The Chances

Sunday, May 30th, 2004

Being new in the business field of Linux services and products, I can’t pretend that I am a know-it-all person. But in such a short time it started to be very obvious that Linux does have a very good future in the middle east, and in Saudi Arabia in particular. Reasons are already known to […]

Gal weekend gal

Saturday, May 29th, 2004

Well, although everyone, including my boss, told me not to come to work in the weekend, I could not prevent myself. I guess I am turning to a workoholic, afterall I am trying to catch up all the work I missed last year :)
I went today to Al-Rashed mall in Khobar. I can tell you, […]

Challanges

Sunday, May 23rd, 2004

I started to enjoy myself, yesterday I drove to khobar, which is about 20 minutes drive away, a totally different city than the one I am in. With only one U-Tern, I was able to reach there almost directly. I had plans to get myself some cloths, but because I met yousef a little late, […]

I was scared when I first […]

Even longer

Wednesday, May 19th, 2004

Well, After spending sometime in the airplane, and waiting in the airport for someone I never met, I think that today was longer. I forgot how boringit is to fly alone. What is even more boring is that the 6 seats row that I was in in the airplane was empty, yes I was alone […]

Looooong Day

Wednesday, May 19th, 2004

It had been a long day, it is 1 AM now, I am still packing, almost done. Today had been a long day, visiting many people, doing many things, and having the long process of packing.
Probably the best part of the day was the evening, where Anan, Abu El-Jalajel, Fadi Bio, and Khaldoon came, and […]

Having to use Nokia

Sunday, May 16th, 2004

AH bought me a Nokia 6108 mobile phone. Looking at the phone features and so, it seems to be fine:

But, the problem is that, I REALLY DON’T LIKE NOKIA PHONES… maybe this is part of my refusal to the most common. After all I use Linux, and don’t like to use Windows, and my mobile […]

My bags are packed

Sunday, May 16th, 2004

Probably because I had been waiting for this for a long time, […]
