UPDATE:

I’ve changed the unit from Gallon to Barrel thanks to Purgatory!

Yes they lowered their fees to 100 fils when your using any of their ATM machines, They used to be 200 fils or 150 fils depends on the bank that your dealing with but now it will be the same at any bank ATM which is good thing.

Hi all, Yesterday we changed hosting companies. We were hosted by wordpress and now godaddy. The move have caused some things not work properly and other things went missing. We’re still going to work on the site, meaning we’re gonna change the theme, the header and maybe everything else, but we’re going to take our time doing all this stuff, we’re still pretty illiterate when it comes to these types of stuff. But, atleast now we’re done with the thing we were most worried about.

We’d like to thank 9K2HN for helping us with this move… Actually, he didn’t help us, I think it was more like.. we stepped aside and let him take control. If it weren’t for him, we probably would still be talking to that guy from bluehost through their live chat 😛 Thankyou.

I’m in love with every thing that comes in a 2 in 1. This time its a ladder + iron table. Isn’t this sweet?! I’m thinking of getting one.

if you want one it gonna cost you around KD27 (but i’m afraid the USWS shipping price will ruin the fun?)

Firefox are planning to set a Guinness World Record by orchestrating a download day for their much anticipated (not by me) Firefox 3. You can go to their website and read more about it, and maybe participate in the pledge yourself and sign up for a reminder. I did. Not sure why, knowing that I don’t use firefox… I think I just wanted to be part of this thing! 😀

Up to now There are 244 Kuwaiti pledges.

Thanks Pure.

Today i got a phone call from 9K2HN telling me that Amex now accepts online payments! Yes finally! i did login to my account and found this:

As you can see above they are accepting K-Net for Kuwait as an option, i didnt try it yet but according to 9K2HN the exchange rate was something around 0.269 which is fair in my opinion.

Anyway Thanks a lot 9K2HN for this ebsharaaa 😛

Here is a little silly website that enables you to change google’s interface and make it your own. It also have easy access links to various email services too like Gmail, Hotmail and 2 others. Give it a try HERE. 

My version ^ How original, huh? 😛

Thanks Taymoor.

i was reading Al-qabas news paper and found out that M.O.C is trying to ban Skype in Kuwait .. So i went to my phone and did some calls to the US but it’s still working! Has anyone any problem with his Skype account?!

Couple days ago me and Yousef decided to transfer our blog to wordpress.org so that we get more control and options on our blog but Yousef faced some issues such as the old posts?! How could we transfer them .. (( i mean the text and pictures)) coz now i think the only way we could is to transfer the text and uploading the pics manually for the old posts which will takes ages! So any one tried it? i mean to transfer from .COM to .ORG? whats the steps? and for the hosting we’re considering DreamHost.

We appreciate your help guys 😛

40,000 Hits! 😀

We’re very excited to share this month’s stats with you guys and would like to thank all of you, our readers, for the support you’ve shown, and would also like to thank those who have contributed to this site and helped us with their valuable comments & inputs.

We appreciate you all. 🙂

We were at the barber today and I told my cousin about Skype and how we can use the software to talk to each others while I’m away through audio chat and how its a good software for chatting…etc. Then someone there told my cousin that they sell skype credits in Alshamiya Co-op. For those of you who use this program but can’t buy credits online coz of their credit cards not being american issued, this info could really be helpful, if proved to be true. He said just go to Alshamiya co-op and ask for the skype cards and they’ll tell you where to find em.

Can anyone confirm this info? And can Skype credits be bought anywhere else in Kuwait?

Skype

This is my first attempt at HDR.

i found this site ewasfat which i think is pretty good and helpful for those of you who love to cook. Its an online recipes source, they claim that they have more than 1000 recipes. Most of the recipes are from the Arabian cuisine.

Thanks 9K2HN

the Snap Capp is something very special, and yet is so simple. Simply put, the Snap Capp is “a plastic re-closable top designed to snap onto virtually all 12 and 16 ounce aluminum beverage cans”.
The Snap Capp also comes in handy on picnics or other outdoor outings. You may have noticed that when an open can is left out in the open, bees and other bugs sense the sugar and love to fly in.

Here how it works .. i think its pretty smart idea!

You should be able to pick up 3-packs for around KD2.600 HERE but its still not available 😛

Thanks INM

UPDATE:

According to one of our readers they are available HERE.

Thanks DVLz

Found it on my referrers’ list. This is exciting 😀

I just placed an order for 2 lenses on amazon. I bought both the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 and the Sigma wide angle zoom lens. I tried them both with a friend and I liked them. I’m hoping the 50mm would help me take indoor pictures when the room isn’t very well lit, I’m also hoping that I won’t be needing to doctor the images anymore so they won’t appear yellowish. I also liked how the lens focuses on the object at hand and gives this blurry affect to the backdrop, the blurriness is more pronounced with this lens than any other lens I tried.

I think I’m getting a good deal on the wide angle lens coz the package I’m buying also includes a vertical grip (is that what its called?), 2 extra batteries, a mini tripod and some other things.

Thank You ::: ShoSho ::: & HKR for helping me decide 🙂

Today INM received a couple of packages from aramex with a total bill of KD21.750 so he gave the driver KD30, the driver went to his car and came back and asked INM if he had any change, he didn’t and it’s kinda not his problem, I mean if you dont have change then make the bill like KD20 and then ther wont’ be a need for the change! 😛 But then the driver asked if its ok to pay using Knet, W didn’t know they can use Knet! So INM went ahead and paid him.

They started this service for almost 3 months ago. I hope they add this service online also o neftaak men USWS!

Thanks INM
