This is the tracking section in my dashboard. Do you know whats the best part of ordering something online?ย  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 ! ๐Ÿ˜›

 





“Apple on Monday updated its iMac family with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn mobile processors and the most powerful graphics ever available in the all-in-one desktop line.

With prices starting at just $1,199, the new iMacs also include 6MB L2 cache, a faster 1066 MHz front-side bus, and 2GB of memory standard in most models (expandable to 4GB).”

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?! ๐Ÿ˜› ๐Ÿ˜› 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! ๐Ÿ˜›

Thank you guys for supporting us! ๐Ÿ˜›

 





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. ๐Ÿ˜€

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:

Available Plans Emails Price
Standard 50 per day $3.99 $1.99 / month ($23.88 / year)
Freedom 150 per day $6.99 $3.49 / month ($39.88 / year)
Professional 300 per day $9.99 $4.99 / month ($59.88 / year)

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! ๐Ÿ˜ก

 





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 donโ€™t care where you are, itโ€™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 rememberย  Abdili road)) ๐Ÿ™‚

Usually youโ€™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 youโ€™re done changing the tire. I believe Iโ€™ve found the coolest jack ever.

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

Want to order? click HERE.

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 ๐Ÿ˜›

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 ๐Ÿ˜› ).

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. ๐Ÿ˜€

 





Finally! You don’t need a US credit card to purchase songs off iTunes store anymore! All you need to do is buy an iTunes gift card from Ebay!

Yesterday I bought a digital iTunes card off ebay and got the code via email. I just went to the iTunes store, redeemed the card and started downloading songs legally! (for a change) it can’t get any easier than this! down with the US credit cards! Hello iTunes cards ๐Ÿ˜€

 





For those of you who love toย see their OS 100% Arabic interfaced, AppleME.ae is offering a full support file for both OS’s, Tiger & Leopard.

If you want to install it & try it out yourself just click HERE.

Since the weather has been shifting to madness by the second I thought you might find this site, KuwaitStorm, helpful to decide whether to stay indoors or go out. I know I’ll be checking it from now on before I make posts like “Enjoy the weather this weekend.” ๐Ÿ˜›

You might want to check Yahoo Weather too. My brother seems to like it.

Thanks Hamad.

Just imagine EVERYTHING is upside down! ๐Ÿ˜› And YES you can use them while they r flipped! ๐Ÿ˜›

 





I ordered a 4 GB Kingston Ram for my Macbook pro off amazon.com. I went to Youtube and looked around for an easy installation guide and found a good one, I won’t be showing that video in here, Instead I’m doing my own stepbystep post ๐Ÿ˜›

First thing first, Go to whatever site you like to order your desired RAM. Crucial, OWC & Newegg are all good sites, but unfortunately they were a big pain when it came to placing my order. They emailed me asking for a copy of my driver’s license and my (late) visa card. I ignored them and went to amazon and ordered my RAM from kingston. Windows users, there is a good Kingston Helper in there to help you find the suitable RAM for your PCs.

Now lets get to business. make sure you have a tiny philips (cross) screw driver. and i mean tiny!

Flip the laptop and remove the battery.

Now take the screw driver and start undoing the screws. becareful you don’t want to lose any of those tiny things.

Now remove the lid

There are tiny little clips on the left and right holding the RAM down. press them outward, away from the memory to release them.

Once you do so they’ll stick out. Remove them and place your new RAM. Press them down hard and you hear this little “tikk.” (anything other than a little tick means you broke your RAM)

Close the lid and put the screws back. And You’re Done!!! ๐Ÿ˜€

*Now its just plain bragging*

The RAM was $115 when I bought it, now they’re selling it for $95, Link.

 





Today me & Ali were coming back from work and Ali found a new type of petrol machines in the KNPC station. Its located between Mishref and Bayan. He was wondering about new colors so i left my car and went to the employees who were installing it and asked them a couple of questions. I found out that they are introducing 2 more types of fuel, dedicated to our SUPER RICH people for their Super cars.

They are defined as following:

  • Pink Color – Name: Ultra Euro – Cost: 120 Fils/Liter.
  • Orange Color – Name: Ultra Diesel – Cost: 100 Fils/Liter.
  • Green Color – Name: Ultra Super – Cost: 90 Fils/Liter.

Actually the employees there said that they are facing a lot of problems installing the machines & that this station will be the first petrol station to offer these fuel types. So it might takes some time to run them across Kuwait.

Thanks for the picture Ali.

Amazon today introduced TextBuyIt, a new service that lets you use text messages to find and buy products sold on Amazon.com. Simply send a text message to โ€œAMAZONโ€ (262966) with the name of the product, search term or a UPC or ISBN code, and Amazon replies with the product or products that match the search, along with prices. To buy an item, customers simply reply to the text message by entering the unique single digit number next to the item they want. Customers will then receive a short phone call from Amazon with the final details of their order and asking them to confirm or cancel the purchase.When customers choose to purchase something for the first time using TextBuyIt, they will be asked for their e-mail address and shipping ZIP code they use for their Amazon.com account. With this information, Amazon uses customersโ€™ default settings for payment method, shipping address and shipping speed, including 2-Day shipping for Amazon Prime members. (I’m Still unsure whether international orders are accepted or not).

A few days ago i received my Time Capsule, the 500GB version. it was supposed to be shipped at the end of Feb. but due to some version update Apple delayed it till the end of March.

time_capsule_2.jpg

time_capsule_3.jpg

Whats in the box:

  • Time Capsule.
  • Power Cable.
  • Manual.
  • Installation CD.

    time_capsule_4.jpg

    I thought it would fit nicely on top of my Mac Mini, but turned out its a lot wider & thinner. but it looks sexy! ๐Ÿ˜›

    Straight to the point

    Pros:

    • wireless access 24/7 to your storage people! this is soo cool! Im backing up my mac & vista wirelessly!
    • i connected it with my Zain router, so now it acts as my storage PLUS internet. The fact that its Wireless N is making it a very good access point.
    • Its Sexy! its an apple product! yes im considering apple a plus!

      Cons:

      • Syncing. It takes ages to sync wirelessly. backing up my MBP took around 8-10 Hours.

        The 500GB costs KD80 & the 1TB costs KD133.

        I give it a 4 Out of 5.
