i'm updated!

Posted by anas on Jun 24, 2008 in Personal Rants | 0 comments After incessant chirping of a very good friend, who doesn’t like to see incomplete (or should I say messy?) works, I have finally added some text to the About page of this blog. This time, it’s more than a one-liner. In fact, it suffices the requirement of this friend, who has no other shut-up switch. I’ve always thought of writing some very detailed essay-like composition for...

name@ymail.com –> New Domain From Yahoo!

Posted by anas on Jun 20, 2008 in Personal Rants | 3 comments Yahoo! has started registrations for two new domains in addition to their existing @yahoo.com mailing service because of the increasing difficulty for the new registrants to find appropriate IDs, and to attract more customers of course.

Passport Control at Jinnah...

I will never stop!

Posted by anas on Mar 19, 2008 in Personal Rants | 0 comments I will never hide my talents; if I am silent, I am forgotten. If I do not advance, I will fall back.
