Yes, that should be their motto instead of “It’s for you”.

The mbc network has been advertising an interesting episode of the CBS show 60 minutes. Of course, they figured out that the best time to air that show would be 6:00am KSA, which is 5:00am our time. Completely dismayed, i looked up their schedule at their website (mbc.net), and i found out that this program will repeat at 2:00am. Although i had a long day already, i decided to stay up late and catch that show.

It is 2:18am now, and sure enough mbc4 decided to screw with me and air a different program that is not listed on their OFFICIAL WEBSITE SCHEDULE !!! Instead of 60 minutes i am now in the pleasant company of …. guess what …. BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS!!! Instead of watching a semi-intelligent show, i am now looking at rappers wearing sun glasses at night, inside a fully closed hall !!! This is just awful

WTF mbc !! Please fix your scheduling, and display the CORRECT schedule on your website … this is just beyond annoying!!

I was reading this Wikipedia article, when i noticed an interesting link at the bottom.

Hey, we don’t need a new census, because apparently we are all listed in Wikipedia!!!

I was going to rant about how it is the18th of October already (the scheduled release date for Ubuntu 7.10), and yet the banner on the main page of ubuntu.com still claims that the new release is coming soon, and no news brief is available in their little news section … even though their little counter does proclaim that there are 0 days to go for the new release, and one can actually follow the download links to download the new 7.10 (not RC) iso. I even got a screenshot to prove this.

However, as i refreshed the main page one last time … i discovered that they have updated their site in celebration of the new release. They managed to sneak in that update while i was writing this post!

Touché Ubuntu …. Touché!
Oh well … i am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they have scheduled the release for 12:00 GMT. I guess i will be downloading 7.10 now and installing it.

I think i might have a case of the flu. As this fever has rendered me bed-bound, i think i won’t be able to post for a while.

… will be back later after recovery inshallah.

Just a couple of videos of Street Jumping and Parkour, as seen in the movie District 13 (which i haven’t seen yet ).

This infamous video is from District 13, and all the stunts were real! No wires, or CGI … all real !!

This second video gets really interesting after the second minute mark.
