I just made my first ebuild commit to sunrise ( the gentoo user overlay).
Now I’m waiting to see if it’s going to pass the review:)
if so, sunrise users will so be able to checkout soundkonverter ( cool proggy).
I wonder if I should translate it to hebrew on the way…

Since I decide to write almost everyday, I guess I should write on my not so special days as well.
So I had a nice driving lesson (didn’t need to cover my eyes even once).
And I guess I finally figured out what caused my computer to disconnect from the net.
It seems that the router had the intrusion detection option on, and it seems not to like bittorrent clients.
Now it finally works well, and Michal can finally stream her cds that we ripped on my computer.
I thought about writing a small howto on how to set an itunes server on your computer and how to set windows to use it but I think there wasn’t anything too interesting about it anyhow. Just install mt-daap take 5 minutes to configure it and run it as the server. On the client side use banshee if you are on Linux, use itunes or the winamp plugin if you are on windows and you’re done.

A few pictures from what Michal(wife) made for dinner
Just to make the 2 people that read my blog jealous.

Having a birthday tomorrow,
I really like my birthday on shavout, as it combines a lot of the things I like in life into one day.
Eating milk products, staying up all night, and of course studying Tora 
My birthday couldn’t have fit me better

Oil burns when it’s too long on the fire
You do NOT use water to try to stop it from burning
The above two steps are great for ruining your wife’s favorite pan
Luckily wife came back from watching the eurovision in a good mood….

Few month ago my computer died. It pretty much burned up. If it was the first time that computer burned up I might have concidered fixing it, but being the third time in the last year I thought it’s probably the time to get a new computer. luckily for me my parents also got tired of hearing horror stories about my computer, and agreed to sponsor the new computer. I’m sure that if anyone would have read my blog he would have wondered which computer it is and ask all sort of boring questions about hardware types and stuff. So just to get it out, it’s a e6400 with geforce 7 something and 2 gig memory ( life feels a lot better knowing that no?;).
Anyhow after failing to install windows on the computer because of the sata controller, and fighting various live cds with the same problem, I got to a very nice gentoo based distribution called sabayon. Sabayon is actually a gentoo overlay, which is also distributed as binary dvd.
I guess that’s enough for today, more about my gentoo adventure on the next episode;)
