IT Reasons
Posted by Bloggylife in funny, work on November 28, 2008
When shutting down the server, you’re asked to provide the reason…
Event: Planned
Reason:
power shitdown
power shotdown
power shutdown
LOL, I had to correct it each time, good thing I noticed it or else it would’ve gone into the events records!
The mind has its terrible ways ;D
The IT Crowd
Posted by Bloggylife in entertainment, funny on June 18, 2008
My friend told me about this show and I downloaded the first episode, it was OK and I laughed because I can relate to some of the incidents that happen
It is about the IT in a company and a new manager who doesn’t know anything about IT is hired -ain’t that case always ;p-
It is so true, IT is not respected in any company, we are considered the dumb people who exist to make sure the messenger is working
I laughed when they always say, have you tried turning it off and on again?
I remember once an employee calling about his PC.
My monitor is black
OK, is the monitor & PC turned on??
I just went and came back and now the screen is black
AHA .. maybe it is on stand-by or hibernate, do you see any lights … the keyboard lights
where??
OK, just move the mouse or press any key
Nothing
is the PC on, the lights on the PC are they blinking
where
Do you hear the fans of the PC, is the PC making any sound
…..
OK just press the switch ON button
where .. nothing
Is the PC plugged in??
what ???
OK .. we’ll send someone
And I remember another incident where this lady calls complaining she has no Internet so I know her IP, so I said:
Let me just check if I can see you -meaning if you’re alive on the network-
what you can see me, where, where are the cameras, when did you install them
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA -that was mean-
I was just imagining her looking around searching for the cameras and I explained to her my point … maskeena .. yes we can be mean ;D
Memories, I am saying if anyone wants to make a Kuwaiti IT sitcom, contact me, I’ll provide the material and the incidents, even the goofy stuff, IT people do, like accidental shutting the whole department down ;P
IT Problems
Posted by Bloggylife in funny, thoughts on June 13, 2008
When a problem can be fixed by simply
switch OFF
switch ON
It’s working
If only everything was that easy … sometimes
So True

Funny how people exchange data between each other, normally in an email server limitations are forced, like the size of attachment you can send and receive, the size of the email box, types of files you receive and others …
The Internet is slow, not in a normal time, you check the activities and since you don’t have any restriction on your email server, don’t be surprised if you find an outgoing email with attachment size 100MB, some people are insane … and if you tell them of the restrictions they believe you are doing that on purpose to make their lives harder … Please, even if crazy us allow such a thing, other sensible ends won’t!!! But listening is one thing they ain’t doing ;P
This one is just so darn FUNNY … because that’s what I stop myself from doing when dealing with Vista on my laptop ;P Just seeing this picture, makes me smile … I’m thinking: He must have Vista on it 
IE vs Firefox
Posted by Bloggylife in funny, personal, technology on April 27, 2008
I’ve been facing some issues lately with my IE browser and when searching for a solution all the roads seem to lead to other browsers mainly Firefox. Especially with Google sites like my email or sites that require certification not identified by Microsoft. I would install it and successfully I may add but as soon as I open the site again it gives me the same error. As for gmail, that my browser’s cache is full although I just cleared everything, increased the size, restarted the PC, nothing seems to solve the issue, so I switched to Mozilla Firefox which is quiet intriguing so far and no problems and operating smoothly. But I notice that for some applications that have web management it alerts that it is not supported by this browser and I may face some difficulties till now no reported problems from my side. When asked about a specific supposedly un-trusted site’s certification, I confirm the installation and voila, worked. So I went back to my IE which has been giving me trouble for months now and installed the un-trusted certificate again and guess what, yes it worked!! I guess it needed the competition, IE is now aware that Firefox is residing within the same machine and maybe it is trying to prove itself. I just need to get used to Firefox’s interface and navigation.
Here a funny JOKE from my Google portal subscription, it fits the “politic drama action” we have right now:
A busload of politicians were driving down a country road, when suddenly the bus ran off the road and crashed into an old farmer”s barn.
The old farmer got off his tractor and went to investigate. Soon he dug a hole and buried the politicians. A few days later, the local sheriff came out, saw the crashed bus and asked the old farmer where all the politicians had gone.
The old farmer told him he had buried them.
The sheriff asked the old farmer, “Lordy, were they ALL dead?”
The old farmer said, “Well, some of them said they weren’t, but you know how them crooked politicians lie.”
Update: Actually I noticed I have trouble with sites that I know are published using IIS, I don’t know if this related
The Best Ever
Posted by Bloggylife in funny, thoughts on February 6, 2008
Have you ever told the same situation over and over again and yet you seem to laugh everytime? Whether you tell it to a friend in front of you or over the phone, you can’t seem to stop cracking yourself up. While messaging, driving or simply before you sleep.
I laughed so hard, tears came pouring out my eyes while clapping hard. I haven’t done this in a very long time. I laugh … cackle … everytime I remember, I am smiling wide right this moment.
The situation maybe embarrassed the person to whom it happened but nevertheless you can’t seem to muster the decency to shut the hell up. NO, you turn your head back and laugh out sooooo hard, you can’t say two straight words all together.
Thank you for the best laugh I had in a very long time. Yesterday before I went to bed I actually felt pretty and light all because I laughed from the deepest possible place not just from within my heart but my soul.
Alphabets
Posted by Bloggylife in funny, work on December 31, 2007
Two technicians installing the hardware and one had to read out the license number to the other, so this is how they talked out their alphabets:
Alpha-3-8-Charlie-Alpha-Bravo-5-9-Delta-9 …
I felt like I was in the military or some police force. The only thing left was to say ‘over’ at the end of each exchange ;P
“we’re going down damn it, save yourselves” hehehe, couldn’t help it!!!!
I remember how day to day users pass information, like their email account, password or MAC addess, instead of letters they’d use:
Apple-Boy-Cake-Doctor …
I liked how the first one goes, adds a bit of spice to it
The Irony ;)
Posted by Bloggylife in funny, troubleshooting, work on November 13, 2007
The irony of the situation, I am smiling while writing this post. One of the most complaints I received back in my old job was MSN messenger is not working. HELL will come down descending upon us if the messenger stopped working for 5 minutes!! I became an MSN messenger expert troubleshooter, min kither el-mashakel. Most common causes for MSN messenger not to work starting with the least common:
- Misconfiguration of the PC clock, time mismatch creates a problem with authenticating with the MSN servers
- Blocking the application through a personal firewall, whether it be Microsoft’s firewall or some other installed firewall application
- Not having the Internet connection at ALL. I mean you don’t have a cable for GOD’s sake!!
- Users forgetting their username and password. wAllah they actually required me to get it for them, wait let me contact my psychic password guy, hmmmmmmm, let me get that password for you along with a mocha-latte
So today I tried at my new job to login to my MSN messenger account and it didn’t work and being new, couldn’t really troubleshoot the problem. wAllah I started laughing, min khither ma at7al6am 3ala el-maw’6o3, MSN messenger not working happened to me. I’ll figure out the solution later. Is it IRONY or KARMA
Definition: Troubleshooting
Posted by Bloggylife in funny, troubleshooting on November 6, 2007
To find out why something does not work and to fix the problem in ways that may or may not sound stupid to the end user. Regardless of what is believed, troubleshooting does not include lessons given by the IT person to the end user in the history of computers and forcing him/her to detail every action he/she is taking. Troubleshooting a computer often requires determining whether the problem is due to malfunctioning hardware or buggy or out-of-date software or a stupid person refusing to admit his/her wrong doings.
Troubleshooting results in evidence leading to the cause of the problem, so if the end user is the cause of the problem the IT person reserves the right to shoot him/her to ensure that the problem does not occur again and does not spread out for the safety of other systems.

Cats in Kuwait
Posted by Bloggylife in funny, Kuwait, thoughts on November 3, 2007
Cats in Kuwait are suicidal. Someone some long time ago gave them the illusion that cats really had 9 lives, that they could survive a car tire running over them, it probably was a dog. I don’t know if this only happens in Kuwait but cats are weird. I’d be extra cautious when entering our area because any second some crazy maniac cat will come running out of the bushes in front of me. From a distance I can see it standing on the sidewalk staring straight ahead, I would slow down to give it time to cross the road, and does it cross NO. It waits until I am close enough and then runs like hell to the other side. Even if I flash my head lights continuously, it doesn’t seem to take notice! ‘La wala laman’ they stand in the middle of the road and won’t move, I would turn my car away from it ‘3ameti ma tabe tet7arak!!’ then I would see it in my rear-view mirror crossing. I’ve seen people don’t give a damn, they would just simply run over them. I mean they are crazy cats and do have a death wish but you don’t have to make it your job to grant it, just leave them be. ‘Yama’ I hit the brakes so hard just to avoid sending a cat to the other side of this world. I don’t know what’s the solution, make cats be more car accident aftermath aware, a campaign addressed to the naïve species of cats: Believe it or not your 9 lives count for nothing when a 1 ton car runs over you no matter what the legend is. Maybe, just maybe this will help tackle the problem.
