a whiff of the med a whiff of the med on a clear day you can almost see the mediterranean sea but even on a cloudy day you can smell whatever they re dumping in it these days just a blog by a fairy from oz messin around with the sabras friday october 03 2008 somewhat belated but the totally coolest shana tova greeting i ve seen yet and a pretty fun tribute to tel aviv as well though i find the exodus theme music just a tad too cheesy shana tova posted by nominally challenged at 6 24 am 10 comments tuesday september 23 2008 electronic device identity crisis my supposedly advanced microsoft wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse both gave up the ghost last night in mid sentence suddenly deciding instead that they were my cellphone and trying against all odds to download the contents of my phone s address book to my computer and there was no convincing them that they weren t to add insult to injury my keyboard and mouse both firmly resisted any attempts to reinstall them including the old turn the computer off and turn it back on again method i even tried leaving the house and walking the dog that didn t help the computer though the dog was somewhat relieved fortunately i happened to have another older keyboard and mouse available of the wireful variety which saved me from a painful computerectomy and ensured that i would be able to continue to work but now i am in the market for a new keyboard mouse my preferences are for something wireless however i note that my experience with these apart from battery guzzling is that they are not terribly reliable leaving aside the tendency of the bluetooth key thingy to mistake the various devices that are connected to it for each other it used to take my wireless mouse a good 30 seconds to wake up if i let it go untouched for more than a minute the keyboard was the same the reaction times were very frustratingly slow so i am happy for the opportunity to change but the question is change to what if anyone has a recommendation for a good wireless keyboard mouse combo that will actually respond when i touch them and that won t suddenly decide that they are a telephone i d be very grateful and if anyone thinks that the wired versions are preferable then please point me to a mouse with a very long cord these mouse cords are not made for people who click with their right hand but have their computer by their left leg which was pretty much the reason i opted for the wireless version in the first place posted by nominally challenged at 2 35 am 8 comments thursday september 18 2008 paris earlier this year i traveled to paris for a week long drawing course during which we drew models and visited museums among other things it was incredibly fulfilling and this is my own little homage to this visit and my second foray into oils enjoy posted by nominally challenged at 1 36 am 8 comments saturday august 30 2008 20 years it is 20 years since i left highschool how scary my class had a reunion in my absence of course on august 16th and although i thought nothing of it at the time since i was on the invitation mailing list i have been flooded this weekend by emails from those who attended including one email with photographs of the actual event naturally despite the fact that i probably would not have gone to the thing even if i had been in the same country that it was being held in at the time my curiosity got the better of me and i went to look at the pics of the event my first reaction was who the hell are these people it took me a long time to recognize most of them although one or two still look the same fortunately they were wearing name tags otherwise i would have been totally lost one of my former classmates has set up a facebook group for the class of 88 and i debated long and hard before joining but finally i realised that there were actually people in the group who i d missed being in touch with there were around 1200 people at my highschool divided into six years each year having around 7 classes and although in the first year we pretty much stuck to our classes once we started taking elective courses and getting involved in other activities we mingled more and i guess i would have been social with more than half of the 200 in my year but after highschool i lost contact with most of them since much of what we had in common had simply been six years of schooling in a shared environment the school was not a jewish school and i found myself gravitating to a more jewish social circle at university later on i moved to israel which of course effectively severed any ties that were not strong enough to withstand the distance now however i m feeling awash with nostalgia and i ve found myself searching for former classmates with reckless abandon i m not even sure why but something in me wants to know i guess that they re doing ok i know of one former classmate who passed away and i guess i just want to check that the rest of them are still alive i m not even sure why i m blogging about this given the absolute paucity of entries on this blog this year perhaps this is just my way of slipping back into the swing of the whole bloggitude of it all posted by nominally challenged at 2 58 am 8 comments monday august 04 2008 wow has it been a long time or what hello faithful reader yes i know it s been ages and it s all my fault but i needed a break from typing a rather silly excuse given that my livelihood is earned entirely from typing but i present it as my excuse nonetheless for you to do with as you will actually the primary reason for my not posting was that i felt i had nothing to post about but when i look back at the past few months i see that they were actually filled with the stuff posts are made of and yet i deprived you dear reader of any insight into them not fair i know not fair at all so the posts will come most likely in stops and starts because i really am incredibly busy with work and other stuff mostly work actually but they will come i promise well i hope anyway thanks for bearing with me for some reason even though it s been fully six months since i last posted i think i still have visitors to my blog which is gratifying thank you oh ye of eternal hope i will try to make your visits more worthwhile in the future in the meantime bear with me it might take a little time to crank this thing up again ciao for now nc posted by nominally challenged at 12 30 am 11 comments sunday january 13 2008 the ferryman you will forgive me i hope for not writing lengthy posts at this stage here is my first artistic offering for 2008 posted by nominally challenged at 4 11 am 7 comments friday december 14 2007 shells ok it s been ages since i last posted i know that i didn t write a channukah post despite the fact that i probably should have and i know i ve been very lax about posting in general all year it s been a busy year and last month i was away so that s my excuse and i m sticking to it this is possibly my last art post the reason is i want to put my art onto a proper dedicated website so i m looking for website constructors or other people who might be able to point me in the right direction in that regard i am hopelessly ignorant of how to go about this so any advice would be most welcome in the meantime i give you shells as usual comments are most welcome nc posted by
