Google Translate

I just love it :D I tried automatically detect the language but it could not, so I forced the language option.

Sunless Thoughts

When orange people start to appear in winter …

Know there is a tanning saloon nearby and most probably it has a promotion going on!

مغاوير Thoughts

نهبط بسلام

نعمل بصمت

نقتل بعنف

This cracks me up everytime :D You may think this is mean but from the first time my brothers said it to me, I laughed my head off saying … again again and they would repeat it :P One of them skype-ed it to me hehehehe :D

My brother is in “مغاوير” and they had a training in Jordan and that is their slogan :P

Google Solution Wanted

Sometimes I search for solution based on needs I am having. I am Googlized :P aren’t we all. I have my gmails, my google search results bookmarked, my google documents, google waves, even tweets. Sometimes I want to centralize them all together, is there a product out there that does that for me. Why am I having something called, Google Projects in mind, is it out there or am I imagining it.

I want to be able to create a project within a portal for example, and link everything I have control over in one location. I’d set a project page and name it, link all related emails, documents, tweets, bookmarked search results, youtube videos, etc. Has anyone got the solution or an idea? I just don’t want to alt+tab or ctrl+tab no. all the time.

btw, is twitter still a standalone, has anyone bought it, Google, Microsoft, since everything is bought by either Google or Microsoft nowadays, I remember the last one was Google with youtube and Yahoo with who again ??

Publish Bug Update (link):

Firefox browser has no problem, just Chrome. Preview then Publish clicked from the same window can be done with Firefox but not Chrome!

Network Issue: I Know Why!

So I know why the IP phone in my room is not working on this port. That particular port is not configured as part of the voice network. Should I call up the IT department and give them the socket label and tell them to include the switch port to the voice network. I can simply suggest to switch cable connections on the switch side or just give me the keys to the building’s data room and I’ll do it ;) It’ll be a bonus, I’ll see the data room, switches, configurations, cable management, cable types, cabinet layout, physical security, all in all, it’s a win win situation :P

It so much simpler when you are in charge :D

WordPress Publish Bug

How do you update your wordpress? Me automatically, I don’t read what’s new most of the time and I don’t read the bugs and fixes. What I notice are the changes and what I’m looking for are the fixes to the bugs I faced.

I use chrome browser mostly and I know there are many hiccups, simple fact of checking hotmail or not being able to play some online games, I sometimes have trouble uploading photos to flickr and have to use firefox, even viewing pictures. I just upgraded my wordpress to 2.9.1 and still I have the same problem with chrome.

Keep in mind that I use chrome.

When writing a post, I use the preview option to open another tab to view my post, if I want to publish it, I can not, the publish process seems to go on forever, I have to stop that and click edit from the Posts menu to view all the posts and then edit that particular post and click Publish. It seems if within the same Edit Post page if you have clicked Preview, you can not publish the post by clicking Publish.

That seems to affect the publishing of a post by Scheduling, all my scheduled posts seem to fail.

I’m scheduling this post without using the Preview option first. Let’s see how it goes.

UPDATE:

So it seems scheduling works if I did not use the Preview option before within the Edit Post page!
