A Happy Man
There’s a saying that the “shortest route to a man’s heart is through his stomach”. I can affirm that saying is true.
I’ve been married for a week and a day now, and I am a very happy man. Now, it’s true that food isn’t everything in life, and that love and understanding are very important for a couple to be happy, not to mention the need for spiritual routine and a good reliance on God’s help to keep the family happy… I’m ok with all that. But, I AM ESPECIALLY HAPPY because my beautiful wife has just discovered she could cook!
And when I say she could cook, I mean she really could cook.
So far, we’ve had some great dishes made by the soon to be world famous chef Paypouy Deeb. She started out with a great “Spaghetti and Frankfurters”, her own recipe! Wow, was the keyword on that one. “Potatoes and Chicken” in the oven was next, and it was great. She made one beautifully smelling Spaghetti (with an original tomato and basil sauce). And yesterday, I was surprised with an un-traditional Kebbeh Nayyieh - a veggy kebbeh nayyeh with potatoes instead of the meat. If it wasn’t yellow I could swear I was eating the traditional one, all was needed was some Arak and a chilled onion to make it complete…
Now, if you were a man, wouldn’t you be happy? I sure am 
Paypouy just added a couple of pics of her cake creations during the last week. Did I mention she made some peach jam too?!!
Golden Cage!
“And now, by the authority given to me by the … i pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride”
That’s how the ceremony ended, it was held by a very ‘cool’ (wazwaz) marriage comissioner, Elvis Prestley look-alike!!
It seemed that he was in a rush or had a date…. the whole thing took him only 5 minutes :S barely
We were relaxed, a bit emotional… but what triggered the thing was the USHER!!! :S euhh he was IN TEARS.. Literally…
He was nodding his head, looking at us… I confused him with my mom (who was standing next to him)… Inno are we related???
It was really weird, but fun.
The brother who took care of us here is a very nice person, a special character (oooooooooooops) yeah, Pablo, Pablos or Paulo… you can call him all that… He stayed with us almost all day and even invited us for lunch with his family. Who were all very nice as well.
We’re at “The Brewery” and will be heading … home? soon
D-Day!
Yeap. it starts in 9 minutes…

Daniel’s Personal Study
A couple of weeks ago in the Wt. study, one paragraph in particular captured my attention. The paragraph was talking about the prophet Daniel, who was still active and having a good bible study at the age of 90+
What captured my attention was this: the paragraph said there was indication (in what he wrote evidently) that he was studying parts of the bible we now know as Leviticus, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea and Amos! The paragraph then gives a (well known) example of Daniel quoting Jeremiah’s prophecy about the 70 years of captivity in Babel.
What I wanted to know is the rest of it, the other parts that Daniel was studying, and here’s what I found after some digging Article not complete!
Leviticus: We all know the famous stand that the 4 young friends took when taken to Babel. They refused to eat any foods that were forbidden by the law (Le 11:4, 13, 47; 17:12). A second look, however shows that Daniel was a true student of the law even at his old age. In his apologetic prayer noted in Daniel Chapter 9, he refers back to the Law several times as he confesses the errors made by the people of Israel.
(Daniel 9:13) . . .Just as it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity—it has come upon us, and we have not softened the face of Jehovah our God by turning back from our error and by showing insight into your trueness. . .
Isaiah:
*** kl chap. 2 p. 18 par. 17 ***
The fall of Babylon. Isaiah and Jeremiah both foretold Babylon’s fall to the Medes and the Persians. Remarkably, Isaiah’s prophecy about this event was recorded some 200 years before Babylon was conquered! The following aspects of prophecy are now matters of historical record: the drying up of the Euphrates River by diverting its waters to an artificial lake (Isaiah 44:27; Jeremiah 50:38); a careless lack of security at Babylon’s river gates (Isaiah 45:1); and the conquest by a ruler named Cyrus.—Isaiah 44:28.

PPPoE Trouble
For a couple of days the pppoe connection at my new appartment worked like a charm. After that poof! disappeared.
The connection would go up then down. On Windows, all is fine, so I figured it was a bug with the software… nope, re-installed, re-compiled, etc…
Anyway to cut the story short, I had to stop the DHCP client on the network interface connecting to the pppoe service. After that it was AOK. It doesn’t make sense really, but it worked
So if you’re using fastnetonline.com, and need help connecting, drop me a line, I might be able to help…
I also had to edit the default route manually to use the ppp0 device! looks like it’s something that needs to be fixed. I’m thinking of going back to gentoo!
Whassup
Plenty, No time to blog about it though!
I started this entry at my place yesterday night, right after I was able to connect to the internet using the local isp’s crappy PPPoE installation.
For some reason, they are using the Service Name directive as an added means of user management! I have one word to say about this: pfff! To get this to work, I first tried installing via apt-get on the laptop (running ubuntu feisty). But that didn’t work, or at least I couldn’t connect. Next, I tried getting some other software but there was nothing else. So I grabbed the source tarball, and there you are, two minutes later I was connected [(sudo) tkpppoe being the keyword.]
I am sleeping at my apartment these couple of days before the wedding. I like to get the feeling of the place before moving in: how much it takes to get to work (18mins leaving at 07:42!), how much sunlight I get in the morning in each room, where to get breakfast, the shower, etc…
What else, I started working remotely with some very nice people at RimuHosting. Not only are they really nice, they are truly very professional and very knowledgeable. I’m refining my Linux and hosting knowledge there. Moodeef is being re-worked as well, and I’m creating Flake file-service as a java/tomcat app. Hopefully it would be finished soon.
I’m not watching any movies or TV lately, I found the director’s cut (or studio cut) of David Lynch’s Dune (Frank Herbert’s) and I have it on my laptop, but I haven’t gotten to watching it yet!
I’d better get back to work now
