about the quake

October 11th, 2005 by Abbas Halai

people have been wondering why i haven’t commented much on the quake. i just figured that karachi and lahore metblogs have been doing such a good job, i’d let them continue. they have done a great job and i must applaud all the bloggers on the metblog team from these cities.

they were mentioned on cnn recently as well.

“What we’re seeing from blogs, are efforts to reach out. This is Metro Blogging, this is a group blog, a global group of blogs, and they are in various cities all over the world. We saw them reach out in New Orleans because of Hurricane Katrina. Here they are in Lahore for everyone who wants to help out. They have a comprehensive list of how you can do so. Another one in Karachi, an organized list of ways that you can help.”

im glad they got the idea of what metroblogs are all about and what our purpose is.

done with MS

October 11th, 2005 by Abbas Halai

so i finally took the plunge. formatted the windows box and installed ubuntu. done with virii. done with propietary crap. done with shareware. done with needing to find cracks and serials. done with updates and patches. done with antivirus software. done with paperclips and start buttons and error logs and reboots and smileys and other various moronic essentials of enjoying a personal computer.

anyone recommend me a good unix rss reader?

since i couldn’t find anything better, here you have proof of dubya’s fascination with baldies.
