Ramadan will be this year Oct 27th - Nove 25th. Happy Ramadan for those of us who celebrate it.
While I was in UK, I knew and worked with many people celebrating (can I use the word celebrate for ir?) it, and many Muslims enjoyed working night shifts that time. That was a lot easier for them, leaving the few (December..) light hours to be spent sleeping.
It was surprising to discover how the Ramadan celebrations and practises vary from culture to culture and country to country. If someone here celebrates it, it'd be interesting to know how and how it was when you were small, or how your parents liked it etc. (Note: I have the same curiosity for Halloween. I haven't so far seen it 'in real life', not untill now..)
Actually, I never manage(d?) to write in any non-western language (e.g. japanese) using safari, just in camino. Did you type that in Safari, Immanuel?
I often use Camino, although this time I used Mozilla 1.5. Safari doesn't accept non-Latin text in forms, and otherwise displays them incorrectly in some instances.
I like Safari better aesthetically, but as long as this problem persists I cannot have it as my ?default browser?.
Hey that is pretty cool; I saw the Arabic text last night on my Mac and now this morning on Windows XP with Mozilla it shows up too without asking to download those language packets.

Having been invited to a few Levantine Ramadhan nights, I cannot say I grasped much of the finer traditional minutiae but the food is excellent.
