A Peek into a Mind

DAST exercise is progressing slowly. The exercises are meant to be done in pairs (thinking together, each coding half the work) but I’m doing it alone, which makes it more time consuming compared to other students. On the other hand, I have more experience then the avg. 1st year student so I guess that makes it even.

Yonit and me are back in Jerusalem, btw, after a weekend at my home. We’re here until tomorrow, when she’ll go back to Natanya and I’ll go back to Ashkelon, for the Passover. I got endless work to do and I know I’m not going to complete all of it. Damn.

Gali came to National Library today, to read/copy some stuff from a book. And since the National Library is in the middle of Givat Ram campus it made meeting conveniently easy (specially since my lab is right behind the library). She couldn’t stay for long, since she had to be back at Tel Aviv by 17:30, but it was nice seeing her, anyway.

I’ve once wrote an entry expressing my opinion regarding the behavior of international behemoth companies. Seems more and more America is turning to the paradise of commercial cartels and the hell of civilians. Just to point out the direction the biggest (and only) superpower is heading, check out these articles: When elephents dance and Anti-Copy Bill Slams Coders. I thought the DMCA was extremely bad, but apparently I was too naive… When it comes to civil rights against huge companies with copyrighted stuff, civil rights are to be stepped upon. Ho well, at least I’m not living in the US…
