I had a movie in MPEG format (extension .mpg) of 1H 20min length & 1.6gb size, usually DivX files with similar length take less than 700mb, so I went googling & looking for a way to convert the film, I first tried VirtualDub & VirtualDubMod but for some reason I got a big file & worse a black screen .. I went searching again to find a link to “Dr. DivX”, one problem is that the doctor was away! Damn him!
I’ve uploaded zip files before using Firefox & even to iStockphoto, but don’t know what happened to the browser & how settings changed … Two days ago I couldn’t upload & was getting an error message saying the zip file was invalid, I first thought the problem was coming from the file & the way I packed my vectors in it, but then I browsed the forums & found out this answer: Read the rest of this entry »
I came to the conclusion that the best pet you could get is … a turtle!
I spent a big part of today searching, browsing, downloading, modifying & uploading smileys to a forum.
I noticed there was some interest for the posts I made about me working on Arabic WP, & the theme I modified, so I decided to make it a bit fancier & upload it for anyone who would need it, I even created a demo blog just for it, who knows I may like translating / modifying themes & make more 
I don’t drink so I allow myself to say this 
It’s simple, why to punish people for driving drunk? They are not in their normal state & don’t have all their mind, they shouldn’t be responsible then as the act of drinking is not illegal in itself. A kid is not responsible as an adult because of their immaturity, so are mad men or those who walk in their sleep, why is it different with drunkards? Why is it a crime to drive drunk? Why not also a crime for driving asleep? To drink is as legal as sleeping, isn’t it?
I’m writing this because yesterday we celebrated the B. Day of our prophet & today in the Joumoua (Friday afternoon prayer), the imam talked about how Mohamed had great ethic & how now we, today’s Muslims follow nothing of them. The second reason is a video I watched a few days earlier called “Algeria Vs Europe”.
I needed to find some mustache pictures for a chef illustration I was making, so I went googling, the first search result for “mustache” was the “American Mustache Institute” Website, I found there this page about Mustache Styles & learned there’s the Chevron mustache, the Dali mustache, the English, the Fu Manchu, the Horseshoe, Imperial, Lampshade, Painter’s Brush, Pencil, Pyramidal, Toothbrush (Hitler’s like), Walrus & the one I was looking for - without knowing the name - the Handlebar mustache, the famous cook’s one.
Wordpress let you customize your Blog URLs as you wish, & make them more SEO friendly, especially if you include posts names in them, that would improve your rankings in search results.
Already talked about me installing Arabic version of WP … Next I had to customize the site with some theme, so I got a nice theme from Themes.Wordpress.net & had first to change text orientation, which was a rather easy task using CSS, & then rested to translate the English titles, warnings, captions, etc to Arabic.
This started with this phrase:
Yesterday I installed Arabic Version of WordPress for a friend, I’ve got some SQL errors first due to weird codes in the wp-config.php file, I’ve modified it just as I used to do with English installation, but got some weird errors, I suppose it’s because there are explanations written in Arabic in it, I didn’t try to remove them, instead I just replaced the file with wp-config.php of a English package & it worked.
About 10 days ago I posted about my application to upload Vectors to iStock Photo, yesterday morning I finally got an email from them (they previously said the response would take up to two weeks).
I was logged i my Google Webmaster Tools account & noticed that linked question: How can I improve my site’s ranking?, I followed the link & was rather surprised by the answer even if somehow I already knew it:
So today is March the 3rd, the day Alexander Graham Bell was born in year 1847, Bell is recognized universally as the inventor of the Telephone, a revolutionary communication mean of the modern era.
