Life

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.

Long time without posting anything.
I'm still alive and kicking!
But I spend like 10 hours at the office or so. I sleep at 4 am or so these days.
I don't reply to my emails as I used to, Sometimes it takes me 2 weeks to reply, This is SHIT!

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.

I woke up at 9 am, I had to run for breakfast, Guess what ? The breakfast ended at 10 or so!
I spent most of the day talking with other people, I took a damn cold shower but I had to, I was smelly!
Guess what I smoked ? Indonisian cigarettes, With cardamom and clove!

That's the lat day, I woke up and I can't remember when, I had my breakfast I realised that I was wearing my slippers when I was about to wash my plate. I had to take them off, wash my plate, And wear them again.

I woke up earlry today, at 8:15.
The breakfast was fine, Off to the tracks then!
Today we had a more hands on fonts and how to create them, More technical introduction on how to add your language to openoffice.
