Tower Overlord

I was using the elevator shaft of Siddique trade center when I managed to catch a glimpse out of the window and then I saw something that captivated me. In front of me there was a tower, a not so complete tower with people working in it.

The view was so sensational that it felt these these were my men building my tower. It felt like a strategy game of some sort and reminded me of the good old days of SimTower. I wanted to control these people like a strategy game(Dungeon Keeper comes to mind). I would like to drag and drop slow workers into the pit:-

I never thought that simple building construction could be so beautiful for those who're willing to view the world from a different angle.

Oh and before I forget, Eid Mubarik to all my tower subjects. May this Eid be a special one for both you and your families. And remember to knife some goats.

New member in the family

Blabbering Wombat persuaded me to continue until right now, what I'd been considering a dead blog :). This is just to tell you folks that I am back.

So for my first article after my going underground I'm going to write about another member in my errm laptops family. My trusty laptop sidekick for over a year 'sage' just got a girlfriend, eee.

Don't they just look cute together.

Thanks to champion matchmaker and gaming clan overlord Karar who made all this possible.

The XP's in Japanese and needs to be re-installed anyways. You cant apparently switch the language for display inside windows XP home edition(suxxx).

My mom was really excited and she and eee have been getting along quite well together, even though eee's having a hard time adjusting to english :). I wonder if I switch the distro from WinXP, to lets say Xandro or Ubuntu in order to satisfy myself will mom's and eee's relationship get strained.
