A few minutes ago I saw in my stats (yeah, I can be a little bit obsessive about those sometimes) that someone tried to use the contact form to send me an email (around 8pm, Israel time). After not receiving any email, I checked my blog setup and discovered that the contact form was not configured properly. Whoever tried to send me something - I am sorry, but you email never made it to me. My bad. Please send again - the contact form is now working. You can also reach me by email at yaakov at ellisweb dot net.

One other maintenance note: you may have noticed the pictures that are now appearing in the sidebar, to the right of this text. The picture that appears here is the most recent photo posted on my photoblog Israel Photos (RSS). This is a site that I started last November. There are now nearly 40 pictures there, all showing some different aspect of life in Israel. I try to get 2-3 pictures up per week, showing people, nature, places or other random things. Check out the mosaic page to see thumbnails of what’s online. If you lsee something that you like, please subscribe, write an email or comment, or send over a link.
