Technical issues
Sorry, this site will be weird maybe for the next day or so. Despite an increase in expenses, our current host turned out to be even worse than the last one, with the slowest customer service in the world. Bare with us while we suffer through these annoyances. It’s not gonna be easy.
Even though we have a “business” account with Netfirms, which I thought meant we’re “omg important,” it seems as though the only thing we’re paying for is an inspiration to blow our heads off. Which we are about to do, by the way!
[/bitter customer rant]
Update: Yaman helped fix this problem, and he also helped us move everything to our current host, mostly because he’s generous/genius enough! So the new layout will be ready as soon as Lalith implements the changes. Sit tight, stay tuned, etc.
PS – It’s my 21st birthday. Last year, same time, we were the laughing stock of the blogosphere, with less than 15 hits a day. Now look where we are! Other than constantly complaining about hosts, we managed to pull 16 projects through and maintain our 1,000+ daily readership. Which is not a lot, but certainly more than most Middle Eastern sites out there! *insert internet domination dance*
Update II: It’s fine for you guys to comment on the archived entries, for those who asked.

Happy Birthday! Welcome to the 21-club where everything stays exactly the same as when you were 20.
I don’t really get birthdays. It’s like we’re celebrating not dying for 12 months.
Pfft I hope I’m not expected to run around like an adult now. Young and careless, those were the days.

I really hope the switch goes easy on you Esra’a and the rest of the amazing team.. Keep up the good work..

I blame the Muslims for the delay, I am sure they had something to do with it.
PS: Now you are one year closer to death, Esra’a.
How very emo!
NetFirms Business?? I though you were going to get a dedicated server!!
What so we can spend thousands per year? No thanks. We’re not that big yet. We’re now working on moving back to our older host.
sorry mea culpa; i meant this lawsuit stuff with lee kaplan concerning Yaman.
Oh yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s still going on. Should anything happen Yaman will update us.
