CSS Love Song
by Khaled on May 5th, 2006
If you did not listen to it yet, here (mp3 file) it is! it is just hilarious! The Lyrics? here you go: The supervisor rants. He says “This website’s pants! I want my clicks improved by Friday!”
I hit the URL. It’s like the bowels of hell.
God give me strength. It’s just not my day.
So raise your hands to Boag and pray that we can fix this website today.
Tonight I need your CSS, coding in the darkness.
From now on no more tables nest; you will meet web standards The source code makes me weep.
There’s tables fifteen-deep.
In Netscape 6 it looks like garbage.
The METAs say this turd was made with MS Word.
With every click I find new carnage.
So raise your hands to Boag and pray that we can fix this website today.
Tonight I need your CSS, coding in the darkness.
From now on no more tables nest; you will meet web standards.
I guess I’ll have to start from scratch - then I can kiss this piece of trash goodbye…

Two new projects
by Khaled on April 20th, 2006
I am starting two new big Web development projects these days.
The first one is for a research laboratory on orthopedic biomechanics. They are mainly focused on clinical research rather than fundamental research and their work is directly used to find new healing techniques. This field is quite interesting they consider the human body as a machine and try to treat it that way and it works! The orthopedic biomechanics are getting more importance each day. The site itself will be a PHP/MySQL driven portal designed with a CSS tableless layout of course.
The Second web project is a website for a lasik eye surgery guide. Well this will be an articles Portal site explaining almost everything about this surgery type including a full directory of LASIK surgeons classified by area and with a rating system.
So I have a lot of work to do these days so see you soon then.

In death’s embrace
by Khaled on April 11th, 2006
We’re forever captured by the embrace of death!
As Mark Gilmore said, Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we’re born. This last week I lost an uncle, he was 74, he was a very kind person! I will miss him! he passed away from a heart attack and went calmly and with no pain!

Highest paying search terms
by Khaled on April 1st, 2006
May be you don’t really realize how much the web is focused and centered on the US, just look a the highest paying search terms, it is all about the USA! And yes your guess is right mesothelioma still has a lot of interest! This is just insane, one of the rarest cancers form getting all this interest? everybody is searching for a treatment for the malignant mesothelioma, well this disease has a long latency period and just shows after decades. Moreover is anybody still exposed to asbestos these days? may be few old buildings still have it but everybody is aware of the asbestos danger and the ‘asbestos disease’ as many like to call mesothelioma! What a crazy world !Just look at the Top 60 Highest paying search words and you will see what I am talking about!!

I have a Melancholic Temperament!
by Khaled on March 29th, 2006
It seems that I am introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.
Given enough time alone, it’s easy for you to find inner peace.
You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.
At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.
To find your temperament type just take a look: Here
