The service let you backup your mobile by first installing a software from the company (a .sis file some program) and then it uploads all kinds of data from the mobile like the SMS, MMS, Contacts, Calendar, and folders to be stored online, where you can manage them.

I heard the service will be like a subscription, there is a 3 months plan, 6 months, and a year subscription. The one year subscription costs 350 S.P (~$8). Without GPRS costs probably.

This service is especially useful when you lose your mobile or when it gets stolen, so then you can restore your mobile data.

I see this as a really cool feature and great advance in services provided by the SyriaTel.

There is a service which I’ve been using for a while to back up my mobile and it is Mobile Network independent, which is ZYB. The only thing I miss with ZYB is that it doesn’t backup MMS, SMS, nor special folders.

Sharepoint does have a Scale Survey, but if you glimps at it you can’t tell who got the best score, which is something they wanted for the “Employee of the month”.

So in the same way I did to read the items of the Choice Survey, I did it again with some modifications. So instead of looking for the “Choice” type, I used “GridChoice”. Also, the value of the response is different. In a GridChoice value you woud see something like:

Co-operation#4#Skills#3#Outgoing#4#Ideas#3#Attendance#2#


This means the employee got a vote of 4 out of 5 for Co-operation,3 for Skills,4 for Outgoing,3 for Ideas and 2 for Attendance.

So now all I had to do is find a way to extract the numbers out of the string and sum up the numbers for each employe. To do that I did the following C# function:


  private int ResponceScore(string expr)
  {
  String[] numbers = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(expr, @”[^\d+]“);
  int total = 0;
  foreach (String number in numbers)
  {
  if (number != “”)
  {
  int num = int.Parse(number);
  total += num;
  }
  }
  return total;
  }


What the funtion does is it recieves the response’s text, use a regular expression to select or extract the numbers in the string, sum up the numbers of the response and send it back to be saved in an array or in a variable (Like adding to a variable for each employee).

So the final code is something like:

foreach (SPListItem item in SurveyList.Items)
  {
  foreach (SPField field in item.Fields)
  {
  if (field.TypeAsString == “GridChoice”)
  {
  if (field.Title.ToString() == “Employee Name”)
  {
  empScore+= ResponceScore(item[field.Title].ToString());
  }
}
}

So that is how I managed to do a web part to show the top scores in a Scale Survey in Sharepoint.

Have fun

I got this request where they wanted a Survey. Sharepoint does have survey, but it lacks statistics on the survey. In their Survey, the Choices for all the questions are identical. For example voting on “Employee of the Month”. After responding to this survey, they wanted to show the top employee in each Choice. The style of the answers are Choice type, where the user choose one of the option under the name of the employee. For example:
- Emplyee name 1
Choice 1: Co-Operation
Choice 2: Great Example

- Emplyee name 2
Choice 1: Co-Operation
Choice 2: Great Example
.
.
.

So the best solution is to make your Web Part read from that Survey’s items.

And to do that, we just need to loop through the Items of the Survey List, look for the “Choice” type of field in it and read its content (The choosen Choice. Choice 1 or Choice 2 … etc). The title of the field is the question text(Employee name).

So we need two loops one to look for the items, and one to look for items’ fields with the type “Choice” - then its title and content.

This is the code to do the loops and readings:

using (SPSite mySite = SPContext.Current.Web.Site)
{
using (SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb())
{
SPList SurveyList = myWeb.Lists["Employee of the month"];
foreach (SPListItem item in SurveyList.Items)
{
foreach (SPField field in item.Fields)
{
if (field.TypeAsString == “Choice”)
{
if (item[field.Title].ToString() == “Co-operation”)
{
coop += field.Title.ToString() + “,”;
}
else if (item[field.Title].ToString() == “Great Example”)
{
example += field.Title.ToString() + “,”;
}
}
}
}
}
}


Here I used normal string variables to store the names of the employees for each Choice, maybe you would like to use some sort of array instead, but I didn’t since I dont have many questions.

So when the code run, I will have something like the following in my variables:
Co-Operation variable: “Hasan B, Ahmad D, Farah H, Aya K, Hasan B, Amal K, Ahmad D”
Great Example variable: “Tahseen K, Sebhi J, Jafar A, Tahseen K”

Now by counting how many times each name is repeated for each choice, I can get an idea of who got the most votes for each choice.

I used the following C# function to count how many times each phrase or word accured in a string variable:

private string CountWords(string input)
{
char[] delims = new char[] { ‘.’, ‘,’, ‘;’ };
string[] wordlist = input.Split(delims, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
SortedList words = new SortedList();
foreach (string item in wordlist)
{
if (!words.ContainsKey(item))
words.Add(item, 1);
else
words[item]++;
}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (KeyValuePair kvp in words)
sb.Append(kvp.Key + “: ” + kvp.Value + ”
“);
return sb.ToString();
}


So now from my Web Part I can write:

writer.Write("Co-Operation” + ”
” + CountWords(coop) + ”
” +
“Great Example” + ”
” + CountWords(example))


And the function CountWords will return me the number of times a name accured in that passed string variable which represents the Choice.

For my example the output would look like:

Co-Operation
Hasan B: 2
Ahmad D: 2
Aya K: 1
Amal K: 1
Farah H:1
Great Example
Tahseen K: 2
Jafar A: 1
Sebhi J: 1


This code needs some additions to make it more useful, but I searched on the net, and I didn’t find answer for this, so I thought I would share with you what I got so far. I’m probably going to work more on this.

Hope it helped.

I did a lot of research about this, and it seems to be the problem is in Vista drivers and how it handles DVI. If the LCD have VGA it would be much easier since the VGA is Plug and Play.

Microsoft promised to fix this bug with SP1. Now SP1 is out and seems it didn’t really fix the problem! At least it didn’t for me when I was trying to connect the computer with a 52″ Sharp LCD through DVI.

I tried updating the Graphics’s card driver, didn’t help. Tried to use a program called PowerStrip to define custom resolutions to be compatible with the LCD, also didn’t help.

At the end, I replaced the DVI cable with “DVI -> HDMI” cable, and finally it did work!

I didn’t remove the PowerStrip software, because I think I need to use it to define a custom resolution for the big LCD.

Look at this flayer for more info:

The event was organized by Basma organization and the marketing campaign by U.G.

This walking was arranged to raise the attention and understanding about Kids Cancer, and at the same time try to entertain the Kids.

There were some activities for the Kids like Painting, Painting on the faces, Clowns, lunching balloons, gifts, and some other stuff like small dances

A few facts I learned about Kids Cancer and some people should know about:

• Kids Cancer can effect kids from the ages 1 month to 18 years old.

• It is curable, but costs so much and needs specialized doctors. Unfortunately in Syria there isn’t enough support. There is one Center in Damascus which is lacking financial support and expertise. The available doctors aren’t much specialized in this.

• Cancer is NOT contagious! I heard stories saying that some parents lock their infected kids from the world!

Basma is an organization which try to help in this. Visit their site to get to know more about this and learn how you can help.

UPDATE: Here is a small Video capture I took from the event when the kids released the Balloons.

Kids Cancer Support Walking - The best video clips are right here

It looks like the company is becoming a major telecommunication player in the area serving customers in 22 country in the Middle East and Africa with a net income around $820 million dollars a year!

The rumors can be true since we saw that the company did recently buy a mobile network company called Fastlink in Jordan, and the MTC company which is originally in Kuwait but also has branches in Iraq, Yaman, Sudan, Bahrain, Lebanon, and other branches in ~14 country. So it seems to be a natural move if they did really buy the SyriaTel network.

From what I heard they offer great modern services. There is this cool feature which let you make International call with the fees of a local call! Of course only if both parties have a Zain phone number.

Personally I hope this rumor is true.

Yes I’ve been away for some time, and now I’m back with my new Virtual Home so make your self at home and take a look around. You’re welcome.

See you

So what’s up?

Ya summer came swimming, tanning and stuff is really fun … but man I feel down when I see a lot of poor girls wearing cut down clothes, poor them they doesn’t have enough money to buy new not cut up clothes ….. =D hehehe!

And I don’t know if it’s just me, but this summer I’m seeing lot and lot of Engagements going on! Is this is like some kind of wave coming or what :P?

And oh ya! Finally I dumbed my old Nokia 6600 mobile and got Nokia E70, and it is very nice! Maybe I will write my impression about some time later some my fellas who are looking about users review about this mobile would find something.

Rula tagged me:)!

The tag is list 10 simple pleasures of mine, so I will list anything cross my mind quickly.

1. The smell of Jasmine while I’m walking to work in the morning.
2. A nice meal (Shawrma make my day any time :P).
3. Gadgets!
4. Make a smile on somebody’s face.
5. Have Nescafe in the morning with a peace of biscuit.
6. Go out with friends.
7. Take a nice photo of anything.
8. Health and Life.
9. Watching some nice movie.
10. News/Conversation from/with the special some one!

That was a quick list.

Now time to tag some people!
I tag GrayFox, Omar, and NK2(3ala rasi el shaghoor walla:D).

You have to list 10 simple pleasures and the rules are as follows:
a. You have to use the picture in my post.
b. You have to list exactly 10 points.
c. You have to tag 3 bloggers when you are done.

If you think of it, without having the later one, the first one wouldn’t have that delicious taste.
Plus after those bad bumps you will be stronger and more adopted for the future.
So maybe bad bumps are not so bad after all?

I had one of these bad ass bumps lately and that’s what made me forget about the blog.
Thanks for your concerns!

See you guys

These Gadgets are like small software, not electronic kind of Gadget

Araby is a new cool search engine which I think is promising for Arabic content searching. I heard about the people who are working on it, and they seem to be good.

This Gadget can be installed in Windows Vista or in your Live.com account(I didn’t try it on web!).

If you would like to develop your own Microsoft Gadget, take a look here. It is not that hard!

You can find my Araby Search Gadget on Microsoft’s web site here.

I know not many of you is using Windows Vista (Including me!, tried it.), but I thought maybe some body might find this helpful.

Have fun

Of course she called more cousins and her friends, got a bunch of people and got our self to the train station at around 3 pm on Friday! Ya I know it is late, but I didn’t care, I thought the fun will be in the train mostly, not in Homs

As we arrived I quickly noticed how they made the Train station to have this old look, which is kinda cool.

Then I saw the Train behind the building and it looked good! Shiny and clean.
The Platform looks cool, you know with the clock that you normally see on the Platforms.

Next went to take the tickets. The first class ticket in the fast train costs 165 SP (~$3) which is pretty cheap I think.

Took the tickets and headed to the Train.

I was surprised as I got inside! It looks better than an airplane! The seats are huge, big space between the seats, a small LCD which shows DVDs, and it just looked so good and new! It was like another world, not Syria! We took a while until we settled down, after a little while two girls comes asking what would you like to drink coffee or tea and a newspaper plus sealed brand new head phones to plug them in your seat and listen to the movie (They had Terminator 2 on!). They even have a big room for kids to play!

We were prepared to go crazy, had the drum with us (Derbakeh!) and all expecting the train to be, well, less classy! We were expecting something like those old long big buses! So we were embarrassed a little at the beginning, but then we kicked off and other people on the train enjoyed it, because the guy in charge there came with his suite and tie and stuff, telling us please we will have troubles if some body complains,oh man:P, but then we asked the other people and they didn’t mind :)!

The train went smooth and was very comfortable, we arrived to Homs in about 2 hours and a half. But after we arrived around 6 pm and the Train continued to Aleppo. As we got off the train we discovered that we landed in some sort of Industrial train station! Where they get Goods loaded and unloaded! .. We asked for the return train and they said the next one is at 2 am or 3 am! But we wanted to get back on the same day :S! So the guy said there is one will come in 30 min!! … So we had 30 min there, my cousin and her friends were loaded with tons of sandwiches and every kind of chocolate and chips :D! Eat eat eat, go crazy a bit … then the train came! Heh .. we spent only 30 min on the ground in Homs:P..but what the hell it was good time anyway …. the return train was kinda the opposite of the one we took to Homs! … I felt it is like the old ones you see in Russia!Did you get the picture?…Eh, but it was fine. It was a really fun small trip.

Oh man I went on and on a lot! Excuse me! The point is, it is good to see a good train like that here in Syria, and it really made me wish if they just put more of these for into town and get rid of the over flowing number of Micro Buses! I’m really bored of this polluted atmosphere.

Go and try it

Winter is struggling to stay, Spring is here, beautiful Spring sun light - Welcome :)!

While I was searching the net I saw that they have really started researching on such a thing! And I was happy to see that some body is working on this:) I wish if could help!

The first research started by IBM back in the 1993 with some theories.
In 1998 in Caltech Institute California with group of European scientist they took IBM theories to reality when they were able to Teleport a single photon, a photon is an energy which carries light. The scientist were able to read the information of the Photon and then send it through a 1 meter coaxial cable and then create a replica of the photon! And the theory expected, the original Photon disappeared. I found a copy of the initial theories here.

In Australia 2002 scientist were able to Teleport laser. The laser appear in a place, then disappear, to appear back again some where else. What happened is they read millions of laser Photon’s information, and then send the information across the room to the receiving machine for the laser to be recreated again. A news about this event here.
The latest Teleportation experiment happened in Denmark Oct 2006 Dr. Eugene Polzik and his team were able to Teleport information saved in laser through a cloud of atoms. The Doctor commented that this is a new step in this field for the future, because this time it involves interfering of light and matter, two different objects. The first one is the information carrier and the second is the store medium. In other words, it is the first time they were able to Teleport an atom! News about this.

So what about Human Teleportation?
Maybe it is going to be a lot of years until we see something like this, and maybe they will get to the point where they find out it is physically impossible to Teleport a Human which requires moving at speed of light.

To be able to Teleport a Human they have to make a machine which is able to locate and analyze the 10²⁸ which make up the Human body! That is about trillion trillion atoms. Then the machine sends this information to another one to rebuild the atoms with the exact precision. The Molecules can not be 1 millimeter shifted otherwise the Human will be back with a Physical or Nervous disability.

The research and talk about this topic is longer than this and related to many other things like biodigital cloning (Like Cloning, but digital!), but enough me talking about this The Important thing is that we now know that they are working on it! Isn’t that just damn interesting?!

من أكثر المواضيع يلي مهتم فيها هو الانتقال الفوري متل يلي بافلام الخيال العلمي.
تخيل أنو ممكن تكون بشغلك أو ببيتك وعندك شي نص ساعة استراحة, بتقرر أنو جاية على بالك تروح لشي مكان, أول ثانية بتكون بمكان وبالثانية التانية تصير بأيطاليا! بتعد شي شوي بتقضي وقت وبترد بترجع محل ما كنت! شوفي أحلى من هيك؟
حابب تعمل تزلج(شو جاية على بالي أتزلج P:)؟ مو مشكلة ثواني وبتصير بالقطب المتمجد, وثواني لترجع لمحلك!
حابب تاكل سندويشة جبنة على كيفك(لأنو جوعان هلق!)؟ فوت بآلة النقل السريع وثواني بتصير بفرنسا وبتاكل اطيب جبنة, وبطريق الرجعة منمر على سويسرة مشان التحلاية :)!
مو بس أنو هالاختراع حلو مشان تنتقل وضيّع وقت, تخيل الفوائد تبعه … اذا حدى اجته جلطة (صايرة موضة لأنها :), بعيد الشر عنكن) ممكن بثانية يصير بالمستشفى!
مافي حدود للخيارات!

يعني عم فكر, أديش صرلو العالم ما شاف هيك شي أختراع جديد عن جد؟ زماااان كتير برأيي. يعني أختراع جديد متل وقت الأنسان كان يفكر أنو مستحيل يطير مثلاً! ما صار وقت يعملوا هالاختراع ويريحونا من ركب الباصات والتكاسي والعجقة وتضييع الوقت وتقريب المسافات؟؟

ولقيت أنو في أبحاث كبيرة بهذا الشي! وأنبسطت لأنو في عالم عم يشتغلو على هذا الشي يا ريت عندي القدرة أنو ساعد!

الانتقال الفوري يلي هو بالانلكيزي Teleportation.
أول بحث بللش مع مختبرات IBM من سنة 1993, مجرد نظريات. بعدين سنة 1998 علماء من جامعة كاليفورنيا (Caltech) مع فريقين علماء من أوروبا, حوّلوا نظريات IBM لحقيقة بتجربتهم الناجحة لنقل فوتون بشكل فوري, الفوتون هو جسم عبارة عن طاقة بتنقل الضوء. الفريق قدر يقرأ البنية الذرية للفوتون وبعدين ارسال هي المعلومات عبر كبل لمسافة حوالي المتر وعمل نسخة من هذا الفوتون! وبعدين متل ما كانوا متوقعين, الفوتون الأصلي ما بيعود موجود بعد ما النسخة بتنعمل. وجدت نسخة عن الابحاث هنا.
بعام 2002 فريق باستراليا تمكنوا من نقل ضوء ليزر من مكان لتاني! ضوء الليزر بيكون بمكان, بيختفي,بينتقل ليصير بمكان تاني. يلي بيصير أنو بيقرأ ملايين الفوتونات وبينسخوها للمكان التاني يلي كان بعيد حوالي المتر وشوي. خبر عن الموضوع.
وآخر تجربة نقل فورية صارت بعام 2006 بالدنمارك Dr. Eugene Polzik وفريقه قدروا ينقلوا معلومات محفوظة بالليزر في غيمة من الذرات. والدكتور بيعلق عالموضوع أنو هي أول خطوة للمستقبل من نوعها, لأنه هالمرة النقل الفوري بيتعلق بتداخل الضوء مع المادة(matter), جسمين مختلفين. الأول هو ناقل المعلومات والثاني هو مكان التخزين. يعني هي أول مرة بيقدر ينقلوا بشكل فوري مادّة! خبر عن الموضوع.

طيب شو مشان النقل الفوري للأنسان؟
يمكن لسعتنا مطولين كتير لحتى نشوف هيك شي, سنوات كتيرة. يمكن حتى يوصلوا لمرحلة يلاقوا انو من المستحيل من الناحية الفيزيائية ينقلوا انسان من مكان لتاني بشكل مباشر يلي بيتطلب الانتقال بسرعة الضوء.

لحتى يقدروا ينقلوا شخص بشكل مباشر, لآزم يبنوا آلة بتقدر تحدد وتحلل ذرات جسم الانسان الـ 10²⁸! يعني أكتر من ترليون ترليون(هي مو خطأ مطبعي) ذرة. بعدين الآلة بترسل المعلومات لمكان تاني وبيتم بناء الجسم مرة تانية بنفس الدقة. الجزيئات مو ممكن تكون ولا حتى مليميتر واحد منزاحة وإلا بيرجع الجسم فيه اعاقة عصبية او فيزيائية.

البحث بهالموضوع أطول من هيك واله علاقات بأشياء تانية متل biodigital cloning(متل نسخ جيني بس على ديجيتال!) , بس حاجة أحكيلكن عن الموضوع لهون:) المهم عرفنا أنو في حدا عم يشتغل بهالموضوع وعم يقربوا!مو شي موشوّق؟

I’m not scared of the sound, but I was surprised! So I thought, I like Thunder sound, go back to sleep!
Going back to sleep, the Thunder kept breaking the silince with huge booming sound which I watched it with my ears and loved it! I love it how it boom and shake me! The stronger it is the more I admired it!

But before I go back to sleep I thought and felt so thankful to Alla that it is not the same sound that our neighbors in Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine wake up on! Bombs! I am sure it is a horrible experience they won’t forget and it will effect them for the rest of their life

Digging around Masjed Al Aqsa started, so eventually it will collapse by it self some time and no body is doing anything! People in Palestine hang on! You are protesting and fighting there on the behalf of all of us! And for God sake stop fighting each other!

The same for you Lebanon and Iraq God damn it! Stop fighting each other!

I hope to see the day where I see Peace in the whole area!

Ok I finished!
Peace.

The down time was due to me trying to make the Blog accessed by my custom domain name. Which didn’t work well!

So I’m back to the old address. I might try again with this later!

See you later guys

Thanks Gray Fox my friend in kokoness ! He tagged me.

Well let’s see what I’m going to write …
I think I’ll pick some random topics and talk about how feel about them.

1- SHAWARMA . Oh man if I can, I would eat this all the time! In the morning,noon,after noon, before&after sleep, in the breaks, dates, and while sleeping … but we gotta keep our self in shape ha ? I really like food! It is such a delight.

2- Music. All kinds, but depends on the mood. Totally hate the new style of the Arabic songs, because it is becoming an art of seduction! It’s not music any more! But I have to say and admit that some are nice. I tend to like the hyper Genere kind of music more. Like Hard Rock,Trance, and Techno (Creed

), but at the same time I like Classical music so much too(I go to the Opera house!).When I want to listen some nice relaxing music I like to listen to Live Ireland radio(Listining to it right now!I LOVE THIS RADIO AND TYPE OF MUSIC! THE BAG PIPE!). But because I like these hyper Music - don’t think I’m like crazy and all … mostly I’m the calm and wise kind of guy . A bit of craziness is cool I think! Don’t you think?3- I enjoy being with my family. With my Parents, Sisters, nephews and nieces (Not so much younger than me, the oldest is a year younger than me! They are my friends beside my other friends of course).

4- Things that fascinates me. The ever expanding Universe (Where is it going?). Life! Death! How Humans kills each other! … and Girls ! Ok I used the last one to just get you out of all the death and kills stuff …

5- Love is beautiful !

Wheefff ! Finally finished!

Now time to tag! I tag Sara , Baher, Nadjib, Omar, and Ghalia.

And Gray Fox, don’t do evil things on me again! Otherwise I will use my Dark Tagging power on you, and you don’t want to see it trust me! … Heh!

This was fun!

Salam guys.

I’ve heard the the 256Kbps plan will cost 1000 SP (~$19) which is some how reasonable, well at least better than before. But I hope the service will be good with no restrictions what so ever.

So you get your wallet ready, and keep on checking your Local Telephone center for news.

Good luck for all

This is a part of how Christmas looks in Damascus, Syria.

I walked in “Bab Tuma” area where you can find lot of Christmas decorations there.
It was nice walking in the market there, the weather was nice ~5 C, well maybe not that nice, but I like cold weather =)

I also made a video walking in that area and walking in the old Allies of Old Damascus which I will post it to my Blog.

Maybe it isn’t a great photo, but I think it is enough to give the feel of that place!

Big Santa Clause

It works on many mobile types, check this place here for officially supported devices: HERE

This Mini browser has many features I liked, but there is one which is really impressive which is server side compression! Which means the content which you want to view are very much compress thus less traffic and less payment for the Internet service on the mobile.

Also the new Opera Mini has a cool feature which makes it very easy to make a photo, and I already started using it! Look HERE.

And if you are one these people who love RSS feeds, there is RSS reader included in this great browser.

Still all of that not enough for you? Get this, IT IS FREE!

Get Opera Mini and start having fun

Yes you might see me mostly nagging about the internet connection here in Damascus, Syria, but what can I do? I’m a heavy Internet user, and Technology happens to be my job.

Today I was reading some fresh news, Technology news, and I was shocked when I saw that an ISP in South Korea is serving 100Mbps internet connection, maybe that is not new, but the thing is the price tag, which is only ~24$!
And I found out while reading this news that in Japan the home users get Fiber Optic connection! That is counted in Gigas speed!

I hear this news while in here we are dreaming about some stable ADSL connection with decent price and less filtering. It is frustrating.

So many new ISPs coming out and I lost the interest in tracking their names since I know that they all belong to the same provider (Syrian STE), I’m talking about ISPs like Aya, Sawa, and others.

Let’s talk about some rumors.

They say the prices will drop again, so a 1 Mbps connection will cost about 1000 SP(~$18) which I think is reasonable price. And abviously lot of people will be wanting this service because it is much cheaper than before, so here comes the other rumor which says about 150000 subscription will be available.

Well, I hope this will be true, but I’m afraid that the network won’t handle the traffic since I see signs of bottlenecks already.

I fired up the blogger and not knowing what I’m posting about, but I just felt I want to.

I was thinking about Visa, the thing that allows you to go some where, no not the one that buys you stuff! And maybe now I’m flying in my thoughts deeply and getting touchy, but you know, it is really annoying thing! I mean the Visa! If you think of it - what they hell?! You are not allowed to visit your beloved ones who happens to be in another country if you don’t have that stupid piece of paper!The Visa! I mean look what is happening … I don’t know if I’m being too dramatic, but it is really annoying how sometimes beloved ones can’t meet due to this stupid fact of Visa crap.
Ah, if you look at it, we are all humans! of one species! and yet, I feel that human is control freak! Why the hell they don’t just let you go there?! It is all earth which belongs to the one who created it “Alla”, it is not your land and you can’t let me not go there!
Maybe this is rather big subject, because some body would say “What about bad people passing?”, and then I say, if there were no borders and just one whole big country (Earth?) with one government …….. ah see it is long story …. maybe talk about it later … probably no body read this big ugly block of text
Salam

It was rather cold weather, all cloudy and rainy … so bear with me about the image quality

The first photo shows Damascus with Omawyeen circle on the right (Finally this circle is working :P), and the second photo shows Omayad Masjed (Isn’t it pretty?).

I don’t why I’m rarely posting, but it is mostly because of the “.blogspot.com” blocking! … and of course because of LIFE!
It was very nice watching Damascus at night from Qasyoon … and I just wanted to share it with you guys

A short movie showing old Damascus in Syria in 10 minutes. See old allies, streets, shops, Omayed Masjed and remember your old times you had in these places. Done by Kamar Nasri.

This is a wonderful short movie about old Damascus done by a young lady (My niece :):)!) that I wanted to share with you. She did this movie on her own for a school project.

I wish if all of this new generation would be more adapted with technology ….. I think they just need cheaper and faster Internet …
