Thanks Waleed for sharing the story. It has been a long time. Looking back at the old days of hacking software under the sanctions in Baghdad and how our small group was keeping the spirit high with all the sufferings and the lack of infrastructure, it was amazing. Every few months we used to get a photocopy of Byte magazine and/or CGW and circulate it among ourselves and then discuss and analyze every peace in it, that's was our source of energy. Also, I won't forgot when you learned Prolog and wrote a complete class scheduling software on paper when we were without electricity after the first gulf war.
