Today (Sat, 22 Aug) marks the start of the fasting month for Muslims. So to those celebrating*, Happy Fasting, and may the Holy Month of Ramadhan shower blessings. As they say in Indonesian, Selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa. Mohon ma’af lahir dan bathin. The second part of the sentence is a request for forgiveness, in the physical and in spirit, which I wholeheartedly extend for any mistakes I may have done. Generality is a core programming tenet I like, so I extend this request to everyone, not just my Muslim friends celebrating :P.

• I don’t, but I usually show up after the fast at sunset as the yummy food is prepared.
