Jordan Festival Website (Reported Attack Site!)

Filed under: Events, Technology — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 11:40 pm

Few days ago Amer (my friend) asked me to check Jordan Festival website, I forgot about it and today after seeing the ads on the streets I decided to go there and check the schedule of the festival in order to see if there are any interesting events that I would like to attend.

What happened when I used Firefox to open the website? Let the picture tell you:

Jordan Festival Website :)

Apparently the company that developed the website is called IT Imagine and their hosting servers are extremely black listed. What’s going on IT Imagine?!

Is Queen Rania trying to take the web by a storm (and stealing Facebook pages)?!

Filed under: Life, Technology — Tags: , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 1:14 pm

Queen Rania is descovering the power of the social media.

After 14 months on YouTube, I was wondering if Queen Rania wants to discover the power of social media and networking tools on the web one after the other when I saw her on Twitter a week ago (now with more than 40,000 followers). Apparently I was mistaken, Queen Rania is working on her online presence using more than one social media at once.

Filed under: Life, Technology — Tags: , , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 8:07 pm

On

Today, I got an email from someone that’s saying: “Queen Rania Uses Twitter”. I signed in to my twitter account and searched for Queen Rania, I found her profile there with a lot of updates during the last few hours, actually the first update was posted yesterday. Until now Queen Rania on twitter has 2,993 followers and the number is increasing rapidly each time I refresh the page.

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.

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.

Filed under: Technology — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 1:32 am

Apple has launched a beta version of their new software for iPhone (3.0) and putting everything else aside, the best part is that Apple finally added the Arabic language support.

The iPhone is already being sold in 4 Arab countries Jordan, Egypt, KSA and UAE. It’s also supposed to be launched sometime soon in Qatar.

We have to make the choice, RAIN or INTERNET

Filed under: Life, Technology — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 9:56 am

I think that our telecommunications companies are not aware of the importance of the internet for us nowadays! Last night I went back home while it was raining heavily, I opened my laptop and tried to open gmail to check my email! it wasn’t more than 10 minutes before I lost my internet connection!
