    Give Me a Break

    Since I am doing some business on internet, I have been scammed several times. Recently I was scammed again. To make a long story short, I paid $135 to a seller and got nothing in return.

    Someone from India was selling a vBulletin license on Digital Point Forums. He wanted $135 for the license and I paid him via MoneyBookers.com, only to never hear from him again. An expensive lesson learnt - always use escrow services if you must do business with strangers.

    Another tragedy happened earlier this week when LCD of my camcorder was cracked. Service centre told me that replacement LCD will arrive in two weeks and will cost me around $200.

    Waiting for Lecture

    Professor Ahmad Rafique Akhtar is a great Islamic scholar. I have attended his lectures, read his books, and got his DVDs. The breadth of his knowledge is astounding; I believe he has read thousands and thousands of books. I especially like the question and answer session after the lecture.
    I am glad that he is coming to Lahore again for a Lecture. His lecture is in Islamabad on May 19th and in Lahore on May 25th. News Source: Alamaat.com

    His Publications (e-books) - Audio Gallery - Video Gallery

    I have uploaded a small video clip of question and answer session on YouTube


    Getting Old

    I am getting old and now I cannot hear 17khz Mosquito Ring Tones. What about you? And if you don’t know what mosquito ring tone is, I have Googled it for you.

    An article in New York Times (excerpts)


    A ring tone that many adults cannot hear

    In settings where cellphone use is forbidden — in class, for example — it is perfect for signaling the arrival of a text message without being detected by an elder of the species.

    The technology, which relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds

    It is called Mosquitotone, and it is now advertised as "the authentic Mosquito ring tone."

    Limousine Rickshaw

    Tonight I saw a rickshaw on the road in which there was a LCD TV and DVD player. The TV was installed just to the left of driver, literally in front of his eyes. The driver was smiling at those admiring his TV. Why there are no tickets from traffic police for such things?
    My digital camera and phone was not with me so I cannot bore you with picture of the rickshaw.
