Over the weekend, I moved this blog to a new host. My previous hosting plan was at the Israeli provider HostCenter. I would recommend them to anyone specifically looking for an Israeli host and in need for person-to-person customer service in Hebrew (their customer service is very good). But the Internet is global by nature [...]
Today I got a call from a former manager of mine in Motorola. He kindly asked me to remove references to my work at Motorola. Since they chose the high road and decided to ask me this personally with a friendly voice (as opposed to using a lawyer) I agreed to the request and removed [...]
Over the last few days I upgraded this blog’s software from WordPress 1.5.2 to 2.0.4. Hopefully this will keep me on the “cutting edge” of blog technology. Also, as you can see, I switched over to a new theme, called plaintxtBlog by Scott. Hebrew doesn’t look as well as English with this theme, but that [...]
Obviously, I can’t seem to handle maintaining this blog right now. Before this new job I used to go over a lot of data and post the stuff that seemed interesting to me here, but right now this is pretty much impossible for me to go over the same amounts of daily news as I [...]
Lately, the issue of the subject of this blog came up a lot. I guess the blog isn’t so interesting to everyone as it used to be when it came out. So I would like to answer that question as best as I can: I set up this weblog so I could write both about [...]
הבלוג עדיין סובל מבעיות בעברית. הפעם הבנתי, בעזרת חושי התכנות המדהימים שלי, שברגע שמופיעה תגובה בעברית (כמו, למשל, לרשומה הקודמת על בזק) כל העברית במסדי הנתונים הופכת להיות בלתי קריאה. אמנם בבלוג אפשר לראות הכל כמו שצריך, אבל אני לא יכול לגבות את זה. מאחר ואני במדיניות של “מה שלא נמצא בגיבוי לא קיים”, מחקתי [...]
טוב, אז יום אחד קמתי בבוקר וגיליתי שכל הרשומות בעברית בבלוג הפכו לג’יבריש. אין לי מושג מה קרה, אבל הצלחתי לתקן את זה. לצערי, לא היה לי גיבוי של הרשומות והתגובות בעברית. זה לא שלא ניסיתי לגבות אותם, אבל הנסיונות שלי עלו בתוהו. זאת אומרת שיש כעשר רשומות שנהרסו ולעולם לא יחזרו, אבל זה לא [...]
Unfortunately, I am unable to resolve the Hebrew font problems with this blog for now. I mean, I can post new Hebrew posts, but the ones that I had seem to have turned into gibberish. I will try to resolve this, but for now – posting will be done in English only.
This blog is experiencing some problems with the display of Hebrew characters. Unfortunately, I can’t handle them from work, so it might take a while until Hebrew is displayed correctly.
Today I’m on reserve duty, so there will be no more updates today. See you tomorrow, and have a great day.
