The Perfect Picture

At the beginning, I thought it is only me, but I have asked many people and they confirmed – this picture is simply… perfect! Even my girl-friend thinks the same :) So here it is (click on the picture to get a full size background): If some of you knows who the photographer is, please tell me. I really want to see other photos of the same author and give him a credit here.

Blog is back

Due to several errors during upgrade of blog software, the site was inaccessible in the last few days. After waiting some time for a fix to be available, I have decided to rollback all changes and return to previous version. Now everything should work fine, as usual :) Technorati Tags: Blog

MyHeritage.com Match-A-Celebrity!

Well, I'm using MyHeritage.com site to hold all my genealogy tree and recently they have added ability to check which celebrities you look like. Pretty nice feature :) Unfortunately I only had a picture of me with sunglasses at this computer, so results are not that accurate, but still fun - specially I like how I match Eddie Murphy and Liza Minelli :)   Technorati Tags: Genealogy, Collage, Family

Chianti: Riserva Ducale Oro by Ruffino

Well, I like Italian wine, specially chianti and toscana, and since my favorite wine, Villa Antinori, is out of stock, I got a new one, by recommendation of seller. The new one is chianti Riserva Ducale Oro, from Ruffino, 2000. Actually I remember I started with Italian wines from Ruffino, can't really remember which one, but I remember it had a good taste and pleasant aroma. I have to say, they didn't disappointed me this time either. The wine is very light while you drink it, it does have a nice perfume - very gentle and at the...

Vertu cell phones - WTF??

Take a look at this picture. Those are not cell phones from 90x of 20th century, no, no.. Those are elite, luxury phones presented by Virtu: Now those phones cost tens thousands of green dollars. Why? No idea. Maybe they have nice set of features? Nope. So why? Look at the screenshot of small part of their site: This locker took 2 years to design? C'mon! What you were designing there? Now definitely I know why this costs so much and why phone features are soooo low-tech. del.icio.us Tags: Vertu, Mobile

Pink! Pink!

The other day I was walking on street and stumbled upon this nice car. It was an old Ford Fiesta (?) and it was all pink!

Why IE keeps asking me passwords?

This has been bothering me all the time, but I was too lazy to find why this happening. When you come to a site that prompts you for a username and password (such as SharePoint portals for example) you prompted for password every time, regardless of "Save password" checkbox. The issue and solution is actually easy. IE only logs you in automatically when in intranet (e.g. browsing locally). And for Internet, you will always be asked. To override this, you should select "Automatic logon..." in security custom options. See screenshot below. For more information,...

Do NOT buy LG Air Conditioner in Israel

Do never buy an LG air conditioner in Israel. By "never" I mean NEVER! Recently we have bought a new air conditioner LG Model ES-H2465EMO, with Neo Plasma. The air conditioner itself maybe a good choice, but the service of LG in Israel is bad. Day after it was installed, we discovered that it leaks gas. So we called services (as a reminder - AC is brand new and was just installed) and they have answered that they will come check in next 2 weeks. Those were weeks of extreme hot here, in Israel and we didn't want to wait...
