So: another very busy week in our domain. Esther’s still fighting the tax battles against deadlines. Sarah’s still wondering about the wisdom of her life-choices. Daniela reluctantly returned to teaching reluctant teens. I worked my fingers to the bone, figuratively.

I released the (hopefully) final “beta” release of the new, improved! 8th. There’s still quite a bit of work ahead of me before public release, but I don’t want to delay that longer than absolutely necessary, since I want a wider audience for feedback.

I spent most of my time working on a project for my newest client. This is a HIPAA-compliant database and website, so there’s a lot of security-related issues to address. It doesn’t help that the client’s specification is quite vague; or, rather, it does — since I’ll probably be working on it for quite a while.

Israeli elections are a bit over a week away, for the third time in the space of a year. Since nothing seems to have changed, there’s no reason to assume the outcome will be different than the previous two times. The Israeli slang for this is fashla: which means a monumentally embarrassing screw-up (from local Arabic slang, for “a disgrace”). I’m advocating for them to settle it all by means of flint-lock pistols at ten paces. At least that might be entertaining.

Variously interesting, or not:


The weather warmed up a bit this past week, but we still have occasional showers. It’s supposed to rain heavily over shabbat, which is bad timing for us…

This shabbat we’re going to try on:
homemade pure-white pita, chicken soup, laundered chicken, traditional cholent, various salatim, and “just cake”.

Until next time,
shabbat shalom!
