 follower!<br />
Even <a href="http://www.facebook.com/agawish">facebook</a> has become second in this list, as all my news has been transfered dynamically to my facebook through <a href="http://friendfeed.com/agawish">friendfeed</a> app.</p>
<p>I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>The reasons that twitter is better than RSS in my opinion are:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>twitter is more human!</strong>
<p>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!</p>
</li>
<li> <strong>a stream that you love</strong>
<p>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.<br />
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!</p>
</li>
<li><strong>it&#8217;s easier to follow, than adding new RSS feed to the list!</strong>
<p>Call me lazy, but with one click I get the streams I like from the person, and I don&#8217;t have to go to only the latest ten news, but I have access to all of his stories as well!</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>I can add some more reasons in the future, but right now I think you already realized the benefits.</p>
<p>And for those who don&#8217;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!</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">CAUTIOUS: NON TECHNICAL POST</span></p>
<p>I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>I believe I&#8217;m the first to implement it in an Arabic context style in KSA and maybe in the middle east <img src='http://blog.amr-gawish.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> , its not hard though!</p>
<p>Thanks God, I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>True I use math to measure what best fits me, its actually probabilities but I think you already realized that.</p>
<p>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?<br />
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.</p>
<p>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- .</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done my share of researching, asking people, praying ofcourse and all that, but still I really need to decide it up myself.</p>

<p>Its not because I don&#8217;t know, but I believe Its because I&#8217;m not focusing in those written ones!</p>
<p>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&#8217;s</p>

<p>I almost forgot the meaning of reading anything but tech news!</p>
<p>After reading Mohammed FatHy&#8217;s novel &#8220;شيء من الحب&#8221; and Haitham Dabbour&#8217;s &#8220;أول مكرر&#8221; I realized that I&#8217;m missing a lot but not knowing what&#8217;s happening in that area, which I used to adore.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying that i&#8217;m abandoning my passion of Technology and its news, but I&#8217;m gonna make some time for reading other stuff, and listening more to my other self needs!</p>
