So, let's see if I can count how many ways I was a jerk in the last entry...
1. I chose a language not supported by most Windows machines. I don't even know if Vista supports it.
2. I chose a deliberately obscure language, so those who might be able to see it probably wouldn't recognize it.
3. Even if the reader might potentially recognize it and even be able to read it, they might think the date is all wrong for my message.
The language involved was Tibetan. Transliterated, it stated "lo gsar bkra shis bde legs" (pronounced "losar tashi delek"); translated, that's "Happy New Year." That date was one of two accepted dates for the Lunar new year (the other taking place during FC).
So, in spite of all that asininity, I was still sending a happy message. :3
Last week, I resigned to attempting to write at least a half-hour a day; however, that kind of fell through when sleep and allergies stabbed me in the face. I'll get back into the swing of things here soon, I'm sure.

The default fonts on Firefox/Ubuntu didn't support it either... but I had already assumed it was Tibetan and would be indistinguishable from any other Tibetan I've seen, so didn't make any effort to find a better font.

Heh, just be glad you didn't get a cold like I have.
