A while ago I tried tunneling proxy conection though ssh, you asked why … because ssh have a neat compression feature, it will compress all ssh communication between your client and the ssh server, and by tunneling HTTP proxy trafic through ssh you can speed up HTML page loading time, you can really see the difference. Any way I had a problem of having to run ssh client every time I want to use the Internet, even when you want to check one small thing, it was kind of anoying to change the proxy from the localhost (thought tunneling) and connecting directly to the SAUDI NET proxy server.

Misfer our talented designer designed new Under Construction page, this page will be the default page when the customer create new myweb account.

Two days ago I talked with my brother Fouad about Blogger and it features, he couldn’t grasp the concept at first, but he subscribed to it, and played with it, and he created his first weblog. Fouad isn’t computer savy, and he found Blogger useful may be you should try it your self if you didn’t yet. I didn’t get the URL of Fouad Blogger yet, I’ll publish as soon as I get it.

I forwarded request to www.rayed.com to http://myweb.saudi.net.sa/rayed, for the following reasons: To promote using myweb service provided by SAUDI NET. To replace my own blogging software with Blogger, I know I can make Blogger publish to rayed.com directly, but I didn’t want to publish in two locations. I also migrated all entries from the my own software to Blogger, so nothing lost. (as if there anything worth saving!) The most important one, is because myweb.

and this time from GMail.com

Although I liked the old one, but the new is really cool, the colors are great, the interface seems more logical, and they got rid of the HTML frames.

I forgot to mention this earlier, but one week ago when I logged in to Blogger.com I got an invetation to try Gmail.com service, if you never heared of Gmail before, it is a webmail service provided by google.com and they give 1GB of space.

Blogger is really very nice service 🙂 I entred this entry by sending an email message to special email e.g xxxx@blogger.com, and it just posted it to my web site, I start to love these guys.

SAUDI NET web site is really bad, we are trying to replace it since … well forever actually but we couldn’t, the marketing people signed a contract (!!!) with external company to deveploe the website. and we are still waiting, it is really bad, and every time I see it I get very angry 🙁

The weather was nice and we witnesed a lonar eclipse too … unfortunately I forgot to take a picture for the eclipse 🙁 Check out other pictures
