I wasn’t able to blog or access the internet much while I was in Tunis, so I will start in the next days blogging about the event, and the last days.
As soon as I was in the ICT4ALL Exhibition, I started to look for the societies and people I know. I met Ethan who introduced […]
OK, I got the Visa to Tunis this morning, got the brochure printouts for Wikimedia yesterday, packing my bags now, leaving in 4 hours to the airport. I really look forward for the event, and Tunis, I had been following some very interesting discussion about the event in the Global Voices mailing list. I will […]
Today when I passed around 2pm in front of the 3rd circle I saw a stage being set up. After 2 hours, I got a call from a friend telling me that Rum is performing at the 3rd circle. Minutes later I was there. It was a performance by Rum, Amer Al-Khaffash, Osama Jabour, and […]
A comment that I heard the most in the first hours of the event, is that “It couldn’t be a Jordanian who did this”, I even heard it from officials. Well I disagree … I think it could have been Jordanians. The sick brain-washed people are among us, and had been bombing themselves in Iraq […]
I’ve never been in one, and I hope that I won’t have to be in one again. In front of the Radisson SAS and Hyatt people gathered for candle litting. It was emotional, stronger than shouts and words.

Shortly after Fastlink started their blog service for fastlink subscribers (which I am not one of), […]
I’ve been trying hard for the last 2-3 weeks to hold Hotel reservations in Tunis for the WSIS 2005. It seems that either the event is taking all hotel rooms in Tunis, or we have very lame travel agents in Amman. I hope that now that Ramadan is over, and companies are back to “Normal” […]
As part of my routine everyday, I woke up a couple of days ago, started to read the newspaper, to find a very unexpected feature of Jordan Planet in Al-Ghad newspaper. It was in my preferred bi-monthly Technology supplement, in the “Your Internet Guide” pages. JP was the first of a list of 6 internet […]
