I prefer programming, using and administrating Linux.
I am a proud Haifux. I am one of Hamakor's founding members. I used to be on the board during 2005-2006, but I am not even a member anymore.
Blogs
I keep several online diaries for different purposes.
- livejournal describes events and thoughts in my life in English.
- On linmagazine, where I am a fellow editor, I keep a Hebrew column about free software culture.
- On planet.hamakor.org.il you can find the RSS feed of those of my entries on linmagazine, which are relevant to my activity in Hamakor, as well as blogs of other Hamakor active members.
- On advogato
I used to write in English about free software activities.
Free Software
-
syscalltrack where I contributed osme perl scripting and webmastering.
- make_site - a package I prepared in order to create standard compliant, textual-browser friendly websites with albums of pictures. This version creates a Hebrew site, including a built-in album, using the album tool (which is not free software).
Web Sites
I am webmaster of the following sites:
Books
Once, I used to be a bookworm.
Nowadays,
I am a bookcrosser. I also keep a book wishlist. I arrange book crossing events in Linux and free software events which I participate in organizing.
For that purpose, I wrote a Hebrew Book Crossing Invitation. All this activity is sometimes covered in the newspapers. An article about bookcrossing was published in Yedioth.
Theatre
I participated in the play
"Caramba's Revenge",
by the
Haifa English Theatre as Ronnie.
PR pics and some more.
Academically
I am interested in game theory, and especially in aspects of
game theory regarding scheduling of clusters.
Soon I will be starting my PhD on a related subject.
Public Key
-Mom, I want one too. Can I have one?
-OK, but you must promise to look after it.
Here is your public key. OK?
You can even watch your web of trust.
Food
My father is from Tunis, and my mother's parents are from Polland. I started collecting our traditional Tunis Recipes to go with that.
Cats
The current ruler of the house is Maud, found on September 11th, 2002, aged about 3 months. She is pretty stupid and a bit crippled.
But she comes right away when she is called or whistled, especially if she is outside.
She is very conversational, which is a trait of
Siamese cats.
I write because they are there to be written.
The stories are in Hebrew, except for one translation.
