I started to look at PHP and mySQL today, seems like a pretty powerful combination. Only if I could find a free host that serves mySQL and PHP without ads… hah…
But inshallah I’ll find someway…
I’d like to make my comments program using mySQL, either with CGI or PHP…
it’ll be much faster and easier…

The Prime Minister has now introduced an ethics code. This is sad. Ethics codes have to be issued, our politicians don’t have the brains to be ethical without having a book issued by the leader of the party telling them how to act.
Shouldn’t politicians be ethical regardless of whether the “code” is there or not?

A good article in Arab News about Pakistan’s political situation. Written by Fatima Najm.

“But a benevolent dictatorship may be far better than a corrupt democracy. The skeptics are good for a developing society; it’s the cynics who cause problems.”

“So far Musharraf has been a man of his word. And that is what we need. What we don’t need is the international community forcing a Western-style democracy down our throats.”

good stuff… a must read…

I’m tired of the politics that our government plays. It’s sickening. Who are they serving? The public or themselves?
Why are they out to grab the credit for a job, even when it’s not yet complete. It’s not important for them to finish the job, just who “introduced” it is what matters.
It’s sick, pathetic and disgusting.
The Governments first goal should be to take care of the public and not itself…

After having written scorekeeping programs, match making programs, phone book programs, and chatting programs in Java , I returned to IBM’s Visual Age for Java IDE to do some more programming. I haven’t touched it in about a full year. I was rendered clueless. I had no idea where to begin or what to do. Stumped, bewildered, pertified, confused, dazed, discombobulated, lost… you get the meaning. So now I have to re-learn the language now. blah…
