Ever since I Can (can) remember, I have wanted to be able to ENJOY pure black, strong coffee. I simply have to, it is one of those things I must do in life. But to be honest, I much prefer it with some cream and sugar.
Today, well a few moments ago, rather after getting the program to compile, I grabbed some coffee- its strong, its black, its not sugary and its not anything but black (no cream, milk). Guess What? Its still so SO so SO so SO BITTER.
Damn, I have no idea why I have these compulsive behaviors, but I know one thing in life I need to do is be able to drink black coffee. Its a question of my manhood.

Sometimes, you are unable to work, until all things are just right. And sometimes a song will simply be able to get you into the place that you need to be to get an extra hour or two that sets the tone for you to continue way beyond what you expected.
This is one such song.
A long long time ago, I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe, they’d be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With ev’ry paper I’d deliver
Bad news on the door step
I couldn’t take one more step
I can’t remember if I creid
When I read about this widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died, so
*Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
Then good old boys
Were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in god above
If the bible tells you so
Now do you believe in rock and roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me
How to dance real slow
Well I know that you’re in love with him
‘Cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Then I digged those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
With a pink carnation and a pick up truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died, I started singing
(Repeat *)
Now for ten years we’ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone
But that’s not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No vredict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
A quartet practised in the park
And we sang digges in the dark
The day the music died, we were singin’
(Repeat *)
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The birds fiew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and fallin’fast
Plant a flower on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
But we never got a chance
‘Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching banmd refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died, we started singin’
(Repeat *)
And there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble
Jack be quick, Jack flash sat on a candlestick
‘Cause fire is the devil’s only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell could break
That Satan’s spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I was satan laughing with delight
The day the music died, he was singin’,
(Repeat *)
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before
But the men there said
The music wouldn’t play
But in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a world was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three man I admire most
The father son and holly ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were snigin’
(Repeat *)

I am near done with the database tier completely. (not really, but I would like to believe that I am). I ate fried eggs for breakfast. Eating eggs is always the hardest (but most rewarding) breakfast one can eat. A nice cup of orange juice, and a nice cup of coffee.
Woke up in the early hours TWO Days in a row. HELL YEA.

This is my chance - probably the only time I will actually be able to offer some assistance to anyone else who has had a problem. I have problems ALL of the time when I am working on a program. I do not know how to program, I do not know anything about programming, and I am always messing / screwing things up - so today was no exception.
However, unfortunately, unlike most days, Google was unable to help me. Each page I found that I thought perhaps may contain the solution to my problem - solved another similar problem. So I was stuck fending for myself.
My setup:
Windows XP SP2 (PRO)
Visual Studio 2005
IIS 5.1 / SQL 2005
The abhorring problem:
Unable to start debugging on the web server. An authentication error occurred while communicating with the web server. Please see Help for assistance.
The solution:
(there are several problems which may cause this error apparently, a Path specifically as well if you are running this on VISTA. However in my case:
1. Click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
2. Click on Administrative Tools
3. Click on Internet Information Services
4. Right click on the Website (in many cases Default Website), and click Properties
5. Ensure that there is a Check on the option: HTTP Keep-Alives Enabled
6. Press OK

One of the nice thing of actually taking out the time to architect this project smoothly from the get go is this. I am actually able to write almost everything using standard SQL.
Then once I get a prototype launched, I can go back in and re-write them all into stored procedures.

Adee, the previous tutor of the children will come to work on the new get rich super quick but kinda slow Project in a week or so. Hes not terribly neccessary for the project, but he wants a chance - and I intend to provide one for him. His sister is now the new tutor for the children - and its amazing, apparently, Also the fact that she is a girl means Fatima can walk around the house more easily, and no segregation needs to be happening like the entire time.
Also since two of our kids are Girls, they no longer need to be in Hijab ALL day, while they are tutored. Secondly, IN is running SMOOTHLY. Nothing is crashing, the server is SO not over loaded (all of them, I have to check on the audio stuff with Ahmed) and our traffic is crazy up the roof on all of the sites combined. Some have a fairly decent ranking as well.
I am eating kinda decently again as well, alhamduillaah - and we are all out of soft drinks in the mini fridge, which is probably a good thing. (Note: I did not actually drink too many of them, just enough)
And on yea - writing this offline in a windows application, and pressing publish. Oh yea.

After nearly twenty four hours, AdSense results were up, Spam was down to only seven pieces across all of the main sites. Over thousands were rejected. I kinda wish I had started to implement some of these changes before. We may have been able to salvage our mail situation ages ago if I had paid attention…
No problem though, I like this approach a lot more. A lot more traffic is getting through *More Ajr* and its feeling all slick.

All of it, each and every last piece of Spam has been removed from IslamicNetwork.com
(or so I think).

Ok, seriosuly somethings are just so amazing, its unbelievable how amazing they really are. I love iGoogle, with its widgets, (i know others have done it before, but I really like this theme I have going on). Secondly, There are about 43,000 pieces of spam on IslamicNetwork.com that I have to find a way to remove - as for future spam, it should be heavily under control - (finally) alhamduillaah.
As I look into your eyes, I can see a love restrained, Darling when I hold you, don’t you know I feel the same… nothing lasts forver, and we both know hearts can change - Its amazing that you can find Guns and Roses in Jordan I guess..
If anyone has any problems accessing any of IN services, let me know - please, this goes. I still can’t believe I can just earn ajr while doing nothing. This is MAC DADDY.
the IN Homepage is fixed now, too - it finally works/looks decent and can show the upated stuff properly -
After a few months, the rest of the changes will start rolling in…
