my.saudi.net.sa tip

SAUDI NET portal site has a little anoying box called "New @ MY" this box is mandatory and you can't remove it or change its location.
But there is a little trick to remove it completely, instead of accessing the portal using the address:
http://my.saudi.net.sa/
You can use:
http://my.saudi.net.sa/?nofixed=1

Indian food killing me

Couple of weeks ago a new Indian restaurant open in Raka Plaza near my home, it is called "Spice", it looked nice, and the logo was really cool.
Last week me and my wife tried it, the food was good, the problem was the day after that, I had the worst stomach ache, and it didn't stop until today. Everytime I eat anything the same pain comes again.

Very similar to the world spice in Cafe Spice.

Dumping Mozilla for Firefox,Thuderbird combo

I decide to stop using Mozilla in favour of Firefox, Thuderbird combo.
Firefox is a stand alone browser, and Thuderbird is stand alone email client, both made by Mozilla foundation.
I make this decision since Mozilla package isn't as current as neither Firefox, or Thuderbird, and I think I raed that Mozilla foundation will favour Firefox/Thuderbird.
Another advantage of two seperate programs for browsing and email, is the ability to upgrade one component without affecting the other, althought all Mozilla upgrade were very smooth.

Working after Eid misery

Today is the second day of work after Eid vacation, I hardly got up from my bed today, as you know sleeping hours in Ramdan and Eid is dramatically fliped, I usually sleep after 6 am!! and wake up around 2pm.
I went to bed at 12 am but couldn't sleep until 5:30 am.
Today I'll try to stay awake all day, so I can fall sleep early in night.
