My new custom Smilies set

Today I made the decision to design my own set of custom smilies. I have created two of them so far and I am excited to share them with you. In the near future, I will be completing the full set and releasing them here.

Smilies have become an integral part of our online communication, and I believe that having a set of custom smilies can add a personal touch to our online interactions. Whether it’s for a personal or a business use, custom smilies can help us express our emotions, ideas, and personality in a unique and fun way.

I am a graphic designer by profession and I have always been fascinated by the idea of creating something that people can use in their daily lives. This is why I am so excited to be working on my own set of custom smilies. I have put a lot of thought and effort into the design process and I am confident that the final product will be something special.

So, stay tuned for the release of my custom smilies, and I hope that you will enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

ADSL – My First Experience with HamaraSystem

I recently signed up for HamaraSystem, a high-speed internet service provider, and let me tell you, my online experience has been completely transformed!

Before, I was using a dial-up connection, and it was a slow and frustrating experience. Pages took forever to load and forget about streaming videos or downloading music. But with ADSL, everything has changed.

I was a bit skeptical at first because I had heard some horror stories about ISPs not delivering on their promises. But HamaraSystem exceeded my expectations. The installation process was quick and painless, and the modem was up and running in no time.

The speed is simply incredible. I can now download music and movies in a fraction of the time it used to take with my dial-up connection. And streaming videos? Well, it’s a dream come true. No more buffering, no more lag – just smooth and seamless playback.

Of course, there are some limitations. My plan comes with a 2GB transfer limit, which I have to admit, is a bit of a bummer. But it’s a small price to pay for the incredible speed and convenience that ADSL provides.

Overall, I’m extremely happy with my decision to switch to HamaraSystem and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their online experience. If you’re tired of slow and unreliable internet, it’s time to make the switch to ADSL. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

Fall, School, Again

Starting school again after a summer break can be a bittersweet experience for students. While there’s excitement about seeing friends and teachers, there’s also a sense of dread about returning to a structured routine. For me, this year was no different. Despite not having the relaxing summer I wanted, the schools finally resumed and I was faced with the reality of having to spend half of my day in class and the other half at my own disposal.

However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that out of the seven overcrowded classes I was in, only two had 24 students instead of the usual 35. This was a welcome change, as it made the classes feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

As we navigate this new school year, it’s important to remember that our experiences and emotions are valid, no matter what they are. Whether we’re eager to return to school or feeling a sense of hesitation, it’s important to take things one day at a time and make the best of the situation. So, let’s grab our books and get ready to start this new chapter in our lives!

FireFox 2.0

You may have heard of the browser called Firefox, but did you know it started as a little project back in 2002? It was created to give people more choices and freedom online. And that’s how Firefox Version 2 came to be.

The philosophy behind its existence is simple: The web is a crucial part of our lives and deserves a browser that is fast, secure, and customizable. That’s why every feature and design decision in Firefox Version 2 is made with that goal in mind.

From the start, Firefox was built on the principle of openness. It’s open-source, meaning anyone can contribute to its development, and it supports open web standards, making sure the web works for everyone, regardless of the technology they use.

The security features in Firefox Version 2 are also a big part of its philosophy. It protects you from malicious websites and downloads, blocks pop-up windows, and provides private browsing mode. All to give you peace of mind while you browse the web.

Another important aspect of Firefox Version 2’s philosophy is customization. It has a vast collection of add-ons and themes, letting you personalize your browsing experience. From productivity tools to fun extensions, there’s something for everyone.

In conclusion, Firefox Version 2 is not just a browser, it’s a philosophy. A belief in giving people more choices, freedom, and control online. So, if you’re looking for a browser that aligns with your values, give Firefox Version 2 a try.

Assassin’s Creed, A Breakthrough

Yes, you heard that right. The “Assassin’s Creed” franchise has some philosophical depth.

At its core, the game explores the struggle between two ancient societies, the Assassins and the Templars, each with their own distinct beliefs and principles. The Assassins, who value free will and individuality, believe that peace can only be achieved through allowing people to make their own choices. Meanwhile, the Templars, who value order and control, believe that peace can only be achieved through control and manipulation of the masses.

As players, we see this conflict play out in each game, as the two societies engage in a covert war, with each side attempting to gain control over humanity’s future. This struggle raises interesting questions about the balance between freedom and control, and what it means to be a leader.

But it’s not just the storyline that explores these themes. The gameplay itself is designed to reflect these philosophies. For example, the assassins have a more open-ended approach, allowing players to approach each mission in their own unique way, using their own skills and tactics. Meanwhile, the Templars are more rigid and control-focused, with more structured missions and a greater emphasis on order and efficiency.

So next time you’re playing “Assassin’s Creed”, take a step back and consider the deeper philosophical questions the game is exploring. Who knows, it might just make the experience even more enjoyable.

The Egyptian, by Mika Waltari

Sinuhe, the Egyptian is a historical novel that its authors claim was written by the ancient Egyptian scribe Sinuhe.

My Journey Keeps Going

Today I woke up with a sense of excitement. I had a plan for the day, and it involved spending some quality time with my computer, learning new things and creating something that has never existed before. That’s what programming is to me, a never-ending journey of discovery and creation.

I started my day with a cup of coffee and sat down at my desk, ready to tackle whatever challenges the day may bring. I opened up my code editor and started working on a project I had been thinking about for a while now. I was determined to see it through and make it a success.

As I delved deeper into the project, I realized how much I still had to learn. I was constantly encountering new problems and obstacles, but that only made me more determined to find solutions. I was learning new things about programming with every line of code I wrote, and that was what made it all so exciting.

As the day progressed, I took breaks to stretch my legs, grab a snack and catch up with friends. But I couldn’t wait to get back to my computer and dive back into the world of programming. It’s a world that never fails to fascinate me, and I was grateful to be a part of it.

In the evening, I went for a walk, reflecting on the day’s achievements and pondering what I wanted to work on next. I came back to my desk feeling reinvigorated and ready to tackle whatever the future holds.

Being a programmer has its ups and downs, but one thing’s for sure, it’s never dull. Every day is a new adventure.

Night

The creation in the ocean was drowned at night. The night was so dark on the world that it was said that it would never rise again; it was said that it had sat there since eternity; it was neither yesterday nor will it be tomorrow, and I- like a ghost who wanders aimlessly in the silent nights of quiet towns, in dreamy deserts, mournful cemeteries, contaminated and polluted cities, haunted ruins, everywhere- lived my life. The dream was dizzy, confusing, and unrealistic. Everything was covered in the veil of legend, but the veil was black; the legend was dark… I cannot describe it; everything was night; no, everything was night. And I was moving in the night. I knew the words of the days and spoke them. Other ghosts, with beautiful songs in celebration of the day, came out of their hiding places and from the depth of the night, looked towards me and, with the gaze that conveys sadness and curiosity, captivated me, and to hear better, circled around me, tightly, and brought their heads close to my chest, shoulder, and arms, and I, with the saddest of songs, in admiration of the sun, in praise of light, sang for them and they, like curious children, did not believe in the legend…

Finding Joy in the Simple Things

It’s a beautiful sunny day and I’m sitting on a bench in the park, watching people go by. The world around me is bustling with life and excitement, and I can’t help but feel grateful for this moment of peace and tranquility. I take a deep breath and let the sun warm my face, feeling a sense of contentment wash over me.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what truly makes me happy, and I’ve come to the realization that it’s the simple things in life that bring me the most joy. A walk in the park, a good book, a warm cup of tea – these are the things that bring a smile to my face and make me feel at peace.

I’m so caught up in the fast-paced world we live in, that sometimes I forget to stop and appreciate the beauty around me. We’re always running from one thing to the next, trying to keep up with the demands of work, family, and social life. But it’s important to take a step back and remember what really matters.

So today, I’m taking a moment to just be. To enjoy the sunshine, the sounds of the birds, and the laughter of the children playing. And I’m reminded once again that the most valuable things in life are the ones we can’t put a price on.

Life is too short to waste on things that don’t bring us happiness. So let’s take the time to savor the simple moments and be grateful for all the beauty and wonder that surrounds us.
