My Internet Mess

Date April 2, 2009

We are all connected now aren’t we? Web 2.0.. the chaotic numbers of social websites.. there is no end to this madness. I do admit, I do enjoy connecting with people, and I have my fair number of social websites. I’m on Flickr and twitter, and Facebook. This is minimal compared to others who enjoy [...]

Unmotivated

Date March 4, 2009

I am human you know. I believe there was a group of people out there who thought I was an alien, I assure you, I am an earthling. Now on to more pressing matters. Seriously. This is the type of day I hate the most. I wake up early, after a good sleep, and I’m [...]

Watani Online Nuisance

Date August 27, 2008

My password expired. I haven’t logged in for a while (a couple of months) and my password expired. Of every institute that I have ever dealt with, in Kuwait and internationally never has there ever been an expiry on my password! For those who don’t know, Watani Online, is NBK (National Bank of Kuwait) Online [...]

"We are a pessimist society"

Date June 26, 2008

There isn’t a day that goes by without complaining, anyone and everyone is complaining. Forgive me, for I will begin complaining, but probably for the last time this week, for the time being at least. We (in Kuwait) have become experts at discovering flaws. We complain about complaining, and we complain about those who complain. [...]

Ridiculous Spam

Date May 28, 2008

We all get spam, if you don’t, don’t worry your time will come soon and you will enjoy the wonders of either reading it, or deleting it. Recently I have noticed that spam has gotten extremely sophisticated or terribly ridiculous. Siber writes in and says, “Please, do not delete the given message. Money obtained from [...]

Law: A Matter of Inconvenience

Date April 15, 2008

In Kuwait we are used to this concept: we break the law whenever we feel like it. If we get caught we mostly try to talk our way out of it, or get in contact with certain individuals who help us get out of the trouble we got into. Breaking the law has easily become [...]

Photocopied: Your Life

Date March 16, 2008

So what’s the problem? You go into an institute or something along those lines to get a service or buy something. Usually you’re already part of this institute because you have an account with them, or, they are part of the government. Naturally they would ask for (a) document(s), and you would kindly and happily [...]

I need a Macbook Pro

Date March 3, 2008

Some of you may have seen the latest changes to the MacBook Pro. Since I have the older PPC PowerBook it seems only natural for me to update my laptop, add to that the constant nagging from some people I know *cough* Bojacob *cough* MJKout *cough*cough* G *cough*… excuse me.. seems like I caught something. [...]

Bathroom Invasion

Date December 5, 2007

Warning: Crude content ahead. What does it take a person to have his privacy. The bathroom at work has a window that overlooks souq sharq. There are no curtains or shutters up on the 7th floor, why should there be? I had just finished cleaning up when I hear a strange whirring sound. I didn’t [...]

A Fly Incident

Date October 28, 2007

Before I talk about the evil fly, I just want to say that I was away for the weekend, enjoying the sun and warm weather. It was beautiful. If a fly comes next to me again, I wont kill it, no. I’ll just wound it, so it can tell its little fly friends how dangerous [...]
