The Photo Album got a new feature today, thanks to the hard work of Jeroen Wijering and Ety. Jeroen wrote the Flash-based media player that's powering the new video, and Ety took care of Meirav and the whole house for the full day (and night!) that it took me to modify the photos infrastructure to accomodate video as well. Enjoy it! - 2008-02-25
The US Library of Congress is emplying Silverlight to power their website. I wrote to them with my concern, and this is what I get. - 2008-02-24
As many site visitors still use Internet Explorer, which does not support XHTML, I have moved this site back to HTML 4.01 Strict. If you are still using Internet Explorer, please upgrade to either Firefox or Opera. You are holding back the development of the entire web by using that non-compliant browser, not to mention the security holes it opens up in your system. - 2008-02-19

Why are the lights in microwave ovens inconsistent with the lights in refrigerators? The light in the refrigerator is on when the door is open, and supposedly off when the door is shut. The light in the microwave is on when the door is shut, and off when the door is open. - 2007-08-18

As I've got readers all over the world, I've switched the dates into a more international format. Specifically, there's a small country between Canada and Mexico that teaches it's children to write their dates with the day and month transposed. I suppose that digital watches there have the minute shown before the hour, as well. So I've switched to YYYY-MM-DD date format. It's foreign to everybody, everybody can now suffer together. - 2007-08-09
I'm putting together a tutorial for those who want to get into The Gimp. As I've been using simple MS Paint - like programs for years, I figured that was as good a place as any to start my tutorial. I hereby present Going from Paint to The Gimp. Note that the tutorial is so far incomplete: I'm publishing it in piecemeal as time permits. - 2007-07-20
Think that you are receiving spam from DotanCohen.com? You are not. Some email providers with incorrectly or non-standard email configurations are delivering messages from a spammer that is forging the DotanCohen.com domain name. If you are receiving such spam, then tell your email provider to enable SPF authentication. SPF authentication checks to see whether or not the sender of an email is forging his return address. If so, then the message is almost certainly spam, and should be filtered out before it even gets to your mailbox. I know that Nextel, TMOmail, HiNet, and VText customers have been subject to these forgeries. Contact your providers and tell them to enable SPF. For more info, see the What-Is-What article on What is Spam? - 2007-06-15

I've been writing my own Picture Gallery engine, take a look. It's PHP-driven with a MySQL backend.
