Shoura Interview...

Aslalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

Today, I had my first "physical" interview.. I went to 7aday2 al Ma3ady to have my interview at Shoura's company..

My meeting was supposed to be at 9:00pm, actually I didn't go there before so I went something early -actually I realized that it was so early- I went there about 7:37pm ::.. anyway.. I spent some time figuring out where is their building, then i went to pray... after some time -before the prayer starts- Mustafa (my friend) & Sherif (the CEO) entered the mosque to pray... I welcomed them ;)...

The 3 of us then went upstairs, Mustafa went to a different room cuz it was my time to have the interview..

Sherif started by explaining how much he "doesn't" know game development :S... then gave me a trivial question in a non trivial way.. Given an object with mass m and under the gravity g, we have a ground at a certain height, the question is "when will this object reach the ground?" I replied with some phsycis to calculate after how many time frames will the object reaches the ground... I felt that this was not the answer he's waiting for, so I replied trivially "when the two heights have a small acceptable difference" he said "yes that's it.. so simple huh !!"

Next question was somehow interesting, we have a company with some branches, each branch sells the same products as every other branch, every branch should have complete knowledge about every other branch..
I gave him some solution that i'm so tired now to explain :) ... but he liked them.. although he gave me a smarter idea -in my opinion at last-..

e7l the interview went well.. actually, I can't call it an interview... anyway.. e7l :)

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele

Visual Studio 2008 Not saving changes or project properties?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh (Peace upon you) I’ve recently ran into problems with VS 2008. Summarized here: When you try to edit the project properties (specially C++ projects) you are faced with a little nice message saying “Exception from HRESULT: 0xF9F0F308”. Sometimes when you are editing a file (specially large ones), VS doesn’t recognize you’ve made changes (ie doesn’t display that ‘*’ in the files tabs) hence, when you save, nothing actually gets saved. For those 2 problems, a friend explained the problem and a work around (till they officially release a fix)… Open up a Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt Run cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE" Make a backup copy of devenv.exe in case something does not work right. ie. copy devenv.exe devenv.exe.bak Run editbin /largeaddressaware:no devenv.exe Happy VSing… :)
