I just started a new site / mailing list as a pet project.

Hebrew Speaking Parents on the Upper West Side

For those of you that do not live in New York City, the Upper West Side is a neighborhood in Manhattan.

Now you know where I live

Ophir

UPDATE: Wow - it was a year ago that I wanted to this. It’s now Sept 2006. This really never got off the ground. I still have plans for web site for parents on the upper west side, but it won’t only be for Hebrew speakers.

A while back I settled on jfax as a service to get faxes. It’s free and it works. The main problem was that they want you to download their own viewer to view the faxes. The faxes are attached as .jfx files. After a little research I found that these are plain .tif files, and you can just rename the file from something.jfx to something.tif and then use any file viewer that supports tifs.

Hope this helps someone.

OK, your probably wondering why I named a post something about blood pressure. Well folks I’ve changed lanes. I’m now the Internet Marketing Manager at InterCure. They make a device that will lower blood pressure without side effects. It’s called “RESPeRATE to Lower Blood Pressure” (that’s the official name) but everyone just calls it RESPeRATE. Yea, the funky spelling is part of the branding as well. The cool thing is that this device really works. Don’t take my word for it - check the reviews on amazon.

So since I’m doing marketing now, I’m taking advantage of my blog for some free advertising.

So I get this new job (more to come) and I’m playing around with my sub domains and I accidentally change the directory for www.prusak.com
This means that www.prusak.com now shows a directory listing.

and no one tells me

ugh

So I finally notice this today (2 weeks later) and fix it.

I just realized that I started a blog back in June 1996.

That’s right. Way back in prehistoric times. Of course back then the term blog didn’t exist. It’s just nice to see that I was ahead of my time. Of course after three entries and almost zero feedback I called it a day. So now, over eight years later I’m giving it another try.

Here is it (from archive.org) http://web.archive.org/web/19990129050949/www.netvision.net.il/~ophir/imho/

After not making any real changes to my personal web site since 2000 (other than updating my resume) I’ve decided to go down the path of Blog.

Here it is.

Enjoy.

If you really want to see the older version of my web site, here it is.
