Lost in Tel-Aviv now online
Did you catch it last night? If not, you can watch the whole thing online at the Yes/Walla site (The site uses an embedded Windows Media Player thing, so on Linux you probably need some hack to get it: this one worked for me).
Here’s an interview with my brother about the film published yesterday, and a review of the film. If you can stand (or ignore) the talkbacking scum.
I love this movie and have to fight the urge to stop everything and watch it again right now, but I really should shut up. It’s Guy and Netta’s show.
Hope you like it.

XPath-inking
What’s the difference between just bookmarking a resource and posting it to your blog? I suspect it’s the pointless and private gloating it inspires.
So, I was messing around with using XPath to scrape web pages, and since it’s an obtuse syntax (regular expressions for XML, more or less) and the tutorials aren’t that great, I thought it would be cool if there was some tool that would let you play around and interactively apply XPath expressions to web pages. Yes, that would be nice. It would probably be called something like XPath Explorer, wouldn’t it? So I asked the internets and it was so.
Then I thought, wouldn’t it be better if there was something that showed you how the XPath expression applied to the rendered web page you were looking at? Perhaps something that integrated directly into Firefox?
Yes, said the internet. That would be nice.
And so it was.

Lost in Tel-Aviv
Lost in Tel-Aviv, my brother’s autobiographical animated film premieres on the Yes Docu documentary channel this upcoming Tuesday, the 24th of June at 22:00. It’s written, directed and produced by him and his wife, Neta, it’s hand-drawn classic animation, and it’s an hour long and about their lives and Tel-Aviv and stuff – I wouldn’t know, we (family) haven’t seen it yet.
I guess in anticipation of the film’s release, my brother has started uploading previous works to Facebook and YouTube. Check them out.
