The title of an amazing book that I discovered in the stacks of the Ohio State Fine Arts Library today:
Soieries marocaines, les ceintures de Fès; cinquante planches en couleurs, introduction par Lucien Vogel

Fresh Start

So my blog got hacked, again – though it seems to be a common problem for WordPress users.
The past few months have been quite a rollercoaster, so I didn’t have a lot of time for writing. A few significant events, just recently :
- I went to Morocco on a whirlwind trip over Spring Break, and took classes in MSA at Qalam Wa Lawh while there
- I finished 4 classes during Spring quarter – Modern Middle East (grad level course), Linguistics, Microeconomics, and a short independent study portion of Arabic 103.
- Then, on the day of my last final, my father passed away. Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilahi Raji’un.
So I managed to find a rather old backup of my blog, wiped everything, reloaded from the backup, upgraded the WordPress install, and voila.
Unfortunately, all those posts you now see in the archive are from 2007 and earlier. Ah well. I suppose I’ll want them, someday. Must get started on some new decent stuff to drive the old crap off the front page.
