ne of the perks of working where I work is the free tickets I get to special events at the Verizon Center here in the nation’s capital. The band whose songs were played in many memorable events in my life, now performed before me live. And the best part of it all is that it was as inexpensive to view as it would’ve been if I were to watch them on YouTube. Free concerts always sound good. Greenday made it sound even better. They started out with songs from their new album, 21st Century, and later moved on to songs I personally am more familiar with including Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Time of Your Life.

Verizon Center, for some unearthly, stupid and downright ridiculous reason, does not allow anyone to bring cameras to the venue. That’s a setback I will never forgive this venue for for the rest of my life. I had to torture myself by realizing I had to depend on my memory to capture these moments instead of the much more dependable CF cards of my camera. Nonetheless, I was able to (or so I think anyway) capture some pics of the place through my cell, ending up pushing it to its limit seemingly effortlessly. So here they are and I hope you guys can make some sense out of these pictures.

I’m putting the famous 3R quote from Captain Planet to yet another use. This time, I’m applying it to my very own website which I had known from 2002 under various domain names and disowned countless times. But this time, I’m sticking to the sufinawaz.com domain name for good. I had been lazy enough to not put it back up after taking it down for several months now. But enough is enough, I said to myself! And along came the idea of importing the feeds from blogspot and picasaweb albums in addition to what I already had, to rebuild this website with minimal effort and yet in most effective ways. True, I had to indulge myself into some coding after what seems to be a zillion years, but must I say, it has been a very satisfying effort indeed. I can now use the tools at blogspot and picasaweb to organize my blogs and photo albums almost effortlessly and with a great amount of flexibility in retrieving and displaying the data too. So most of what you will be seeing here from now on will actually be imported from blogspot and picasaweb.

It took me a decent amount of time to figure the stuff out since it’s been a while I have done any sort of coding. So once I get some time, I will upload the PHP codes that you can use to retrieve data from blogspot and picasaweb.

So stay tuned, and hopefully I’ll have my website up in less than a zillion years from now*.
