Darth Vader in the “House”!

Holy Shit! It’s James Earl Jones appearing in the latest episode of House!
That voice, even after 30 years, is the most powerful and commanding voice in the whole frakking Galaxy; this one or the other one Far Far Away. There is even a bit of “Darth Vader breathing” in there!
Try reading the following [...]

Sorrow

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land…
What can I say more than that?

Enter “Metis”

This is the first post I’m writing from my new cellphone, Metis (using built-in wi-fi and cellphone keypad.)
Hi people!

Dunmanifestin

In my humble opinion, “dunmanifestin” is the second most funny word in the world, based on amount of humor per letter (I just started re-re-rereading “Colour of Magic”!)
Of course, I’m pretty sure that no other word can contest the hilarity content of “Ni“.
What?! You don’t know what that is? Get your head out of your…the [...]

How Do You Reply Emails?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
Top-posting is, in short, the practice of putting the reply above the original message in electronic communication. Many of my friends top-post, and I believe most of [...]

Days of Yore

CCC 5

I’ve heard rumors that IAUM-CCC is going to be held again this summer, which will be the fifth such event. For the uninitiated, IAUM-CCC is an annual computer programming competition among Iranian (~)students, held in Azad University of Mashhad.
The first round will be online, supposedly before the end of Tir (around mid-July) and the final [...]

The Most Useless Three Letters

What would you answer if I asked you what the most useless, pointless, mind-numbingly stupid three letters that people utter left and right were, what would you answer? (No, I don’t mean ‘g’, ‘o’, ‘d’!)
Of course it’s “www”. Do those people that still put these letters in front of every web address (and non-web addresses [...]

Back to Blue Bayou

Yesterday was a sad day. Not only because it was the day I was born (and not at all because it was also the day Bill Gates was born!) but because I was moving yet again.
I have lived in Tehran the past 13 months. The move originally was an escape from a dead-end job and [...]

Going Off the Radar

For reasons that many of you (if the number of people that read my blog can indeed be counted as many) know already, I’ll be moving back to Mashhad in a month. The month is for me to tie some loose ends over here at work and help the project I’m involved in as much [...]
