My name is Ahmed Varachia. I was born on March the 17th 1982 in Johannesburg, South Africa. My Motto - Dream > Direction > Dedication > Determination > Destination ...
I’ve worked on a range of technologies, from Lotus Notes, Mainframe, Oracle to PHP (Web development). My vast exposure to different technologies has empowered me to adapt and evolve quickly. Currently I enjoy working on cloud and mobile application development.
I love teaching – its a new found passion for me since 2010. It’s an amazing profession and one of the most rewarding I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been teaching full-time/part-time since 2010 at Berlitz Al Ahsa. I’ve taught English to kids from ages 6 to an adult in his 60s – truly an amazing journey that has really defined my character.
As a human, I like to question everything. I like to understand how things work, why they are how they are, and how it affects what I do. I love working with my hands and converting my crazy ideas into art. From wooden art, painting, and general DIY around the home/office I love to play. Still a very junior photographer with a Nikon 3100 I’ve recently been clicking galore.
Skills // Senior Business Analyst with a passion for technology. With over 15 years experience in IT, and 4 years instructional experience (ESL). I have a creative mind comfortable with working with graphics and web technologies and the ability to adapt and learn quickly are my strengths.

Okay, so we know Google Translate has been around since mmmm forever, but sometimes you just want to transliterate – i.e a word directly without translation. Check out
http://www.google.com/ta3reeb/ or http://www.google.com/intl/ar/inputtools/try/
Both are Google driven and run English to Arabic direct transliteration – however you can do pretty much any language. Pretty cool huh.
Happy Transliterating.

Okay … now I was requested by my nephew to “chip” his PSP 3000. So I followed a beautifully documented guide from mark fixes stuff check his dummy guide Dummies Simple step-by-step Guide to installing PSP Custom Firmware CFW – www.markfixesstuff.co.uk. Very comprehensive indeed – all credits to him.
So these are the summary steps:
Note: This will work on ANY PSP.
Step 1 – updating to latest firmware – Skip to Step 2 if you already on 6.60:
Upgrade your PSP to version 6.60 by downloaded the firmware from Sony’s official site here or EBOOT.
Once downloaded, create a folder named “PSP”. Within the “PSP” folder, create a folder named “GAME”. Within the “GAME” folder, create a folder named “UPDATE”. (Folder names must be in all uppercase letters).
Step 2: – Installing GOD
Download file 6.60-God-VI-Updater and extract onto the memord card. Folders are already defined for you in the zip
Step 3: – Run
Run the GOD updater from GAME
Note: This is only for information purposes, I don’t encourage piracy – if you like the game buy it.
