Category: Site Status
9/11 + 1
Well, just got back from 2 weeks in New York City, probably one of the best trips I have ever taken… it was quite a crazy trip and we did some rather ridiculous things that most definitely changed my life… as I have nothing to complain about, I will save the details for another time and section… More later…
Obligatory rant: As expected, the transition to a new DSL provider (as described in the following entry) went poorly and that is why the site was down till now… for those of you that missed it…
We’re back… with updates!
Yee Hawwwww!! Finally I managed to coerce a DSL provider to provide me with service and Salim’s World is back!
I know that life has been a meaningless waste of time without your daily dose of Salim’s World but you’ll be happy to know that I haven’t been idle in my downtime. Many additions and improvements have been made to the site:
- The family tree has been updated (more pictures and more demographic info)
- I did another billboard run
- I fixed all of the photographs in the pictures section so that they are a reasonable size (not gigantic like they were before). They should download in a reasonable amount of time and not require you to scroll to see all of it
- A bunch of other stuff which I can’t remember
Enjoy!
Uptime update
Well the technical difficulties have been overcome. It was not a viral problem as previously suspected, it was a "Windows crashed and didn’t come back so I blame Microsoft" problem. Anyways, we’re back…
In the beginning, Salim’s World was without form. And Salim said, let there be site, and there was a site… and it was good
In the course of constructing this site I went through many different purposes it could serve and eliminated most of them. I am not expert enough in any one area to start a reference site for anything and generally don’t have enough free time to start a fan site. I was thinking of hosting online games, but I bought this computer in 1996 and am not capable of running any software that was created in the last year. I don’t know enough people to run a chat server and because of hardware limitations (and access to the materials) I can’t run a porn server!
So, in the end, I settled this site being a place to express myself and provide a place for people to come by, amuse themselves, engage in conversation and generally blow off a little steam. I hope you enjoy yourself.
I took most of these pictures on this site during my brief stay in Atlanta. Compared to the rest of the US, the South is a different world! Anyways, none of the pictures on this site were fabricated or doctored in any way and most of them come from or around Atlanta, GA and Columbia, SC.
If you have any suggestions for this site, any content that you think would be neat to see, anything that is cool, let me know.
Scary facts:
- Go to Infoseek and do a search for salim tyabji. Look at the second link to find one of the groups that the Disney corporation thinks I run
- None of the pictures on this page were fabricated, they are all real… there really is a bar in San Francisco “where good friends and girls meet”, there really is a store called Piggly Wiggly, the flea markets in South Carolina really feel it necessary to ban snakes and Bubba really looks like that (at least in Vegas he did).
