Spamassassin is easy
I was planning to install spamassassin+amavisd+clamav on our mail server for a long time, but every time I try to do it, I quit after few tries.
But finally I got it, and it isn’t that hard at all, although I don’t understand everything yet, but it seems easy. Hopefully I’ll add some configuration hints for FreeBSD of course.
Spamassassin is SPAM mail detection software, it became the de facto standard in SPAM fighting.

BBCArabic RSS newsfeed
Finnaly I can remove my old BBC parsing script and replace it with RSS feed.
Arabic BBC RSS
I also found (from BBC links) a nice software for reading RSS called SharpReader, I didn’t try it but it looks cool!

Remove Spyware from your Window machine
If you use MS Internet Explorer and you have one of the following:
Many toolbars that you didn’t install, and you couldn’t remove. Pop-up windows from nowhere, coming from all Internet web sites, even the ones you know they didn’t have any. Slow machine. Slow connection. Then you diffently need to install Lavasoft AD-Aware, and remove all the ad, and spywares.
Just try it.

Car accident update
I went to the traffic department to follow-up on my car accident report, I was told that the guy who hit me came and gave them his insurance -which won’t help since he escaped-, and they told me to go Car dealer (Al Hamza, Sheikh Almared) to get an estimate for the car repair.
After search for 20 minutes for the car dealer shop -the shop didn’t have a banner!

My car crashed by drunk driver
On my way to my parents home to help my sister with her math exam a drunk driver (I think) hit my car and escaped! I stopped him, and called the cups, they told me to get his car plate and leave him.
My friends told me that I am not going to get any money to repair my car from him, but I’ll try my best with the traffic department to catch him.
