This website will be 19 years old later this year. It started as a journal of my tech notes, graduating to a full fledged blog. Once the blogging became less frequent, it became a portfolio of my work as a professional photographer. I have been neglecting the site lately, with the last post dating back […]
Life has been filled with so many things that I just haven’t had the time to blog here. Haven’t had time to do a lot of photography either, but there are a number of pics I want to post here. Will do it soon hopefully. Besides that, have moved to a nice office in Islamabad, […]
The past few days have been filled with tragedy on a national level. Pakistan saw the country’s worst ever plane crash on Wednesday when an Airbus A321 crashed into the Margalla Hills, overlooking Islamabad. All 152 people on board lost their lives, their charred and dismembered remains scattered around the hill (link). As is the […]
It’s official. The Chevrolet Cruze has arrived in Pakistan and has been sighted in Islamabad. The Cruze replaces the Daewoo Lacetti (also known as my beloved Chevrolet Optra) and the Chevi Cobalt. The latter probably doesn’t exist in Pakistan and the Optra is mostly found in Islamabad. The Cruze is quite an impressive car with […]
The last few weeks have been more interesting than usual and I had lots to speak out on. I’ve been Tweeting quite regularly, but was dying to get a few blog posts in. One thing bogging me down was the old blog format where everything had to be written by hand and passed through my […]
I’ve neglected the blog for far too long. There are close to 10,000 comments by spammers so to start off, I’m disabling comments completely. I’m still dreaming about turning Pylogger into the Python equivalent of WordPress, but that’ll likely need a couple more days of work. 🙂 Seriously, I’d be writing more often if I […]
Now that the slow, but blessed month of Ramadan and the Eid season are over, I am starting to be a little more productive. As usual, there was a lot to write about and ample time to utilize my literary skills, but this year’s fasting month was especially hard and as you may have seen […]
Just got home (at 2am) after being stuck on Islamabad’s roads for a few hours. Cars, bikes, vans, you name it; they were all out on the  roads, crawling at a snail’s pace and blocking all intersections. However, it was nothing to be mad about. Pakistan’s 62nd independence day is here and the party has […]
For the last few years, the growth in Pakistan’s telecom sector has been spectacular. Yes, we’re still waiting for 3G and there’s plenty of room for improvement, but we have one of the fastest growing number of users and among the lowest call rates in the world. Competition between the various operators has been fierce, […]
This year has been especially rough for gadgets and tech in general. Murphy’s Law has struck not once, not twice, but a number of times and I put it all down to a cycle of life that everything follows. I lost most of my equipment to power damage a couple of months ago. More recently, […]
