Favicons On My Blog 2007-09-01 01:46:00 At last, got rid of that ugly B and put my countrys flag. Looks good, eh?
The problem was actually getting someone to host .ico files. No normal image hosting would allow me to host .ico files, because practically - they aren't really images.
After hours of searching, I finally found Ripway, which would host any type of file. I then had to turn my png into a ico file, so I went to this good

According to Jordan Times, ATV and the Audiovisual Commission are having problems, and ATV is going to result to legal matters (scary stuff). I hope ATV will open up quickly, since this really is the Jordanian curse all business's in Jordan are suffering from. I have to say that our country isn't really

'Fake' Kidnapping 2007-08-25 08:24:00 Brazil's kidnap phone con
In Brazil, criminal gangs frequently phone victims with fake abduction claims about their loved ones and trick them into handing over cash. As the BBC's Gary Duffy reports from Sao Paulo, being on the receiving end can be a frightening experience.
It was clear that someone was trying to make us a victim of the kind of virtual kidnapping that is one of the more sinister
Laily Nhaary 2007-08-25 01:35:00 The same ringtone becomes the craze, hearing it from the bathroom to the grave - and even from the beggers mobile (my favourite). A great video from Emad Hajjaj.

Download Ikbis Videos 2007-08-23 16:38:00 I have been busy in my lab, adding H2O to C6H12O6, forming huge explosions and trying again. At last, I have found it - a way to easily download videos from Ikbis.
You'd see that many extensions will work on popular sites for video download, like YouTube. Ikbis however, won't. It seems it isn't as popular as the other sites and no extension has bothered to add it. Do not fear, this is quite easy Read more:Download

Makezine On Youtube 2007-08-23 08:21:00 Now, if only I was in America, I would definitely buy the Make Magazine. It talks about making unusual stuff at home, or your "garage" as they say on the site. Everything from small robots to jet engines have their own home on Make, as they give you step by step instructions on how you can make each one inside the magazine.

Ikbis, an arab's Youtube 2007-08-19 06:52:00 Ikbis (إكبس), is a word in arabic meaning "click". Now, it's a video portal, an arab's equivilant of Youtube. Ikbis is surprisingly popular, with quite alot of videos, and not all of them are arabic. Ikbis was released in 20 November 2005, and is running and gaining new people and videos everyday. What did you expect from the first video sharing website in the Arab World?

Back To Prison 2007-08-19 05:56:00 Yes, school has started again. How I hate school, the worst invention on earth. Why, oh why, do we have to go to school. Grr...
So now I only had a few mere 2 months to enjoy, from 13/06/07 to 19/08/07. The summer was good, even though I had wanted to go to London, but I still had a good time. Went to quite a few restaurants, my cousin came to visit from London, played games (as usual)... Now Read more:Prison
A Change Of Blogs 2007-08-18 06:04:00 Now you may be wondering what this new blog is about. I hated the first one, it was somehow meant to be about programming, and fitting in personal stuff was somehow wierd. Therefore I've made this one, a personal one about me, me and me.
In a nutshell, this is a new blog. I hope it will grow, since this one will be easier to add posts to. Read more:Blogs

A Bit Too Enviromentaly Friendly? 2007-09-19 09:11:00 A family in Manhattan, US has left the 21st century in order to save the planet. This means no lights, no fridges, no TV, no air condition. The bathroom has no toilet paper, no toiletries, no shampoos. In this dim house, you would wonder how any life would be going on. But a man, his wife and his daughter are taking part too.Colin Beavan, 43, aims for a better world by reducing the bad stuff he uses. His dining table is lit by candles, not lights. His radio, which is solar powered, is his only way to hear the news of the world. A combination of vegetable oil, baking soda, vinegar and borax results in the families toothpaste, detergent and body soap.Everything he does was in small steps, he says. His first step was to reduce their family's rubbish. They bought second hand stuff and took a hamper to the supermarket instead of using plastic bags. Colin uses a glass jar he found in his trash as a reusable cup to drink his coffee in, instead of taking the plastic cups from shops.They also Read more:Friendly
I Would Like To Thank 2007-09-18 07:01:00 Ramadan is killing me, especially taraweeh. Therefore I would like to thank a few people:I would like to thank the Imam of our mosque. This man has amnesia every five minutes, in the middle of the prayer, and he will never get himself a quran. He makes each rukah extra long, and starts making every witar in a new way, once all three together and once two and three and once each one by itself. He can't make up his mind. And his duaa2 is like the haram's duaa2, your hands are numb by the end.I would also like to thank the person who made the mosque, especially the one who designed the toilets. Why, oh why, has the mosque never heard of normal toilets, and has to have those "holes in the ground". I wonder if Arabic toilets where made to think people where still in the 19th century. They could've made a hole in the ground and it'd be better than those damn toilets. Plus people don't know how to use the flusher, so you have melted snickers in every toilet waiting for you (sorry if you Read more:Thank

Out Of The Battlefield 2007-09-14 01:09:00 And back in. Fasting is hard, especially when you have to do it in summer. The day is hot and fasting is much longer. Even though schools and work places have shortened our time of torture, we still have to fast in hell for six hours. Sleeping to pass time is not an option for me, as my body refuses to sleep during day time whatsoever, unless it's sick. Instead I either torture others in God of War II, build big armies against the computer in C&C Generals, or watch something on MBC Action.Fasting makes a person angry, tired and frustrated. I always pass the fridge, open it and see the apple juice, take it out and get a cup, then I remember I am fasting so I get really angry. I get even more angry when I find out there still is a painful 4 hours or so to the end of war.Just about everyone in Jordan gets angry when they're fasting. Those who smoke get angry, those old people get angry, taxi drivers get angry. The excuse of "ana sayim" is a one used alot to leave an argument, or "ha
A Change Of Colour 2007-09-12 11:20:00 Or template, that is. I've change my template to a much wider one. The older one limited my images to a mere 375 px. So that took away everything called Mahjoob Cartoons.You probably can't see this new one, you're seeing the old one. You'll have to clear your cache, if you're using Firefox just press Control + Refresh (Reload). And if you're using Internet Explorer, see this.Hopefully this new template will let me add a lot more stuff, like wider images. Leave your thoughts as comments. =)
