To avoid comment spam I’ve previously disallowed anonymous comments on this blog. I would like to see if allowing anonymous comments can work without this blog filling up with huge amounts of spam. I still prefer that users register and comment, but now you can just blurt out whatever it is on your mind without [...]
Yesterday the blog went offline for about 12 hours. It started with an “Internal Server Error” around 11am Israel time. I was about to comment on one of my posts when it happened, immediately opened a ticket with DreamHost’s ticket system and was happy to see it being treated promptly – it moved from “unverified” [...]
Over the weekend I moved this blog to DreamHost. They have a deal where you pay less than 10 USD for the first year of hosting and they seem pretty decent. My previous host, IX Web Hosting, really sucked and the blog was hijacked thanks to their stupidity, even during my trip. I hope that [...]
Just a quick note… also, if you know how to make an updated post re-appear on the RSS feed, please let me know.

Next week I’m in Eilat on vacation, so this blog will probably not be updated at least until February 3rd. All six readers of this blog are welcome to check for updates after that time.
Two days ago I was at a party. Even before I went I was informed by the party’s organizer that her friend, who reads my blog, will be there. I always think of the readers of this blog as a collection of people I know, so learning about this “unknown” reader was exciting. At the [...]
Time seems to go on faster lately – it’s been 9 days since I last wrote on this blog and I haven’t noticed. Even though I mostly don’t have much to say and I usually share links, it’s still important to me to regularly write on the blog. The thing is that once you share [...]
This post was initially supposed to be called “Sorry For The Lack Of Updates”, but instead I decided to write about what’s currently going on in my life so that it’ll be apparent why I haven’t been updating as much as before. I moved to a new apartment a few days ago. In four days [...]
