The following is a (Geekish) software review,and if you are allergic to geek stuff,now is the time to grab a box of tissues.
Anyway,i found some interesting free softwares and wanted to (show off) share em with you lot my bloggity mates and honies
At times when the grandma or grand dad is stuck and cant do some simple tasks on their computer,and you are in another city,how would you help them.Well here is a free software which will give you complete control of any other computer with the same software installed on it.Both computers should have a working internet connection and both aprties should share a certain login and password details generated by this software.Once connected,you can do what you want on the other computer.But if you start a movie on th remote computer,it wont transmit the sound to you.I have tried this software with my mate sargodhian and it works a treat.
Another free software from google does a lot more than just giving you control of the remote computer.You can play games on the other computer,you can transfer large files,you can listen to music,watch movies and even use someone else's internet connection.
I haven't tried it out yet but there are all sorts of good reviews about thos google software.

I regularly read news on all popular news websites,but these days there are not many subjects they are reporting on.I am bored with terrorist news and al qaeda news all the time for the last 10 years.Al qaeda may be doing this,may be doing that, and some would be bombers have been nabbed,i nam tired of this type of news reporting.Plus they got nothing good to say about anywhere outside North america and Europe.Looks like all the goodness,peace and beauty in the world is confined to northern america nd Western Europe and that cant be true.There are so many marvellous buildings and places in Dubai for example,and other arab countries,but all i read in those popular news websites is that "Arabs are hideous terrorists who supress their women" and thats all,full stop,nothing good in them.Whatsoever.
On many occasions,specially on US Channels i have watched advertisments urging people to use less oil,not because of environment conservation,but "Because oil comes from countries who support terrorism".Same about Africa,i haven read or heard anything nice,interesting or good about the whole continent from any popular news cahannel or website.
Does somebody know about a non-biased,non "Bandwagon" news website?

Another example of Yanke ingenuity.A dutch prime minister was fooled in 1969 when he was presented with an alleged moon rock by US diplomats.The "Moon rock" sat in a museum until now,and when it was analyzed in the lab,it turned out to be nothing more than a chunk of petrified wood .
Dont know how many visitors had marvel led at the piece of garbage over the years .
Full story here.

The other day i had a chance to talk to a man from Eritrea who was a failed asylum seeker in UK and was facing deportation.Although the police was not hunting him down as for some countries the UK home office has a policy of leniency.But saying that he was not allowed to work and no financial or otherwise support was available for him to survive.Illegal working is no more an option as the home office has successfully scared almost all the employers to such a degree that they are now reluctant to hire almost any non EU national even if they are legally allowed to work.I did not go into details about how he was surviving but he looked in a bad shape.I asked him about his story and what he told me was moving.Their country is constantly in trouble with neighboring Ethiopia and making that an excuse their government forcefully recruits all able men.Himself was forcefully removed from his family home at the age of 16 and taken to an army training camp.The government says that this "Voluntary" service is for two years and then they will be free to go,but it normally continues for over a decade,and they are neither paid nor allowed to leave the army.During their time in the army the dictator ruler of their country uses them to suppress the people and they are made to kill civilians.The man i was talking to was a tank driver and according to him,he did not remember how many times he was ordered to run over mud houses with people sleeping inside.According to him,they had two options,to obey the orders no matter how barbaric they were,or face indefinite imprisonment.Anyway,it took him over an year to reach UK on foot,on boats,hiding underneath lorries,taking all sorts of risks and bearing hardships that included going hungry for days on end.
I asked him why UK? and he told me that he did some research before embarking on his journey and read the UK home office's website in which they do offer asylum to people like him,and that he had some friends who came to this country before him.I asked him about how he was treated by the home office and how his case was handled and he told me that after he reported to asylum screening center somewhere near London,his finger prints were recorded and he was moved to a detention center.There he stayed for a month and then he was interviewed by a home office representative.The interview was 2 hours long and he was asked in details about why he fled his country and what were his circumstances.The interviewer insisted on documentary proof which he did not have,as according to him dictators do not issue receipts.Within 7 days of the detailed interview he was denied asylum,and given the right to appeal,but no legal aid was offered and he had no money to hire a lawyer of his own.
I didn't ask him how he was released,but i asked him why he cant go back? He told me that the army are still looking for him and if he returns,he is sure to go to a concenteration camp style prison with no hope ever of being released.
To me he looked very credible and wasn't lying,and after some googling,i did find similar stories from many other people from his country.I don't know what stopped the home office from believing him.
As far as i know,currently the Government is against any asylum for anybody.If they announce it clearly that would be better.Its just the pressure of the EU that keeps them from a complete abolishment of the UK asylum scheme.But this a very dangerous tactic.Dangerous for people like the Eritrea man i met.He risked everything to flee to a country where he could seek shelter and escape a life of forced killings and brutality.But UK asylum only proved to be a trap for him from which he has no way out.
I am not being judgmental here,but talking to that man and some googling did bring me to those conclusions.

Nobody likes their tranquility to be spoiled by some nerd who cant part with his mobile phone for 5 minutes.All mosques have notices clearly displayed at entrance that anybody coming in for prayers should switch off their mobile phones.Even then there are those idiots who don't bother.
Today while offering my afternoon prayers,and the mosque was full due to Friday,someone's mobile phone kept ringing for the whole duration of the prayers.Its hardly 15 minutes from start to end,why cant they leave their phones at home?the world will still be there and no wars would have been triggered if they didn't attend their phone for 15 minutes.
I have never been to a church or synagogue but i guess same kind of careless people spoil others' concenteration everywhere.
But there is a solution,i dont know if its legal or not,but as long as nobody knows i should be alright carrying a mobile phone jammer next time

Had to make some arrangements at work for Ramadan.I am doing night shifts this week so both my pre dawn and after sunset meals have to be taken at work.We do get ample break times during our shifts but i had to ask the manager to rearrange my breaks,and he gladly did.The total hours of my work remain the same but the breaks are at a different timings from my colleagues.None of my colleagues objected either,so it was ok. It is not always the same,last year the manager had issues with re arranging my breaks so i had to leave the job after making some excuse .Of course i couldn't have resigned by saying that you are not assisting me in my religious matter,as it was not his responsibility .Overall in this country the so called non believers are the most cooperative people,when it comes to other people's religious practices.All my colleagues tend to give me extra time when i am having my breakfast and they cover for me,although i never needed any more time other than my legal breaks,but it just makes me feel good about them.
During the day i am more like a sloth,moving slowly as my mind now works at a slow rate.Often the other person gets a response from me after a delay of a few seconds,as if the sound waves have taken longer to travel from their mouth to my ears.The sloth mood also includes sleepiness,and after ample hours of sleep the body refuses to awake fully.The overall food intake in 24 hours is almost the same as out of Ramadan,but the long gap does create trouble.Its been three days only and due to shrinking hips my trousers have gone loose.I will be buying some belts to keep them in place or some day i may get done for public nudity .
Right now i am waiting like quakula for sunset,so that i can sink my teeth in the samosa and pakora i just made.

From tonight after sunset,the month Ramadan will start.I will be struggling this time as usual .
The fasting will be from Half past three in the morning to about half eight in the evening,thats some 17 hours.No drinks,no food.It sounds a bit strange why someone would take so much trouble,but oh well,beleivers beleivers .
This time i am planning to recite the whole quran in the month,thats something i never done before withing a month.That means i will be sitting in the mosque for about 2 hours after i had stuffed my face in the evening .
The most difficult part is to keep working and and behave normally which we are supposed to,as part of Ramadan.So keeping fast will be Anti-Viagra (Not that i use viagra ) and after a few days i will lose all interest in opposite sex.Although it comes back after i am finished with Ramadan,but during this month only because i keep hungry for long periods of time,my libido almost crashes.
Now to find an alarm clock,so that i can wake up at 2 in the night and make some good food for myself,and eat and eat and eat until i am about to burst so that i can survive 17 hours of "No food".
Right,Saint safriz the great is off to the food store to buy some favorits,such as salmon and trout.

Really,i am glad that there is some nation in the world who can say no to Uncle Sam.Despite being pressurized by Uncle Sam, Scotland demonsterated that they dont take orders from across the pond.

If this is true,its a shame.I havent heard anything like this happening.This is the first ever for me.

Usain bolt is one hell of a runner.This man recently broke the world 100 meter record running at about 28mph.Thats about the same as the legal speed limit on city roads.
Looking at the statistics on BBC website of which i posted a the link,it seems that since 1912 to 2009 100 meter dash record has improved by a mere 1 second.The question is,are the athletes running faster or its the improved track,shoes and other materialistic improvements that contribute to these better timings?

All of a sudden i have shifted from beef and muttin to all sort os sea food,specially fish.There has been a lot of fish eating this month.Tesco has some good variety and cheap.I have been looking for trout but cant find it.Anybody knows from where to buy good trout at reasonable price?

I heard many accounts of my grand dad going on lion hunting expeditions with other army officers.That was in the colonial times in India.All English officers in india would like to hunt atleast one lion to prove their bravery.My grand was a "non english" doctor in the colonial British army.The one who killed a man eating lion or tiger was considered a super hero.
Fast forward to present era and only poachers kill lions.The present day heros and heroins work hard to save the endangered species of Lions and tigers.The once ferocious hunter is now hunted to extinction.They were feared by humans,and now they are looked upon with mercey.The balance of nature has swung wildly,or is it the old saying "time changes".

No he was not from Hogwarts.

He is not the first two-year-old to be curious about bathwater running down the drain, but he could be the first to destroy his parents' bathroom in the process.

Mr Quarrier said it felt like there was a "cast of thousands" there including family and relatives looking on.

The lesson of the story, even drains have feelings. If you go giving them the finger or even 2 fingers their retaliation can be devastating.

I was surprised to know that the British queen is still a direct ruler of soem off shore territories and there are places where the national anthem is "God save the queen".
Recentlty London overthrew the govenrment of an offshore territory in the carrabians.After all the queen is not that useless
Edit:ianrthorpe suggests Britain should resume colonial rule of America as Obama is even more clueless than Bush. Thats a fab idea,init?

Not that i am ever going to try this,but i dont know how women manage to walk on those sticks.Infact i feel inferior
But somebody did come up with an interesting,if not useful,idea.

Retractable heels.They sell it with an instruction manual.
Step 1
Secure one hand around the top of the heel, while the other hand pulls straight down on the lower half of the heel to disengage it from its upright locked position.
Step 2
Push forward on the lower portion of the heel until it stops moving and is stowed directly under the arch region of the shoe.
Step 3
Push straight backward on the tip of the stowed heel until it is recessed slightly into the upper heel cavity and secured in its locked position.
Done!
Once the adjustment has been made from a high-to-low heel position, the upper edge of the stowed heel should no longer be visible. To restore the heel back into its full high heel position, simply reverse the previous steps.

What if there is a malfunction and the heels retract by themselves while you are walking.You will be snogging the ground really hard

I welcome any female bare flesh.I am a kinda voyer,and enjoy those sights.But if women want to cover up,should be forces to hang their butt out of a swim suit? Thats what happened to this woman in france.Europe spent centuries in defining freedom for women,but such behaviour is far from that.Women should have the right to cover or bare.They shouldnt be forced into it.
I dont think swimming is any difficult in these swim suits.

Imagine a 39 foot tall T-Rex in your house or garden or where ever you can make some space for this magnificent creature.It will scare away the children,the drunk and probably the theives as most of them are always high on drugs.The only problem is that "samson" was dead 66 million years ago,and his skeleton is up for auction.
Some other uses of this rare auction may be,you know...it can be a perfect Birthday present.Imagine a truck stopping outside your loved one's house and workers off loading box after box filled with gigantic bones.Ho happy they will be to get such a pleasent surprise.May not be safe for dog lovers as the dogs may pinch the old boned and bury them somewhere secret.

I used to buy them when in school.Some are easy but some may take days to solve.There are hundreds of hundreds of designs availabe with varying level of difficulty.Can be a good distraction.

And the japanese wooden box puzzle,which are prety complicated.

While these bloggers will enjoy their real life Hull blogmeet i will arrange a (spoof) blogmeet in my head with some imaginary bloggers.

Its overcast in this part of England

Two Panoramic views fron outside Albert dock.It amazing how the city of Liverpool has changed so much in a few years.About 4 years ago i came here and found nothing of much interest except going to Albert dock and sit in some boring Bar.Then i left with an impression that its a conjested city with not much to offer.Look at it now.I am a regular visitor.Everything has changed,even the people.The city has so much to offer in every aspect.Click to enlarge.

Here is a reflection of the Yellow duck boat which is amphibious and takes you on a city ride on the roads and a small voyage through the Docks.Costs about a tennr and well worth it.

The grand liverpool cathedral.Its.....grand

I dont want these two to get any protection ever from anywhere.I feel guilty that my money too will be involved when they get released and the police protects them.

The most rediculous complaints received by thomascook.

"The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"

"There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."

"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."

"We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."

"It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

"I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."

"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."

"On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."

"We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels."

Or is it?

And dont go away yet.Here is a list of smileys for you.Be warned its explicit but funny

While sitting and having a good time with a lady(of joy) in some country far far away,i noticed that my vallet has been openned.On inspection i found that 10 dollars had gone missing.Although she was charging for her company,and this extra cash was not in the agreement.I was a bit annoyed and told her about my suspition.She was all dressed up and undressed immediately and asked me to check if i could find the money i suspected her to have theived.There she was all naked,and i checked all her clothes and couldnt find the tenner.
She gave me a strange look and asked if i still suspect her? I had to say no.Then she sat on the chair in front of me and spread her legs wide open,and there i could see my tennr peeping out of her wet purse
and i did not have the heart to pull it out of there ewww
Morale of the story: Never ask refund or change from a pros(You never know where the money has been)

It is being claimed that the Taliban leader in Pakistan has been killed in a drone attack or something.To hell with him
.Soon after that i read in news that Eununchs of pakistan have started their movement for acceptance in society.A eununch taliban style movement?
Using my imagination,i see men in high heels,taking hostages in Islamabad and asking government to give more jobs to transvestites and cross dressers in male dominated departments,such as army and police.
Next there will be a movement for gay rights in areas of Pakistan with large gay population.There are well known gay communities in Pakistan,from where we regularly hear gay love stories.Although its an orientation,not widely accepted in the country,but cities like Bannu are full of both extremities.Mullahs and gays live side by side.Muslim country eh?
I forgot the lesbians.They are next in line,i think.
I want to start a movement.I want polygamy to be recognized.I dont understand why it is illegal.If the women and the man are happy with it,why somebody else has a problem? It is wrong if it imposed and against the freewill of the women involved.
Yes,i forgot...women may also ask for polygamy rights.
Who will be next?
To me this whole concept of "Rights" has gone haywire.With the general rejection of religion as the referrance point,it is hard to have a collective opinnion about who is right and who is wrong.Its just a matter of how we think.
I think i am gona stick to the "old school".Although in this day and era i cant have problem with any sexual/relation orientation,but i have the right to endorse them or not.

This is re-post from 2006.

Once upon a time there was a little bird migrating from snowy mountains to the warmer plains.
It was windy up in the sky and too snowy on the land.
The little bird was struggling to keep flying,until the time came when she got exhausted and fell down in the snow.
Since it was too cold and the little bird was too tired to move a wing,it fainted.
A cow was passing by,she didnt notice the wee bird and pooped on the helples little thing.The warmth of the dung woke up the bird.And it felt nice and warm in there,so it started chirping.
A cat was pasing by and was very hungry.It heard the chirping from a heap of dung,and told itself,lets have a meal.Quickly it pulled the bird out of the shit ,cleaned it,killed it and ate it.
The moral of the story is : Anyone who throws shit on you may not be your enemy.
Anyone who pulls you out of shit may not be your friend.
If you are happy under a pile of shit,dont tell anyone and keep shut.

A decade ago while working on a large ocean going Freighter,we were caught by a Typhoon in the Taiwan straits.We had prior warning about the intensity and possible route of the monster,but it changed path abruptly and we found ourselves struggling for survival.We were 18 people of 7 different nationalities and from 4 continents.The engineers were from Russia.
The wind was so strong that the sea turned white with a layer of streaking foam.The rain was no more vertical,it was horizontal,and water droplets were travelling so fast that it hurt when rain hit us on exposed skin.The waves were gigantic and looked like black hills of water rolling towards us with their tops being blown continuously,giving an impression of a massive head with fuzzy hair.The sky was dark grey,horizon to horizon.The 30 foot high waves would smash into our ship,tossing her around like a wooden plank.Our weight would increse many times when the huge waves lifted the 140,000 ton ship out of the water,and then for a moment we would feel weighlesness and then we would feel the shock waves in our bones,produced by the body of the ship falling back into the ocean.On the starboard side,steel plates two inch thick started to cave in,and the massive frames supporting them started to detach.The booming sound of crashing waves and crumbling,twisting,cracking steel filled the air.The sheer force of water was too much to bear.
To make things worse the engines stalled,and wont fire up."Abandon ship" was what we heard,and all our training,turned instincts.I remember trying not to fall by grabbing the walls,the doors,the railings or whatever fixed structure i could find,while making my way to the Boat station.Once outside on the open deck,all of us were crouched and tied ourselves to the railings.The wind was too strong to stand upright or even breath,and the ship was rolling so violently that any of us could lose balance and fall into the sea,or could be swept away by the smashing waves which occasionally drowned us upto our waists,lifting us and trying to sweep us away.After releasing the few lashings,the boat was ready to launch and we had to board it,release a lever and we were in the sea,steering away from the ship.The ship was still intact and not breached,but with the engines stalled we had no chance of manoevering away from the storm and were being sucked towards to eye of the monster.
Then two drunk men,the cheif engineer and the third engineer who had been drinking litres of vodka for the past day or so,refused to board the lifeboats.In their drunk madness they rushed back towards the engine room.We didnt want to leave them behind,but at the same time we thought they are out of their minds.For some reson,all of us decided to wait for a miracle.Nobody knows how they did it,not even them,but they restarted the ship's main engines.I remember the whistling sound of pressurised air being released into the ship's engines,as there is no car style self or battery.Then the grumble and the smoke coming out of the funnel.It was one of the merriest sights of my life.I remember people being froze with jaws dropped and dumbstruck.Then all of us rushing back in,and back to our positions.Then the six hours of navigation,engineering,seamanship,command,subordination,cooperation,hope and utter luck.
The ladies at the next port bore the full brunt of our frusteration and joy

This girl turned 16 this january but still sleeps in her cot.

A greek woman is on trial after she felt hungry when a Brit tourist exposed his meat loaf to her.She tried to Bar b q the sausage by pouring alcohol on it and then setting it on fire.Before she could sprinkle some pepper or salt for seasoning,the greek police arrested her and sent the man to a local hospital.How rude.

Thats one aspect where there is a great differance between genders.I cant think of doing such a thing to a woman who bares her chest in front of me,or shows me her buns.(wishful thinking )

If i am not wrong,while texting or internet chatting "x" is considered a Kiss?
On many occasions some of my male friends keep sending me "x" while texting or while online chatting.Its always an innocent error on their behalf,as they may be texting or chatting one of their girl friend or a female friend,and at the same time sent me a message.But it looks so gay that i have to ask them to "stop kissing me".

My book reading continues,without any reading glasses.Not that i need any,but i am thinking of buying one,you know...to look trendy
