I’m concentrating this weekend on the arrangements for my London and Barcelona trips. I’ve already found flight tickets at Issta that I’m going to take, and now I’ll concentrate on Hostels.
I’m aware it’s going to be a little trickier then when I go backpacking since I need my own room. Still, I hope to find something around 30 EUR a day, max. After all, it’s not like I’m going to be there during the day.

Well, My conference takes place at Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square, so somewhere near would be excellent. Though witht he excellent tube system they have there it doesn’t really matter.

Barcelona
I Need to find a place which will be hopefully a walking distance from Fira De Barcelona, where the conference takes place.

Itaca Hostel – Dorms (17 EUR), Room (48 – 60 EUR).
The first time I’m checking as I stayed there the last time I had a conference in Barcelona and the place was great.
BCN Loft – D.Bed Prv-Shared Bathroom (20 EUR), D.Bed Prv(30 EUR), 2 Bed Mixed Dorm(18 EUR)
Sounds good! Worth investigating!

Grandma’s House Went on friday to Ashdod to bring grandma for a shabbat in our home in Ashkelon.
While she got organized I took a
few pictures.
So much of my childhood passed in this yard and in this house.
Shabbat’s Fried Fish Well, they taste way better then they
look. Trust me.
I’m writing the fremework for Beit Berl College GEMOLOGY program. I think it will be using javaSDL. Therefore, I collect a few links here for my personal use.
Installing javaSDL on Eclipse:
- Download sdljava-0.9.1-win32-bin.zip and optionally sdljava-0.9.1-src.zip (It contains the source code for the samples, very handy).
- Extract to any directory (e.g. C:\Java\sdljava-0.9.1).
- Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables and append C:\Java\sdljava-0.9.1\lib to the Path system variable.
- Go to C:\Java\sdljava-0.9.1\bin and execute testsprite.bat – If it works, congratulations, 75% done.
- Open Eclipse, create a new project, add a source file to it and paste the following into it:
import sdljava.*;
import sdljava.video.*;
class HelloSDL {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final String caption = "Hello, SDL!";
System.out.println(caption);
SDLMain.init(SDLMain.SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDLVideo.wmSetCaption(caption, caption);
SDLSurface screen = SDLVideo.setVideoMode(640, 480, 24, 0);
java.lang.Thread.sleep(2500);} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
SDLMain.quit();
}
}
}
- Right click the source file and choose Run As … Run.
- If there isn’t already an entry below “Java Application”, create one. Ensure that the main class is set to “HelloSDL”.
- Switch to the Arguments tab and add the following to VM arguments: -Djava.library.path=C:\Java\sdljava-0.9.1\lib
- Open the project properties, select Java Build Path -> Libraries and click on Add external JARs, then choose C:\Java\sdljava-0.9.1\lib\sdljava.jar and click Open.
- Run the project. If it works, that’s all there is to it!
