Your screen-name....Leh?




Many people chose interesting names, or numbers, to represent themselves here, so why don't you share why you chose it, or its significance to you...as a way of learning more about one another, and ... to liven up the village a bit.

Those who picked their own names or chose a name that is a derivative of the word "masry" or "Egyptian" (80% of the village members, lol) can still join the thread for moral support :)

I would not recommend SS#, you do not want insiders managing the servers that you access with these passwors knowing your SS#, and especially if it is with entities that email your passwords. You do not want your SS# floating around -:- . Same applies for DL#, and birthday. Use something that relates to you but not an official identity, and is not easy to figure out.

Thanks Ahmed, yeah, it's certainly a good idea to watch for identity theft. Properly-designed systems just give you a link in order for you to change the password (they never show you the old one) after verifying your information with another key (secret question.)

Another thing to do is to choose one or two short passwords (~6 characters) with uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers, then add a letter or two as a prefix, postfix or infex that relates to each website. Your password will be easy to remember, different on each website and only you will know the rule for the variations.

Masrawaya, not a good idea to have them send you the password via email. You should worry about identity theft ); chose a password that relates to you so you can remember it and then you can add numbers that are significant to you.

it is silk like cloth that was mentioned in Quran as a reward in paradise. It was mentioned in three verses:
1- Surat Al Kahf verse 31:

For them will be Gardens of Eternity; beneath them rivers will flow; they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade; they will recline therein on raised thrones. How good the recompense! How beautiful a couch to recline on!

2- Surat Al Dokhan verse 53:

Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other

3- Surat Al Insan verse 21:

Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine pure and Holy

May Allah grant us an eternal life in paradise so we can all enjoy Sondos :)

Hzma, I have the same problem right now. I used to always have the same user name and password for everything, but then alot of different accounts wont let you just have letters for a password, so you need to add numbers, or it can't contain your name, etc..., they are too damn picky. So now I keep getting confused and have to go through the process of getting them to email me my password!! it definetly doesnt help that i have THE worse short term memmory.

You are absolutely right. We can't stay tuned in a specific topic, and keeping switching from one to another :)
However, it's interesting to have some activity on the village and to hear from some egyptians out there
As for me, it's obvious, my nickname is just my first name, middle initial and last name. I chose that to keep it synchronized among all emails hotmail, yahoo, ... to not get confused :)

Thanks for the clarifications about eltagamo3 el khames..I hear it's very nice..

We should change the topic's name from screen-names to street names (A)

I'm just kidding...what's being Egyptian without digressions );

You're right, the names are too similar and had us confused. The root word means "to chop", so one is the "chopper" and the other "the chopped off"

I think it's in (or includes or close to) el Qattameyyah, not Muqattam.

>its an attempt to move out of the city to suburbia (if
>that's possible with Egypt's population!

Hoda, why do you say if it's possible? I think it's essential that we become more decentralized.

I think Al Qahira El Gedida is the extension of Cairo between "tareek el sewis and Tareek el Ismailia, and it probably include part of Muqatam. They are all linked via the beltway (el tareek el da'ery) But it is definitely a good place for living if you are used to the suburbs life in the U.S.

Masreya, let me see.. so I guess u were living in Al Qahira El Gedida, then moved to Mail to Fiji, and probably ending somewhere in the U.S... You are a true World Traveler ); so how did u find life there :) ?

I thought elqahera el gedeeda was in the "moqatam"...
no?
 
Login to find out (January 31, 2006 at 2:22am)
Al Kahera el Gedida is different from Masr El Gedida, it is the expanison of Cairo East, el tagamu3 el khames and other close by areas are part of el-kahera el gedeeda.

do you mean there is a place called "al kahera el gededaa" ? or massr el gededaa?
