Marie and I are going on a holiday to Jordan, leaving tomorrow, and there will (I’m sure) be many pictures to share from that. After this: more pictures from the magic kingdom.

The clock tower

The KFUPM clock tower as seen from the top of the mathematics building. Each hour the clock tower rings its bells; I often have to remind myself that this sound, incongruous with its surroundings, is not being made by the bells of the local church.

6 year Blogiversary
Monday, November 3rd, 2008I just noticed that, as of yesterday, I’ve been blogging for 6 years! On November 2nd 2003 I wrote my first post.
Crazy, eh?
I ended the post with the hope that “perhaps some of it [the content of my blog] will rise above the whitenoise of humdrum.”
Let’s make that the aim for the next 6 years also!
