Intentions

Post by: on August 8th, 2006 | Filed Under Arabic, Interests, Security, Tunisia

Now for an official "I'm back" post:

I just returned from 32 days in the lovely country of Tunisia. It was a great trip in a lot of respects, but especially because I was able to talk with old and new friends about some issues in many subjects that we were interested in. They involved politics (remember, I don't touch politics in terms of people/events, only systems and hypotheticals) and governments mainly, as I was the only computer lover in the group, but there was also a few conversations about computer security. On top of those, I had some other ideas that I wanted to post here, so hopefully I'll have a large number of posts coming out in the coming days. To that end, here's a table of contents about what I want to post on.

  • Tunisia - Overview of my trip (Only whiney bloggy type of post I do, I promise).
  • Tunisia - Their Law versus US Law (In terms of how much is required)
  • Tunisia - Study of Transportation
  • Tunisia - Study of
  • Government - What is Ideal?
  • Freedom - Freedom of Information
  • Freedom - How the Middle East is More Free
  • Security - Ensuring Secure Communications in a Police State

Now, as long as that list is, there's a few I'm forgetting because I'm still jet-lagged, and its 5 am. So to end, welcome our new member, you know who you are.

Well, I'm back from my study abroad, and have many ideas for new posts. The only problem I had was to find 180 comments when I returned, 147 of whixh are spam, and about half of those were pornographic in nature. I apologize for this and not being able to remove them for a month.

I just cleaned them all out and I'll be increasing the difficulty on my CAPTCHA (sorry, it annoys me too, but it hopefully keeps bots out) to prevent this from happening further.
