[ This ] Why we look at the margins

Commentary, aphorism, subtext and interpretation often illuminate in ways that escape the main text.

Because they help us with fresh comprehension, most of us have a keen ear for hermeneutics and figurative expression even as they need careful balance on what might become dangerously distracting.

[ This ] اولين جمله اولين تکه وبلا گ فارسی من

اولين جمله اولين تکه وبلا گ فارسی من خيلی طول کشید. از زهره برای نشان دادن آریا نویس متشکرم.....

Thanks go to Zohreh for pointing me to Aryanevis Persian editor.

There are still a few glitches but I think I'm on my way, and I'm fast learning the position of letters on the keyboard.

Pooya has now pointed me to Behdad's Persian editor, which comes with a nice large keyboard image making it useful to people like me who've not completely mastered the Persian letters' keyboard placement. Pooya also points to his own Javascript Persian editor, based on earlier work by Behdad.

[ This ] Can Any Piece of Writing Be Worse

I was just reading my entry "An Enigma And A Book," and thought to myself whether any piece of writing could be worse. Now, I know why best writers just write a thousand words a day in a couple of hours and craft it into something decent during the rest of the day.

With that in mind, and with 15 minutes to go while Suse is being installed on my 5-year-old e-Machine with a dead Windows 2000 OS on the disk, I'm going back to see if I can do a bit of editing to rescue the last entry. Hopefully, I will not totally alter it and I will not make it any worse.
