Today I filled a Mozilla bug report about an old bug on handling Arabic paragraph, in the same day I received a feedback about this bug saying they couldn't regenerate it on current versions. So I downloaded Firefox Preview Release and it really solved, I love Mozilla :)
Update: The bug still exists in Mozilla 1.7.3 :(
Update: But it works with Mozilla 1.8 a :)

Back from vacation
... so tired, I found out that I don't relax on my vacations, from now on I need to include a relaxation period in all of my vacations.
One more thing, when I go back to work I really hate it, but we will see if the relaxation period will solve this.
About my vacation, I spent two days in Ras Tanura in Aramco compound, in my wife's uncle home, Fahad, it was great the place is very nice with a sea view, they have very small but fun city.
Then I spent two days in Bahrain, nothing new their same place, same activities, we saw 5 movies and came back again ... and that's it.

Cost of living in Riyadh
According to this link from CNN the cost of living in Riyadh is ranked #77 out of 144 cities.
I wonder with the current oil price where are we heading and the worst part that we aren't getting a dime from it!

Here is the code to add in Postfix main.cf file:
