Knowing that at least a few people are actually reading my blog again makes me feel slightly bad about the Arabic dates. I know I would want to know the date of a post I'm reading. Wrapped up in my own happy world of blogging, I have a tendency to forget how incomprehensible these date headers must be to nearly everyone else. So I'll try to remember to include the date-- in English-- in the post itself. Perhaps I'll activate the Post Title option and use that. Either way, today is Wednesday, 21 July 2004. Happy reading.
