    Hello all,

    My name is Jad, I'm 29 from Beirut, Lebanon. I came here thinking this was a domain forum only but was happy to find a nice big community of people from various places who talk about many subject from programming to domains to weddings and happy birthdays.

    A little about me. I studied computer science and graduated in 2002. Worked for a year making .Net software in a hospital for doctors, then moved to start my own business which I registered in 2003. I've been working with 3 buddies developing flash and e-commerce websites, and virtual tours for the local market.

    My favorite hobbies are scuba diving and fishing. I didn't catch big fish yet. My biggest one was a 2.5 foot parrot fish. I'm planning to fish on a boat though. A friend of mine got a nice 4 foot fish with a live bait by turning of the boat's gas motor and using a battery motor to lessen the noise.

    ciao

    Hello Kerosene, thank you for your welcome and sorry for the late reply. Actually my sister is in an animal shelter/help group called Beta(Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) http://animals.beirut.com . They have like 200 dogs and cats which they shelter and feed. I did a little sheltering to help them with some cats which they needed a place to stay. I have an extra room in the house which I put little houses and supplies for the cats, nice experience. We went once and to rescue a cat who was stuck in an old building in a rusty non functional elevator. I had to break a wooden door which covered the old rusty elevator but we had fun that day using different tools to open doors and a long clip to catch the cat hiding inside.

    On another note regarding foods we eat always. I have to say though most people like to eat fish and chicken and its not bad. I'm sure many like sushi too :)

    We do support the ethical treatment of animals but at the same time we should enjoy some of nature's delicious foods in quantities that don't harm the animal population.
