Karachi, once more. Friday, November 17, 2006. Was sitting on a wall, and now having a great fall; who am I? I am still in Bahrain and don't know when I'll go back home.

Could be a good start to know more about the politics of the country. Somehow, I feel that it's time to move ahead with life. Where to? TB Te...

Karachi, once more. Wednesday, September 01, 2004. Yootay-bori is how Göteborg is pronounced in Swedish, or Svenska to be more precise. I reached this port city of Sverige (I mean Sweden) on 22nd of August. The city is very much like Islamabad in many ways - it's lush green hilly area with major activity only in the city center. The weather is quite cold (between 10 to 14 degrees Celsius in these days and it will go below zero in December! Avanza is a Spanish word that means the same. And remember, there...

Catching a COM+ Event in VBScript
http://www.thejaywalker.net/2013/10/catching-com-event-in-vbscript.html
Karachi, once more. Thursday, October 31, 2013. Catching a COM Event in VBScript. Catching events in Visual Basic 6 was simple- -the IDE provided you all the tools to define event handlers in a very easy and intuitive way. Similar approach was carried over to .NET based languages. But what if you are going to use a COM object in VBScript, where you don't have an IDE to help you at all? Difference between CreateObject and WScript.CreateObject. Set obj = WScript.CreateObject(ProgID [,strPrefix]). TB Test f...

http://www.thejaywalker.net/2007/05/karachi.html
Karachi, once more. Monday, May 14, 2007. Somebody has coined the term "City of Emergency Lights" for Karachi. The situation in Karachi. Is bad, as you can see here as well.

Like the 2005 earthquake. Posted by Muhammad Ali Shah. Awesome Inc. templat...
