Avenues Fountain pictures…

|

Took these pictures after having Futour with “eLeeT” at “Johnny Rockets”… After the food, we walked to the fountain and he just backed off, started to mess around with his PSP and I had my time taking around 45 pictures…

What I could actually save was 8 pictures of the 45… And due to my poor Photography skills and equipments, things didn’t turn out well…

Here’s my pictures gallery (Here’s the Avenues Album), my Flickr page and Panoramio page…

And here’s my 8 pictures and I hope you like’em…

A year and almost 2 months…

|

I just checked my website invoices and realized that It has been a year and almost 2 months since I registered and started this website…

My first invoice was at July, 7th, 2007…

My website was a project I’m working on which is gathering all the Kuwaiti Geeks in one place so we could discuss and geek around… That target is so hard to reach since most of our geeks are independent and likes to act alone… yet I won’t give up yet… I’ll still work on it…

I honestly thought that I wouldn’t go this far this quick…

I thought that I’d get bored and stop working on it when it reaches 6 months old.

I never thought that I’d reach more than 1GB traffic in a month…

I never thought that I’d have a blog neither a picture gallery (which no one actually visits… Well, not much)… I actually started the gallery just to challenge my friend GTM that I wouldn’t need to open a Flickr account… Though I did, and kept updating my gallery…

I never thought I’d have people commenting and actually reading my blog…

I never thought I’d have people who actually visits my website and browse around…

I never thought a friend of mine would download my Annoying Sheep and screw things at his workspace =P…

I never thought I’d have great opportunities like the Dunkin’Donuts incident or expand my skills to learn few PHP skills…

Here’s the killer,
I never thought I’d make friends with people who once pass by my website (and now they frequently do)…

I’d like to thank god for letting\allowing me to experiencing this journey…
I’d like to thank my special friend who supported me from the beginning and still giving the endless support…
I’d like to thank Jamboura for her support, kindness, forgiveness and her amazing bakery skills =P…
I’d like to thank Palmhost for hosting this website and their amazing support they’ve been providing me (Even though alot of people would disagree about Palmhost’s quality, I just enjoy it and it kicks asses)…
I’d like to thank WordPress for providing their blog to everyone…
I’d like to thank Gallery 2 for providing one of the BEST picture gallery I’ve ran accross…
I’d like to thank SimpleMachineForums for providing their simple yet amazing forum…
I’d like to thank Lusummo for providing Vanilla forum and TheFileBrowser…
I’d like to thank Plogger for providing yet another great picture gallery…
I’d like to thank”eLeeT” for actually pushing some words and senses into me… I swear dude, if you weren’t around I would’ve gave up on many things…
I’d like to thank my friends Ace (Wrex), Fencer Darkwind, darkwolf80s, coolcrave, Black Arts Viper and RebelYell for registering in my forum… I know its dead like a stone but being there is more than enough…
I’d like to thank Abdallah for providing me great photography advices…
I’d like to thank GTM for providing me the stubborn spirit… If I followed everything you said dude (which is correct and right) I wouldn’t be enjoying life the stupid way and I mean it…
I’d like to thank Maya El-Moabi… If it wasn’t for you I would’ve lost a great place to chill in…

I’d like to thank Jason Kingrey for providing my previous website template…
I’d like to thank Asooma, atif, klash47, MADonps and Un533N for providing some (if not most) of my Engilazy pictures
I’d like to thank every single blogger who actually added me to their blogroll, commented in my blog or just passed by…
I’d like to thank all my friends for visiting my website and giving me remarks and notes about it…

And I’d like to thank you for reading this boring 666 words post…

Thanks everyone… It was a wild ride…

Without you all I wouldn’t be able to reach what I’ve reached… And With you all, I hope to reach somewhere further =D

Notice that this line is useless… I used it to make the post reaches 666 words =P AWESOME!!!!!!…

Sorry for not approving comments instantly

|

I’d like to apologize for not approving comments instantly… The thing is that I’ve installed Akismet and it actually does a great job preventing spam comments… But it holds most of the comments so I could revise’em and approve’em (which I always do regardless its positiveness or negativeness)…

But now, I’ve disabled it… I hope things would work better this time

Police minister resigns due to a dirty dance!!

|

I wonder what would happen if that occurred here in Kuwait =P

Since there’s no related picture to provided, I thought of using the picture above =P

Anyways, I ALWAYS hate Alcohol because of how it would turn someone into a complete idiot…

Australia’s most populous state Police Minister had to resign and quit police because he was listening to some Techno songs and had some drinks which led him to strip to his underwear (Now I started to have images of old man with his underwear… I feel sick) and doing dirty dances with a female colleague on the chest (More sickness and disturbance)

Imagine this happened here in Kuwait, would Vitamin “W” work? Or would the responsible personnel face strong or weak consequences?

The power is yours!!…
Sorry…
The choice is yours!!…

So what we’ve learned from this lesson kids?
DON’T DRINK WHILE LISTENING TO TECHNO… SPECIALLY TIESTO!!!! =P

Upgraded my Wordpress blog to 2.6.2

|

Done things with Automatic WordPress Upgrader Plug-In…

Things were as smooth as the traditional “Next, Next… Next” software installing button clicking… Cept for the beginning, permissions were annoying…

When I finished upgrading I went back to change the premissions to the proper settings and found out that the plug-in did the job… Interesting…

Add your Blog to my Blogroll…

|

Lately, I’ve been getting emails about linking websites to mine… And if it means anything, prolly they’re interested in the traffic i’m getting…

This month, I got:

As you can see, its the best record I’ve ever had…

So anyways… I thought of adding more blogs to my blogroll so who knows, maybe someone will get some clicks from visitors…

For those who are interested, please add a comment with your blog name (what do you want me to write) and your blog’s address…

Upgraded my WordPress blog to 2.6.1

|

Had to install this Automatic WordPress Upgrader plug-in to do the dirty job… Yet it kept annoying me for a while because it failed at turning the maintenance mode on…

http://ayudawordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/wordpress-logo.png

To fix it, I changed directories permissions to 777, cleared my FireFox cache and re-ran the plug-in again and worked like a charm… Then switched it back to its default permissions…

Hope this experience help others upgrading their blog without issues

The Annoying Sheep v1.0

|

I used to have this sheep program that wanders all over your desktop and locks some stuff so it wouldn’t be disabled easily… So I thought of resurrecting it…

AnnoyingSheep v1.0; A program that I wrote as a joke. It just moves to random spots in your screen locking your Task Manager and few other softwares… It’s clean and there’s no viruses in it or whatever… It just pisses you off…

Please leave some feedback… I’ll keep on running this sheep till he becomes an annoying pain in the ***
