Egypt has finally cancelled the Time Saving setting, however, computers and other devices still think it should take place from the last Friday in April. Microsoft has released a hotfix for Windows to solve this problem

قامت مصر أخيرا بإلغاء التوقيت الصيفي، لكن ساعة الكمبيوتر و أجهزة أخرى مازالت مضبوطة على أن التوقيت الصيفي يبدأ في أخر جمعة في شهر أبريل. مايكروسوفت أصدرت ملف إصلاح لنظام ويندوز لحل هذه المشكلة.

If you don’t know your platform, go to C: drive, if you have “Program Files” folder and “Program Files(x86)” folder then your platform is x64 (yes, x64 not x86). If you have only “Program Files” folder, then your platform is x86 (default).

إذا كنت لا تعرف خيار 64 بت x64 أم 32 بت x86 ادخل على جهاز الكمبيوتر، الدرايف أو القرص الصلب C .. إذا وجدت فولدر أو مجلد Program Files(x86) و معه Program Files إذا وجدت الاثنين اختار 64 بت x64 أما إذا وجدت فقط Program Files إذا اختار 32 بت x86

Dears  –

We have received these safety tips from another Egyptian Company and we felt they were worth sharing with our employees.

In light of our country’s current safety concerns, we would like to bring to your attention the following tips:

Driving tips

· Avoid driving at night through areas you are unfamiliar with.

· Avoid driving on major roads and highways at night, like Mehwar and Ring Road.

· Avoid taking routes that have little or no traffic. Use busy and crowded ones instead.

· Do not fall for gangs’ traps and refrain from stopping for anyone on the side of the road. Traps involve placing a car seat by the side of the road with a fake baby in it, or throwing eggs on car windshields. In case the latter happens to you, do not operate the wiper or spray water, because eggs mixed with water become milky and block your vision.

· If a driver tailgates your car, flashes high beams at you, or makes angry gestures, do not stop to discuss the matter.

Mobinil, one of the 3 mobile phone networks in Egypt, owned by the same owner of Link dot NET, one of the leading ISPs in Egypt as well have come with a WiFi service for cafes, just like other ISPs provide.

When I’m in a cafe, I just use the Internet connection that the cafe provides via their ISP WiFi, and that’s it. I do NOT have to pay extra money for the Internet service. I do NOT have to register my Email and mobile phone number anywhere. I do NOT have to buy scratchy charge/balance cards like those for mobile phone credit. This is how it has been for years.

Mobinil screwed that all.

To get to the Internet in cafe, you have to do this the first time you connect:

• Register your Email and mobile phone number
  • Refresh the page (clearly hosted by Link dot NET) if you get this exception
    
    I’ll not get into the details of how horrible  is getting much detail of an exception. It’s not the first time.
