this is a bit outdated now: SETI@home is a scientific experiment, run by UC Berkeley, that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.
First, download the analyzing program . It has versions for almost any computing platform, and a nice screen saver version for desktop PCs (Win9x/NT) and Macs, so it doesn't even interferes with your work! the first time you run it you'll be asked to log in, and that's it!

kinner net

now we can tell: last weekend, 7-9 april, the second annual Kinner-net simposium was held at Ohalo (mozilla unfriendly site). attendents were asked not to talk about before it starts, as to not to attract the media, but now it's ok.

except for smashing computer monitors by throwing hard disks on them (which wast heavy enough, so we switched to rocks), flying rockets in the air, flying soft dring bottls in the air using compressed air, a gadjethone in which some people brought some mid-'80 stuff that still work (including one sinclair box), sending letters to God using a helium balloon after printing them on a point-of-sale machine, and other, less crazy but just as fun events, we also talked about some serious stuff.

the talkes in which i attended, included a talk about the next generation of the web: things like what we will see in web applications, web services, meta-data, etc. a talk about email 2.0: what should email include that it doesn't have now, how to fight spam. open source: how to turn a passive user to an active one. i'll post about them in the comming days.

In 1997 I tried studying for a degree in physics at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev , but failed a course in thermodynamics and machanical statistics, and couldn't complete the degree. After working here and there to save money I started in studying something easyer and more appealing in 2002: Computer Science at the Tel-Aviv-Jafa College.

I am also involved in the Mozilla project, where I lead a team of people that translate Mozilla to hebrew. we have a web site at www.mozilla.org.il.

I made a page explaineing how to write Assembler code in MS-Visual C++ 6.0, you might find usefull.
