And the conference is over and took with it everything nice and sweet. It also took the days without enough night sleep.
It gave me friends, More self confidence.
It took one thing that I've been crying on for the last day and night. Also today in the morning.

Today I'll give a 20 minutes short presentation on the State of Arabic FLOSS desktop in the conference
I prepared yesterday te presentation using openoffice impress and it gave me a hard time when it inserted a sound during slide transition.

So, Finally I was able to get my PCI wifi card running under Linux.
I've bought it weeks ago, Whatever I do the box keeps freezing when I bring up the interface.
ndiswrapper is freezing at random points, And finally when I was able to use the GPL'ed driver, I didn't get a connection.

I tried with 6 kernels or so.
I decided to get an old P2 or so and try and yes! IT WORKED.
The damn CNET CWP-854 worked under Linux with the rt2500 driver.
Now I'm enjoying wireless at home with my GNU/Linux semi-access point.

This should've been posted a week ago or so, But it took me a week to have my brain up and running again!.

The flight has been announced, To the plane, I was searching for my seat, I was surprised tha someone is sitting there, I asked whether this is 45A, They told me no, It's on the other side "though the airhostess told me it's on the side I'm in" So I decided to go to the otherside and aee, It was 45H.

I didn't charge my laptop much as I was sitting in Mumbai airport and one of the people there was shocked when he knew that i'm flying to bahrain, I don't know why as there are 40 minutes left, Anyway I had to go to the plane.

I don't know why the people at the domestic airport must see your boarding after the plane land and you enter the airport!
I left the domestic airport and went to the international one. After searching for Gate 1 which was the last gate, I passed by some guy who tried to convenes me to spend the night in the hotel, And that he'll arrange the transportation for me and that it's free, I insisted on NO without giving him a clear answer

So here we are, The first thing noticed the ammount of police men beside the door of the plane, 2 or 3. It's either these guys are really paranoid or they suffer from something!
Anyway, No airhostess with sary till now. That's not a god sign.
