PostgreSQL 8 released
Many new improvements but the most important to me is the native support for Windows platform, not that people will start using it in production in Windows, but it will allow more people to use and play with it.
I wonder about the status of the replication system.
What’s new in 8.0
PostgreSQL new website
PostgreSQL launched a new good looking website, it look more professional 🙂
PostgreSQL if you don’t know it, is the open source Oracle database server. It has many advance features not currently found on MySQL.
Eezee Net phone numbers
Today EezeeNet phone numbers will be announced for all ISPs, the phone numbers start with 366 instead of 368 announced earlier.
EezeeNet is dialup service provided by STC to allow customers to connect to the Internet without having ISP account, of course ISP will share the profit with STC for the connection, it costs 3 Riyals per hour, and I guess the ISP share is .65
any way I’ll post the given numbers earlier this day insha Allah.
My annoying neighbor
Yesterday, at 12:00 am while me and my wife watch TV, the guy living in the apartment above mine start drilling, I start complaining to my wife saying what insensitive neighbor he is. At first I said it won’t take long, few minutes and he will be over, but the noise didn’t stop and it became very annoying.
At 1:00 am I decided to go to bed and ignore that noise, the strangest thing happened, I didn’t hear any noise, I went back to the living room to find out that all this noise was coming from an electric tooth brush connected their, which I drop (and apparently broke) few days ago, and it start working and stopping by it self.
Sorry neighbor.

Finally I sent my camera to maintenance
My digital Canon camera LCD display got very dark, It was very hard to see even in the night, so I decide I should send it before the warranty expires, I went to three stores to find the right store for maintenance, they will sent it to Jeddah, and it will take from 2 to 3 weeks.
I hope they fix it.
