It's around 3 weeks I haven't write anything in my blog. Actually I have some nice things in my mind I want to post about, but I really run out of time.

I am going to leave my current job, and going to work in a new company CapitalIQ. I'm really looking forward for this change. CapitalIQ is a really big company, and I'm going to face new challenges.

Now, the last project I'm working on is a really nice and useful Anti-Spam filter based on Paul Graham's Naive Bayesian Spam Filter algorithm. I Implemented the improved algorithm and added some nice features such 'white/black' lists 'phishing/scam' detecting and made it 'self learning' system that you can actually train it, and it will be improved every time you train it. The results are very very impressive. after some days of learning, from 1014 spams emails and 50 real emails in a weekend, the system detected 1008 spams as spam, and all the real emails as real. I think it could be very useful system, and I'm thinking of uploading it into Codeplex as an open source project.

I have some more nice things to post about, but I have too much things to do and think about, so I will wait for more 'relax time' to post it. I hope all the new changes will be ok and without any problems, and I hope I will have the time to post new and nice things soon.

I guess it's the same for all of us. We are the 'computers guy' of the family. When anyone of the close/far family/friends have a problem with the  computer, or need any software - the first call he do, is for us. The 'computers guy'. The technical part is a little problematic, but the 'Do you have an Anti-Virus' for me? 'With what application I can open RAR files?' is the easy part.

Since I have an hosting account, I just created a folder, droped in it this Default.aspx (1.33 kb) I did, droped in it all the (legal) software I have, and when somebody ask me for an application, I just give him the link for that folder. From time to time, when I have a new app, I just upload it to this folder. No need to change any code. The Default.aspx will list it by itself.

Long time that I want start my own blog, but I never had the time for that. Few days ago, I decided - that's it - Today is the day.

I was playing around, download source of some Open Source ASP.NET blogs as dasBlog,  subText,  and BlogEngine.NET and look at their code. All of them are written in high level code, All of them - for sure are doing their job perfect.

But the one that cached my eyes first was BlogEngine.NET. The code is very simple, very clean - exectly as Mads Kristensen wrote in his blog: "KISS – Keep It Simple, Stupid. I quickly played with the code, add some of my own tweaks, create my own theme, upload the blog to my hosting account at GoDaddy (must not forget to remove the trust level from the Web.Config)  and as you can see - the blog is up and running!

To BlogEngine.NET team - Keep going with your great work!

This is my first time I have a blog.

All people around already have one, all answers to any professional question I find in blogs.

I decided I will have one that I can share my programming experiences with others, so mybe I would help some others as other blogs help me sometimes.

My mother language is Hebrew (and I'm currently live in Argentina) so sorry for my bad English.

I'm using BlogEngine.net as paltforme and by now it works just simple and perfect!
