    Confusion
    I don’t know but it seems like a good change happening, and I m a little happy about it too. I write crap I know, but I still like to read some good stuff, lately I’ve been visiting Teabreak more and more to read, yes read. I did have some sort of confusion, but then, one doesn’t need to be confused once it’s rolling good.

    Then I m caught up with some work, both from the office and freelance, and I m getting less time to focus on the freelance, which is bad, but then we have week ends for that, and I m hoping to wrap it up nicely in a gifted manner before the week ends.

    I m also going a little easy on some things I should not be, some of this stuff includes my current work, and the reason I’d say for going easy is to make it as smooth as possible, while staying relaxed, because I know I’ll pull it off before the time ends.

    Zair dude is also getting people involved into blogging, he recently got another blogger ‘Aychaa‘, which is good, you know I m into blogging, and I do make efforts to get more people involved too.

    Of late, I’ve started wondering about my new job, how is it going to be, how’s the new expereicne going to be? will I enjoy it, will I hate it.. what not.. hell, it’s not yet time.

    I’ve also recently discovered Cuil. If all goes well, it could make for a decent competetor for Google search, only if all goes well. I really like it’s GUI. I m also planning on learning alot of new stuff including PHP, some of the seniors here at work had started some classes on that, sadly, these classes have stopped for some reasons I m not allowed to write here, even though this is my space..

    I would like to write more now, but then whose gonna do my work..

    I wish I was much better that day.. oh yesterday I mean…

    I was supposed to be there early, and sadly I turned out to be the one who entered last from the whole team.. :(

    Why you may ask.. damn I wasn’t well, vomiting all around, with my face stuck deep inside the commode ! ok, not that deep inside :P

    Any how, when I reached Copper Kettle II, where the event had been organized the folks had already started, since alot of people had already come, and they couldn’t wait for me.. sob sob :P When I had arrived, the debate and the topic of focus were the blogging ethics, which honestly very few people follow, right now only a handful of bloggers practice such thing, the others just scribble what ever pleases them, which may work fine for them, but for others it might be something offending.

    Since everyone was right there during this time, and we expected no more people, we though it would be best if all the bloggers could introduce themselves,and tell about what they write about on their blogs and what would they love to see happening on the blogosphere in Pakistan, this I believe was a nice thing to do… I said very little though.. I was sick remember :P

    Everyone was asked to grab some food, you know everyone gets hungry :P so food it was, and for me, just a drink and an ice cream.. couldn’t take anything heavy, and didn’t feel like eating anything either, I’m still on soup. damn !

    We all sat down again, talked about things we do other than blogging, about our work and businesses, about technology, music, anything that would fancy either one. For me, this was the only thing I talked about, I wasn’t myself yesterday, due to the face, again, that I wasn’t feeling well..

    I hope to write more about the event, gotta get my soup now.

    I m here writing, just a couple of hours after I finally got the courage to say bye bye to my current so awesome job, to join another company for a different experience. As per the policy of this current so damn awesome company I will have to serve yet another month, before I can join the other company.

    My new destination will be Trippert Labs, if all goes well, I should be joining it in a month’s time, though I was supposed to join in like 15 days time, but sadly that period has been made into a month.. :S

    Any how, I m hoping the ride is going to be funfilled. I’ve already text-spoken to the HR, and the CTO, and they seem pretty nice people. :)

    I know one thing for sure, I m going to miss this place as hell, I seem to have grown with this place, developed and polished myself a lot here. Fallen in love with the entire crew. Raised my standards, and learned alot or principals. Yes thats a good thing, progress is good.

    So what now, right ? Well, thinking what to do, right now I haven’t spoken to my family about the resignation, it’s going to be a little bit of shock, but they’ll adjust, though my mom knows about this, almost nothing is hidden from here, but even she wouldn’t be expecting that I’d resign so soon.

    Right now I m looking forward for good wishes, and a better carrier/future. Hope I get that. :D

    On the other hand, we have a Teabreak meet up this Sunday, and we even have a Convention of the Creatives on the same day, lets see what happens, the Teabreak event is for bloggers and select folks only, where as the Convention is for everyone. A handful of people will be joining us on the launching event of TeaBreak. I hope it goes around good too… Right now I’ll head out of office with Zair to meet Ammar and Asim to discuss the whole event thing.

    Prayers… Love you all.

    I follow some good number of folks on flickr, and some of these people are truely gifted, as in super gifted. I’d like to show the images from some of these folks today. These are marvellous, and fairly recent.

    First, these folks dont allow their pics to be embeded, so I followed the rules, and just linked to them.

    Suhanay Din by Fursid, Bright Shiny days by Fursid, Bhambore by Ameer Hamza, Lunch Break by Abbas Reloaded, Shah Jahan mosque by Flames of Aries, Yasir by Bilal. K, IMG_0101 by smrafiq.

    These on the other hand, allow their pics to be embeded.

    The new version of Wordpress you know includes the Google gears implementation, in case you folks did not know that, this is one big help, no kidding..

    Your writing and managing the blog becomes much more easier, not to mention effecient.

    The link at the top right of the admin page in Wordpress, which says ‘Turbo’ is what enables this option. You will need to download and install Google Gears, which is available for Firefox as well as Internet explorer. sweet..

    The new other impressive feature is the Pressthis link. Which is much more sophisticated and categorized  to what you want to put online. Surely wordpress has progressed and groomed itself very well.. awesome.

    Here check out this video which has a detailed account of the new features of Wordpress 2.6.

    Damn man, this is so tiring, I know I might not be the best, atleast I know a couple of folks who are better than me, at what we do. So any how, oh well never mind..

    Right now, at this very moment, I m super exhausted, like super super exhausted.. I know it’s nit much, but I haven’t slept in like 24+ hours, and damn I doozed off for a couple of minutes here, and I snored.. damn, I never knew I snore. shit shit shit..

    Yes this is another random post, just today someone said I should tel people about the inflation in the prices, but hell they already know about it, it’s not somethign they hsould get to know from my blog.

    After the release of the new version of my website, I’ve seen some good traffic, and also some good projects coming my way, some of which I had to turn down for a couple of reasons.. Please donot question what reasons.

    There’s also some very funny stuff going on between me and Zair, haha I should laugh, it’s an internal joke, that I don’t want everyone to know, and oh since working about work, our asses at work are all jammed for now, so much work, so less time, well thats the nature of this work my friend, that how we roll.. and I m working on a project that’s quite a delicate subject, but very educating, I hope they get a positive and a balanced response.

    And then my friends, some of them are crazy pissed at me, and yes I m aware of that, haven’t been able to see some of them in eternity :P damn. I hope to meet them soon.. And Babrus, the cool digitartist rockstar dude has flown to Dubai. WOW!

    Thats all for now.. and oh the new version of wordpress is beteer. yaay.

    I’ve also removed justified text from this blog. yaayness.

    I did hit a six score finally… yaay. even though we usually loose the match, this time we won one too. another YaY.

    Oh and Zair might be comng back from the vacations soon, and Teabreak is coming along fine too, I m hoping to get some time to update that too, I mean get in touch with the team again and update stuff.. I can’t do that alone ya know, Asim is the big bro there :D
