First Nokia Forum Champion In Israel

So, on to some good news - I have recived the Nokia Forum Champion Award today and wanted to share the joy. This is due to my ongoing contribution, promotion QA and testing work that I have been doing since November.

I'd like to so far sincerly thank Janaina, Jure and Sami for their ongoing support and care. Working with Nokia, I feel I am doing cool stuff with techie collegues rather then working with the world's largest manufacturer of mobile telephones.

I hope to visit them sometime soon in Espoo. 

I look forward to continue  work with Nokia and help them maintain and extend their market share of Mobile devices and applications.

Exciting times are ahead of us, with MeeGo .

Something sweet to see for all game lovers around.
Without further due, I'll just link you to the video .
and here is the howto.

Those of us who can, do enjoy!

HP Support Phone Line In Israel (nation wide support) BUSY?!?!?

How can it be that a 1-700 line of HP representative in Israel is BUSY?!

Is it so expansive to have a couple of telephone representative to take the calls?

Dear HP, please snap out of it. Israel is a big consumer of your products. Can you please NOT suck badly like an Israeli company?


If there is a franchised lab that is providing the services, and it is not functioning up to standards, let me know, I can help you establish one that will.


I do hope that this issue will not consume too much anger and work on my site, but the touchpad, keyboard and mouse buttons you've put on the HP Compaq Mini 310c are of the saddest combination, and I've never had the misery to use such a malfunctioning pointing device.


Now I will have to wait 2 weeks without a laptop for the matter to be checked, so either it will get fixed or be replaced.


My bad for trying to work with it the couple first months and not going straight to the dealer, who said there was a good chance it would have been replaced.


O' Justice, where are thou ?

repoze.bfg 1.2a1 released

To all of you that are interested, a new major feature release version is available of repoze.bfg, 1.2alpha1 that includes support for imperative configuration, read more about it here.

Setting up Python2.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

If you wanna test the new Plone alpha release (Plone4.0alpha1) you'd need a 2.6 installation. If you are using your VPS and 8.04 LTS as your rock OS, you won't want to upgrade just for the python version.

Instead of building it yourself, the non debian way, you should use a package. That's very easy with Launchpad's rocking PPA feature.

Just add the proper sources (of python-dev) to your sources.list in /etc/apt/sources.list , make sure you import the pub key for the archive so apt won't complain , sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install python2.6. And you've got 2.6 packages made by Ubuntu's Python Chief , Matthias Klose. This is as per this blueprint.


To add the sources:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/python-dev/ppa/ubuntu hardy main 

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/python-dev/ppa/ubuntu hardy main 

To add the key, just do:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys D81367B9

Funny Plonista

I just found out a very funny yet reality reflecting drawing about the Slacking Plonista excuse 'buildout!'. I'd like to share it with the readers of my blog:
