Plan for your holidays with Tatilyab

I wrote a service that by entering the Persian date, you can find out if that day is an official holiday or not (Official+Friday)

And soon, the possibility of entering other years, the ability to search for a period of time, and activating a programming interface for use in other services (JSON API) will be available.

Update:

  • Fixed the problem of entering Persian and Arabic numbers (thanks to @arashmil)
  • Displaying errors for incorrect day numbers.
  • Discontinued.

Bug, Araz’s Giraffe

In late 2013, following my research on character design, I started a practical project called “Araz’s Giraffe” which later chose the name “Bug” for itself. The reason for choosing a giraffe as the main animal character was my personal interest in giraffes. This interest can be traced back to the first time I became acquainted with Darwin’s theory of evolution. Even Maggie, who was on my desk, had a giraffe design on herself for a long time.

Accordingly, the project started, and by opening a Twitter account for Bug, I began tweeting from its perspective. The role of Bug was similar to a pet that blinked around me and made funny comments. I drew a lot of inspiration for the details of the character of Bug from Pumuckl, the character in the Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl series.

Update:
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I am no longer able to continue this project and the Bug account is no longer active.

Bug’s latest tweet was posted at 11:37 on October 21st, 2017.
