Yes, I’m Freakin’ Lazy And I hate myself Right Now ..

It feels “Ugly” When you want to do something, but you cannot do it .. Sometimes, there would be a reason, other times You just cannot do it ..

But There are “Things” that you’re forced to do .. Others would consider it normal and not that ugly like I believe ..

Simply, We, Egyptian “Students” or “Professors” ARE The worst example for Education in the world . A few would survive from this discerption .

Yesterday was The First Tweetup in Mnasoura, The heart of Nile Delta . It was an old idea to have the first tweetup here, after the Tweetups in Cairo & Alexandria .

We had lots of discussions about everything, Guess It was the longest Tweetup ever in the World .. I just wanna thank all people who attended and for all the good Discussions . Can’t wait for another Tweetup in our beloved city .

If you need to follow the next Mansoura Tweetups, Check the Hashtag #MansouraTweetup or Follow The Facebook Page

It WORKS ! I couldn’t believe what I’ve seen while I tried this script . Now You can use CSS3 and you can make it working in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 .

Yes ! It actually Worked . IE-CSS3 is a script to provide support for CSS3 Styles to work on Internet Explorer All Versions from 6 to the latest version IE8 .

You Can Try a Demo I’ve worked on it .

All you have to do is writing your normal css3 code & adding another simple line of code for inserting the script like the following:

.box{
	-moz-border-radius: 10px; /* Firefox */
	-webkit-border-radius: 10px; /* Chrome & Safari */
	border-radius: 10px; /* Opera 10.50 & IE9 , Also Works for IE-CSS3 the Script */
	behavior: url(ie-css3.htc);
}

Download The Script & Get More Info About How to use it : CSS3 Support in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8

Thanks to Ahmed Abdul Mon’em for his quick note about the script in his Blog (Arabic) .

So This is my First Day at work .. I mean a full-time job .. The last time I had a full-time job was like 2 years old when I worked on Some Educational Project online for High School Students & I was really enjoying the time I spend .

But Today, I’m here with new people, new workstation, new tasks, everything would be totally new .. In the same time, I still have studies & I go to courses & trying to make them all after work so I won’t have to leave the work and back again .. It’s really hard to manage a full-time job & studies in the same time .. but people do this all over the world and I really wanna do this too ..

It’s not always what we think of while working is money, but It’s your future, and It’s could be the lifetime career, the experience you get from work and while working with new people everytime, another kind of clients, and you try to do your best at work to show what you can do. However, You cannot think about studies and put them off from your life track. Both should go side by side to achieve what you really want to be .

I’ve been working in the past few days on a simple WordPress Template to Move From Blogger to a self-hosted WordPress Blog . And I’ve decided to build it the new way & Not the old way .. So What’s the New Way ?

I really enjoyed Trying the New WordPress 3 that contains some lovely new features –You Can Find More About it in (Arabic) or (English) — . And I made up my mind to use it and create a new template built with HTML5 & CSS3 .

It’s a  good experience to try using the new elements of HTML5 and ignore how it will look like in IE6 ( Sorry IE6 Users But You have to Upgrade Your Browser ) . You may think It’s easy when you see the new elements but when you try using them It will be different & You may take sometime to get used to them .

You can Fine Many Resources Online about How to use HTML5 to create an Interface for your website or blog . HTML5 is already working Fine on Firefox, Chrome & Safari I think ? I can’t use Safari on my Inspiron & Don’t know why !

Another Issue I had to solve was moving the comments From IntenseDebate Which I used as the comments system on Blogger Blog & Wanted to switch to Disqus . It took me sometime to edit the xml exported file and then importing comments back on Disqus .

I believe there still some issues regarding changing the DNS but It takes too long to be working everywhere . I get some errors from services like Feedburner (Bad hostname) UGH!

In the past two years, Companies started to know how much Social Media is a great part of their success. All Popular Companies & Corporations started to get Facebook Pages and Twitter Accounts like Microsoft, Google, CNN . But what about Companies in Egypt ?

In 2009 Popular Brands started to move on the same way the world goes. Tens of thousands of Egyptians have Facebook Accounts and hundreds or maybe thousands started to use twitter . That was the time for companies to start looking to twitter . So Who are those popular brands on twitter From the land of Pharaohs ?

It’s not that easy to work and study in the same time. Many people have a serious problem with multi-tasking and I would be a one of them . On The short term it would be easier to manage work and study but we would reach to a point to either choose between studies or work .

Time is freaking fast and while you try to work and study, you find that some task would take the time of another one too even if you did all the best with Managing Time and made a to-do list and what will you do every day .

I wouldn’t say that All people are the same, There are some people that are very successful to manage time and multi-task Work and Studies but people are not the same and we shouldn’t expect that from all people around us or even ourselves . When we find that we cannot manage time that good, we shouldn’t be surprised .

Solutions

We cannot say that there will be no solution but It would be hard to find other simpler solutions for such a problem. One of the solutions is to try to manage time for less-time and not a full day. For Example you would try to manage what you are going to study in the next 3 hours and always have a break between each hour to have any activity . Entertainment is a must so you cannot pressure yourself .

Managing time is not an easy job to do but It needs more practice to be skilled in Time Management .
