One Day Of My Own Life

Aslalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh Today, I had my first "physical" interview.. I went to 7aday2 al Ma3ady to have my interview at Shoura's company.. My meeting was supposed to be at 9:00pm, actually I didn't go there before so I went something early -actually I realized that it was so early- I went there about 7:37pm ::.. anyway.. I spent some time figuring out where is their building, then i went to pray... after some time -before the prayer starts- Mustafa (my friend) & Sherif (the CEO) entered the mosque to pray... I welcomed them ;)... The 3 of us then went upstairs, Mustafa went to a different room cuz it was my time to have the interview.. Sherif started by explaining how much he "doesn't" know game development :S... then gave me a trivial question in a non trivial way.. Given an object with mass m and under the gravity g, we have a ground at a certain height, the question is "when will this object reach the ground?" I repli...

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh Last post about the ACM Warmups contained some details about what happened in the contest day... What about lessons we got ? mmm, First, I should say that no one -till now- reads this blog -it's my own will BTW- so I don't think anybody will get any benefit from the lessons I'll post.. so let the post be mmm a personal evaluation other than lessons for public.. Second, Abdul Rahman, our new-bie partener, has some good points and some bad ones.. Good Point: - He thinks well.. Bad Point(s): - He has difficulties in English.. - He gets tired easily.. - Don't concenterate a lot.. Having 3 bad points and 1 good point doesn't mean he is bad.. I believe he will have a good future ISA... Even if we didn't do something this year together, ISA he can do something with his new team next year... Third, The contest problemset, I think it was kinda easy, except the Dynamic problem, it was easy too but just mm u know, broke the ice.....

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh Hope u r all fine.. (no all currently ;) ).. Yesterday, for the first time, we had a contest which 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th-year students participated into.. usually, we make a contest for first year (juniors-as we call them- they should be named "freshmen") and another for the rest.. The contest was 8 problems, 7 of them were trivials.. 1 was Dynamic, this mm strange problemset was put by Abdalla for 2 reasons -as far as I know- 1- He wanted first year to SOLVE... so we can encourage them more and more to enter ACM.. 2- He wanted to train us on what happens on Regionals.. where they bring most of the problems trivial but tricky.. The contest environment was really exciting, a team from 2nd year stuck to the top for about 3 hours -don't remember their name :D- then Amigos went to the top for another period.. then we went to the top for another period, by then all the top teams solved 4 problems, 2 teams from 2nd year, 2 teams from 3rd...
