Booked my tickets (Summer 2009) :-)

Submitted by msameer on Sat, 16/05/2009 - 9:04pm

To Cairo and beyond (-:

Too bad I'll transit for one hour in Charles De Gaulle again. I'd rather be prepared to lose my bags :-)

And did I say from 10.07.09 to 09.08.09 ?


Oh shit! On tax!

Submitted by msameer on Tue, 13/01/2009 - 11:38pm

Oh shit!

I have a bill from the tax office since May 2008.

It was due last December and I never knew I had to pay anything.

Now I have to pay it plus the interest rate!

It's not much but ... :-(


Have you ever forgotten to have breakfast ?

This is an example of a clueless and non-informative blog entry. Please feel free to skip it.

Years ago when we were young at school, teachers used to ask as:
* Did you forget to eat ?


Booked my flight to Cairo...

Submitted by msameer on Tue, 01/07/2008 - 11:01pm

03.10.08:
Helsinki (08:00) to Vienna (09:40)
Vienna (10:35) to Cairo (14:10)

02.11.08:
Cairo (10:50) to Vienna (13:40)

Yes, 6 hours of transit...

And blame Ezabi for convincing me to fly EgyptAir from Cairo to Vienna!


My first experience with the Finnish police officers

Submitted by msameer on Wed, 25/06/2008 - 10:42am

Sitting down ignoring anything but the phone call and by accident raised my head

Me (After noticing the sign from the guy): Give me a second, there're police officers here
Phone: OK
Police officer: Do you speak English ?
Me (a bit frightened to the police guy): Yes, but can I end this call please ?
Police: Yes but quickly
Me: I have to go now, seems there's something important. Will call you later
Police (After ending the call): Do you have an ID ?
Me: Yes (And showed him my Finnish ID)
Police: Where do you live ?
Me: In that street, I can show you.
Police: We don't go there, just tell us
Me: In this street, number 12. The 2nd door.
Police: People have been complaining that you are speaking in a loud voice at night when it's late.

No connectivity.

Submitted by msameer on Tue, 10/07/2007 - 5:17pm

No connectivity since Friday evening. I took all the precautions to ensure my connection will be working in the new place but it seems I'll have to wait until Thursday.

No email or anything. Even worse, I have a FTBFS bug that needs fixing.

Why are all the hotspots I find encrypted ? ;-)

Update: mbar has a free wifi connection but they allow only http and ssh. The more I use ssh tunneling, the more I love ssh and the more I feel proud of FOSS! ;-)

Update2: I'm back online. Just as I thought. I was using the radio outlet which was labeled TV incorrectly!


Finland is ...

Submitted by msameer on Mon, 02/07/2007 - 8:31pm

Strong sun, dark clouds, blue clear sky, thunder, lightning, green areas. All together at the same time.


Got the keys!

Got the keys for my new apartment in Helsinki... :-)
