| Weekend again |
Yea, it’s the weekend, Yonit and me are here in university. Yonit study for her lab exam due on sunday, and I try to finish the data structure programing exercise. The coming week is going to be pretty easy, since we’l only study on sunday and monday. Tuesday is Yom haZikaron (IDF Soldiers Remembrance Day) 
, Wednesday is Yom HaAtzmaut (Independence Day 
) and we don’t study on both. Since university never have studies anyway on fridays, most people are going to do a ‘bridge’ and take a monday afternoon to sunday vaccation. We’ll probably do so as well, though I might come to the Geometric Modeling and Computational Graphics seminar on Thursaday.
Anyway, I just found out I’m a loser, since in my age so amny people done so many great things, unlike me. Here, check out what others have accomplished when they were your age. Hmpf. Well, I think I’ll start slowly returning this site being just my little page again. I got SOO MANY hits cause everybody are looking for “webcam israel” or “webcam jerusalem” lately.
On that subject, we had another terror attack yesterday. I was at my flat, making dinner when I’ve heard dozens of ambulances with loud sirens rushing under my window (I live on the street that leads to Sheari Tzedek Hospital). I ran to the TV and switch channels. Both israeli channels were shoing thier regular shows, but the CNN had started a report on a serious suicide bombing in the entrance of the Mahne Yehuda market. So, basically about 6 people died and 80 injured. According to the latest news on the radio, 60 or more are still in the hospital today and 7 are seriously injured. Another thing I noticed in the broadcasts is that there is a big difference between people from Jerusalem (which frankly, are pretty used to all these terror attacks) and the people from Tell Aviv. Here, in Jerusalem, people are saying back, letting the cops and the medics do their work. In Tel Aviv, those idiotic people did nothing but disturb the police and medics. A bunch of stupid morons. I’m a medic myself and I think I’d kick some of the people in Tel Aviv if I was being disturbed. Anyway, onced they started showing those same captured pictures in a loop, and started all that boring blabla about powell here and arafat there I closed the TV. One can take just up to here with all this endless talking. They kill us, we kill them, what a lovely party. Where have you said the drinks are?

I love your blog. I wanna study computer science too after the army.. I’ll be drafted in November, probably.
what digital cam do you have? and how do you manage your webcam?

Hi Ran.
Well first, thanks for the compliment.
The digital cam I used to take some of the pictures in the gallery is a CANON something, it’s not really mine - it’s the camera of the lab. I have an LG webcam (simple) and I use conquercam softwere while I’m at home (to broadcast the images) and some sort of hybrid when the webcam in in the lab. I have a software that grabs the picture and every 5 minutes a program I wrote myself take the last one and uploads it to the website.
Tell you the truth, I’m only changing into computer science this year, after studying physics for the first 2 years… So I’m still "stuck" in my Undergraduate degree (First degree).
Canon cams are really good.. I’m gonan buy a cam in the end of the month, my dad is going to the USA for a week, so I’m looking for a good camera to buy.. I’m thinking of the Nikon 5000 for now, but I might change my mind..
cool! could you send me this software you’ve written, or is it private?
Awesome.. good luck with the studies!
oh, and the software which take the picture every 5 minutes too..
Well, Once you’ll have ConquerCam, or ChillCam you’re pretty much set. I use ConquerCam at home, mostly. The programs I’ve done are for personal use, it’s not something serious… It’s just that the university network is behind firewall and all access to the internet must be done through a proxy, so I can’t use all those programs that upload to the internet directly. I don’t assume you’ll have the same problem at home, just like I don’t in MY home.
Cool, thanks! I’ll try them both as soon as I get my network installed in winME.. I have winxp right now, and I can’t find a driver for my cam which supports winxp.. and in winME the cam is working, but there’s no internet.. sucks huh?
