Moving my blog from Blogger to Wordpress
I am thinking seriously about moving from Blogger to WordPress, Blogger is really great service, I mainly choose it because it doesn't need any server side scripting at all, i.e. it will work with SAUDI NET myweb service.
But lately I moved some parts of my site to a new server, and I now have a more reliable Apache+PHP+MySQL installation, and start playing with wordpress and it was really cool feature, I even built a plugin :)
any way here is my test wordpress page: http://rayed.rayed.com/wordpress

My new Nokia 6230i
I bought a new Nokia 6230i mobile phone after I my old Nokia 6610 was stolen (actually dropped in a cap while he drove me home).
The new phone comes with 1.3 Megapixel camera see a sample picture
Luckily STC started providing MMS service, which allows me to send emails from mobile phone, so now I can take a picture from mobile phone and email it direclty my flickr account, or I can blog by sending an email to my Blogger email address.

The loading problem caused by trying to access the RSS feed with a proxy server, which won't work inside Saudi Arabia, so here is the fix, in the file wp-includes/class-snoopy.php modify the proxy lines to be something like:
and the dashboard should load as expected.
