Yesterday, we finally got to go and check out Carthage Land, the all new and very first theme park in Tunisia, built in the great touristic station of Yasmine Hammamet. It was really cool and fun, we enjoyed it very much :) The games and rides are cool, and the atmosphere is great. A very good inititiative from the Poulina Group. My only advice to anyone is not to go there on a weekend

It's unbelievable, totally unbelievable how a nice place and great shopping experience can turn into a nightmare and somewhere you avoid going to. That's what's happening (or i think already happened) to the Tunisian Carrefour. A year ago, it was the best place to be for shopping, you'd find anything you need, have a good meal, enjoy your time and go home waiting for the next time you'll be

Before an hour or so, the power went off in the whole area (i can just hear those lazy guys at the electricity company going like "Come on, the power went off in New York, and you're complaining cause it went off in Charguia 2, give us a break !"), and we guys at work ended up waiting for the electricity to come back on in the Recreation room talking about a load of meaningless crap as usual, lol

Yes, i was blasted, i have no idea how, but my pc had all the symptoms of the MS Blaster worm: shutting itself down and stuff. Anyway, i was able to clean it up yesterday, and life is back to normal again :) The key to fixing it i found was to not open Internet Explorer, so i used Opera to go to the Microsoft website and download the patch, and then everything went on great. But with all the

Yesterday afternoon was nice, after going home from work, then going back to fix a stupid error the client created by overwriting their database, and then going home the second time, i had time to play more "C&C : Generals", which was cool, more of me crushing the terrorists with the Chinese Army... At about 8PM i remembered i hadn't eaten anything all day long, so i went out for some fast food

I've launched a new blog, it's more tech oriented, and it includes interesting stuff and news from the tech world. Check it out at: http://m-tech.blogspot.com. The past couple of days i've cut back on the number of movies i've been seeing, as i was afraid i'd soon run out of movies, and that wouldn't be a good thing :P So i'm basically seeing only one movie a day now, and spending the rest of

Sunday was actually quite similar to Saturday, lol, more of me filling my time with anything. I watched 5 movies, played "Command & Conquer : Generals" using the Chinese army this time, visited my parents and surfed the net a bit. The movies i saw yesterday were: - Friday: at last i got to see this one, but i was dissapointed, i mean it's a good movie, but with all the hype it had around it back

Ever since i came back from work late yesterday, i've been trying to fill up my time with anything so as to not feel lonely, i've watched 4 movies already, listened to a load of mp3s, played "Command & Conquer : Generals", burned a new music cd to play in the car, gone out shopping, rented 4 more movies, and now i'm back home, with more time in my hand to waste, lol. The 4 movies i saw were: -

Well, my wife has gone to visit her family in Jordan, and due to work obligations i wasn't able to go too, and so i'm left all alone in Tunisia. This is not the first time i'm alone in my life, but this time it's so different, it feels like i'm the only person left on earth. It's the first time we're not together ever since we got married last year, it sucks big time, and it actually feels

Last night was a great night out, we went to a club called "Calypso" in Hammamet (which is one of the best clubs in Tunisia) with some friends, and we partied like crazy and danced till the break of dawn. The music was amazing, the beats were hypnotizing and the bass was out of this world, in short it was impossible to even think of sitting down, your body simply wouldn't let you. Everyone was

We were invited at a friend's place yesterday, he's someone who went to the same school as i did in Tunisia, and whom i met and knew better in Jordan when i was going to university there. The cool thing is we also lived in the same building, became good friends, went through the internet bubble together, spent time with a lot of common friends, but the coolest thing of all is that our stories

I thought i'd post a blog entry summarizing the past period, so here it goes ;) Basically, it was more and more of the usual, lol, work from 8AM to 3PM, lunch at home, sleep or watch movie, go out or watch movie, have a cool night out or watch a movie, lol... But, there were some rather cool things that happened, which are: - We got a DVD player as a late wedding gift, so no more movie nights

We were having lunch at a fast food joint yesterday, when a familiar tune started playing on one of the music channels, it was "Aicha" by Khaled, but this time around it was sung by 3 guys i never saw before and it was in English. It turns out these guys are a group from Denmark called Outlandish, with roots from Morocco, Pakistan & Honduras. I like their cover of the song, and they have quite

Just finished watching "The Recruit" featuring Al Pacino and Colin Farrell, and i must say it was quite a good and entertaining movie. I was a bit worried when renting it as i read some posts on IMDB likening it to Spy Game, but this one was better. I liked the way they kept twisting the story, it has the most twists i've ever seen in one movie, but what's cool is that they were able to carry

Well, yesterday was a good day, our AC finally got installed, and the bedroom became heavenly cool :) It really was worth the wait, and even though these days aren't that hot in Tunisia, i just know we'll be needing it more and more as we go further into July and then August, and hell starts opening its doors again... It was a noisy procedure installing it, and one of the neighbours started

Have you ever allowed yourself to spend every penny in your pocket, feeling safe that you have money in your bank account and that you can use your ATM card at any moment to get the cash you need ? and have you ever gone to an ATM with an empty pocket and that feeling of safety only to be turned down because of a connection failure or whatever other reason and then hit by the fact that you're

We went out to a cool club in Gammarth on Saturday night called "Trinidad Club" with some of our friends. It's very stylish, very cool, very high class, and of course you can only imagine it'd also be very expensive, the thought that drove me close to a heart attack as soon as i walked through the door, especially as i only had 20 Dinars on me, lol... The place has a swimming pool, a café, a

Watched Jaws 3 again on saturday, don't ask why, my wife and i just thought it would be a cool DVD to rent, so we did, but now that i've seen it, i'm not so sure that was a good idea anymore :P The special effects look unfinished as if the rendering phase was totally skipped, there is no story, you barely ever see the shark, and all you actually see is bits and pieces of humans floating around

Anyway, here i am, in my last Training day, still waiting for the clients who are late again, which is actually good for me as i have 6 hours to talk about security in this Website Management Solution our company developed, a concept that barely exists in it, and which would actually take me a maximum of half an

Have you ever been to a place so overcrowded you end up stepping on your own toes ? Well, if not, then you obviously haven't visited Carrefour in Tunisia (a Mega Mall we have here) on the first day of the month. Everyone just got their paychecks, and they're all out there at Carrefour to spend every millime (cent) of it like crazy on stuff they mostly don't need, but are buying anyways because

It's incredible how wrong a person can be when he thinks: "Things can't get any worse than this !", coz they can, this heat seems to keep wanting to out-do itself day after day, making life miserable for us mortals... Just came back from checking out a number of ACs and their prices, and well i feel like kicking myself in the head for not buying that unionaire AC in the beginning of the summer

Just finished resting after 3 days of attending the first North Africa Developer Conference in Tunis/Tunisia. It was quite tiresome but very interesting. It was held at the Renaissance hotel in Gammarth, overlooking a beautiful golden beach. Most of the talk was about Web Services and how they're the next big thing and how they're going to blow all our worries away, and that asp.net is the
