What am I going to do now?

| | Comments (0)
Somehow everything is settled down here in London.
Still haven't got my super computer from Dubai and I just work on my two laptops.
Somehow I'm happy with my websites, except the Sedubai project which has great future but needs alot more work to be done.

I was just checking the crawler. out of 8 websites i used to crawl just 2 of them are working. the rest are either offline or changed the format of their websites.
I've got to get this up and running.

I have pretty amazing ideas for it.

Designing another weblog

| | Comments (1)
It's been longtime that I'm working on an standard design for my 2 other weblogs. They look good, I like them. I followed the same style I have on this weblog. Oh man I have to work harder, I haven't worked on the search engine for weeks. you know why? I just came to know a beautiful girl, and it's like spending my time with her is more enjoyable than spending time on the computer. and It just made my mind busy. just like that, I wonder how people with wife and kids are living their life. or maybe i've got too much on my schedule. (which I can't stop working on them) I believe I can do more, I should do more.

iPhone 3G

I still can't believe i paid 9 thousand dirhams for a phone. I've been waited for so long to get an iPhone, but I used to tell myself that I have to wait till the new one comes out. And I had to prove that I'm a freaky Geeky person. so here I am 9000 dirham less. ;D no worries, I wish iPhone had MMS, I wish it had Video Call.
What I do exactly is Media but I also work on
Some weblogs (nicknamed)
Developing a Search engine (It has got AI)
Photography plus an online photogallery I have www.photodubai.com
Tarot reading, I'm trying to be good at it and I never charged anyone
Journalism, I used to be good at it.
I'm writing a fiction story, too. Don't know when I'm going to finish it.

About me

| | Comments (3)
Ali is defined by his passion to learn and try new technologies; some of these technologies are so though that not many people have the guts to touch them.
Since he was a child, 7 year old, he has been exposed to computers. He showed a great interest in computer programming and computer generated graphics.
When he was 16 year old, he made his first program with VB Dos, and since then he is developing windows and web applications.
Ali has done his bachelor in the IT and has achieved Microsoft Certified Solution Developer certificate. He is a certified trainer too and wants to teach others whatever he knows.
After completing his MCSD, he design a photo gallery website (www.photodubai.com) using ASP.net and mySQL. Photodubai is ranked the most top Google search on photo and Dubai keywords.
He worked as a computer programmer with different companies and developed many business solutions.
Recently he made few Facebook applications using php and mySql that received a huge number of user activity and interest.
But in the middle of his programming adventures, he got into journalism and media profession. He wrote dozens of non-IT related articles for some of the well-known news agencies. His attitude of creating videos and animations with Adobe products led him deeply into Media and Broadcasting professions.
Now, He is working for the biggest broadcasting corporation in the Middle East but still didn't let his passion of coding go away.
So, right now Ali is working on a very unique and creative Web 2 idea (on his free times) and someday it will make a big hit.

MacBook Air

Hey!
I've got a Mac, and I'm Happy!

I really enjoy it, Best time of my Life!
Honestly I enjoy OSX and Honestly I hate Vista. but .Net is my life. so I installed VMWare Fusion + Win XP and VS2005 to continue developing my big project with the best laptop in the world.
I thought my life would be difficult without windows, It seems most of the application I use are webbased applications and I've got the same Firefox installed on OSX, so everything is sorted out

Geeky problem

| | Comments (0)
Today, I came across an odd issue.
I was trying to link my blog to my geek friends in Links section.
Alright, I know two geeks in Microsoft, and a new friend I found at code.ae
So, what else? nothing...
All of my college friends are working either in Dnata or in Real Estate businesses. It's kind of depressing. We've studied Java together, We've studied e-commerce and network security together.
Maybe still I'm not enough geek! but I try to be. Maybe I didn't build a huge data center. Maybe I didn't work in a professional team. but I try to remain a programmer, someone who codes and makes applications. even if I just make facebook applications, it's related to my studies and my passion.
I like Dubai, but this city has no mercy for you (as a geek). It will make you a real estate agent.
I'm going to continue my Masters from the next academic year, hoping to see some friends like myself. but I'm kind of depressed now!

So if you consider yourself a geek! let me know, I'm looking for Geek friends

I'm applying my own design. I hate those ready made templates. But for the first time in my life, I'm doing hardcore CSS coding.
I must say, It's fun!!!!!!!!
