I was looking for some code samples when I stumbled on these videos. Microsoft has definitely too much money on their hands!

Wednesday in Lebanon

Posted on May 23rd, 2007 in War in Lebanon by abdallah

Just to prove me wrong, the people doing the bombings in Lebanon got outside Beirut for a change. Strike III hit in the town of Aley, 10 mins from Beirut in the mountains.
Any guess on where/when they’re hitting next? Anyone?

Monday in Lebanon

Posted on May 21st, 2007 in Blogging, Mood by abdallah

Should I make a new category for this blog? If so, what would it be: politics or bombings?
I was again at the house in Zouk today. People are still fighting the army in the north. Work as usual… And close to midnight, there you go, another bomb in the midst of Beirut city.
This time it was Verdun, another up-scale street in Beirut.
Both bombings targeted empty spaces. The only casualties are by “accident”, it seems like the bombers were trying not to target civilians. But they got a few anyhow.
I won’t go into more details, but I’ll simply note that this is night 2 of the bombings, hopefully the last.

Sunday in Lebanon

Posted on May 21st, 2007 in Blogging, Mood by abdallah

It’s quite an ordinary day: a few terrorists battling the army in the north, the army blocking highways reaching Beirut from the north, and a mesterious bombing after midnight. All in one Lebanese day.

Now someone tell me we’re not having fun!

I spent most of the day in Zouk, at my place. We even had visitors! I wish we took some pics though…

Anyway, I was checking the place where the bomb struck last night and found the most wonderous pic on Google earth. Check it out.

ABC & the monastary

Can you guess what the alien ship is? Yeap, that’s the ABC mall… cool eih?!

Tired

It’s been a while since I wrote anything on this blog. Things have been a bit hektik lately with all the stuff we’ve been buying for the house. Decisions about many many things I didn’t even know existed are taking a lot of time.

Meanwhile, Ogero Lebanon is offering DSL for the first time. We should get a connection at home (parent’s home) soon. It’ll be a 128/32Kbps (2G monthly limit) for 23USD/month. Hopefully, the prices will drop for the private ISPs, but I’m not really counting on it.

Paypouy bought me a bicycle as a present :) but we haven’t gone biking yet :(

My allergies are acting up. I’m very tired.

Delete Old Files (bash)

Posted on May 7th, 2007 in Coding, Work by abdallah

find /path/to/dir -mtime +15 -delete

It’s a quick and easy solution in Linux. The one liner above would delete all the files in /path/to/dir that are older than 15 days!

Unix is user-friendly. It’s just very selective about who its friends are
