Bin Ads in Jordan, Creatively Ironic

Creatively Ironic.... I hope people will get it this way ... at least,,,,



For Real,I guess one day we'll need to get Cindy Crawford making a promo on JTV throwing something in the Bin & all the guys going behind her throwing in the Bin & going after her... "Be clean, throw it in the Bin & Follow me!" !

I hope such ads in the newspapers will affect some people at least, Sha3teelee's Latest Post
is just an example to how un respectful those Bins are in town, again & again , its about Culture, Its about Kids Learning from their parents, its useless if you teach kids how to be clean in a clean environment in a subject or 2 at the school if he is leaving it right the opposite way with his parents & the community around him/her.

Sorry for the Quality of the Pic, it was taken Late Last night using My Cam from Yesterdays Al-Rai Newspaper.

Thanx for the Greater Amman Municipality for its efforts, as well as the newly formed Ministry of Environment.

a Tribute to Mo'nes Razzaz...

الى اين يهرب المرء من ضجيج هذا العالم المرهق , ليعقد هدنة مع النفس ولو الى حين ؟ أي ملاذ بوسعه ان يوارينا بين الحين و الآخر بعيدا عن رنين الهاتف و جرس الباب و ابواق السيارات و صوت التلفزيون ؟

.... الايام قصيرة .. والاعوام طويلة ..من ذا الذي قال لي ذلك ؟ تركض و تلهث طوال اليوم .. موعد هنا , مقابلة هناك , اجتمع هنالك .. و في نهاية السنة تقف . متأملا ما أنجزته , فاذا به لا شيء !!!

Mo'nes Al-Razzaz, May god Rest His soul...

Being a person who likes originals as is , i didnt translate this, it sounds better in his own words.

Stop Smoking!

Kill Your Smoke Before it Kills you,
I should be really making an effort to write a post about smoking in Jordan... where all the non-smoking signes are strongly unrespected.. I just hate my father for how much he smokes carelessly!

Thanks to: http://adsoftheworld.com

MAC FM!

Check it out on MacRadio Live 3.30 - 6 AM Jordan Local Time , Thursday Dawn...
Or lsn to it recorded anytime, any where on www.yourmaclife.com

I wonder how the news is on Mac Radio ..... maybe:

"A Jordanian Taxi Driver was seen to Have MAC OS X Tiger DVD used as an accessory for his internal method, the individual declared the DVDs performance in transforming his care transparently invisible for the Speed Radars on the roads!"

hehe ,, just a Jordanian touch!

This is what i call High School!

Respect to the school I couldnt get in! I was accepted as a "2nd Call" ...
just tell me who's the stupid person who would have given up his seat for me on such a school!

Any, details about the event are found HERE
or sha3teely's Post days ago

Such a Stupid .... Earthquake!

This Post discusses the Earthquake Rumor that Bloat in the Jordanian community last weekend – week start.

If your head is made of dumb stones STOP READING THIS CAUSE Im SICK OF ARGUING WITH YOU!
Else, even if your head is made of “Jameed” you can continue the post laughing ironically!

How did it start?!
I dont really know! How & Where?! I know that sometime about 10 days ago the ministry of education announced in collaboration with the Civil Defense Forces ( AKA Jordanian Ambulance, Rescue & Fire Department) a day of evacuation training on the 18^th of September. I repeat, a fully planned & pre announced in the Newspapers training in all the schools around the kingdom.

((I personally didnt know about this training but saturday, but check the archives & figured out that it was announced way before as well as Thursday,Friday,Saturday & Sunday in a row))

On the other hand, at the company im training at an employee “Berj” said that he heard an earthquake on the 18^th, of course we made fun of his idiotic thoughts!

Exactly the same day my mum said that being at one of her “friends”, her friends daughter said that she heard on the radio that an earthquake hit Mekka & its coming towards Jordan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU ALL know me as a RADIO oriented guy! I kept flipping all the station that i can get thru FM & AM (remembering my old good AM skills ;) & i heard nothing about such news of an earthquake happening at Mekka! Besides,The statement “& Its heading towards Jordan” was a 100% Rumor indicator. What shall I say, I’ve crapped laughing that night :P

What Next!?
On Thursday, My dad,coming from Karak, said that in Karak & Tafile all the schools will be off! No,not that evacuation trainings will be performed but that people wont send kids to their schools because .....

Now be ready for this big lie ::::::::::::::::::::::::
Because Israel is getting rid of Her Dimona Nuclear Factory in the naqab desert & this will be making a huge destroying Earthquake!

WHAT ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok! as any explosion it will make some seism-waves in the earth but not “a huge earthquake” Damn it! My father was actually more afraid of Radiations!

“My dear father, those arent arabs to blow a bazooka over their heads when someone is married!”

I didnt argue with my father because i know he always believes people,so i was just making fun of him & the whole situation. But didnt argue with him anyway letting him discover it by his self... ironically!

Believe it or not, he even encouraged me to go to the University & see what happened with my registration & marks since the Hashemite University is a safe remote place!

Ma 3alena..

Saturday night’s hysteria!
I didnt witness that one! I’m a person who has been ‘fixly’ sleeping at 12 midnight to wake up at 6,15 AM.
Sunday morning, I was hearing the stories from people around..... I couldnt stand between them that morning not declaring my ironic laughing on the situation, want to laugh dear reader?! Read this!

– “They” called us at 11,30 & woke us up, telling us that the earthquake will happen this night at 1,28 ... ya3nee by 1,30 it would have hit the town!

– Since it didnt come I went to sleep & My children started to cry not wanting me to die sleeping!

– “Grabetna el wasel”, “My cousin in the Army”, “my uncles nephew who is in the security ”, “a high official in the family” .... etc .. all of those where TRUSTED SOURCES assuring &/or Not excluding the Rumor!

– I said let us pray a bit in order to assure our selves before the moment comes...

– someone in Aqaba assured there will be an earthquake tonight.

– Our neighbors are still awake in the home garden waiting for it!

& more ... & more ... & more of all this funny laughable Crap!

Oh dear me,Im still laughing while writing this to you,
of course dont forget that every1 had only Quraan on their Radios & players all day long on Sunday,& The Rumor Guy at the company ”Berj” didnt even come to work.
& hey, even my Mum (a Wise Woman!) kept arguing with me on the phone at around 11.30 to come back home from the company!

My Interesting Impressions!
* I didnt know we have such High Technologies of pretending earthquakes before it’ll happen with days & weeks & estimate when it will happen by the exact minute & even give the exact time it will reach to each & every town in Jordan!

* apparently such high technologies are all located in Aqaba!

* & Yeah, in each & Every town in Jordan people were hearing another time for it reaching the town ... hehe, it would have reached Jerash at 1.30 & Amman at 3.20! even Gaza Camp Buses reach amman speeder ;P

* Tsunami!!!! Every1 forgot that it was a full moon night & the sea water’s level & its waves are normally to rise in such a night!

My Impressions! Sorry Jordan, YOU WERE STUPID!
Yeah, Our community was the silliest, most stupid & the most ******* !
The problem that each & every time you would explain to people about it that not even those Japanese couldnt announce an emergency state before a quake but 3-5 minutes before!

No one can understand that an earthquake hitting aqaba cant make a Tsunami without people feeling it, neither that no Tsunami can be formed in Aqaba Gulf, not even in the the shallow & tight Red Sea.

For everyone who remembered God I said Good morning. God’s the creator,didn’t you know that?!

I dont know why but Im sick of all my explanations to those people. Im really sad & feeling very unpleasant from how this community acted & dealt with those Rumors, not only that , but some came out with stories that it actually happened in Aqaba but didnt reach amman, & others that it will be coming Sunday night being just a mistake in “Calculations!”
Like if we have the greatest Mathematicians & physicians in the whole wide world!

& Of course now street political experts came out with the conclusion that the government made this out to make people forget about Fuel prices rising. The problem is that those people don’t even know how much the fuel is rising!
5% my dear not 30 % !! & diesel is rising 22% not 300% …. Yeah, I heard it 4 times till now from people! 300%!

Finally … We Need a Solution!
Reading & Thinking…. The most rare resources in our community!
If you don’t know something say I don’t know, stop analyzing & dropping us with your precious thoughts.

Honestly, if I would have gone with the flow & believed all those things I would have been ashame of my self at least & not open my mouth with more Crappy stuff!

The Jordanian Community owns its self an official apology! Thank god we are a nation that doesnt know how to politely apologies but say “7AGGAK 3ARASEE”!

Sorry again, but still, i cant express my sadness & anger upon this incident, or shall i call it something else?! POLITE NAMES FOR THE SITUATION ARE WELCOMED!

North is Southern!

This Photo is terrible!

This Photo Belongs to Katelyn
who is an American Student that came to UJ during this summer for a coupla months or so along with a bunch of other american Students studying Arabic & Eastern History in the states. Whome I came by her temporary Traveller blog yesterday.

I dont think Katelyn took this picture noticing that north is south & South is north (Since I figured that Katalyn know some arabic) ... the expressions in the blog show excitement more than irony.

But its really such a shame,The Sign is brand new apparently,but .... WRONG!
SAUDI ARABIA aint in the north! & Iraq aint to the south neither!
Thank god the arabic orientation is right!

.. & watch out dear readers, Im monitoring photos over the web
..more ... & Even more!

East Vs. West = Right Vs. Left!

Interesting ... except that it looks the same! ......mostly!
((IF YOU ARE ON JordanPlanet Please View the posts in my BLOG to View The Photos!))

Anyway,I came by this while surfing a new "Bloggy" community for Design,Adv, & Computer Based Arts (Talking MACs insdie!) ...

The community is called: CreativeBits
I urge Jordanian bloggers interested in Design,Adv, Arts & MAC to follow it up & be members in it.. mentioning: Roba, Mr Humeid, Mira ..... etc!

Finally, Google Egypt ;)

Yup, we have it! Google's 1st HQ in the arab world... hitting Cairo Streets ;)
Thank god no spelling mistakes where made during the "Promotional Phase"!

& Hey,Are those white papers sticked on the door "Career announcements"!

re-OpetH-ing!

The Swedish Opeth, one of the Greatest Metal/Progressive Rock bands in the whole world, & my very best favorites got their new album out on the track.
Ghost Reveries which was released August 30th has been playing in my haedphones since last Saturday..
Wonderful,
Out of this world,
Unbelievable! it just moves you into another dimension of your life.

This album was kind of a collection of all the themes they had in their past albums, starting Orchid up to the Very Metalish "BlackWater Park" & "Deliverance", down to the Progressive 2003 album: "Damnation".

But, with all this collection of themes, the Album by its self is forming a Unique theme.. its not quiet the same feeling, its slightly different ... 8 tracks moving you from Karma to Nirvana.

Wonderful,
For those opeth fan readers, GET THE Album ,, I mean, how can u call ur self an Opeth fan & ur resisting not having 1 of the albums..

For those still fresh rockish interested people, U might not find the album in the local market, check their website, get the lyrics & dig for the albums around & about.

The songs are "either those from this new album or previous ones" are a complete circle of poetic Lyrics (that are old english written mainly) , Music & style.

It's to mention that Opeth were just around the corner to perform a BIG gig her in Jordan,,, the Gig was meant to be held at the Amman Arena Theater on Nov 28th 2003, all the tickets were running out (I remember the suffering of getting a 1st Class ticket... I kept running for it till finally I couldnt get more than a 3rd Class ticket ... actually the whole gang & Campus went for the 3rd Class except 1 lucky guy who found a 2nd class ticket :P) ... but the gig was canceled 3 days before it cause of the death of a family member of Opeth's vocalist "Michael" ...
5000 Jordanian fans got upset of the cancellation,,, a gig that wasnt recovered after Bloat between the Jordanian Organizer & the band on new times.....

ehhh ,,, Any way, this is the best damn rocking band in the whole wide world!

Check their latest album (Ghost Reveries) This Friday on LC "Listeners Choice" on Radio Jordan FM 96.3 EXCLUSIVELY ...

indeed on the only station the plays all kinds of Rock Music in town .. (Shall I tell that one of the ways Opeth got famous in Jordan was Radio Jordan FM :)

Be tuned !

The ONE.. Total Life Experience!

The ONE, one of the finest "funky Home stuff" store in town..if not the only ONE!
kudos to The ONE Cafe part of the store its self...
not for having the best cuisine in town,
not for being the most relaxing place i've ever been to in my whole life,
not because my friend & colleague Diana works at The ONE,

But!

.....
Because the wonderful environment of the one cafe made my parents get back togather!!!

its just that this place has too much magic in it!

Project Looking Glass 3D, a Reality Dream!

Sun Microsystems, world's leader Server Supplier & the creator of the greatest Object Oriented language in Programming History “JAVA”, is the one behind the project that is to move desktop PCs usability & interface to the next level.


Project Looking Glass 3D is the 1st Operating System with an entire 3D world of display (I HOPE THIS TIME IMAGES ARE APPEARING ON JORDAN PLANET TOO!), bringing a richer user experience to the desktop and applications via 3D windowing and visualization capabilities. It is an open source development project based on and evolved from Sun Microsystems' advanced technology project. It supports running unmodified existing applications in a 3D space (That is in Linux/Solaris session mode, Just like im doing now writing this to you), as well as APIs for 3D window manager and application development.

The nice thing about the whole thing, rather than having a 3D operating System that will turn our PC into a .....let's say Small virtual world that can be called “a world!” , it is that this project is an Open Source Software where it's not built only by Java specialists at sun but a whole community that builds up its vision for a completely new world closer to the users community that they their selves are part of after all!

Yes, even YOU can be part of this project through out your java.net account;)

the underdevelopment project is indeed the graphical 3D interface which is built using Java. I personally dont think the C written kernel for an operating system is such a big deal for SUN since we all know how performant & wonderful Sun's Solaris' Kernel is.

The LG3D project indeed uses J3D API & makes benefit of JAI libraries (Java Advanced Imaging), all with some widely “canvasic” imagination of a developer part of the project ;) (& believe me this “canvasic” imagination is just so brain stormy since I've been programming Java 3D canvases just over a coupla months ago!)

So, now since it's a developers community, developer's will need to have some developers editions, that u can enjoy as a user as well ;)

Yup! U can run Project Looking Glass on your desktop too!
when I've did a seminar about LG3D last semester in my GUI course release 0.6.1 was available then, & only on Linux & Solaris platforms, whilst now release 0.7.1 is available for Windows Platforms too!

All u have to do is to go to:

https://lg3d.dev.java.net/

here u will be able to find all the requirements, downloads & installation note to get this 3D world running on your desktop!

in short, the requirements are: J2SE 1.5, J3D 1.4, JAI 1.1.2 & finally LG3D it self :)

LG3D will be running as a window in your operating system since its a developers version, on Solaris & Linux platforms u can switch to text mode turning off ur KDE or GNOME interface & running the LG3D Session, now in the session mode u'll be able to run even normal 2D applications that are installed on your PC appearing in 3D shapes & part of the whole env as well .... COOOOOOOOOOL!

Performance assessment: release 0.6.1 worked very well in dev “That is development” mode on linux fedora 2 with me, it worked perfect on 3amr's 2 Ghz Cellaron with 128 MB RAM even believe it or not! but we couldnt run it in session mode since it refused all the keyboards we have attached! Junk keyboards in this country :P

release 0.7.1 was first tried on Windows at its release by me, on my home 2Ghz P4 with 384 MB RAM it worked a lil bit slow, I've tried it on a 3Ghz P4 HT with 512 RAM & still didnt work as perfect as it did on Linux with a Cellaron machine!!!!

Now the WOW thingy is that it ran on my P4 that has an intel 64MB extreme graphics 1 VGA running the newly released Fedora Cora 4 (WHICH IM IN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE With) despite this VGA isnt 3D accelerated as Nvidia Gforce or ATI Radon, note that it didnt work with the Fedora 2 on my machine but on Amr’s,while now with FC4 its like Fire....damn this 3D environment is running speeder than Windows XP with minimum services on my PC ;P ... Thanks Mr Kefah for Fedora Core 4:)

& here’s the great thing now...
TARAAAAANN, Im running it in session mode now while writing this post.. yes, i turned of KDE & ran LG3D on raw kernel from the text mode, & im currently running Open Office 2.0 (which is a 2D application installed on my Linux Box) ,& YES THE KEYBOARD IS WORKING, Not only this,but also Listening to Tori Amos’s Latest CD (The Beekeeper) using KsCD “Another 2D Linux Application”;) & God I Love it !

I think my new Task now is to modify ANACODIA’s code in order to add Looking Glass 3D session option at log-in a long with KDE & GNOME :) “Any Assistance out there is appreciated”
Man I Love it!

It’s finally to notice that no session mode is available on Windows platform. Hehe,dream on Actually ;) I have actually made a small demo of looking glass during the Linux event @ hu earlier this august ,it wasn't professional as i have introduced it in the GUI course Seminar,we ran LG3D 0.7.1 on Linux Suse 9.3 (we didnt have Fedora Core 4 Then) on a 3 Ghz P4-HT Acer Brand machine with 512 MB of RAM with a normal non-3D accelerated Intel 64 MB VGA, but it didnt work as performant as it is running on Fedora 4 .. I mean,now running LG3D in session mode on Fedora 4’s kernel with 2D applications running is way much more speeder than the dev mode ran then on Suse,despite I have exactly the same VGA & 1 Ghz less CPU speed, not forgetting the HT differences! So Run it on Linux RedHat Fedora Core 4,,,,,,, & ENJOY!

PS: a Live CD is also available on SourceForge.net
