  1. This is really, really, good. Glad I read it. Every single word. But you forgot “learn to juggle.” Very good list. I am Digging and stumbling and delicious-ing it.

  2. You should be happy I went through all the work to do a Digg submit for you. The only problem is they think it’s my story. Hope your glad at #1 and sorry about #2. It will still direct to this site.

  3. hehehe lol all you listed is really helpfull for us but when i dont have net, i just play games in my PPC ;)

  4. I did many of those things when it happened to me..

    Good list.. he he..

  5. Hahha, man cool! maybe next time you could make a post about things to do when your blog is hacked… ;-)

  6. Wow Rajaie you sure did put a lot of effort into getting this done! I stumbled it for you. ;)

  7. Haha.. good one! I sleep when their is no internet… ;)

  8. by random_guy at 12:30 pm on 27/08/08

    I found this list quite useful… and funny as well. Well written, good job mate ;)

  9. nice list rajaie , i just came back from 5 weeks vacation on beach i made sure to stay away from any computer, and i did most of things on this list

  10. by Rajaie AlKorani at 1:32 pm on 27/08/08

    @Nathaniel, thanks mate, I really appreciate it

    @narendra.s.v, heheh, nice thinking :P

    @PC, thanks

    @Melvin, I actually will be making a post about something similar in the near future

    @Lucas, yes, it did take quite a bit of time, thanks for the Stumble

    @Rockstar Sid, sleeping is always the first option for many :P

    @random_guy, thanks mate

    @Jim, welcome back!

  11. Really really good! I usually complain that there is no internet when there is no internet. :D

  12. by Rajaie AlKorani at 1:48 pm on 27/08/08

    @Ganesh, complaining is my specialty :P

  13. 99. Cry DesperatelyHehe, this one rocks xD

    Luckily for me, when I’m not online my girlfriend keeps me busy all the time :P

  14. by Rajaie AlKorani at 5:49 pm on 27/08/08

    @Ikki, also one of my favorites

  15. how about going to a cybercafe to go online.

  16. by Rajaie AlKorani at 7:44 pm on 28/08/08

    @axioblogger, check out number 94 :P

  17. Hi Rajaie,

    Your list reminded me that I spend WAY too much time online. By doing so, we miss a lot of life.

  18. Great list!

    It’s always good to have some humor on the blog! :mrgreen:

    - Swastik -

  19. by Rajaie AlKorani at 8:27 am on 29/08/08

    @Barbara Swafford, hehe, that is the case for many people nowadays, it’s always a good idea to turn off your PC and go do something else for a change

    @Swastik, of course, I am usually attracted to blogs with a bit of humor in them then other more “professional” blogs

  20. I can’t picture myself without the internet anymore. There’s nothing I rather do than to be online.

  21. by Rajaie AlKorani at 1:52 pm on 30/08/08

    @KushMoney, same here, but it’s kind of sad to be honest how the Internet has taken over many people’s lives nowadays, I mean, what were people doing 70 years ago?

  22. 102. Have a conversation with someone, while pretending to type it out on an imaginary keyboad.

  23. by Mary_Jane at 4:38 am on 31/08/08

    Ya, I agree. Too many people waste away in front of their monitors nowadays. What you should do, right now if your reading this but if not, as soon as possible, is shut off your computer, buy 1 gram of weed from your local dealer (get crip; reg is for *******), smoke that shit, and do some of the things this kind person has listed you should do when you have no internet. You’ll find life can be quite enjoyable without the internet. ; )

    =P

    XD

  24. by Rajaie AlKorani at 12:53 pm on 31/08/08

    @Rick, lol, nice one XD

    @Mary Jane, hehehe, interesting suggestions ;)

  25. 102. Instead of playing chess online, play in in a real tournament face to face. It’s much better anyway.

  26. Very nice post, I just thought that I will have nothing to do without internet.

    You make me realizes that there still some other things worth doing in my life. :)

  27. Laugh Out Loud! I don’t think I can do that! Internet has been my closest companion. Even the 101 things above would not bring back my mood….but it is a great list…!

  28. Random post
    Bit different to normal, but fun and cool
    thanks for the tips

  29. by Rajaie AlKorani at 7:07 pm on 31/08/08

    @Dan, ah yes, chess is always much funner when your playing face-to-face with someone, especially if they’re as good as me :D

    @Funny Guy, I usually just sit around when I have no Internet access, but it’s always good to get up and do something different

    @Arrica Lee, same here, the 101 things might help me forget about the “issue” temporarily but never completely :P

    @Ryan McLean, just thought it would be nice to make a few different posts every now and then :)

  30. @#52. WEEEEIRD!

    @#60. Interesting…..

    #103. Let “about:robots” typed in your browser lead to Firefox bug programming guide [http://www.firefoxfacts.com/2008/05/30/more-about-the-about-in-firefox/] where you learn that you can type in “about:mozilla”, where you will be quoted fake anti-christ-loving sounding “scripture” that will freak your shi* out until you wikipedia it and find out it was put in by two irrelevant employees about their company… What???

    Almost uninstalled Firefox permanently…

    Funny…

  31. by Rajaie AlKorani at 10:52 pm on 31/08/08

    @Melissa, I never knew about “about:mozilla” before, there sure must be tons of hidden gems in Firefox that have yet been discovered!

  32. when i dont have the net i like to take heroin.

  33. by Rajaie AlKorani at 1:00 pm on 01/09/08

    @bec, I see… :O

  34. by parappa at 2:08 pm on 02/09/08

    If you had no Internet connection, you wouldn’t be reading this site…

    But again well said, if your don’t have a connection, get out and enjoy life…If passes us too quickly to spend most of it in front of a screen. Enjoy the ones you love and take time away from the computer for yourself…

  35. by Rajaie AlKorani at 2:55 pm on 02/09/08

    Hey parappa,
    Hehe, true :) It’s always a good idea to set yourself specific times in which you’ll be using the computer, that way you’ll have time to do other things as well.

  36. lies…LOL

  37. Um, how are you supposed to learn things without the internet?

  38. by Rajaie AlKorani at 10:42 pm on 02/09/08
