The week started off with a “bang”, but fortunately quieted down (so far!). Oof…<br /> <br /> Anyway, once again very busy; I finished up my “disaster-recovery” setup (in the event Bad Things happen to my servers), so at least that‘s done. I also made a new, fairly major, [https://8th-dev.com/forum/index.php?topic=3137.0 release of 8th]; so at least &#039;&#039;that‘s&#039;&#039; done!

Since we‘re presumably traveling next week, friends have invited us for two meals, so we‘re only making:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;pita&#039;&#039;,<br /> a few &#039;&#039;salatim&#039;&#039;,<br /> and banana cake.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Until next time,&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;shabbat shalom&#039;&#039;!&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;hr&gt;<br /> To subscribe to this blog via email, [mailto:ron@ronware.org?subject=Blog%20subscribe click here]; or, alternatively, [mailto:ron@ronware.org?subject=Blog%20unsubscribe unsubscribe].<br /> <br /> {{nav|Blog|Blog|Blog/June 2026/Jun 5th|Jun 5th||}}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- vim: set tw=0 : --&gt;</div>
