About meI made the syriac tiles in my userpic. or rather, I designed them, a coworker with a computer-controlled woodmill cut them, then I painted, sanded, and poly-ed them. I based the distribution/scores on the Hebrew set sold in Israel (not the one sold in the US, which is universally agreed to be inferior), adjusted per the recommendations of a friend-of-a-friend who was familiar with both Hebrew and Aramaic.

About my libraryA good deal of religion, some Syriac; a good deal of engineering, some math.

With the help of LT, I put my library into LC order, more or less. We'll see how long it stays orderly. My previous organization was by height and what shelf was closest to my hand but not too full when I wanted to put a book away.
