Sick
It seems like I have got that martian flu that’s doing the rounds right now. The only place I can think of where I could have gotten it from is PhotoDude. But flu viruses can’t travel through cyberspace, can they?
I’ll be back when I am better.
UPDATE (12/20 7:49pm): I am feeling much better. Still feeling tired flu-like but no fever since morning. This is the strangest flu I have ever had. Hope it’s gone.

Well, it turns out my McAfee had not been updated with the virus signatures. :-)
Gatorade and Acetaminophin is what I have relied on as well.
My flu has been very uncharacteristically mild. I had very high fever yesterday, but my temperature seems to be normal since morning. Not much problems with nose and throat either, though I feel tired.

It is over here as well. The damned flu. I just got out of it. Everyone here had it about a week ago.

Urdu: To comment in Urdu, include "p[ur](urdu). " (with a space at the end and without the quotes) at the start of every Urdu paragraph. If you want to write an Urdu word(s) in an English paragraph, do it like this: %[ur](urdu)اردو%. If you want to put an English word(s) in an Urdu paragraph, write it like this: %[en](en)English words%.
PGP Signing: PGP-signed comments are encouraged. However, clearsigning Urdu text with GPGshell produces garbage.
MathML: Select the Textile with itex to MathML text filter. What you'll use is itex, which is a superset of WebTeX and differs somewhat from standard LaTeX.
Text Filters: For regular comments, whether in English or Urdu, keep the text filter setting to its default of Textile 2. Change it to Textile with itex to MathML when writing MathML.
I figured for sure you were using some form of anti-viral software.
Sorry the bug found you. I think I had a relatively light case of it (my wife had it worse), and I felt like hell for two days, plus three additional recovery days where I was puny/slow.
Gatorade, Robotussin, Acetaminophin, and lots of rest are the best things I can recommend. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
