Saleh Blog

Hello everyone,

This is my first time to blog. It might be my first time to write english contents extensively. Anyway, my name is Saleh. I’m a student in Kuwait University and my major is computer engineering. I don’t like to talk about my life too much, so I’ll stop here.

At first I thought blog is pronounced “bee-log”, but today I read on wikipedia that it is pronounced blog, as one word.

My favourite hoppy is programming (or working on PC generally). I start learning programming since I was about 12 years old with actionscript language which is used ob Macromedia Flash 4. I fell in love with flash and programming since that time. My second language was Visual Basic on its version 6, I can recall that time, I was on UK on vacation while my dad is doing his PhD there. I went with my dad to the university library to borrow visual basic 6 book. That time Flash 5 has released and I was extremely excited when I read the news about it.

My 3rd programming language, although it is not really a language, is HTML. I start learning it from an arabic website back when I was about 13 years old. My 4th language is C and C++. I learnt it from two good instructor back in high school to get prepared to participate on International Olympiad in Informatics IOI. I participated two years on row IOI2003 Korea and IOI2004 USA. I’m was hoping to participate in IOI2004 on my last year on high school, but I didn’t have time since it was last year in high school and I needed keep my attention on study.

 In my 2nd and 3rd year college I participated on ACM ICPC Arab Region, which is programming contest for college students.

Gaming is my second favourite hoppy. I start gaming since I was like 3 years old with Atari, then Nintendo, Sega, PC, Playstation 1 & 2… 90% of my gaming was on PC. I love high quality graphic games.

Why blogging?!

Well, I admit I don’t have much time, especially with lots of college study to do everyday and lots of projects. One of the reasons is to write on PC… I like to use computers. Another reason is to show people my opinion on computer and internet world, politices, and anything on life. The third reason is to learn since blogging for a certain topic sometimes need research and reading. There are more reasons but they are not clear on my head (What I’m talking about!).

Wow this is my first topic and I already got you all bored… I think I’ll stop here.
