Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware

Times where good. You came to work at your goverment job and instead of sitting with the guys, reading newspapers and drinking turkish coffee or tea stikanas, you rushed to the PC with Internet access, logged into your online broker and did some trades.

It was like a magical slot machine, anythnig you invested in paid off. You doubled your money. You threw money at all the latest iktitabs (IPOs). You cheered, you laughed, you visited car showrooms to shop for your new flash second car.

Then it happened. The market went down one day, you took it like a man, it will pick up tommorow.

The market went down another day, ok, you accept it, that is propably just a correction.

It goes down the following day, what is going on here? could it be a crash ?

No fiber today

The door bell rang,
I jumped and sang,
It was the people with the fiber,
it will make my internet run like fire,
they came in with only a string,
they did not bring any other thing,
they checked my electrical trunking,
and found it was working,
and said it was only a survey,
no need to say hurray,
I need to wait 100 nights
for my fiber to be alight,
oh the misery,
oh the torture,
no fast internet for me,
just waiting for the future.

Fiber to the Home

I live in an area of Kuwait where we have no phone lines (ok it is South Surra). So I rely on my mobile for calls. For Internet, I had DSL before in my old house and I was spoiled, GPRS / EDGE on my mobile is not fast enough. I have a need for speed, so I installed a dedicated uplink / downlink VSAT satellite dish and equipment on my roof and I get extra fast speed, it is a expensive but I figured it is worth it.

Today at work, I get a call from my maid's mobile, she tells me some man outside wants to see me. I figured it was someone trying to sell me somthing useless like my name engraved on a copper plate, or pest control, or something, so I told her not to open the door and tell him to get lost.

I come back from work today and I see this card:

Fiber

If it is not clear, the card says:

Dear Building Owner,

Please note that MoC contractor who is going to lay optical Fiber Cables up to your internal box to provide telephone service failed to visit your premise today.

We will come back on:

Date: / / 2006
From: to :


Wow! Fiber all the way inside my house, lightspeed internet, video phones, cheap international calls, oops, maybe I should not say that last part.

Tomorrow, I wll be waiting for them, and I will invite them for coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner if need be. I am going to help them break any walls, dig any holes, anything to get that precious fiber. After they install the fiber, I will ithba7 5aroof under the junction box.

I can't wait.
