rand(25);

Posted by anas on Oct 20, 2009 in Personal Rants | 22 comments I have been tagged by SAWJ to write 25 random thing about me. I never really intended to oblige, but for some reason I feel like doing it now. So here is my attempt at discovering myself.. I’m very unpredictable. Sometimes, I surprise myself with this unpredictability. I used to be an extremely angry person few years ago. I’ve learnt to manage that and now I come across as someone...

(another) new beginning

Posted by anas on Sep 6, 2009 in Personal Rants | 6 comments Finally, I have found the perfect theme for this blog! The last couple of themes were pretty simple and boring but this one makes sense. The twitter streams are here (and i can add facebook too), so even if there is a long break before the posts are updated, the tweets will probably be flowing in. The flickr streams look nice too. Although I havent used flickr since creating an account some years...

Blog Revamped

Posted by anas on Aug 30, 2008 in Personal Rants | 0 comments After some 12 highly caffeinated nights and a similar number of slothful days, I’ve finally managed to tweak and modify the theme by Michael Jubel, to suit my needs and replace the older one (also by the same guy). To play around with the theme’s code, I backed up my entire blog on my computer, which in itself was a useful experience. Now, I don’t fear losing any data of mine...
