Cairo like you never saw it before!!

Last Saturday, I was attending the JDC egjug.org/jdc2008 .. I was much distracted on the day, generally, & I didn't benefit much. Anyway, during the "Java & .NET interoperability" session presented by Pooya Darugar, he showed popfly popfly.com I don't know why really :D.. While he was showing it, he created a sample "Mashup" on the fly.. It was a simple app that gets pix from flickr flickr.com given a tag & displays them in a cool way.. Trying to be friendly, he chose "Cairo" for the tag.. As I told u earlier, I was much distracted (& had a bit of a headache too).. so between the ghosts I was seeing @ that moment I saw a couple of amazing pix from flickr.. They are really amazing.. The author was someone called KoRaYeM.. I checked them today (a couple of minutes ago) .. This guy KoRaYeM is ... I can't find the word actually.. just check his pix.. here's his profile on flickr... flickr.com/photos/korayem .. & to my astonishment he has just started photography since last August!!! according to this flickr.com/photos/korayem/2131413578/ .. The pix I saw on JDC are those: http://flickr.com/photos/75354058@N00/1803230025/ http://flickr.com/photos/75354058@N00/1543283671/ This last one was even available in Diwan Bookstore according to this http://flickr.com/photos/korayem/2094998893/ & http://flickr.com/photos/korayem/2097936648/ The first one is on my PC background right now :D.. The guy has a blog too: http://korayem.net/

NIN : Ghosts I-IV

NIN (Nine Inch Nails) new album was released lately.. I guess at the first days of this month.. The Album name is Ghosts I-IV, simply coz it's divided into 4 parts (Ghosts).. Yet I don't know why "Ghosts" not parts or anything else.. The album has 5 editions.. With one of them costing $300 !! It Sold out anyway :D (2500 copies!!) Ye, one of editions can be downloaded for free, in return for your e-mail (for me it's already with them so I didn't give them much, actually I knew about it through their newsletter on that very e-mail anyway).. The free edition has Ghosts I which is the first 9 tracks (MP3 format, really hi-quality ones) + A 40-pages PDF file (with 40 magnificent images) + extras (wallpapers from the 40-pages PDF, for both regular & wide screens, & some web graphics including NIN logo -which I like a lot- & other graphics including the one in this post).. I kept the tracks playing all day today & I really liked them all.. Actually I'm thinking about buying the $5 edition.. You can check album & download the free edition (& any other edition if u got the money :D, coz the other editions won't be shipped soon) ate the album site: http://ghosts.nin.com/ You can read more on Wikipedia:

Wikimania 2008, Alex, Egypt, Call for participation Deadline is drawing near

For those who visit my blog probably you know since long but I just realized that I (myself) don't visit my friends blogs, for more than a year, may be (long live Google, Reader.. or is it "Don't"..lol).. Anyway, I'm just making sure that you know that Wikimania2008 (which will be held on 17-19 July, Alex, Egypt) call for participation deadline is drawing near. It is March 16, 2008.. So if you want to attend as a speaker, hurry up!! If you rather be a regular attendee -like me ;)- you'll have to just wait & keep tuned to the event page (that's http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ).. I waited.. so much for the organizers to make an FB event but they didn't.. so I'll :P ( as if it's a must.. lol)
