Took a week long break to be with the family…now back with more posts and reviews. Ramadan Kareem to all…

Have been guzzling down liters of lemonade and water last couple of days. My family swore that they saw steam shooting off my head the other [...]

Just got my new Mac Pro delivered and setup…which sort of completes the Holy Trinity…Linux [laptop], XP Pro [workstation], and Mac Pro [workstation]. Got Adobe CS3 Premium [Middle East version] with Final Cut Studio as well. Here are the specs…as for the cost, I cant answer that as this is a corporate [...]
This weekend I decided to boycott Internet completely. This was not in protest of anything or anyone in particular, but just a self-benefit exercise. There are times when you want to disconnect yourself completely from all bounds, and especially for someone like me who spends nearly 15-16 hours a day in front of the dumb [...]
My United Networks trial connection has expired, and now its time to hunt for a new DSL connection. QualityNets’ new double bandwidth at lowered price seems an excellent option. But a change of provider would require me to sort out atleast 3 new forms from jumper removal to MOC clearance. And then there is a [...]
Finally got time yesterday to drop my Nokia N82 at the i2 service center. i2 service center is located in the Khalijia building in Sharq [ask anyone for infocenter , DHL, Pizza Hut building behind Courtyard Marriott]. The customer rep took in the details and handed me back the battery,back cover, and the memory card. [...]
The GM office of NBK just called in to update me on the issue of NBK card fiasco. NBK management was notified of the case and they reviewed the whole thing. NBK management accepted the facts that were raised, and has apologized for the episode. Also NBK has re-instated my card limits. Although the mini-card [...]
UPDATES: NBK has responded to the below issue [LINK]Â
Just got an email from a service provider that a monthly transaction has been declined. I tried manually on the site and it was surely declined. So I call up NBK to inquire about this. And guess what?! NBK decided to do three things in ONE WEEK:

I have recently been promoted to 30 something club. Call it God’s will or Nature’s cycleomania. I feel blessed. Not many people achieve this but I am here healthy, happy and moving ahead. Thanks Allah, God, Christ, Bhagwan….
Are you one of my club-mates? If you are then you may understand some of what is coming [...]
Time 6:45am, activity scramming for work, took wallet; check,took specs; check, took mobile; check,took laptop; check…….wham. The laptop on chair, the strap of laptop bag around the chair, and in a hurry to rush out, the chair followed the laptop, and wham bam thank you ‘toe’, the stupid chair trips over and slams straight on [...]
Has to be the worst week of the year so far. Had project deadlines this week and all my workload is shared between laptop and mobile and I have to be mobile for projects so I need them both. Now last year in September I bought HP DV6600 from Alghanim and this month I bought [...]

Well this is how I was introduced to Tayseer 3 years back. Fast forward 3 years..yesterday we met at an event, and I saw him sporting a fancy SLR camera, and being a [...]
