You know what? The one I'm most happy about is the cancelled one:
May be find my love: lose hope
I hope you really and deeply cancelled it, because I think finding the love is not a wish and when it is a wish we can never achieve it. I think it is more a life stream that goes slowly in our hearts, and if we kept sceptic at the begining of every relation we start, by asking ourselves is she the one? and starting analyzing it, I think we ruin the relation, and we more put ourselves in the mode of searching all the time which makes our hearts less free to express its feelings. But when we give the chance to the wind of life to lead us where our hearts find rest more smoothly, I think we will find the love of our lives, we will also build all kind of healthy relations. I'm not canceling the importance of using our minds, but I'm just looking at the issue from a specific phase.
I liked your wish list, but it is too organized, and I think may be this why I liked it.
Happy Birthday Friend.

What you are describing is "searching for wife", keeping skeptic at every relation by that question inside us "Is she the one?". I guess when I put "may be finding my love" as a wish last year, I meant something different. At that time, I find my need to have love in my empty live. It was a heart need more than a mind decision.

However, I confess that the question "Is she the one?" is dropped in my head many times. And like you said, it makes our hearts less free to express its feelings without thinking "Is this overreacting?" or "Would she understand my free words in a different way?". Well, this's a fear in my live. Being afraid that the other will understand my free way of talking in a different way, forcing me to CHAIN my feelings. And here comes the hammers in my brain, "Why you said this or that?", "Keep silent, you better keep your tongue in your mouth!!!", "You're in eastern society where your free feelings aren't suitable?". So, I keep my feelings for myself, keep my words tied and here I'm a new member in non-free big society.

I'll kill YOU for initiating this stream in my head again. I almost forgot that I'm not free and may be imagined or kidding myself that I can say what I want.

Initiate the first arabic open source magazine
Thumbs up

ikhnaton2 | Sun, 01/10/2006 - 7:17pm

Tarek, to be frank with you, this's not a new idea. I proposed the idea in Linux-Egypt in May, 2005. We brainstorm, assign articles to people and made a site for the magazine. People was very enthusiastic about it. We called the magazine "همزة وصل". After 2 months, everything fades down. I don't know why? People at that time said, Arabs can't complete one project, we didn't have "SMART goals" as Ashraf said and things like that.

I felt bad that time coz I wanted to make this project. May be we didn't plan it correctly, we didn't have clear goals or may be it wasn't the suitable time for it. I don't know and you know what, that wish was gonna go to the cancelled wishes this year but don't know why I put it in to be continued wishes. It's a dream. I didn't work on it last year and I wish someone will pay attention to it and think about it.

The problem I'm facing with myself is that I'm not good Arabic technical writer. We organized it very well but I guess, I didn't push people enough to be committed to it.

Replying on your last reply:

If one rule I abide by so strong in life would be: “when you feel something, or think of anything, say it now without decorations or a proper reason,, for you’d never know when your last chance.” (and let whoever, say whatever,, I do not care Smiling )
Hmm, I learnt in my short life, regrets especially after losing people are far worst than whatever reaction might be received..

El mohem,,, ba3edan 3n el kalam el technical el faze3 w elli kal 3ada malesh feh awi ya3ni..
Kol sana w enta tayb, w 3o2bal ma t3eesh l7ad ma t2ol lel donia ya bas,, kefaya 3alaya l7ad hena .. tala3eni 3al ma3ash ba2a Laughing out loud

Thanks, Lasto adri.

A simple question about saying whatever, can you say to a guy "You are so nice?" without doubting "he could understand it wrongly and thought I'm in love with him" while you're not, you're just saying your free feelings.

lasto adri (not verified) | Mon, 02/10/2006 - 2:00am

Well, I do not know how you’ll get that, but yes I did before. I am with you it can’t be left to the open this way, but someway or another there are people in your life you can find yourself free to talk with without having this mis-understand. I believe I was lucky having –such- people who understand quite well who am I, how I react to things, and so it wasn’t very odd *of me*..

(e7m,, wad7 eni da5lt fl mawdo3 el 3’alat, ka 3adati Laughing out loud ), However, I wasn’t talking about she/he relationships only, but in general, secretly hinting at –my reference without details- a personal relationship with a girl (friend) in school, when she suddenly passed away..

Bottom line is:
Sometimes you need to say something,, nase7a, law mesh 3eb wala 7aram,, say it,, bas mesh lazm in the sense it would make the other feel “I love you ya3ni” :S especially girls,, ma bysada2o :S

Keda aw keda,, personal opinions differ and you free to take what suits you Eye-wink

About making your blog XHTML 1.0 compliance, it is an easy step, I fixed the errors and warning in my blog http://egjug.org/hashimblog/ in one day and fixed few defects in Wordpress in 1 hour and it is compliance now Eye-wink

I think if you will do, start fixing the drupal theme.

ikhnaton2 | Tue, 03/10/2006 - 12:38am

You're right, it's in 2 steps:
1. Fixing the Drupal theme.
2. Change the default input format to make comments XHTML compliance.

But in the main time, it's not very easy because I depended on wiki module of drupal in earlier posts which generate an non-XHTML-compliance code. So, I have to go through posts one-by-one and make it XHTML by myself.

By the way, I find this FireFox extension that validate pages' HTML and generate cleaned XHTML code automatically. This's very helpful.
