Blog
Posted on Friday 28 May 2010

After reading over 200 hundred resumes in the past three years and rejecting most of them before and after interview and test due to the fake information, It seems that most people believe that putting everything they even though of into  their resume really helps, but does it?

Drawing organization charts easily with OpenOffice Draw

Blog
Posted on Tuesday 25 May 2010

I don't know whether you've heard of OpenOffice or not. OpenOffice is perhaps the best alternative to Micro$soft Office currently available. It's a collection of applications that work together closely to provide the features expected from a modern office suite. Many of the parts are designed to be alternatives to those available in Microsoft Office.

But what's the different between these two popular office applications ?

Time to start taking online privacy seriously

Blog
Posted on Thursday 13 May 2010

Online privacy has always been one my concerns, and the reason is the fact that as a software developer i know what's happening behind the scene. I believe that it's up to us (Software developers) to let the people know that their privacy is getting violated every hour even when they're not a member of any social network!!!.

A blog post by Larry inspired me to write this post,

Earlier today, one of the people I follow tweeted that his young (under 5, I believe) daughter had just done something stupid. Nothing illegal or immoral, just the sort of embarrassing and sometimes destructive stupidity that young children tend to get into. And he then tweeted it.

Which means that his under age daughter's actions are now part of the permanent archive of the US government.

Using Actionscript 3 Tween for everything

Posted on Wednesday 28 April 2010

If you ever used actionscript 3 then you probabely know that tween class does not work with anything other than simple numeric object properties. This is an issue sometimes becuase you might want to tween a function! or a property of a child object or even an string! There are plenty of third-party classes out there for extending the Tween class, but if you don't need all other features they offer and prefer to keep your swf's size small i must tell that there is solution , a rather easy one actually.

What we're doing to do is using dynamic objects,

Migrating from Subversion to Bazaar (Including special guide for Sourceforge projects)

Blog
Posted on Saturday 27 March 2010

It's about the sixth years since my first commit using Subversion, Moving from CVS to Subversion was really amazing, Subversion was superior in many ways and it served me well. But the age of centralized version control systems is over, we need much more powerful VCSs to deal with huge projects. Now days we should to be able to work with anyone, on anything, anywhere , at anytime, and also keep track of all this activities.

As part of my research project (Comparing Popular Version Control Systems) i decided to start with Bazaar and migrate one of my Subversion Sourceforge projects to this new VCS in order to have a better understanding of how it actually works. And also test the migration utilities because if you can't migrate your code's history then that would be a huge problem.

Upgrading Drupal 5 to Drupal 6, Part 1

Blog
Drupal
Posted on Friday 19 February 2010

I think it's a perfect time and perhaps the last change to start planning for safely upgrading our good old Drupal 5 websites to Drupal 6 (If any remained), Drupal 5 will be deprecated as soon  Drupal 7 final comes out. Some module maintainers already removed Drupal 5 releases from their projects which is a trouble for website running Drupal 5.

Posted on Thursday 18 February 2010

It might sound strange at first but i must say that it's very useful specially if you have shell scripts as part of your application. Usually For making this scripts as automated as possible there should be a way to reuse the application's configurations (ips, passwords , etc) and not having to update a separate configuration file whenever anything changes in the application. It's not limited only to this and can be used to pass any kind of variables.

Mail Logger, Drupal's most have module for all websites

Blog
Drupal
Posted on Sunday 17 January 2010

Unfortunately there is no way to know that the email has been correctly delivered right after sending it. Therefore when someone send a message using Drupal's Contact form or any other modules, he may receive a "Successful message" but the site owner may never receive that message due to the wrong email address , network failure , mail server problem or blocking by spam protector.
This might cause some misunderstanding , loosing a great job opportunity or etc.
