Beats me. Totally. But you, rockstar, are <em>so</em> kind. I know I need to update, even if I just <em>know</em> it and don't <em>do</em> it. But I do <em>hope</em> to do it. Soon. :) Yasmine: Why could they not have just written it as 9? Beats me. Totally.

WHY could they not have just written it as "9" and left off the whole "th" business? Seriously, give the Pakistanis some credit; I'm sure we could recognize avenues by the number itself. PS: Saadat, dude, it's been a long while since I've been here, and you need to update more often, yaar. Missed you. =) Dude, that sign just made me shake my head for the longest time. WHY could they not have just written it as “9″ and left off the whole “th” business? Seriously, give the Pakistanis some credit; I’m sure we could recognize avenues by the number itself.

Though ssh is available in their Unix <a href="http://www.nexus.net.pk/unix_budget.php" rel="nofollow">Budget</a> and <a href="http://www.nexus.net.pk/unix_advance.php" rel="nofollow">Advance</a> packages. You can check a listing of these and others at <a href="http://www.nexus.net.pk/business_hosting.php" rel="nofollow">this page</a>. But if you can manage to get your space at Dreamhost, then surely go for it. They have a much better reputation than Nexus (not to mention their packages), and I might migrate if I am ever able to afford them! :) I do have a local WordPress installation on my machine, and I use <a href="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html" rel="nofollow">XAMPP</a> for all my WAMP needs. (Do check it out, it's nifty; unless you already have Apache configured on your machine.) And there's a tutorial <a href="http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/" rel="nofollow">here</a> about XAMPP and WordPress that I myself used while doing local installation. And, of course, there's always the excellent <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">WordPress Codex</a>. I use Nexus’s masoom Unix Basic package, which doesn’t provide any shell account. Though ssh is available in their Unix Budget and Advance packages.

What's the average uptime? I was initially thinking about Dreamhost, they cost around $100 a year with around 200GB space, and you can register multiple domains with the same account. And ofcourse they support automatic Wordpress installation. Anyway, have you tried running Wordpress locally? I mean on your system using LAMP or WAMP? Any pointers? I wanted to setup the template during the year and a half it will take me to decide on a hosting service:P, thought I might as well do it locally. Does Nexus provide a shell account?

Blogs at Blogger are working fine for me now. Guess it was something temporary. But anyone who mentions WordPress and expresses their plans to use it as their blogging tool, receives a wonderful pat on the back from me. *pats your back* Even if you use it after the next year and a half. :P For hosting, I am using services from <a href="http://nexus.net.pk/" rel="nofollow">Nexus</a>. They have an office on Murree Road, between the Rehmanabad and Chandni chowks. This office used to be their head office, but now their Islamabad office (in F-10) has the head-office-status. Do check the maps on their website describing their locations -- it's amusing how they chose to spell "<em>Mezail</em> Chowk"! Haha, I did spend some seconds scratching my head when I read “executed”!

But I guess Blogger's not an option...the government of Pakistan, in its infinite wisdom, banned it sometime ago, then they allowed, but access goes down from time to time. Where have you hosted your blog? I'd rather not go through the whole whois/traceroute thing. More importantly, which blogging tool are you using? Wordpress? Let me know. Keep blogging and I'll keep blurking... The tales of my demise have been greatly executed :P
