Scatterism

For the past four days, I’ve been going back and forth between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, spending a minimum total of 3 hours a day on the road. Nothing too serious, just paperwork. On the side, I finally got to meet this guy and this guy, the only bloggers I know in UAE. Ended up twitchy after consuming irresponsible amounts of caffeine.

The city is like a hungry zombie from a cheesy ’60s film. Not only does it manage to kill your time, but it brings it back from the dead, and have it roam the pickle-packed streets. I arrived in Dubai on Sunday the 15th, and it wasn’t until next day that I was able to connect to the internet, barely having the time the keep up with my email and news feeds.

WordPress future posts failed on me. I’m still to figure out why it didn’t publish the post I scheduled. Now I’m glad it didn’t. I read Jakob Nielsen article the day it was published, and knew it will influence strong reactions. My scheduled post was a commentary on that article, as most knee-jerk reactions are. At least now, I’ll be able to revise it, and could extend it a little.

Please bear with me if I delay my next post in the next few days. Interbits are scarce here. Many sites are blocked. Google Reader says I have 100+ new items.
