« Two notes from Lebanon | Veiling the lady »
August 30, 2005
Public Service Announcement No. 1: aljazeera.com still not al Jazeerah.
A small note, one which I like to make whenever I run across someone in the English language world (online) citing to aljazeera.com as "al Jazeera(h)" clearly thinking it is the famous Arab TV Sat station. aljazeera.com is still not al-Jazeerah, which you can find online at aljazeera.net.
I will continue with this small public announcement until, at some point in a likely far distant future, the error is expunged. Or I get blown up. One or the other.

...the error is expunged. Or I get blown up. One or the other.
Or both.

Oh we can bloody well count on errors never being expunged.
I might, however, get crushed by a mad driver instead of getting blown up, though.
But getting squished has so little charm as opposed to the rather more flambouyant boom!
