Hi, I do find your site pretty interesting and educational, mostly your Linux related stuff, but I noticed pretty disturbing your copyrightdisclaimer -plenty of noGPL spirit- and I suggested you to change thoseterms.

Well Mr. Anonymous, I did change the license quite a bit (see the link at the footer of this page). It needed an overhaul, and your comment did help. It may not be fully GPL nor Creative Commons, but it is somewhat closer to that spirit.From: Anna, USA

Dear KhalidIt'll take me many visits to browse through all your content. Wow!Keep up your good work in the Great White North.

And later:

[The site has] a pretty good layout... it's easy to navigate through the site.I truly enjoy reading about your Baheyeldin Dynasty. It adds a personal touch to your overall presentation.Your two young daughters are very cute.I'm sort of amused by the way you described your snow shoveling exercise and frosty car windshield.

Actually Anna, they are three cute daughters. I did not put an up to date group photo yet, and should really do so soon.From: Daniel, Brazil

Great article! I've succeeded creating the boot floppy disk afterreading your notes.

From: Dick, Scotland

Thanks for your excellent contribution, which of the many I tried was the only one to work. It hung on the graphics, but by adding vga=788 to syslinux.cfg - worked fast and well!Thanks again.I hope the dynasty prospers!!

My father and I have just used your site to get information on the meaning of the Spanish place-name, Albuquerque. Thank you for putting this information on your website. We found it very helpful and interesting.

From: Dave, USA

Hey, this [Frank Herbert Dune article] looks a lot more detailed than before. Thanks again for adding the Arabic script, it looks real nice. I'll have to link to this on my page when I get a chance to redo it.

As you know, Ididn't get your approval on translating it.But looking the article page, I think you have the kindness about that.If it is not too late, would you give me a approval of quotation?

A message to Khalid from another desperate pharmacist You know what..I feel like it's ME who wrote the article about retail pharmacists in Egypt. I really agree with you on ALL the points u just mentioned about: why being a retail pharmacist is a bad career choice?!You know what, I was applying for a scholarship in the British Council in Egypt to pursue an MBA and I exactly wrote the same WHOLE points u've previousely wrote about pharmacists' narrow career choices in Egypt, but I didn't get accepted by the BC to have scholarship..know why? They said that I have no passion to my home country and no passion for doing a change! Just because I told the truth!! ;)A.w. Just wanted to admit my admiration with your brave career change from Pharmacy to Computing! I've done something similar too, but I moved from Pharmacy to Banking; not banking in the true sense of the word but [...] basically involves: International Stock Market Investing...It was a real pleasure going thru ur website...

Another feedback from a Pharmacist, John P., from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who seemed to be ticked off by my views on retail pharmacy as a career.

Stop crying and go back to frickin Egypt! This job is a count, lick, stick and we are over paid! Get the techs to do all the work while I thumb through Playboys and Hustler out of the magazine rack. Stop whining!

I am not sure I want Joe to do my dispensing? I guess he will stop that when someone gets the wrong medicine and he gets sued.
