Known as the dinasour to his UJ colleagues, actually some insisted to replace Science's square dinasour with his statue, the 23 year old finaly graduated and got his BSc. After 6 years of suffering mainly from teachers & the system.

But wait, damn it doesn't feel like it's over, Asfour told him nothing feels like it( It took Asfour also 7 years to graduate ). But he swears, something is missing, maybe because he spent so many years in that freakin uni, and never really cared about it? But he's glad the burden is over.

He had to pass 126 credit hours, but the records say he took 195 hours. Some stats through the journey.

F's in the 6 years: 16( 48 hours )
A's in the 6 years: 9( 8 of them in the first two years )

Number of semesters with semester average of Zero: 3

Average of all semesters during the first 2 years didn't go below 3.33
Average of all semesters after 2nd year was below 2.8

GPA after 2nd Year: 3.6
Total GPA: 2.89

Friends and I usually go for a BBQ every now and then. Today the weather was outstanding, we decided to give it a try. Thursday night is "Saturday night" in Jordan. Usually everybody wakes up really late on friday mornings, I'm no exception. Woke up on Dima's call( As usual ). went to pick up Dima and waited for nearly 20 mins!! then she blamed us being late meeting our other friends on me( typical women ).

As usual I'm doing the thinking, planning out how we're going to tackle the issue of the BBQ. As you can see I was rudely interrupted and someone took a picture and disturbed my line of thought

Salam, Khalid & Dima enjoying friday's sun while I was doing all the hard work

Abul yomon started a blog, one of the very few true hackers I've known in the past two decades. A blog to keep an eye on!

Welcome to the blogsphere Check out Damdoom's first post and the new "duetto" blog.

Here are some pictures from my trip to dubai last month. I got a 256mb xD card for the cam & useless Lithium battery which lasted for 3 days only.

Too bad I forgot to take my cam to some really other nice places Hopefully next time I'll get the chance.

3 years back, I used to own an internet cafe/gaming center. I must say it was located in one of the weirdest neighborhoods in Amman, it was very close to NES( New English Schools ). After a short while We( me & my partner ) got to know all the guys our age in the block, and they were damn hilarious.

One of those weird nights, we decided to create a group called Garfaneen, we only published two originals.

I've been interviewed by LinuxJournal this week. The interview is about some Open Source projects in Jordan, and my involvement in PHP. I must say I'm really honored to be interviewed by LJ.

I thank from all of my heart Tom Adelstein who during this interview not all became someone I enjoy talkin' to, but a real close friend. I'm honored that I know Tom, I'm learning alot from him every singel day. I'd like to also thank abdelqader Jaradat & Steffen Macke for their extraordinary help by providing me information about BMFO.

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Read the Interview.

Last two weeks were horrible. Still one more week to go, it's not funny when you say goodbye to the best friends you've had in your life. 4 of my dearest friends who has been my friends since I was 6 years old are leaving/left the country. It's so sad.

Not only that, tom my brother is leaving to the states to do his masters.

These pictures were takin the night Fadi left. May god be with you Fadi( aka: abu 7amdi )

Last wednesday was special in everyway. Najwan got engaged; that makes her the first person in our "shilleh" to be officially non single.

after travelling 18 hours or actually 19 if you include the way from home to airport I reached my destination; middle of no where, hehe. I'm currently in the breathtaking Gaustablikk Resort to attend EZ summer camp 2005. Had to take two buses from Oslo in a 4 hour trip to get to Rjukan. There the really nice CEO of ez was waiting, he drove me and 4 other participants to the resort. The country is so beautiful, so green, nature is amazing!

Yesterday was one of the weirdest/craziest days in my life, I need at least 2 hours to write about that, will do when I get some time
