Well, a couple of months ago I didn’t even know how to play poker. After I got to know some people who play it a lot, I learned quickly and became top dog (jk i know you guys are laughing!). But anyways i didnt like many of the poker programs available, either it was because of the need to make an account to use online because its a professional poker site or the interface wasn’t good looking. I used Hold’em which was a microsoft game, and it was good, but it only available for windows vista ultimate, and i have business edition. Anyways i found an amazing program which is open source for all you open source lovers, has a great look, has online capability (even though i haven’t tried it yet), and even has all the hand strengths always there when playing so you never have to look further when in an argument with friends at home! you can download it at www.pokerth.net P.S. there are versions Windows, Linux and OS X
Vista Driver Problems?
I’ve had (and im sure many of you also have had) trouble with vista installing drivers of products that usually don’t need drivers, and these devices worked fine with Windows XP. Well i’ve found a fix, for most of those devices, when Windows Vista asks if you have the driver, just point it to C:\Windows (assuming that is where you have windows installed) and include subfolders. It will then find the driver, im not sure why windows doesn’t automatically find the drivers, but whatever, probably a bug.
Vista Networking Woes!
ok so we all know that there are bugs in vista, but the most annoying one for me, is to do with networking, yeah they fixed a lot of network issues from xp, like making faster (at least i feel it is) anyways what annoys me is when vista adds numbers to the end of network names for no reason, which confuses a lot of things (See picture), and somtimes even thinks its connected to two networks at the same time and then the internet doesnt work when it thinks its connected to two networks, that happened to me with a wired connection. Please digg this so we can get someones attention at microsoft, i hope it does, please leave comments, i know you can merge and delete connections but that has no use because they keep coming back (Click The Image to get the full size)
Ps: all those network ssid’s are infact the same one, even the one im connected to, linksys6 wtf? I contacted Microsoft about this, and they said they can’t guarantee it will be addressed since only one person complains
I- PHONE availible in Egypt!
Ok in Egypt this is how marketing works, just use anything thats popular in hopes of attracting customers. I swear i’m not even joking, ive been on vacation here doing army exemption paper work, and i can’t stand it, every cell phone shop i see has fake ipod, etc. and all of them have to have a huge brand name on it(Sony, iPod and they even put both brands on at the same time, so you know its good when Sony and apple have collaborated!)

Concordia University OpenSearch Plugin (Created by Me, Ahmed Karam)
Hey everyone, I just got my new laptop and one of the first things i like to do is personalize Firefox (best internet browser) and as you all know i go to Concordia University In Montreal, Quebec. So I created an Open Search plugin for Firefox (ok fine it works on internet explorer 7 as well) which allows you to search the Concordia Site from within Firefox (or ie7) without opening the Concordia site. You can download it here
