Was visiting Doha and planned on getting in touch with Richard Messenger. For some unknown cosmo-reason, i found a message from him in my inbox!!

He was getting in touch and checking on me due to my long absence on flickr! "how did he know i was there!?", I asked myself!

I messaged him back and before you know it, we were photowalking in the industrial area in Doha.

We were having tons of fun. People there were very welcoming and engaging until some weirdo came out of no where and stopped us, claiming its illegal to shoot there because of the american military base nearby. Though we were pissed off, i thanked god later cause he gave us more time to talk. We discussed various topics from education, politics to photography.

It was soo natural, that chit-chat was all natural as if we were friends for decades. Richard is so young at hear that i didnt feel i was 26 and he's 56 :)

I was amazed by the openness he had. I gladly responded to his questions about muslims and how cultures are mixed with religion. Richard has a lot of experience in almost everything. He's a very good speaker. We even read common books and exchanged a lot of tips. Especially the internal/external STICK :)

I also got a chance to hold the 5D Mark II with my bare hands!!

Thanks Richard for this GREAT day. Hope you're enjoying your vacation and inshallah all shall be better when you come back...

BTW, check me out while shooting this photo..

Just finished downloading the beta and I am installing it to a 1.5GB Virtual PC...

------------Updates-------------------------------------------

Wow, well I never thought this screenshot would create such a stir. Seems that windows thing is an interesting topic to everyone.

But I love XP!
Well Windows 7 outperforms both Vista and XP by miles!! In this article "How does Windows 7 compare to XP?" there is a Proof!

My Vista Experience:
I've been on vista for over a year. The first thing I did when I first installed it is downloading SP1 and install it. Vista became very stable and ran very smoothly

I have to add that my laptop has 4GB of RAM which is more than enough for the Vista beast. I also installed the 64-bit edition to make use of my Dual Core processor.

Windows 7:
Most of the people look at OS upgrades as Software Upgrades. The latter is all about new features, better GUI, performance..etc. However the former is about more stability, security..(under the hood stuff).

With Windows 7 it seems that Microsoft is pulling what they've missed in Vista: truly new User Experience and very good performance (compared to Vista)

They redeveloped the very old toolbar thing and call it super bar now

The stupid UAC window (the source of users frustration and negative feedback of Vista) that shows up whenever you want to do system changes is much more intelligent now.

There is a new Paint and Wordpad!! they haven't been touched since god knows when!

Upgrading from Vista to 7:
My only concern is upgrading to Windows 7 license. I would love to see Microsoft appreciate those who DO HAVE vista license and give them a quite good upgrade price.

Here are some good links (with screenshots):

Taken during our desert trip. Hemmeid حميد, the driver, was explicitly asked to WOW us with his 4x4 on the dunes. I've been to Six Flags, Disney and Universal Studios in the U.S. and I gotta tell, this has equal fun.

Sorry for not updating in a long time, been in Dubai visiting Gitex. It's about time to continue SIWA's set. Sorry that I kept you waiting.
