Things pertaining to my personal life.
I picked up a new phone app that I really liked about a week ago. I had been trying to learn the Arabic alphabet for a while now, annoying my wife to teach me was not yielding the right result either, but hey, it was worth a shot! Write It! Arabic available here for android and here for iPhone. If you are trying to learn, I highly recommend it. This is better than the flashcards I was trying to make…
I have escaped again this last weekend! During my trip to Dubai I managed to find a place to play beer pong. Located at the Media One Hotel on the 9th floor is a place called Mr Miyagi’s. It is an Asian themed bar with four beer pong tables, the food was pretty good but smaller portions that I would have liked. One thing to note is they featured 10 cup as opposed to six cup, also the cups are…
Once in a while I manage to escape works grasp and get away to somewhere new. A few weeks ago I was able to go check out Colombo, Sri Lanka over a long weekend. Out of nowhere the idea of playing beer pong dawned on me, so I did a little google searching and found one awesome place! Playtrix Sports Bar and Café. It is located here; The staff was awesome, they will even play against you and they are…
Back in August of 2015 I had posted about marrying a Kuwaiti women in Kuwait without the consent of her guardian. The posting has been well received and gotten a few comments and a storm of emails over the course of the last year or so. I personally never finished out the process, due to business travel taking priority over a sheet of paper made difficult to obtain by loads of red tape. It seems like every time you make…
I wanted to share some of the PowerShell Modules that I will be going over the next few months as I learn and share the experiance and headaches I run into; Cisco UCS PowerTool – Available here. It requires a Cisco login, a little more info can be found here. VMWare PowerCLI – Available here. – Eventually I will start covering 6, instead of 5.5. Like Cisco, it also requires an account. NetApp PowerShell Toolkit – Available here. Also requires…
Marriage in Kuwait can be a difficult task to accomplish, leaving aside the family issues here and the normal process of “no system” to do things, people at government offices that speak English, but don’t when you need help. Some background on our situation, I have been married to my wife for about two years now in the US, but have never been legally married in Kuwait, despite the fact that I have worked here on and off during the…
Well its official, I finally finished college with a 3.501 GPA at Park University at the end of the summer semester. Time to update my resume :)! Boston University has admitted me into their Computer Information Systems program, I hope to complete it by fall 2015.
With all the lack of updates lately there does come a good reason! For the first time ever it looks like I made the Dean’s List! For those of you that want to see it for yourself go to http://park.edu/deanslist/Default.aspx under “Campus”, select Online Courses (Undergraduate), and you will see me there. I will be updating my blog here in the next few weeks with some tutorials and reviews on some items I have purchased such as a Mediasonic H8R2-SU3S2 ProRaid 8 Bay…
Generally I have a decent experience at most of the places I go to, however recently I had a need for extra pages to be put into my passport within 24 hours and there wasn’t too much choice here in Kuwait as far as appointments, the next appointment was Sunday, so I deiced to look around. So curiosity struck, which consulate could do it fastest in the region? Here is my review: Abu Dhabi – Easy to get an appointment…
