Demo day.. CONTD.

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wabarkatoh

I just wanted to post this a note for myself and u as well...

I was supposed to make a demo about "DesignPatterns as You Never Thought In" in the last demo day but for some reason, I found "Programming languages Concepts" more interesting to me.. so I sat down and made a presentation.

Next day, I sent that presentation to my Project Leader; Dody, to take his opinion, he said he will check it when he is free, I didn't get a reply from him about it, I thought he must have been busy.. so just let's show him in the demo day..

so, the demo day came, and he asked me "Are you going to give the design patterns ? or the programming thing ?" I said "the programming languages", he said "ok then" and just went out...

Then mohammed started his session... dody is now out...
Mohammed finished, dody is still out...
I'm about to start, Tamer (a developer there) went to tell dody that Mohammed finished and I'll start as dody has asked him to do before.. but dody didn't show up...
I finished and still dody is out...
now, dody is supposed to give his presentation, but he is late and he never be late... people started speaking about his presentation that it is supposed to be about F#....

few mintes later, he showed up and started speaking about Why Web2.0 became that popular.. and what Web3.0 may have 7 years from now... the session was interesting really..

Anyway by now I was sure of what happened, when he knew that I'll give that session, he prefered not to give two sessions about Programming, so he made a different session (U c, he changed his session, cuz of a junior developer)..

I spoke to him next day to appologize....

Now, the note is, if this happened with any Egyptian Manager... what do u think he will do ?
I'll leave the question without an answer... just imagine,...

So when u become a manager one day, never try to act differently....

Good luck everybody..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

    The problem that any other egyptian company will not have such thing like Demo Day, when juniors, seniors, leaders and even non-technical people are presenting new stuff to practice soft skills such as presentation skills.

    I guess I heared ITWorx does that... I'm not sure and I don't have much details. Anyway, I'm just imagining, if this happened what will be the reaction....

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
