this is a bit outdated now: SETI@home is a scientific experiment, run by UC Berkeley, that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).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!

mozip.NET update

at first, i tought to use the existing mozip as a library, and call the relevant functions from the C# code. but since mozip is so command-line oriented, i reached a conclusion this won't be possible without serious modifications to the original code, that will in effect make it useless for the original mozip. so i decided to port mozip to C# entirely, and call all the Win32 API it uses from the C# code. this isn't so trivial, since the Win32 API is in C, but C# has a special syntax for accomplishing that, and that worked out nicely. i was even able to pass a C# function to the API C function to run.

so far i wrote the part that opens the installer and displays the moduls in it. now i have to clear the bugs from it so it actually works :)

while at it i found some problems in the original code, such as un-released memory, unused variables, what seems like insufficient memory allocation, one function that is never called from anywhere else, and terrible indentation. i'll sum this up and send it to piaip, the mozip creator.

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.
