I miss Traditional Life !
Yesterday I was working on a router in Chicago. I was configuring it to pass calls to another router in Vietnam, there was a disconnect issue that made me crazy. I spent 14 hours on this configuration. Can you believe it? I was just like sitting on my seat behind my Laptop and spending 14 hours nonstop while I have around 40 degree fever. Yeah, there we go. Here is crazy IT industry. When I was in Iran, I was thinking about being a Nerd!! . Now after one year and half , I would rather be a typist than an IT professional. The problem is when you are at the edge, usually no one can help you, probably because this is the first time that this device is testing in such a this condition. If you call technical support they will easily say they are interested to see the reason and will ask you if you find it please let us know. Anyway, in the 21st century still there are Happy people that they don’t have internet cable at their home. They have no idea about IT and they will not check their e-mails every 3 minutes. They should know the real meaning of happiness.

Ali & Linda a nice and true story !
Last week I watched a nice movie in HotDocs Festival . Here is the information:
Linda & Ali, Two Worlds within Four Walls(Belgium, 2005, 93 min)
Directors: Lut Vandekeybus
Short Story : Linda and Ali are a somewhat unusual couple. Twenty years ago, Ali, a Muslim Qatari, was attending university in Arizona.
There he met Linda, an American who had converted from Catholicism to Islam while in her teens. They fell in love, married and moved to Doha, Qatar to raise their family in the Islamic tradition. Seven children later, Linda and Ali have established a routine but one that’s not entirely satisfactory to either one of them. The filmmaker spent a period of two years in their home - beginning just prior to the invasion of Iraq - intimately documenting their daily lives. The clashes of their household are sometimes caused by cultural differences between East and West, sometimes by differences between man and woman. The conflict comes to a head when Linda’s mother is hospitalized and she must return to the U.S. Can Linda and Ali’s love for each other and their children bridge their two disparate worlds?

Disciplinarian
Being so sick, I did not get any chance to write. Sometimes your soul will be punished and your body will pay for it. I did something wrong to my friend and now it’s my punishment. Please forgive me ……..

Crazy weather in Toronto !
Who can understand bad weather, more than Torontonians!!! This is almost end of spring and it’s cold here. A friend of mine decides to leave this country just because of this crazy weather. I ought to go with her. I have my fingers crossed to see warm weather.
Business @ the speed of thought
In compare with life in Iran , here we are always at the edge. The speed of whatever we are doing is multiplying by the speed of thought. These days, I’m reading a book titled as “business at the speed of thought” ,written by Bill gates. Now I can understand what it means.
Two major arguments that have reasonable effect on foreseeable future are “Information Technology” and “Information Management”. Former is changing the way that we do the business while the latter is changing the way that we gather, Process and publish information. Everyone who involved with this revolution is working at the speed of though. Immediately after
Analyzes ,we should focus on the executable ways that will address human’s needs. Unexceptionally, next step is execution, which is the most important part. What I understand from
Living in north America is that nothing is completed till get executed.

Why Weblog Again ? do you remember Solivan ?!
Hi. There we go !!!!.Finally I restart to writing on this cybernetic world. I have been writing for 4 years on BBS's. For those that they know BBS , Solivan is a known name. Yeah ! You are right . This is Salman. I'm Persian but I’m living in Canada now. It’s almost one year and half that I'm in Toronto. I'm writing this web log to broadcast my personal ideas and describe the way that I'm living. In compare with Persia, here we are living in different circumstances. I have been in Paris and I know the European life style. I have been in Dubai too.
I want to say that living in North America is totally different from any kind of life that I have seen before.
I will clarify my personal Ideas in this web log. Sometimes I may write something which will not be matched with your ideas. That's one of web log's features. also I may paste some quotes and poems from other authors. I like archiving and it helps me to gather nice information together.
Talk to you soon.
