We are Not Going to Take it!

After waiting having a tough and long labour process involving waiting and staring at watches that stopped working I finally got her. She weight just over 4.6lbs and is 15″. I have named her Connie (short for Conduit).

Ah the joy she brings me in holding her. I know some other will be getting same ones soon. I hope they bring as much and more joy.

All I need now is a Hello Kitty stick to put on her.

Yesterday I participated in the DILO project. What it entails is me taking pictures of day.

My focus on DILO day is to get my PowerBook. They kept it at customs at the airport so had to go in and free her. The day was prety much my basic day in Kuwait. Work during the day, advice some family time during the afternoon then friends at night for cards.

With Mothers day being yesterday and hearing this story on the radio :phthisiatrician ,2-10-1462_1679126, health 00.html”>Blind sons get mom’s corneas. The rest of the story for the title is the mother killed herself in order for the donation to happen. By doing that the doctors were able to take her 2 corneas and place 1 each for her 2 blind sons.

That just gives me chills. They can talk about a the fury and rage of a women scorned, but they cant come up with enough words to describe their love.

Its great having a new laptop. There is soo much freedom with this one, cheap my last one really hit EOL I had to keep it plugged in to a power supply at all times cause the battery died, the 12″ screen was limiting, not including the hard disk space of 0 and just the bloat. I could have easily fixed most of those problem with a good format and reinstall but it wasn’t worth it for what I was doing with it.

Connie is just blowing me away with its abilities and I still haven’t used 1/2 of them yet. Slowly doing more stuff here and there. My main issue is the screen and mouse. Zoe (my old iBook short for Zealot) was 12″ and since it turned to desktop of with the iCurve and using a regular mouse for it moving around the screen was easy. With Connie its never ends I have it on fastest and just have to keep moving my finger to get to one end to another. The screen is just huge and the screen size I am using is 1240 compared to 1024 on Zoe. But I LOVE it I get to see more on the screen just annoying making that window active.

Lately I been downloading stuff and messing with the BSD Darwin core, added MySQL and set up PHP so I can install web apps and mess with them before I put them online. Its really fun.

I also downloaded DosBox which is a DOS Emu so I can run some old games like X-Com Enemy Unkown, Transport Tycoon, Master of Orion and Master of Magic. As you can see my gaming days stopped around 1997. Games back then had more style in terms of thinking and planning, the ones now are just cut and slash without any real substance. I haven’t seen any game lately that I want to get. Though I have sworn when Duke Nukem Forever comes out I will get a PC with the spec to play it.

Also with Connie I am spending more time with the family kinda. Before I would go to my room and hide there on the computer. Now I spend time in the family room. We got wireless and also 2 other laptops that my parents use. So we sit around on our computers talk and watch tv. Some my say that is anti social since we are doing our own thing, but I feel its good. Sometimes you dont have to talk to people your close to, you just want to be around them. Gives you a sense of security and reassurance.

I still need to get a bag for Connie. Going to get this Timbuk2 one that is a laptop tote or something. Its a case with handles on top. This way I can carry it seperate from my messenger bag or have it placed inside it.

Tiredness time for sleep.

I work in Shuwaik, unhealthy site so the roads here suck, here
and people who drive on them suck even more. So just a couple minutes ago I snapped. I am driving on the right side of the road (cause we live in Kuwait not England or Japan) to my work. And this guy is coming straight at me. So I stop and start honking. Then he squeezes to the right of me and starts passing. I honk more roll down my window and shout at him. Explaining him in Kuwait that the right side of the road is for traffic going my direction, he smiles and says he is sorry and stuff, I keep shouting at him. That they are traffic laws and such. He smiles and nods apologizes and moves and then gets on the his right side of the road.

I am not going to take these stupid infractions anymore as a public citizen I am going to enforce the broken window system.

If the first broken window in a building is not repaired, the people who like breaking windows will assume that no one cares about the building and more windows will be broken. Soon the building will have no windows. (Wilson and Kelling, 1982).

Its these small minor infractions that are causing accidents and even bigger infractions. Our streets have thrown away logic and order and disorder now has become the norm. We shrug when we someone runs a red light, or cause they missed and exit and reverse on the main road back to it. Even when they drive on the emergency lane during rush hour.

These things need to stop, and the only way is if we start getting angry. So honk when we seen stupid infractions and make sure the person knows they did something wrong.

  1. Not only is traffic a nightmare nowadays, but add to it all the novice drivers who are out there as well; it’s a wonder how they passed their driver’s test.
    Honk all you want. I do.

  2. People dont like scenes or being told they did something wrong. They do it because they can, once you get them in that position, they regret it.

    Its about getting them to admit they did something wrong and know it.

  3. my dad always uses the emergency lane wen we go to skool everymorn
    if he dun’t use it we’ll be late and then i’d have to wait for 1 and a 1/2 hrs missing 2 classes . My mum is like neva break the law kind a person neva uses the emergency lane ever and we are always late for skool
    and thoes of u who are thinkin’ wake up a bit more early it’s no use we have 1 bath room (well 2 actually but no one every uses the other one there was an incident and now everyone thinks there’s a spirit in there)and 8 family members who got to get to places rite bout the same tyme
    sumtymes u just have to use it the ane i.e besides everyone uses the emergency lane round that tyme it becomes part of the main road

  4. I think the emergency lane is the reason for the more traffic. It creates a bottle neck later down the road. I really believe if people moved according to traffic rules and didn’t try to cut into turn lanes, or use the emergency lanes you would see a more flowing motorway.

  5. hey wat bout the police men who park there cars on the lane scaring all the drivers who get nervous and more cautious bout driving ,driving slower than usuall creating traffic and this didn’t just happen once and it really pisses me off

  6. “So honk when we seen stupid infractions and make sure the person knows they did something wrong.”

    Wow, you fucking rebel. Sign an online petition while you’re at it, those things always work!

  7. Latifa.

    1. Your excuse for using the emergency lane is because there is a spirit in your 2nd bathroom??

    2. “scaring all the drivers who get nervous and more cautious bout driving ,driving slower than usuall creating traffic”.
    You mean driving normally! People follow the rules when the cops are around AND the majority of traffic issues are the accidents that happen, and those are not caused by spirits/cops… they are caused by bad drivers.

    You want to fix traffic issues, develop a great public transportation system; either that or get rid of the spirit in your second bathroom.

    Oilrig! Your back!
    Yeah, Nibaq can honk his horn all he wants. When I read the Wilson and Kelling thing, I figured he was going to start breaking car windows. Then he goes and ruins it by telling you to honk … that only leads to everybody honking like maniacs (NY).

  8. Honking is just needed to get their attention, you have to follow it with loud shouts telling them they are doing something wrong, or then your just an another asshole honking.

    We need is a monorail. One that goes from Kuwait City to Salmiya/Jabriya, then with expansion to Faheel vis Istiqlal Road.

    Another one that is from the Airport to Kuwait City.

    Then you have one from Salmiya down to Shuwaik on the 4th ring linking those 2 system.

  9. “Honking is just needed to get their attention, you have to follow it with loud shouts telling them they are doing something wrong, or then your just an another asshole honking.”

    Great, then you’re just an asshole honking and yelling. I’d have to have pretty low self esteem if I felt humiliated by some goddamn tailgater I will never meet again telling me I can’t drive.

  10. I live in NY. Honking is a daily thing here. Its annoying as all hell too! SO why would I want to honk :). But I”ll honk at you :-p
