Desktop switch
Finally switched to Debian, there are still some problems
that I'm trying to overcome and some things that I still
need to setup.
One missing thing is setting up Hebrew fonts for TeX.
This is not trivial, though it shouldn't be hard, I remember
someone intended to do a package for it, this will make it
easy enough.
Another missing thing that I fixed is xmmsctrl, this is a
small command line program to control XMMS, I use it to
control XMMS from the "Multimedia" keys on the
keyboard. I've actually made a Debian package for it, I'm
now in a need for someone in Israel to sign my key so I can
start the process of becoming a Debian package maintainer.
Another package I intend to work on is rp3, this is
RedHats PPP frontend for wvdial, I like it so much that I
want it on Debian too, but they use stuff that is tied to
RedHat specific configuration. Will have quite a bit to work
on it. For now I setup a sudo permission to use wvdial from
the command line, I'm fine with it, my significant other
prefers the GUI.
I'm now using Galeon and Mozilla from Debian packages
since I'm suddenly unable to compile Mozilla from sources
due to some /bin/sh problem in nspr, weird!
University
I'm learning for two tests in this week, Physics 1m
(Mechanics and relativity) and Real Analysis, next week I
have Introduction to Operating Systems and that will be all
for this semester. All I'll have after that is a summer
semester for the remaining two physics courses (2m -
Electricity and Magnetism, 3h - Quantum physics).
After this summer semester (ends mid September), I'll be
free as a bird - to be chained to some chair in some office
to do some (hopefully interesting) programming and
development work. Anybody cares to offer an interesting job?

Life? What's that?!
