Forums
שני, 12 לפברואר 2007 -- 03:02 Dotan DimetI did a stealth upgrade of the roleplay.org.il forums early Saturday morning, from a creaky old patched and hacked phorum 3 install, that had been modified by various hands, including Bo, Fogi and Hershko, and which still used visual Hebrew, to a nearly-new Phorum 5 version, with bells, whistles, RSS feeds and search that works.
Phorum [...]
On booting back into Windows
שני, 12 לפברואר 2007 -- 03:02 Dotan DimetI've been using Linux (Kubuntu!) on my home computer since around late June 2006.
No, it's not any better than Windows XP. In fact, it has it's share of annoyances. But I sit in front of my computer on an uncomfortable chair in a cold and dusty enclosed balcony with no elbow rests, so I'm used [...]
Feed me, see more
רביעי, 07 לפברואר 2007 -- 02:02 Dotan DimetEvery day, I do my bit to help keep the Internet read. And in my feed aggregator (Google Reader), I've got "Starred" items and "Shared" items. The "Shared" list looks kind of lean, perhaps because I felt a subtle pressure to tag only carefully read and reviewed, "curated" links there. The "Starred" stuff, though, [...]
Until the site goes up…
חמישי, 25 לינואר 2007 -- 20:01 Dotan DimetThe two big Israeli geekfests are coming up in a couple of months, and neither of them have any web-presence so far. Bigor 2007, our annual multi-day roleplaying-centric event that is the ISRP’s tent-pole (flagpole?) is sometime in late March, Olamot (the SF&F and everything else con) should be sometime around then, and interested parties [...]

Testing Livejournal crossposter
שני, 22 לינואר 2007 -- 16:01 Dotan DimetLivejournal Crossposter is another WordPress plugin that lets you publish your WordPress blog to LiveJournal. It might just be simpler and less messier than Live+Press, if it works. The author says that I created this because I couldn’t figure out how Live+Press was supposed to work, and I wanted something simpler anyway.
Unfortunately, it's on the [...]
Get Shorty
שני, 15 לינואר 2007 -- 15:01 Dotan DimetIdan Alterman has put his documentary film נמוך (short) online at his blog. One of the people interviewed in the film is Ron Yaniv, the publisher of חלומות באספמיה, an Israeli Science Fiction magazine, and general Israeli SF person.
Wordpress as a platform
שלישי, 09 לינואר 2007 -- 03:01 Dotan DimetApparently,this time last year I was also puttering about with wordpress.
As I was wrestling with Livepress, and with getting it to work with Tom Selah's nifty conditional text direction plugin[1], I ran across a post by Matt Mullenweg, the developer of Wordpress, linking to a rant about how Wordpress ”spoils" developers. Behind this diggable title [...]

(בדיקה) Fiddling with Wordpress
חמישי, 04 לינואר 2007 -- 02:01 Dotan DimetAnd seeing if Livepress is working…
האמנם?
כבר שנים שאני דוחה שידרוג של וורדפרס בבלוג האנמי שלי, בגלל דאגה שהגירסה הנוכחית לא תומכת כל-כך ב-LivePress. כרגיל, אין כמו ניר לדחוף אותי להתעסק בשידרוגים.
I've been delaying an upgrade of this blog to Wordpress2.0 for ages, because I'm worried about breaking LivePress. Now, with Nir's encouragement, I've upgraded both [...]

Growing a Playground
ראשון, 31 לדצמבר 2006 -- 21:12 Dotan DimetKinderForest - Growing a Playground is an animated short made by my brother to promote our friend Ezekiel’s ficus start-up. There’s a better version (Quicktime) of the video on that site.
The Loudness
שני, 25 לדצמבר 2006 -- 23:12 Dotan DimetOn Saturday night, the annoying loud music in a restaurant prompted me to mention something I’d read on the internet about how there’s this trend in modern music to mix the recordings so that they’re too loud and grating to listen to. Now, I didn’t remember what I’d read well enough to explain it properly, [...]
The ways of women are a mystery to me!

I’ve moved a lot of my linkage to here and here, which means I don’t post a lot of the old tidbits and tails to my blog. But some images demand to be shared.
In other completely unrelated news, I [...]
Roleplaying character meme
שלישי, 03 לאוקטובר 2006 -- 02:10 Dotan DimetVia Rob Donoghue, a meme for roleplayers:
Name 12 characters you have played in RPGs, before looking at the questions that follow. List your characters numbered 1 to 12, with the name of the RPG you played them in. Once you’ve picked your 12 characters, look at the questions and answer accordingly. (No peeking until [...]
