The Intel i7 seminar was another successful even conducted by the chapter at May 18th, 2009 in building 20kh in Khaldiya. The seminar was presented by Naeem Hamami from Intel talking about the i7 architecture which was not yet released yet that time. He also talked about the market availability of the i7 processor and ended the session with Q&A and some prizes were given away at the end.

Attendance was moderate with about two scores of attendees. The feedback I received from Intel is that the computer engineering students were smart and most of the questions asked during the session were technical questions that needed a specialized engineer to answer their questions.

Entertainment Day

It’s an open day with lots of entertaining activities throughout the day at March 5th, 2009. Here’s a list of some of the activities we had:

• Playstation 3 football competition for guys
• Missing words competition
• Wii game for the gals
• Barbeque lunch
• Pottery Trappings
• Table Tennis
• Movie night with popcorn
• Live football match

Hundreds of students participated in some way to the event. The most excited activity was the pottery trappings were many gals participated. The picture on the left shows potteries that were completed.

The last activity was the movie show Bolt in building 20kh. Popcorns and soft drinks were handed out to the audience. Some students brought their families which was awesomely the first time families interacted with us.

After the movie, we handed out prizes for the winners of our activities and competitions.

I never ever witnessed such a storm in Kuwait! Watch until the end of the video and you’ll be shocked. It happened last Friday! Watch the video:

Me and my teammate are suppose go out that night and take some video shots of pollution in our environment for the Imagine Cup competition. Well, it came right on us like hell. Shit, I never imagine something like this can hit Kuwait! So I picked up the phone and called my teammate to take a video shot.

Mother nature is pissed! What have we done? What have we done! Climate change is affecting the whole world, even here in Kuwait.

This storm lasted for like 10min but lots of damage left behind. Next year, maybe a freaking tsunami hurricane or maybe volcano! Who knows! Shit happens when it is unexpected.

More videos of the storm can be found here.

I’m taking part in Earth Hour 2008 and I strongly recommend all of you to do the same.

Turn off your light at 8pm for an hour in March 29

Whatever you did I hope it pleased her

Okay, Wednesday (March 12, 2008) was hell of a day. I had to do 4 things in 1. As the picture explains either attend Microsoft 2008 Launch Day event, IT seminar by Eng Manar AlHashash, go in a meeting schedule with my “Super Coder” team mates in Kuwait Science Club, or read my feeds (It can be delayed though, it got delayed).

I finally decided not to go to the meeting since my team mates can do it without me. I also had to skip half of the Microsoft event because I HAD to attend a seminar that we organized it. So my Schedule went like this:

8:00am – 9:15am: Electronics lecture

9:15am – 9:45am: Wasted time waiting for my friend Hassan who forgotten to charge his cell phone! He called me 30min late telling me that he went home after lecture to recharge the phone and call me! So I told him to meet me and Mohammed Ghazall in the event area.

10:10am – 11:45am: Attended Developer Track seminar titled “Break Through Challenges with Visual Studio 2008″.

12:30pm – 2:45pm: I.T seminar in campus.

3:10pm – 3:30pm: McDonalds! Me and Mohammad.

3:45pm – 5:15pm: Attended the Microsoft event in seminar titled “IIS 7 for the Developer” and “Raffle Draw/ Closing”. Funny that my supervisor Dr. Thalaya Al-Fozan won a prize on the draw, but he wasn’t there so they canceled it.

5:45pm – 7pm: Arrived late to my CCNA-2 class.

7:30pm – 8:30pm: Finally at home, extremely exhausted and wasted. Catching my breath and getting ready for whatever comes next.

8:30pm – 2:30am: Done my homework and studies.

3:00am – 6:30am: Sleeping… sleeping… sleeping…

Wednesday… What a day eh?… truly hell of a day!

What’s the point of this post? None… just wanted to write something.

My team partners are Hassan and Amtar and we are all authunsiase toward the competition. We are working hard to get it done in short time period because we have started the real work 2 weeks ago and we got about 1.5 week to submit the written proposal. We have implicitly divided our work and it seem that our team is working good and coherently. Amtar has been visiting various institution and companies to collect information about the project we are working on. Hassan is reading and following up whatever information Amatar finds and helps her. And I have been trying to get done with learning SilverLight as our project will heavily depends on it. Not to mention that I have to read/learn every information they collect. Me and Hassan are also currently working in the written proposal.

I can update what I’m doing by mobile phone sms, email, Google talk, or by Twitter.com which is really convenient. I think I’m going to use talk indoors mostly and sms if I’m outside somewhere.

In a nutshell: Israel bombard his home which collapsed over his family. His baby got killed… it is really hard even for me to keep my tears…

Do I make sense you ask?
Well, probably no!

And I live happily ever after…

Note: I did a post before this. I totally forgot about the Silence Day.

Arabic is spoken in large part of the world, North Africa and Middle East. Moreover, Muslims everywhere have at least some basic knowledge in Arabic since the Holy Qur’an is written in Arabic. If you are interested in learning Arabic here’s some websites that teaches Arabic.

You don’t have to know .NET programming as we are going to train together one of the .NET tools. But you have to be a Kuwait University Student, undergraduate or studying master, and you need some experience in any other programming languages.
