Thanks, I knew you were in IT. Your seniors at FAST were my colleague and If I am not wrong, your batch used to be called millenium Bug since you were in 2000 batch.

I often used to read your mails back in 2000 when PLUC mailing list was active which I think doesn’t exist anymore. I am not sure because I don’t use my lycos account anymore which was subscribed with list and yes I often didn’t participate practically in PLUC activities apart from attending few initial meetings. Even basit is not active anymore.

Thanks for answering.

Adnan, I work as a consultant in a local software development firm. Yes, I am into IT.

Fawad went to college with me, then he transfered to Chicago after three semesters. We were in touch. Soon after he left I developed an interest in Linux, and fawad helped me a lot in understanding how linux works and where to get linux distributions from. He also introduced PLUC to me, which I joined rightaway. After moving to the US, I met fawad and we talked more about Linux and PLUC and that’s when I volunteered to design website for LinuxPakistan.net (I had great interest in web development at that time). I designed a few logos and buttons but couldn’t give more time. Soon I got busy with other things in life and my participation in PLUC faded away with time. Now I am not even on the mailing list of PLUC, but I have great respect for PLUC and the work they are doing. Oh, btw, I have never met Basit, just corresponded with him through emails and chat sessions.

Muddasir, I’ll answer it right here.

Huma and Saba were great bloggers, and they left because of personal reasons, probably because they got too busy with their studies and job.

Well, Umar Bhai I would like to inquire regarding one of the founding members of KMB along with whom you used to do such brilliant posts back in 2005, non other than the Hilton Sisters of Karachi, Huma & Saba. What on earth happened to them ? Why did they left KMB ?

ok seriously asking now … two may look idiotic questions but sensibly thinking:

Why is there something rather than nothing?
How do you know that you know?

Hmmm,
