Yediot article about Olamot 2005

Hey !
I appeared in the paper today!
This article about Olamot 2005 tells about the convention, and has a picture of Me, Green Lee, the Darth vader guy.
Both me and lee are in the background so it’s not so easy to recognize us. Plus she’s green.
Other then that, it’s nice to be actually see ourselves in the paper, because they took like a 100 pictures of us, and the previous article about it only had a picture of the darth vader guy…
I took the photographer’s phone number and i’ll call him to ask him for the other 99 pictures…

I didn’t forget my report of The hitch hiker’s guide to the galaxy movie, but i’ll give you a link i the mean time:

Best Episode Ever !

Hey.

This week the Passover Sci-fi Convention took place at the Cinemateque.
I had a lot of fun, bought mechendise, gave a lecture, took pictures, and watch the BEST STAR TREK ENTERPRISE EPISODE EVER !

“In The Mirror Darkly”, episode 18 of seadon 5 of enterprise was so overwhelming, and watching it with an large audience of trekkies in a big theater was making it better.

My lecture’s presentaion can be found here.
And the pictures i took from the convention will be Here, in my hall of pictures when i’ve done uploading them.

Today i woke up, and had a lot of internet catching up to do, because i didn’t get much home internet time this week, things just piled up. And I helped Amnon with a math arithmatic problem.
I need a short vacation from the lack of free time i had during passover. Working full time AND trying to attend a 3 day long convention without taking any days off from work was a straining task.

A Working Day From Hell

I had the worst working day i’ve had since working for majorem.

I don’t care if anyone from work reads this, and it gets me fired like i heard some bloggers get.

I Had an argument with my boss, a bad presentaion that was accompenied with arguing with the QA manager and not being backed up by my boss, an argument with the IT manager telling me to delete my 16GB of mp3’s i already had to copy from cd’s TWICE each time spending a week doing it, an argument with my computer, then some more arguments with my boss and IT manager about the same stuff, and i was so angry and annoyed i couldn’t concentrate on doing anything at work.

BLAH !

But i got an better mood after coming home and watching some Star Trek TOS episode which my “so called” trekkie friends didn’t want to see on friday, and yet another good episode of Veronica Mars.

The Experiment is odd.
Now, i have 4 commercials about web counters, and BLOGs.
I want commercials abtou computer games… !!
Games that are played on the computer
Those virtual entertainment things !
The pieces of software that you have fun with !
YES ! Computer games !
I want commercials for online games, and RPG’s and stuff like play for 5 minutes for free and then pay us !
Why do i get fucking commercials about donations, brain tumors, and WEB COUNTERS !
I have and want none of those !
Especially the brain tumors.

experiments

I’ve decided to give Google Adsense a try in this site too.
I use their ad services for car4ron and i keep getting weird ads.
I wonder what kind of wierd ads i’ll get when i plug in my blog to their ad engine.

What’s this ?
An add about brain tumors ? and another about an international non-profit youth exchange ?
how the fuck did google decide that my readers have potential brain tumors? and why would you want to exchange your youth ?
I know my youth sucked, but to exchange it ?

Anyways, tell me if you see any interesting ads.
Oh, and obviously feel free to click on any of them, while keeping true to Google’s policies which states that i shouldn’t force any of you to click on them.

”Not again”

first, Amnon, what stories do you want to hear ? Or rather which ones should i bothre to type up ?

Regardless, I have two tales for today.

I went to work yesterday feeling sick, but i had a presentation to give out at 15:00. So after the company’s toast for passover at,i told my boss i’m leaving to get some rest at home, and if i don’t call by 14:30, i’m not coming to give the presentation. He told me to feel well, and go before I infect someone else, like HIM.
I kept feeling nauseated throughout the day, and even got up nauseated today.

Now, in my opinion, the explanatoin for my frequant nasuea might be one of those:
1. Actual viral agents or bacterias.
2. Alergies
3. Fatigue
4. Stress

It can also be a combination:
S=aX+bY+cZ+dW

I wish i could have eliminate some of those, but i simply can’t. If i want to eliminate Fatigue I get later to work, and then the stress about losing my job increases.
I’ll go check up if i have allergies, and i can’t se a reason why i keep getting infected…

A second tale, speaks of irony.
I set up a Gmail account for my mom a few weeks ago. Ever since, MY maillbox have been filling up all those email forwareded jokes i keep getting form all over. And she doesn’t even send funny ones, or good ones. it’s either crap, or jokes i already read.
So, i decided to use her own medicine against her.
I selected about 300 of the unread joke email i have (out of abour 3000) and pressed forward.
I assumed Gmail can hold up easily those 100mb’s worth of joke emails.
What i didn’t account for, was that my Anti virus software will backfire on me. Apparantly it doesn’t allow emails of more then 35mb’s to be sent, and it’s way of notification is to email you BACK the email you’ve sent.
But unfortunatelym it has a bug which causes it to be sent to every one of your email accounts you have on your computer. So now, my hard drive was filled up with 1.2 GB of JUNK JOKE emails !!!

Does any of you know how to write a script that i can feed mozilla so i’d be able to send 300 emails to my mom without needing to fill in the email address manually ?

Blah….

On a brighter note :
Ron Gilbert is coming to London, and i hope he’ll be around at the same time we will, as he claims he’ll meet up with fellow gamers !

Stories

I have a lot of stories to tell.
This is why I started a blog in the first place. To share interesting stories of my life with others, and to constatly whine and compain about stuff that bothers me.

But, i don’t think i sound like this:
http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert2005041261577.jpg

Oh, and Amnon: i don’t need a pshychologist just because i tend to complain a lot. I need a blog. And some friends who are willing to listen.
I don’t know if you’ve ever BEEN to a pshycologist, but they don’t actually DO anything other then listen to you whine, and ask “and how do you feel about it ?”.
