Mostly, I will be busy to blog anything in the upcoming days, the last activity for me this year and this semester was done today, al-7amdolelah it went just fine. I had a session in Faculty of Computers and Information today, held by depiak, titled “PHP in Action”. It was an introductory session for PHP and the web development track. It was supposed to be a live coding session, but I enjoyed talking to the audience a lot till I had no time to actually code the application we were supposed to code. The session didn’t talk about php only which is a good thing, we went into many topics, like linux and the open source concept, and what really relaxed me that the audience liked it and didn’t get bored of the off-topic discussions .
Just before this semester and this year end, I just need to thank Allah for eveything, al-7amdolelah, al-7amdolelah, al-7amdolelah. It was a great year, ups and downs bas kol 7aga mn 3and Rabena 5eer. I hope the next one will be more and more succeful, full of happiness for all of us, me, my AnGel, family and friends. I wish we all do good in our exams, although I’m somehow worried this semester, as I didn’t start studying till now, which is really late for the final semester exams, but I needed an achievement before just getting into the exams mood, as I think it will help more, so I managed to hold the previous mentioned session.
Study well, do your best and may Allah help us all. Thanks for passing by.
Lately, I have upgraded to the latest released wordpress version 2.7 named “Coltrane“. I have been testing the system and I’m trying to report the bugs I find to the wordpress team, trying to solve them. I have found till now two bugs:
The WYSIWYG editor is messed up when using a plugin named “TinyMCE Advanced”, it replaces the classic wordpress WYSIWYG editor with a more advanced one, very close to Open Office’s writer’s, with the option to cutomize it and add new buttons and place them wherever you want.

The second bug is found on the Comments page - accessed via the Comments button in the left menu -, I found my emoticons listed on a box there in a very strange place, check the next screen shot.
Wordpress 2.7, Comments' page bug
So, I will be reporting bugs I find, if you got any, let’s start to help the great team behind this mighty system. I will be posting solutions or tweaks I may find to solve bugs we find.
John Coltrane, is a JAZZ artist, and his name was chosen to be Wordpress 2.7 latest release, Coltrane. Coltrane inspired many other generations of artists with his music, and I really like this version of wordpress to be called after this inspiring artist.
As usual, wordpress team has prepared a Showcast for the last release, you will find AWESOME and really great stuff there that will let you wonder, is that wordpress?
They have been working, I really LOVE the new features, all with single clicks :). In the beginning of this year, they amazed us with the new 2.5 style, and now they have just proved how flexible they can make this stuff look like. I will be waiting for this release, I think it will ROCK any other blogging tool.
P.S: You may would like to youtube John Coltrane, if you are JAZZ fan :).
Today, the Fedora project announced the tenth release of the mighty operating system Fedora: Fedora 10. I haven’t seen a code name for this distro, after the last Sulpher. It seems that redhat is hearing my problems and just trying to solve them, that really appeared in the Release Notes. I just got astonished when I read:
There is also the ability to turn-off the Bluetooth adapter on most brands of laptops through the preferences.
That was actually a problem in Fedora 8, the distro I’m still using, but I have solved it using Omnibook which fits my laptop hardware profile greatly. Also what’s really amazing that they announced that they have enhanced the startup process, better and faster. A lot of other features announced and accepted. Some screen shots can be found here.
I didn’t give it a try yet, I should be sure that it’s stable as I had bad feedback on Sulpher, so let’s wait and see.
