The Enemy and the Idiot

Kamangir | May 6, 2007 | Category Iran

Hossein Derakhshan (Hoder) published a post today with a fake time stamp. In that post, he talks about his guess about my real identity. Without talking about the serious danger he is causing for me, it is a silly action from someone who calls himself the “godfather of the Iranian blogsphere” to pretend that he has talked about my real name in his blog in April, while Google Cache shows that he is lying. To keep this for future, I am saving both pages.

His search for my real identity started recently, after he failed to agitate me, and other users of the biggest Iranian community on the web, Balatarin, with his ridiculous comments. As I have mentioned previously, he is not an enemy, he is just an idiot. This might help a bit knowing the cause of his anger.

p.s. To the right is a snapshot from Technorati which shows when he has published that post.

The Three Projects

Kamangir | May 6, 2007 | Category Iran

I admit it. Lately, I have not been posting very regularly, mainly because of three big projects. Finally, I realized that there is no point in communicating with Iranians in English. So, I started a Persian blog, where I write about things which are mainly to the interest of the Persian-speaking audience. On top of that, I started a photoblog. In addition to the photographs I take (or have taken), the photoblog is a good way to organize news-related photographs in occasions when there are many pictures available. A simple example would be when there is a protest in Iran, as there always is one happening somewhere in the country, and I translate the banners. I will create an album for any occasion like this. The last project was moving Azadeh in. She has been writing since last October. Now, she is here and will write more about “A Feminist Skeptical Muslim”. Aside from these, everything is fine. I am going to London at the end of next June and everything seems to be fine. How are you doing?
