PC Gamer Magazine.
(Wednesday, March 31 2004, 3:57 am)
Today I got the chance to go down to San Francisco and spend the day with one of the PC Gamer Magazine Editors. I guess my input will be added to the next month's issue, as they are puttin in all they're information by the end of the week for the next edition.
(Side Note: I was working with Greg Vederman for the day)
This California thing is giving me some self-recognized fame (That is self-only). All in all it was fun going down, and seeing it all come together by 7 people and spend the day showing off our product. The funnest part though was just being down there, at a Magazine's Office that I used to read when I was younger (or atleast just grab the demo CD's off of it, and play them).
This Co-op thing is bringing me some great life experiences, init.

Hafez Project Additions.
(Thursday, March 25 2004, 12:12 am)
Well you've probably already seen my hafez project. I have now added a keyboard that you can use to type what you want. Right now you can only use the keyboard, since people keep typing ی instead of ي (that is a "ye" with two dots under it). I will soon modify it so that you can type in directly if you know how to.
Check it out, and please please if you find any bugs, email me and let me know. or even leave it here as a comment. Thanks in advance.

When I tell you something, I don't say it just so you know what I think, I say it cause I want to hear what you think.

Tabrike Jamii (Mass Holiday Wishes)
(Tuesday, March 23 2004, 3:56 am)
Its amazing how many emails I got from many friends which included a picture and a generic New Year wishes text on the buttom. As much as it was nice to see them all, you get the feeling that "you were just part of the list". It doesn't really feel like they are greeting you, its not personal nor individually written to you. As much as that person took time out of his or her time to write this greeting, I personally think not writing it at all is better than just sending the same one, to everyone. Partially the reason why you didnt get an email from me with a message wishing you happy new years. (The biggest reason though is my laziness, cause with my beliefs I would have to write individual messages to everyone. :D)

Focus is the key.
(Thursday, March 18 2004, 1:39 pm)
I dont think I have ever felt worste in my life. I never knew how much emotions can affect one physically. Never felt even this bad when I was ill. There is constant release of all sorts of acids into my stomach. Constant pains drift down my body in waves. Focus is the key. My constant attempts at focusing on my work have failed, and here I am writing this instead. It is hard to focus with such a state of mind, but it is the only escape. Which makes me realize what I have done. My attempt at making things right, even though I truly believe in what I have done, might have caused a huge distraction and loss of focus, which would make matters worste in a different way or could help as attempts at an escape could cause more focus. I don't know, but I wish I did. What am I rambling on about? I dont know that either.

President On Yahoo!
(Wednesday, March 17 2004, 5:19 am)
2:30 in the morning, reading the hoder.com (Sardabir: Khodam) website, I came accross a comment named "Sayed Mohammadeh Khatami" (Comments) Saying that he is the president of Iran, and he will be on yahoo from 12 to 2pm for chat with Iranians, to find out how they think.
At first I when I saw the title, I thought... hmm.. jokes.. but I sort of do believe it though, but that would be cool. Here is his Yahoo ID, KHATAMI1997. I've added him to my contacts, we'll see what happens if he comes online. Since I'm not that literate in pilitics, I probably wont have an interesting conversation with him, but if I do, I will post it on here. :), even if it is jokes.
Better head to bed! night all.

Lost Path
(Tuesday, March 16 2004, 3:24 pm)
My life besieges me.
Watching me like a hawk, after its prey.
Reacting to every move I make.
Laying down mines on every path I take.
My world Denies me.
Hiding its pain behind the curtains of anger.
I see the pain that it suffers.
I cause the anger that it ruptures.
Yet My Friend Envies me.
With the utmost passion for retrieval.
How can I refuse this envitable call.
Who am I to overlook this fall.
- The Inglorious Poet, Ali

Let this be a lesson to all of you.

My Clean Water Theory
(Monday, March 15 2004, 2:12 am)
I had always wondered why would the tap water in Canada and the US be so unclean. Why does it smell. Why is it not drinkable. Why would Tehran's water conditioning and filtering system be so much better than what they have here. Why would Tehran's water be ranked 3rd in the world for drinkability even though the system they have in place there is extremely old, put there by the americans during shah's time. Did he just pay insane amounts of money for a good water system?
Well as I was coming home tonight, it just hit me. I was going by a Clean Water store in my area. Not many people live around here. The population is so sparse, and yet a small device that the owner has installed at the door, that is always open even if the store is closed (basically you put money in it and water comes out of a tap that it has to fill your bottle, $0.25 for a gallon) makes him around US$4000 a month. Why? Because when you drink the water from the tap, you want to puke. It’s disgusting and it smells. Just like Waterloo's water, if not worst. When I worked at the IGA grocery store near my house in Toronto, one of our biggest seller's was water.
So what is it? Well its another scam. Why give people clean water in their tap for cheap price? why not make 200 times more money? Well you might ask why dont they just increase the water price from the tap. Well that wont work will it. People use that water for cleaning, showering, flushing crap down the toilet and watering their gardens. So people wont be able to afford it. So the government wont allow it. The only other way is to make it just clean enough that you dont have any diseases in it. Get rid of all the bacteria, and all the crap from recycling the water. and there you go.
I can bet you a million dollars that they had a better system in place years ago, but decided to get rid of it and put a worst one in place. Then get the government officials to announce it as unfit water to drink and boom, your profit has sky rocketed.

Uninteresting Topics.
(Sunday, March 14 2004, 7:26 am)
For the past couple of weeks, the content of my site has become less and less interesting to read. It has turned into stupid comments by me complaining about different things. I was no longer adding content that it readable or even funny to read. ie. not entertaining.
I will try to add more taste to the content as I go on, rather than just putting up random pointless complaints.. :)

Noruz Party @ Waterloo
(Friday, March 12 2004, 8:52 am)
Hmm... Tonight is the Noruz Party run by the University of Waterloo students, by barobax. And having been at the center of action last year, I really feel left out this year. Down here, with nothing to do, working 24/7. My roomate (martike avazi) went to Las Vegas this weekend, I pretty much got ditched by him as I was suppose to go too. Now sitting in front of my computer listening to persian music, reminds me of the amazing days we had last year this time. This realy sux, you dont understand.
Away from the complaining.. I'm so bored that I'm probably gonna rent a car, and start driving.. drive until the car breaks down in the middle of the road somewhere, in the middle of nowhere. that sounds fun. But I guess only the first part is fun, the driving part. The breaking down part wont be as fun. I'll see if I can find a jaguar to rent or something. Anything else wont be worth it.
Maaaan I need some barobax down here. this is bullshit.
Anyways, Have fun tonight guys, and remember me when you're on the dance floor.

Hakhamanesh
(Sunday, March 07 2004, 9:24 am)
I was browsing the internet, as usual, this time 6:00 in the morning, when I cam upon this awesome website. For the pas half hour, I read a good part of this page. It has translations of many of the columbs and scriptures written in khate mikhi and inscribed into clifs and stones by the past kings.
Check it out: http://www.avesta.org/op/op.htm
Also you've gotta forgive my english right now, I'm too tired to think right. :)

Living away
(Sunday, March 07 2004, 4:00 am)
I didn't even know that it would be hard to live far from home. I've lived on my own for about five years now, but always had my close friends around me. All in the same boat as me, all away from their families. They make you feel that where you are is your home. And yet I wasnt too far from my home either, only an hour away, and could occasionally go home.
Now I'm on the west coast, far away from my family and my friends, far away from places I call home (Toronto and Waterloo). And when I come home at night after a full days work, I can definetly feel it. I can feel I'm not home. Living here with chandta adame bibokhareh bikhod. As soon as everyone comes home, they go into their rooms and close their doors. I sit in the living room, in front of my computer, listening to Iranian music, thinking about Canada, and how much better than US it is. It really bothers me that in a year or so, all my friends at Waterloo will all head in a different direction, everyone going their way to find their "Masire Takamol", to find out what the world has to offer them.
I think that will be the hardest part of graduating and probably the reason why a lot of the people want to get their master's degree. Waterloo has become a home for us and it'll be hard to leave it. To leave the friends and try to make new ones after spending so much time trying to get to know them and learning to trust them. But we can't stay for ever, and have to leave at one point. And even if one doesn't leave for this reason, everyone else around them will.
I wish you all great futures full of wonderfull wonders.

Busy Busy Busy....
(Thursday, March 04 2004, 4:11 am)
Its been a while since I wrote something and posted on here and I figured it was time to write something, but then again how can you write something if nothings come up. Nothing usually comes to mind when you try to think of something, but if you're not thinking about it, then many things come to mind that would be perfect for writing. Unfortunately though, most of them time when things come to my mind, I'm away from the computer and unable to write it and then I just forget what I was gonna write. Its not easy you know! :p
Well last week I wanted to work on a small script that will go in and get all the necessary information for the worldcup qualifications. Relevant ones that is, ie. Iranian ones. I started it, but never got a chance to finish it. Click here to see what I have so far, which isnt much, but seriously, I've just been too busy to work on anything. The hafez script thing is still just sitting there with no modifications.
All will go well, and this term will end like any other, with very little achievement.
