Again we are cut off, it’s been over a week now. I called my ISP days ago asking when this issue will be resolved. They informed me within a couple of days and still I’m operating on inoperable speeds!

My speeds dropped to less than 5KB/sec!

Of course they are provided with backup links but they allocated much of the bandwidth to companies, I guess in fears of lawsuits, but poor us end users, who will compensate us?

I believe that ISPs renting bandwidth from the company handling that frequent being cut cables will be compensated somehow.

I was discussing this issue with my bro, “what do you think happened?”

This time there wasn’t much media coverage on this issue, so do you think some James Bond action went down ;P ya3nee how many times are these cables being cut, some ship somewhere dropped its anchor. Maybe it’s just some idiot who made a mistake while repairing them.

So supposedly, “for security reasons”, nobody know the exact location where these cables are laid down in the sea, but this ain’t working, people seem to be pretty good at guessing their location and dropping anchor, so why not just attach these floating balloons indicating their location and ships will avoid that! and have sharks swirling in this area to protect them from people who want to sink down and cut them off and spend some money protecting these cables, have a fence over them or something, since the company seem to spend quite a lot on fixing them! Just ideas swirling in my head …

To solve this issue, we need more companies to come here to Kuwait and base their services, I know quite a lot to ask for … or somewhere that we don’t need to cross over so many under high risk to be cut off media

For example …

Imagine if we had hotmail servers here synchronizing with others around the world and we had to connect to them here. Bring google over here too. Some eMule servers for my pleasure Can amazon come over too. Anybody ???

Eventually they’ll have to communicate with mostly US of course, but centralizing will help reduce the pain we are feeling right now ;D

feeling cornered in that cold freezing room, thoughts swirling around in your head about the errors that keep popping up, feeling confused about the useless messages that don’t make sense!

just reboot

Everything is jammed, nothing is responding, processes are refusing to die! Your CPU is tired and extensively eaten up all its resources, no more room to swap them pages anymore

keep holding down that small button for a few seconds to cut off life off the machine

hoping you find a solution but nothing is responding, don’t hesitate pull that cable out

These machine are supposedly designed to overcome human idioticy, so why not push it’s limit. It’ll recover, fix itself, take a back up or not, already have your RAID configured … khalas … there is your green light

Don’t they claim everyone needs a fresh start, so nothing your doing is working out, you’ve done everything in your power but that road ain’t leading nowhere …

reboot … give it that fresh air it’s craving for

it may not open the solution door for you, but definitely a new road to start with …

3ad .. you and your luck … it’s either the path you’re looking for or a dead end and you took the wrong deadly step and fell into a bottomless stinky hole

eternal torture … or a very long one …

another pain … feeling frustrated … kick the crap outta of it, sometimes it works other times you just end up breaking it  … but we all know you intended to replace it anyways, right ;D

Don’t forget, RESTARTing is sometimes the solution when all don’t make sense anymore

Some memories from my jobs

• Driving to sharq with my sis and mom, I was looking for a parking place and wasn’t paying attention that I ended up nudging the car in front of me gently ;P The guy in the car doesn’t come out of his car and we waited he didn’t move. Both of us found parking spaces not far away from each other, and when he came out of the car … it was our department’s head ;P 6ab3an I ducked down until he went further ahead … ya3nee from all the people your car could possibly crash in, it had to be your boss ;P
• After a long work day, I was heading to my car but remembered something I forget in my office so I went back and since it was late and no one was watching … like a habla I started running back to my car LOL, then I saw the security guy running my way asking if I was alright and if someone was following me … hehehehe
• Straight out of work, my sis, mom and I went shopping in Salmiya, someone from behind comes and says “How are you?”, he didn’t even see my face and it was one of our employees … I turned to my sis and said, “you know it’s sad that employees now recognize me from my clothes” hehehe, this should shatter my femininity but there is nothing left to be shattered  hahahaha, OMG this is sad, a woman shouldn’t be laughing at this
• I was filling up my car with gas and decided to walk to the ATM machine and then I hear someone saying, “I need you to fix my computer”, I turn around and it was one of our employees from my old job. He was asking where I went and if I can come look at his problem, ahhh, that was nice
• When people see me carrying stuff, my ultra-mega laptop or a switch, they would come over and offer to help. The don’t know me, miss biceps ;P
• I remember when some stupid ass treated me badly, our department’s head came personally to apologize, I wasn’t nice with him ,but it was a nice gesture
• I don’t get bullied much about my days off -perhaps now and then ;P- but sometimes they demand I go home because I look tired ;D

I just decided to share some nice incidents, it’s not all bad ;D

I had a glimpse into this world and it is juicily sinful!

Since I’m NOT that socially popular, I’m never part of this whole world and I really don’t fit in actually because I don’t feel comfortable and I don’t know what to say or how to act and end up proving the inevitable of social retardness.

She whispered and I talked loudly ;P She shushed me and I listened closely. I should’ve asked questions but I didn’t want to pry but isn’t that the whole purpose of gossip!

Like a giddy ridiculous little girl, I felt part of a group ;P and before this wears out and I get tired and sick of it, I’ll enjoy the feeling

Though I still believe one should not spread gossip especially in the work place but enough righteous nonsense there is no harm of being the end receiver … for now that is ;P
