Macbook Pro SSD Upgrade
Posted: February 27, 2011 Filed under: Hardware | Tags: macbook pro, ssd 4 Comments »Today I replaced the 7200 RPM 250GB Hard Drive in my laptop with a 120GB SSD. Here are the Xbench Disk Test results:
Before - Hard Drive
After - SSD
More important though is how the system feels: blazing fast – I never expected this level of improvement!
Blogging is hard.

This blog doesn’t get updated very often either.
And yet – I’m trying again. This time, it’s all about WordPress, in Hebrew. And not only that, I’ve committed to a post a day.
Music: Boy/Girl Duos
Posted: October 20, 2010 Filed under: Music | Tags: Bloord Red Shoes, Duos, Hank & Cupcakes, White Stripes Leave a comment »Not sure why, but I must have a musical affinity to boy/girl duos.
A few years ago I was a White Stripes fan, and I still regularly listen to their first two albums, “The White Stripes” and “De Stijl”.
More recently, I’ve been really enjoying Hank & Cupcakes, an amazing energetic Israeli Bass/Drums duo operating from New York.
You can get their first EP from Amazon or iTunes
Another great duo is Blood Red Shoes, who I discovered by listening to the excellent Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack.
Laptop and Multiple Displays: Window Management on OS X
Posted: October 14, 2010 Filed under: apps | Tags: mac, os x, stay, window management 1 Comment »This is a followup to a previous post about window management tools for OS X.
I’ve recently started using a 2nd external monitor connected to my laptop (using Plugable’s DisplayLink Adapter). Since I was switching from laptop only to laptop + 2 external displays at least once a day, I needed to figure out a way to save/restore applications and windows positions.
I was really happy to discover Stay, a pretty good app that does just that (30 day trial, $15 for the full version).

I was ripping some old CDs today, and these two were right next to each other on the shelf.
WordCamp Jerusalem
Posted: August 23, 2010 Filed under: WordPress | Tags: i18n, Jerusalem, rtl, WordCamp 1 Comment »I’m really excited to be giving a talk at WordCamp Jerusalem in a couple of weeks – the third Israeli WordCamp and the first in Jerusalem.
My talk will be an in-depth overview of WordPress i18n and RTL – a topic I already addressed in a quick 7 minutes presentation at WordCamp SF 2010. I’ll be speaking in Hebrew this time, but the slides will be in English and I’ll share them here afterwards.
There are 3 tracks planned – beginner developers, advanced developers and publishers – see Jennifer’s post for an overview of the planned Publisher’s track and visit WordCamp Jerusalem for more information.
Broken MicroSD card
Posted: August 9, 2010 Filed under: Hardware, thoughts | Tags: memory, microsd Leave a comment »I’ve put my phone’s 8GB MicroSD card in an adapter the wrong way, and this is what happened when I tried to pull it out:
Then I remembered how my father was excited they got a 40MB hard drive in the computer training center where he worked, 20 years ago. It was huge!
Two hundred times that in a plastic card smaller than my thumb nail? I admire who ever had the imagination to dream that.
