My life is much better lately. I'm filled with positive energy and the recent events had made me really happy.

On Sunday a drastic change will occur in my occupation and I hope it would be for the better...

Lately I work relentlessly. I have no time for myself and I really hope eventually things will go better.

My status is better than before, but still there are more expectations for the future.

Hopefully next week/month/year would be more promising...

It seems I am entering another bad era in my life. It's just nothing is going the way I want it to be.

I get lots of problems in my occupation, especially recently, the logos I suggested for the convention were not accepted and a more "shiny" logo was chosen (though I think it's all shiny and pretty but has no true meaning concerning the event), my hard drive just crashed, I had to back up all the data and give it back to the store so they'll hopefully give me another one and even my new monitor is giving me problems.

To make matter worse, I feel I get nowhere with my life, I want to make it something. I want to be recognized. I feel that even if I have a known blog (in Israel and only in the FLOSS community), I'm not being recognized the way I want. I would like my artistic parts to be more recognized maybe... The fact remains that I don't really know so many people in the artistic community...

I also feel recently very lonely and I don't feel I can really express my feelings to my friends and family. I feel caged in my own low self esteem that literally ruins my life.

Maybe the only reason I write this is because I know not many people (if any) will ever read it anyway. Just to give myself a fake feeling of exposing my thoughts.

I still look ahead though. I know the future has something for me there, and I know that day will come eventually. I just feel like I'm wasting valuable years of my life in the process.

Shlomi...

A few weeks ago I was asked by my close friend - Lior Kaplan(1), to design the new Logo for the Israeli Annual Convention for Linux and Free Software - August Penguin, which will be conducted at August 1st 2008.

For now I have two drafts. they both say in hebrew "August Penguin 2008":
