Happy Birthday To Me. I’m 35

Wow. 35. This age comes with some serious what-am-I-doing-with-my-life kind of thoughts. Being unemployed, single and living with a cat at that age is hardly normative (at least in Israel) and despite being very content with the current situation it’s hard not to ponder other life choices. In any case, it’s time for the yearly [...]

Followup Dindy Update

A week after the previous update, I started getting crash reports on the Android developer dashboard. The core reason for the crashes was that I started building Dindy against a newer Android platform version. As a result, a compatibility hack related to how services are started stopped doing its work and Dindy started crashing. To [...]

Dindy Got An Update

After a year of not updating Dindy and mainly apologizing to users from time to time because Dindy doesn’t work on their phones, I finally updated Dindy. The trigger was a change made in Locale, which Dindy supports. Sadly enough, I’m pretty sure it will still won’t work on many phones. I still haven’t managed [...]

Taking The Week Off From Running Due To Pain

I’ve been doing the same running routine for quite a while now – 3 times a week, 11.5km. Lately I’ve been experiencing some pelvic pain that refuses to go away. In 2 days I’m going to see an orthopedic doctor but for now, after reading online about some of the possible ailments (like Osteitis Pubis), [...]

Switzerland Once More

So I was in Switzerland again with J and it was great. Here are the pictures.

Adjustments

I’ve been unemployed for a week now and it’s mostly been about adjusting to a new, different, routine. Here’s a list of some of the adjustments I had to make: Making my own food – I’ve mostly been eating pre-made grilled chicken I buy at the supermarket, salad and whole rice, which I make in [...]

IBM-Diligent Farewell Pictures

Here are some pictures from my farewell party from IBM, formerly Diligent. I had a great time with colleagues who became my friends over the past few years.

Happy Birthday To Me. I’m 34

I’m 34 and it’s time for the yearly look back. It was a year of starting and ending relationships. I’ve had some great moments of happiness along with big disappointments. Right now I’m happy and hoping to stay that way. It was a year of travelling. I visited Paris and Berlin (same trip), Athens, Slovenia [...]
