Anyways, this post is not about if i like Marvi or not, it's about she having a blog - which is cool i think, and she asks for the opinions of the readers! I think it would be cool if other members of the parliament can follow suit and have a blog of their own - would prove useful in the end - as the blogosphere in a way connects the members of the parliament to the educated/intellectual lot of the society and as a result we can grow better ;)

I've been writing a lot about things not techy enough to have that balance between what I do most of the time and what I want to do most of the time. I often find it challenging to pass my third-rate programming skills to this blog and come up with things the search engines love.
For instance, the posts which I made regarding my OBJ Loader and other similar posts, I am able to get a lot of hits on them. People search for these things and they come over and find something useful. I, on the other hand prefer writing my own stuff which has far less significance to anyone else (if at all).
I've been in the middle of some really useful drafts that are related to software development. I'm thinking of thinking about coming up with more of such tech-filled curry so that my friends (or anyone) coming in from Google or other search engines are able to find what they're looking for.
After all, it feels so much better to help somebody than to type all the non-sense you have to fill your blog up. Plus, I'm so kinda occupied in other things that I usually want to spend most of my time in useful things. I personally think that I read blogs of other people more for availing something valuable than their personal "rants". Anyways, that's just a way to feel better for everybody, it depends on personal taste of what makes them feel better.
Have I not mentioned before that they're lovely! I had a nice few hours of evening time. Sarfoo and Noman came to me in the evening and we had a nice discussion. We plan to meet today at GoAish (yes! that ultimate adventure park :). I met Noman after so many days and it was a pleasure to see him. He is a potential judge in the TechElite programming competition to be held in NED so I have good chances of winning :P It's the very first time I am going to GoAish so let's hope for the best! ;)
Later on, me and Ali thought to have cold coffee so we met and had it. After that we went to Dolmen Mall and got stuck in traffic =S it was so painful that I better not speak up here. Anyways, we luckily found a good spot for Parking. Went in, then to Radio City, I got a couple of DVDs and then we headed to Liberty books. There I purchased Aisha Siddiqa's Military Inc. I had forgotten my debit card at home so I had to ask Ali to pay for the book and I'll pay him back the next time we meet.
Annywayz, ciao!
I just noticed I have become quite slow when it comes to blogging, I'm less frequent on coming up with posts. Maybe it's just me who feels like it or it its a fact, anyways, I think it's just that a few other things have caught more of my attention.
I went to Radio City yesterday with Sarfoo, bought 3 DVDs: American Gangster, Ratatouille (ra-ta-tui) and Shawshank Redemption. Seen just the ra-ta-tui so far, and enjoyed it thoroughly :) Pixar rocks!
Today will find time to watch another one of the remaining two. On the other hand, I am feelin lucky these days :) say mashaAllah you rude visitor :)
Looking at the title of my post, I recalled a really good song 'I'm alive' by Celine Dion, so I youtubed and found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pw4Nn99vlU .
Be happy!
Cheers,
Kami
Except for one thing: Youtube is not opening up :( and I am tired of watching all those previously downloaded videos. I'm not sure what's happening.
Other than that, I am having so much fun these days! We had an ammmazing story back in the old pavillion! Awrite, I'm into code words here so I better shut up :)
Its so much like as if the whole world is going through a while loop and I am an argument to some interesting function being called in that loop!
Internet TV is a cool thing. I am almost sure about the fact that one day, the TV sets at our homes will be useless as on demand iTV (yepp) will overtake the usual format for the current style the TV works. The computers will become much more convenient that housewives will begin to watch their favorite soaps on demand and that means no late chaye and dinner for ghar walas! :) Or daddy will be ready all the time to take the kids to the park as his favorite sports show can always be played back again later! If you're confused about what the heck I'm talking about, don't be, these ideas are based on something I am in touch with these days :P
Anyways, please please pray for my YouTube to be back soon!
I purchased a hosting account for my blog some time back (that was when I started this site). I purchased quite a big account as I had some good amount of money back then :P
It has 600 GB of storage along with unlimited domain hosting and 50 MySQL databases along with so many other goodies. I realized that perhaps I made the wrong choice for a simple site such as a blog, atleast I would not be needing to spend money to get me 600 GB!
I was wrong, since I bought that account, I am sort of into hosting and domain business now :D
Usually people around keep coming with questions like 'man where can I find a cheap host and a domain name service' or 'k bhai please buy a domain and hosting account for my company' and so on. I didn't have those people in my mind when I paid for my hosting account, but now I realize that I am really lucky to have people around me asking such questions, as I have a better answer for them this time :)
Now I have hosted a large list of domain names and provided hosting services for a good number of people on my current hosting account, and the profit has already crossed my initial expenses when I bought that domain and hosting for my sweet little blog.
So essentially I am hosting this site for free! :P or perhaps I should say I have earned it lol!
