Here’s another one of those “wow! why didn’t someone think of that before” ideas. I could have really used something like this at x point in my life,  In University, instead of drawing little arrows pointing to what your should remember you could’ve used these sheer Post-It notes to actually circle the blurb of text and remove any doubt of what I had to memorize when it was time to cram for exams. it going to cost you around KD3.750 for pack of 12 sheets.

Yes, it arrived yesterday with the wheel too! what can i say?! Hmmm.. I have been a fan of Mario Kart ever since it first came out. Before this game came out, the best one, hands down was Mario Kart 64. This game takes the Game Cube version, improves it, and adds all of the elements that made the game famous in the first place.

The wheel is a great toss in, and is fun to play with, and the response is much more accurate than expected. Even better is that you can go online and play different people from around the world in versus mode or battle mode. This is so much fun when you don’t have someone you can play with at home… all you have to do is go online and you can play whoever you want. If you have a friend that has a Wii you can add their friend code and race each other too.

My Score:
Graphics – 4.5
Audio – 5
Replay – 5
Fun – 5
Controls – 5

Overall 5/5 (its a must for a wii owner!)

Today ANM went to our co-op and found that there is a car-washing service called ProntoWash. I think its a pretty good idea to just park your car, go get some things done and in around 30-40 minutes your car can look shinny and clean!

They also offer:

• Premium hand wash detailing.
• Hand Wax & Polishing.
• Upholstery cleaning & Carpet shampooing.
• Vinyl & Leather conditioning.
• A/C Sanitization.
• Advance Technology: Biodegradable Products.

For more info you can call them 806006

Thanks ANM

Ladies, I think this will help you alot! instead of throwing or storing your old unwanted bags, this site will help you get rid of them by buying the bags and paying you in cash!

Walla i think its a nice idea. If there is a bag we don’t need anymore why keep it in the closet?

For more info click HERE.

This site is offering driving simulator with google maps. Its kinda funny when you control the car with the arrows and space for accelerator. you can drive in your own area! Mishref, khaldeya… ect.

Check it out HERE.

I was in the belajat street with my wife the other day and I noticed some new kind of traffic lights with 3 reds in them and they flash continuously. When I got a bit closer I read a sign nearby that says something like “if you see the flashing lights you should come to a complete stop! coz it means either the Amir is coming in or getting out of his house. They are located in front of the dar salwa palace.

And today i got a phone call from Ali saying the same thing, plus, now they are adding some kind of a bridge (I don’t know what to call it) with some sensors or cameras, I’m not sure what’s their purpose. Ali said that these little bridges are being constructed in Fahahel high way. Any one knows what are these thing for?

Thank you Ali.

Why are USWS trying their best to do a bad job?! today i found one more thing to add to their list of flaws. 9K2HN told me the other day that something was up with USWS’ exchange rates, so today when I was paying my bill I noticed my bill was $41 and when converted by them it was KD12.71.

I did the calculations and it turned out they’re using a rate of 0.31 for all of their exchanges!! Guys the exchange rate nowadays is 0.261! (check the pic above USD1 = KD0.261) waain ga3deeen?! mo chethy ashkara 3ad!

Finally my Blackberry 8320 arrived! I received it today from USWS (BTW They SUCK! from the time they moved to their new location everything got messed up!) Before i got it, I went to Zain and subscribed with them, It costs KD14 for local usage with 1 GB download, if you exceed it you’ll be charged 2 fils for each MegaByte, which means every GB will cost you KD2). The international package is 28kd a month.

Whats comes in the box:

• Blackberry 8320.
• USB cable.
• Charger.
• Hands free.
• CD & manuals.

I ordered a charging pod which looks so sexy! Its coated with chrome, I really love it!

Just for the record, I bought mine for only KD125 and ZAIN are selling the older model of this BB the one without wifi for KD238 and its out of stock now. What a rip off! I’ve also installed the arabic fonts and now I’m able to read Arabic messages and websites.

over all i’m giving it 4.5/5 (due to its perfect functions!). It keeps you busy all the time

Is it REAL? Have anybody tried it? I think this will help Tarsheed with their campaign

Thanks INM

This is the tracking section in my dashboard. Do you know whats the best part of ordering something online?  It’s when you track it to your mailbox and once it’s in there you start calling Aramex or USWS and start annoying them to ship it! amoooot 3al 7annaa ana !

Remember few months ago i posted the estimated price of our domain? our domain was worth a mere $100 just back then, guess how much it increased?! ITS $2,010! we doubled.. ay doubled! multiply by 20!

In less than three months we went from $100 to $2000 which is SO GOOD!

Thank you guys for supporting us!

Its the port number! Change the port number!

I called Zain many times even went to their branches and talked to lots of sales agents and their technical support department.. All with no luck of finding a solution to the not being able to receive emails through email clients (Outlook, Mail…etc) problem.

This weekend when we were talking about this problem, Hamad told me something about changing the port, then Khalid told me that he’s been using Ego with no such problem, He also said something about the port number. Finally he gave me the port number he’s been using and.. just like that.. it worked!

My Gmail, Mac and personal domain all worked with outgoing server port #587.

Thanks a lot Khalid!

Note: If this doesn’t help, you will most probably find This post helpful.

Remember what me & Yousef wrote a couple of weeks ago regarding the problem with Zain’s account? that we cant send any emails from our applications when we’re on their ego or routers?

Now this problem is OVER! Thanks to our loyal reader Andrew who wrote in this comment to my Zain router review post:

“I phoned Zain about this and was speaking to a guy who, coincidentally, also uses his own domain name for his personal email. He told me that Zain don’t provide an outgoing SMTP server. So I just signed up for smtp2go.com (US$1.99/month) and it’s working well.”

Walla after i read his comment i went directly to Smtp2go.com and registered with them and its WORKING NOW! The registration process takes only secs.

They have a couple of packages there which are:

Again my thanks goes to Andrew

I bought a nice JanSport laptop bag the other day from Carbon Fiber and was very happy with it. That same week I received my other Canon backpack for my SLR camera and was happy with it as well. But, After carrying them both 3alagalby today from one place to another I realized that I did not give it enough thought. I don’t want to be going around carrying 2 bags all the time. what if I’m traveling? or going somewhere where I need both my camera and my laptop?

I saw this Case Logic backpack in Ashraf, The one near the Sheraton, Its the bag that I should’ve bought in the first place! It stores an SLR Camera, 5 Lenses plus a Laptop. I also really liked how it looked and felt, real quality. I just wanted grab the thing, pay for it and get it over with!

But I’d feel guilty.. I just bought 2 bags!

Here is how you do it:

• Go to installer.
• Go to sources.
• Add this source http://apps.q8dusty.com
• Go to install.

• Search for folder Q8Dusty you will find two things 1. Arabic Menu: which will transfer all your interface to Arabic. 2. iPhone Arabizer: this will let you write/read arabic sms’s from your original application.

So install what you want and then restart.

P.S. i’ve tried it on both versions 1.0.2 and 1.1.3 and both are working.

You will be able to read arabic fonts in:

• Contacts.
• Safari.
• SMS.

Getting a flat tire on your car always sucks. I don’t care where you are, it’s never fun to change a tire. Usually the worst part is actually trying to jack your car up so you can take off the wheel ((9K2HN do you remember  Abdili road))

Usually you’ll find the worst excuse for a car jack known to man in your trunk. You know the kind, they have some kind of rod that you have to twist about three hundred times, then you get to do it all again when you’re done changing the tire. I believe I’ve found the coolest jack ever.

It gonna cost you around KD34. I think its worth it.

Check out this video its REALLY amazing!

Thanks 9K2HN

Why do all hangers look alike even though clothes come in all kinds of crazy shapes? Sleeveless tops (especially ones made of slipper fabric) and wide-necked tops and dresses are especially difficult — they slip off and end up on the floor with the dust mites.

These flexible hangers are such an obvious idea – hangers that you can twist into different shapes to accommodate your clothing. KD3.750 for a set of 6 from Amazon.

Thank you Ahmad & Welcome back

I’ve been wanting to buy a lens for awhile now, I asked around a lot and been given lots of great advices (thanks btw), But as always, I spend a lot of time in hesitation. Around a week ago I finally settled and knew what I really need. I needed to buy 2 lenses and a good camera bag to contain everything! I went to amazon and placed an order for a canon 28-135mm with IS & another canon but this time a macro 100mm. The first one will replace my current lens and its probably going to be the one I use the most. The macro on the other hand is a stone winner! it turns every dull little picture into an achievement in photography! yeah i’m sad to admit this but the camera does most of the magic.

I’m loving both lenses at the moment and been taking some good picture in the chalet (a good post with our infamous wrangler is coming up soon ).

I need to buy 2 more essential things, I need a great cleaning kit and another battery. maybe a bigger CF card too.

Here are some pictures I took while playing around with the Macro lens.
