Zain Mu Zain

I have just installed a DSL connection, where before I was using E-go purchased from Zain. Going from 2-5kbits per sec to 120!!! WOW now that's a transformation! I have to tell you people, Zain (means 'good' in arabic) are the worst service provider I have dealt with. I'm a Mac user (yeey) so the software to install the E-go was not provided, I had to visit a shop somewhere else in town to have the software designed for mac installed on my machine. Not only that, I had to pay for the service myself! yes people I payed out of own pocket without being reimbursed! I have called Zain and explained to them the situation without any positive feedback.
You would think now that the right software is installed you would get connected with the other world, guess again! the speed i'm supposed to have is 40kbits per sec and I was getting 2-5 sometimes late at night it would go up to TEN! I have called several times and spoken to several people without any luck!
Now with the DSL connection, I'm looking at the poor E-go on the table and I'm thinking, if I can aim from my balcony, I think it will be on the bottom of the ocean in a matter of seconds! Adios E-go!
Adios Zain! I will work hard for our roads never to cross again!

Hello DSL! how're you doin' ? :P

News from my balcony


I haven't been blogging for a while now, many things happened. Resigning from job, finding a new place to live, new people in your life and so on.
Let's get to the first part, Resignation! I'm out! walking and I'm walking and keep on walking. Get to the elevator, press the button, drive home and sit on a chair. I just resigned from a job. It's a frightening and exciting at the same time. I had no other plans for what to do next, I had no alternative to my action. I just wrote the letter, made a copy to my boss and his boss. Deleted everything on my work computer and just left the office.
What next one might think. Well, I'm reading about "Going on vacation for the poor rob" and I'm therefore thinking to leave and travel around, work when I run out of money and just keep living.
Here's a plot of my new discovery: "Free stay in a U.S. national park, free accommodation with families across the globe, free transportation down through Europe.
All this is possible for an applicant suffered, and perhaps also is committed to providing a work-holiday stay.

Many of these options are now grouped together by a bunch of people behind the website gratis.dk. The whole package is available on the Internet, and we have picked some of the offers.

Grand Canyon - close
One of the most magnificent natural in the world are in the U.S. national parks as Grand Canyon and Yosemite. As a tourist you get just a look inside the back tab, but as guest workers in the parks you get an entirely different impression. For example by putting up fences, moving rocks and protecting the environment from erosion.

Here one must be in good shape, between 18 and 40 years and also commit to at least 12 weeks. So is both free food and stay.
