Esp in areas like Sderot which has been subjected to years of rocket fire from Gaza. I'm sure making houses more bomb proof would go over quite well. I live in Israel but not in Sderot, we actually have a bomb shelter in our house, but we use it as a storage closet.
My wife and I were taking the bus from Jerusalem home last night, after having dinner with a friend in town. As we were passing by Rammalah the bus got stoned. Two rocks hit the right side of the bus. One hit right where my wife was sitting and the other hid the rear door which was right behind her.
Today is Yom Ha'Shoah. the Day that Israel remembers the 6 million of our brothers and sisters who were murdered by the Nazi war machine from 1933-1945.
I have about a dozen things I could/should be doing
including
1) Job hunting
2) Working on one of 2-3 projects
3) Getting the next version of the XAB toolkit ready to go.
4) Cleaning for passover

I have established a new Wiki on the topic of development of 3 tier applications with Mozilla, SOAP and the LAMP suite. Not much content yet, but I'm working on it.

Thanks

I just found out I am much closer to broke than I thought I was. I need to find a way to come up with a quick few hundred bucks. The rent for this month and next should be covered but beyond that I'm a bit worried. Anyone want to hire a php programer for some quick work?
Off to the USA for a week or so of holiday and visiting.
See you all online when I get back.
By the rivers of Bbylon - there we sat and also wept when we remembered Zion. On the willows within we hung our lyres. For there our captors requested words of song from us, with lyres joyous, 'Sing for from Zion's song!" How can we sing the song of G-d upon the alien's soil" If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill. Let my toung adhere to my palate if I fail recall you, if I fail to elevate Jerusalem above my foremost joy. Remember, G-d, for the offspring of Ed
I'm having a strange time, I posted something to my other blog that did not have the result that I wanted. I have been acused of being against peace and being a rasist because I hate Hamas et al. I wouldn't care about this per se but for the fact it was 2 very old friends who I had this fight with.
L'Shana Tova... May you be inscribed in the book of life for a good year.
And there is a Jewish tradition of opening the new year (now a few days old) with a clean slate, so if I have offended anyone here in the last year I would ask you to forgive me for it.
