One Day Of My Own Life

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Yesterday, when I was praying al Juma'a prayer, I faced a situation that I only read about in emails -till then- people forward. I was not in the first line, when we started praying, a man in the line in front of me fell on his back... from what I saw, he seemed to fell unconcious, he couldn't resist or anything, he just fell on the ground, which interrupted 2 guys praying in the same line as myself. I didn't know what to do, I actually didn't move or even turn my head to look to him... the two guys beside me -whom he interrupted- took care of him... so I saw no need for my help besides I didn't really know what to do except raising his leg -hoping it's just a low-pressure short coma- but they already did that... he was not moving, I can't deny I was sneaking some looks to check him... The 2 guys did't want to lose their prayer too, the guy didn't move, they just went back to the prayer... First raqa'a

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Yesterday, I got a post showing stockholm in 3D... not using Google Earth, not using Virtual Earth.. it's a new technology that a startup developed, it's 98% automated... they claim it took them 3 days to build a 3D model for stockholm (after capturing the photos). Here is a random shot I picked... As they say, the process is simple, - They capture very hi-def areial photos, - Input them to their processing unit for their innovative algorithms to analyze and that's it, you get a nice fully textured 3D model... When asked about Google Earth & Virtual Earth, they said -GE using a very basic model to build 3D cities, they let the community manually build the cities.. -VE builds 3D Models for buildings only, we build anything that is higher than specific height, which means you will see 3D trees (not very nice though) -GE runs as a desktop application (seems they didn't hear about the activeX browser plugin) -VE runs as an act

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

Alsalam alikom wa r7amat Allah wa barakatoh This is my first day at Microsfot Canada Development Center (MCDC). I had a lot to tell but actually I don't have much time. I just wanted to post my first post from inside big M... Catch you later. Salam.
