My Days. My Life.

When I had my incident with Fun4arabs a few months ago (I think?) I thought I would not get into any other communities because they would probably all be just the same – and I didn’t get into any, much. However even though I wasn’t extremely involved with eftekasat, being just a regular visitor, I was terribly shocked by the manners some staff members had.

Comparing both f4as and eft, Fun4arabs > Eftekasat, frankly. Fun4arabs has went down hill just because Ghassan (Fun4arabs former administrator) had gotten busy with life and could not be there as often, and handed the authority to MaX – let’s not get into that shall we. But Eftekasat, it’s different – it’s been the same administration team all along ever since day one.

Yay, one more upgrade without errors. Actually upgrading wordpress (this version) is a damn piece of cake compared to other systems that require you to actually input something (I am lazy aren’t I?).

Nevertheless, I can spot a significant difference or two from barely browsing, I’m impressed to see plenty of back-end developments being done to this version however (I read that of course, I’m not that clever). It was a pain to figure out a thing or two (for example the smilies) and where they were in the source files because they were not where they originally were (for those who care, smilies are no longer in wp-includes/vars.php, they now lie in wp-includes/functions.php – I never really got why they hardcoded the smilies actually, shouldn’t they be dynamic more of?). Anyway, one tiny edit to the skin file and I were able to make use of the new tags feature which apparently is one major change on v2.3. I did some tweaks of my own (like the string instead of digit in members online now Nah, I liked the digits more, I changed that back – just for the record) and a tiny edit in the footer then, now that I’m already in there (I AM becoming very lazy).

Do me a favor, if you checked my blog ever before do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) – the CSS file should be cached and I added a couple of classes that help make things look like they actually belong here. So you can go right ahead and do just that, now (its bugging me, please? as well as clicking the ads at the top too – thanks).

Anyway, you can read more about the changes here.

I’ve been wanting to write a looong post for ages now, about specific things that happened over the course of the last month but I’m just too lazy to bother, I end up writing 3-4 long paragraphs and then lose it.

So I’m going to just state the main points here and keep it short from now on

• vodafone

vodafone has proven to be the shittiest mobile operator in Egypt, they will rob you if they had the chance! If you’re new to mobiles, either get yourself a mobinil or etisalat, I vote for etisalat however. Anyway, vodafone, stay away from it.

• dkSystem

Psycho told me before that my PHP coding style is not OOP, I may be using classes and objects but I’m not actually using them – if you know what that means. However yesterday, I was installing a couple of modifications over at our new community and noticed how references were passed into and out from specific objects. Well, dkSystem beta3 popped right out, in a more sophisticated OOP manner! I was impressed I managed my way.

The thing is, now that I understand how things can be done, I realize why it is a very important phase to analyze things before actually starting to code, because then things would be a looooot more easier, especially when having to code specific things exactly ONE time, not 11+ times!

• Google

Google managed to realise that this website is my own personal website on its own (mash2alah lol), that if you search for kamasheto this website will be your first result – impressive won’t you say? Try it out for yourself
