Tololy’s techie gibberish protest
Have you ever noticed how so many technie people, particularly males, are socially under-developed? If you have not been paying attention to this universal fact, let me announce to you that by reading this entry your situation of ignorance shall be remedied.
(Most) Techie males: a species resembling regular human beings distinctive for their social incompetence, and often for perverse fantasies under a cloak of inhibition.
That, in a nutshell, is your 101 on (most) techie males. I said most, in severe cases of benevolence I will replace that with the word “many”. This is not such a case.
Since we’re on tech talk, I read over at 360°east that Skype is getting blocked in Jordan. How very fascist! It’s funny when I remember how sincere and eager to “improve services” a TRC (Telecommunications Regulatory Commission) representative came across during a certain meeting.
I feel totally Orwellian at the moment.
“Really now, let’s block Skype so we can milk the Jordanian tech-savvy and/or cosmopolitan to the last drop. Then we can block Blogger and Word Press to force the growing number of blog-addicts to buy our biased newspapers and read our old news. After we do that, we can dig a canal around Jordan and turn it into an island, and isolate it from the rest of the modern world that screams “FREE” all too often.”
I say viva Skype. No to Fascism.
On a final note, I ruined my “The Visuals” section while trying to fix it, which just proves how very un-techie I am. You can either check my flickr for recent pictures, or fix my Visuals.

Look on the bright side…if you become an island, you can rename yourself "New Jamaica." People will come from all over to drink your native grog, "Wadi Rum."
