There are some secret things about me that you might be interested to hear.

1) Although a programmer must write his codes portable enough to give people the ability to compile them on variety of platforms, I didn't and still don't know how to use autoconf and automake stuffs to make my programming life easier. Funny isn't it ? I always write non-portable Makefiles.

2) I'm completely obsessed with the idea of modern National Socialism of different kind. I hate lesser men like Arabs, Mongols and Macedonian as well as Nordics and Europeans (Well let me rephrase then. I hate non-Aryans) though I'd never say I hate them. You can see the logo of Anarchism everywhere inside my profiles but actually I'm _NOT_ an Anarchist.

3) I used to smoke and drink alcohol (The Good Stuff) from the very beginning, but I never got addicted by anyway. Although I'm barely looking for Jever's products these days and soon it will become a quest for me and AmirMohammad as well to "Finding Jever."

4) I never learn things by reading but by giving them a shot. I always hated to work as an employee, in fact I always wanted the leadership. Besides I have always been selfish and proud in my whole life _BUT_ I have never ever been jealous of anyone else.

5) I believe in something, a thing that is completely against my realistic beliefs. The fact that sooner or later, the pure-blood Persians will rise and we will gain our old times respect and place. The thing that I always wanted is the ability to read Pahlavi scripts, Avesta and Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary.

Finally, I pass this "Not-that-interesting" game to AmirMohammad, Mola, Shahab, Soroush and Irix.

Due to the fact that Kaveh no longer writes blog entries I did't include him. Hope to see his wonderful and interesting blog up and running again sometime later.

Cheers

When democracy granted democratic methods to us in times of opposition, this was bound to happen in a democratic system. However, we National Socialists never asserted that we represented a democratic point of view, but we have declared openly that we used the democratic methods only to gain power and that, after assuming the power, we would deny to our adversaries without any consideration the means which were granted to us in times of our opposition.

Today, the official site of Parsix/GNU Linux just announced that a newer version (0.85) is available for public download. Parsix is a distribution based on Debian repositories and Kanotix aimed to be a powerful and complete Operating System based on GNU/Linux for Persian users and I'd really like to say, it's cool, easy-to-use, stable and equipped with lots of features including 56k modem drivers for dialup users. Special thanks to Alan Baghumian; you can give it a try your self in LiveCD mode.
