I started a new category about my search for self improvement
Somewhere I can post about silva, NLP and other cool links I found
So the first link is a site with very nice games that meant to improve your brain
Network card
June 1, 2007 at 3:33 pm (Free software)
I was wondering for few days why my network card doesn’t work on new kernels, I had few minutes free now so I diffed the driver of the new and old versions.
#ifdef broken
/* This device causes data corruption problems that are not resolved */
{ PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_MARVELL, 0x4364) }, /* 88E8056 */
#endif
now they tell me…
*sigh*
Yet another week
June 1, 2007 at 2:38 pm (life)
So what happened on this week,
I started a new silva course, last course was very useful for me. It taught me how to focus and how to program my brain to do cool stuff, like wake up on time, be able to get rid of tiredness (well at least for a bit) and so on. The new course is dedicated to ways to help you achieve goals in life. It teaches how to focus in a goal mentally how to convince yourself you can achieve it, and how to fight mental blocks standing in your way. I home that will get me more in focus about life 
My driving lessons are advancing, now I need to finally collect the mental energy to go do the theory test. Being for around 10 hours a day in university makes it a bit hard to try to study yet another thing. So much things to do so little time 
I’ve continued playing with my gentoo, still couldn’t figure out why it keep disconnecting from the net, and now I found a new kernel “feature” while 2.6.21-rc5 works nicely with my network card, all the versions above it doesn’t even recognize it. Maybe I should start diffing the sky2 driver to figure out what the problem is.
And of course, today is my non Jewish birthday, I usually get reminded about it from people messaging me on icq
And last but not least two more pictures from Michal’s artistic cooking, this time featuring chalut for shabbat
my first sunrise commit
May 25, 2007 at 12:02 pm (Free software)
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…
a not so special day
May 24, 2007 at 9:11 pm (Free software, life)
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.
Birthday / Shavuot dinner

A few pictures from what Michal(wife) made for dinner
Just to make the 2 people that read my blog jealous.
Birthday
May 22, 2007 at 8:47 am (life)
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
what I learned this week
May 19, 2007 at 9:47 pm (life)
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….
New computer new distribution
May 18, 2007 at 3:36 pm (Free software)
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;)
Europark
August 27, 2006 at 8:46 pm (life)
On Thursday me and Michal took the kids to the euro-park.
I must say it’s one of the poorest theme park I’ve ever seen, and prices there are sky high, but as we all know location is everything so there were more than enough people around.
Kids seemed to have especially since at some point my little brother and my parents joined in. (And of course did the usual grandparents giving candies act)
In the end only brave Savion went on must of the attractions there, Eran didn’t want to spin (yes, theme-park is a very bad place to find non spinning games) and Noga seemed not to like the idea too much either. On the other hand they were both thrilled about watching Savion. When she went on the roller coaster they seemed to be more excited than her:)
And one last picture of Noga with the cell phone her mom won at one of the stands
Lesson of the day: don’t eat popcorn just before raiding on a roller coaster, it’s very not good on the stomeck!
