Kalimat al-Mutafalsif

Well, in case you can't guess from the title, it's been exactly a year since I started this blog. To be more specific, it was November 20th of last year that I registered the domain. This post also (totally not planned, I swear) happens to be my 100th. Again, to be more specific it's my 100th page... pages include things such as my warhammer picture pages and the others you find under "Pages" on the right. So, this'll be a fun past, five days in the making, about all kinds of things dealing with the past year. ((Published a second time, I apologize))

Some History
The domain was registered while taking one of my patented Long Thanksgiving Breaks. That was ThanksGaming 2005, and I grabbed the domain one night while talking to that coder I always mention, Malaprop of Cambrian House. Malaprop kindly put the domain on his site, installed WordPress, and away I went. My first actual post (I believe) was on the 20th of 2005, but it was accidentally deleted, so the first surviving post is from the 21st.

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.
