I’ve been far too busy to continue posting on my blog; it’s been about a month and a half since my last post. The thing is, the technology news as seen on places like Slashdot is getting to be too much to summarize and I can’t muster the energy anymore. And besides, not many people read my blog anyways, lol.

So what’s happened over the past two months? Well school is almost over. I have an exam for csc443 – Database Technologies on May the 5th and that’ll be it; I’ll be graduating with an Hon. B.Sc. with a specialist in Software Engineering and a major in Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations, probably with a cumulative GPA of 3.3 (can’t change much now) and a language citation (for advanced study of the Arabic language).

There’s a high probability that I’ll be starting work on May 11. In preparation for that, I’ve been delving into the .NET framework and C#; I’ll post my summaries about the two shortly.

Most of the poems that I submitted to various magazines have been rejected. Although slightly disappointing. it’s not much of a surprise. I am still, however, waiting on two magazines.

I will be continuing my pursuit of Arabic scholarship with my old instructor. We will be starting soon – probably on Thursday evenings or something via Skype – and we’ll start with a book on Arabic rhetoric. Speaking of which, we’ve completed about 25 tutorials on LearnArabicOnline and I’m now working on making sure they are uniform and I’m adding internal links. It’s soon to become an authoritative site on the classical language… it’s so weird; my tutorials as authoritative works?

Stay tuned. In the meantime, here’s a hilarious video from SNL (Saturday Night Live) that I just can’t stop listening to. It’s obviously a parody of rap music… hilarious! Disclaimer: lots of coarse language and not recommended for my Muslim friends who read my blog.
