insideJo is online with a better design but without Palestine!!!

Filed under: Life, Politics, Technology — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 12:44 am

Few months ago, it was my biggest mistake when I visited the website insidejo.com and wrote a review about it. Because it’s forbidden for me to give my opinion about something if it doesn’t meet the expectations of the service provider.

Now “insideJo – Jordan Maps” is online with the same concept of Google maps, but basically for Jordan. But I will ignore the whole website at this point because I don’t need to say any word that might make the employees of a company try to compare their website design with this blog design (I think the design of this blog looks better until now though).

Help kill Internet Explorer 6

Filed under: Technology — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 5:04 pm

Done21 is trying to help us to get rid of Internet Explorer 6 and all of its problems. They are providing a JavaScript code to simulate an IE yellow notice bar which prompts users to upgrade to IE8 (the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer) . A while after Justin Hileman has edited the code to encourage users to download Firefox and use it instead of IE.

I hope that this will help us to be able to work as web developers without thinking of IE6 as the bottle nick that always comes to our ways.

A quick thought that came to my mind that answers a lot of people about one question, apparently we can’t figure out the answer of some of those questions until we experience specific circumstances. I believed in the answer for a long time, but now I will spread the world with it.

Do real friends exist? simply yes they do. But what is a real friend? Basically; a real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. A real friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you. A real friend is the one who is worth ten thousand relatives. A real friend is you who stood beside me during the worst days of my life.

Did google fail to index .me domains?

Filed under: Technology — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 12:36 pm

It has been 4 months now since my friend Hadi Nasereddin launched his website (www.hadi.me), and until now I can’t see the website showing on google’s result, not even if I googled the same URL! At the begging I thought it was an SEO problem as it’s a flash website but later on when I pointed another .com domain to the same website it got indexed in 2 days.
