this is a bit outdated now: SETI@home is a scientific experiment, run by UC Berkeley, that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).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

the best start page i ever had was my.netscape.com. but when they stopped supporting external sites, and started to provide their own content alone, i started looking for alternatives. in the past few months i setled on my.yahoo.com , that allows adding your own RSS feeds, as well as yahoo! content. but the layout isn't optimal. i prefer the three column layout of my.netscape.com, and i also liked the possiblility to move the content blocks around just by dragging them with the mouse (and i liked it even more because IE couldn't do it

). another problem with it is that hebrew rss titles are not linked to their respective articles.

now, i think i found the perfect my.netscape.com alternative: www.netvibes.com, a new startup, based in france, i think. it has RSS/Atom/OPML, movealbe blocks, and, it supports hebrew! try it out.

Microsoft has similar program named start.com (http://start.com). Although it is made by Microsoft, it look quite the same as netvibes, but has no google search box availble.

Works well with Firefox. ;-)

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.
