Many people suffer from the issues and restrictions that are politically imposed on them. Sometimes it’s by the government, and sometimes it’s by other countries because of the government. Well, in Iran, it’s both.
An amazingly large number of websites have been filtered in the recent years, there’s the law against large bandwidth usage for home and personal use, the prices for net, hosting, etc. are irrationally high and…. But we are somehow used to that, it’s been a part of our lives for years. My problem today is not this, it’s the second kind of restrictions. It’s you guys who live in other parts of the globe. Seriously, what’s wrong with you? Are you trying to help, or have a plan to make thing even worse.
Seven days ago, while I was on a trip outside Tehran, I received an email notifying me that my hosting service for four active websites has been suspended. I was not notified that I would be suspended, I was suspended already, because the US law prohibits providing services to residents and businesses located in Iran. And I have been struggling for seven days until today, I finally provided an address outside Iran, transferred my account, and managed to bring the websites back to life.

Toshiba Chrystal Zephyr
[one] My father tells the story of how he had purchased this amazing Japanese oscillating desk fan 44 years ago a hundred times. How he and his friend bought two of these for 350 Tomans each, paying 50 Tomans each month. And how this unbelievable piece of machinery has worked all these years without the slightest hesitation.
Off the topic, let me explain that 350 Tomans equals 0.35 USD right now, but it was a reasonably high price back then.
So, the Toshiba Chrystal Zephyr has been in our family for many years. Kids has broken some buttons, the timer hasn’t worked for as long as I remember, but the main engine is still good to go for hours. Basically, my father doesn’t have any use for it these days, but nevertheless, he uses it. It has a cool breeze that reminds me of the hot summer days when I was a child, and we sat together as a family, eating ice cream, and I had this playful moment of waiting for my turn for the breeze to come.

It’s fun to know you can publish posts from your mobile phone. It’s more like twitting though. Who has the fingers to write an article here!
I wonder if this crappy WinMo application would edit my post once I resubmit this or not!
No it does NOT!

I guess it can take forever for me to have my own website designed. I have done this many times, I have things to say, a lot. Yet, here I am after years of having this domain and no decent site up and running.
I think I’m only capable of doing this for others! But I promised myself this time I would go through with it. So this is the first attempts. Come visit soon and leave comments and ideas.
By the way, I decided not to go with the Persian version of the site for now.
Stay tuned.

I don’t know why nobody keeps the WP starting post. It’s a great first line for my website/weblog!
