ITWorx Disqualification

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barkatoh

Previous post ...... ITWorx Qualification

Three days ago, I've been informed about the results of ITWorx choices.. they chose 1 from each team.. so they chose Ramy, Moussa and Mustafa Mohie.

I can't say I didn't care about them... I got sad.. really sad, not for losing ITWorx but for the fact that they "refused" me... this hurted me so much.. I tried not to make people c that in my face or words, cuz it would hurt me to death if I found someone saying "ma3lesh, bas enta kowyes wallahi msh 3aref homma leeh keda" and such things..

That day (3 days ago) I couldn't think well...
The next day to it, I started thinking about the reasons.. why didn't they choose me.. why was I out of choice.. r they my qualifications ? am I not smart enough ? they didn't interview me.. they judged through the C.V.s and most of us have nearly the same qualifications... read the same books, shared the same projects.. so what is the difference..

Its mainly as everybody told me and I was convinced with, I don't write a good C.V. I don't show sell myself well..

I started checking google to find some tutorials or advices for writing C.Vs..
I found some... and checked Tifa's & Moussa's mm I couldn't get the real core difference between mine and their..

One of things I found online was "never write a cv that takes more than 2 sheets" while Moussa's is 5 pages : ...

The confusion I was in and the depression mm made me make 2 C.V.s one that looks like Moussa's and one that looks like Tifa's :D.. I laughed a lot after finishing them..

Yesterday.. I applied to some companies including Vodafone.. mm I began to lose hope that they will contact me :(

Allaho al mosta3an.. If some one read this post ( la kaddara allah ) bellahee 3alaykom pray for me :)

    Don't think that you are not good enough, or not smart enough just because a company didn't give you a call when you sent your cv,
    anyway the percentage of being accepted by a company in a public job announcement is less than 30%. Personally I had about 30 interviews in a period of 4 months and in some days I had 2 interviews, it is life and that's how it's done

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele...

What do you do? and how do you do it?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh I've remembered these two questions a couple of minutes ago, they were mentioned in a movie called "The Pursuit of Happyness" and as you see Happyness is written intentionally with 'y' but that's another story! The scene was that the hero who was a depressed poor guy was walking in the street then found a guy parking his very nice & expensive car, he stopped him and asked him "may I as you two questions..." "What do you do? and how do you do it?" Away from the scene and how things went on in the movie, the question that came to me was why don't I ask myself the same questions.. it's not that I'm successful or something but my point is to try to analyze what "were" my goals during my past life... and what did I do to reach the state I am in now -fail/success/progress...- I believe what brought this to my mind is watching -again- Steve Jobs's motivational speech when h...

Question Google Chrome Process Isolation Model..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Google once published this comics book about Google chrome (their Open Source Web Browser) I've linked to one page that I'm concerning about for now... Page 4, Google Chrome Comics Book It explains that Chrome will have separate process per tab, away from the benefits/concerns about this... I was accidently checking chrome's task manager (Shift + Esc) and found something that -apparently- violates this rule... As you see, tab1 process has actually spanned 3 tabs... which is a similar behavior to what IE8 does... I'm not quite sure why this happens in Chrome... but it's just a question to ask... Thanks, Haytham
