Pakistan’s Haier Edukation Instillations, Kwality Ashorance and PTCL Broadband

Sohaib Athar3 Comments

I read about HEC's discounted rates for the PTCL broadband for people affiliated with their institutes, and was going to ask my younger brother (who teaches at NUCES) to get me a connection, but it turned out that their ONLINE subscription form link is dead.

No, I didn’t spot any genius in the writing.
No, I don’t see what the fuss is all about.
Yes, I feel that every blog post (this one included) that has nothing intelligent to say should be considered spam.
No, I don’t want to hear about how bad your last few hours were while you waited for the book to arrive.
Yes, I’m glad its finally over.
No, I won’t watch the movie.
Yes, Rowling loves you.

Moving hosting to Linux

Sohaib Athar

I’ve had enough of webhost4life and Windows hosting, and will be moving to a (borrowed) Linux based server today. The move will change the DNS, so the blog may be inaccessible for a day or so.
I’ll leave this subdomain running for a while, but I’m expecting the URLs to get prettier (no more /index.php/), so check https://reallyvirtual.com tomorrow to update your feed/bookmarks etc.

There this Indonesian Lotte Puzzle gum sold for Rs.10 (18 cents) these days which comes with two gum sticks and a cardboard/plastic model/puzzle pieces that my son really likes. Last week we got the Taj Mahal, this week it was the Empire State Building. There are no instructions (uh its a puzzle), so I saved some time by (secretly) cheating and made this:

I didn’t get my gum share though :-/
