mortuus. Yup, sounds right.

Bruce Schneier observes that "password" is no longer the most common password; it's "password1". Who says users can't be trained? (Link from goldsquare, I think.)

Hebrew question: the word "lamdeini" means "teach us". Adding the suffix ("ni") seems to have changed "lameid" to "lamdei"; why? Why isn't this "lameidni"? Just because that sounds awkward, or for a grammatical reason I haven't yet met?

Packing report: if I were just going on the trip and there was nothing special about it, everything would fit in one checked bag and my backpack (small carryon). But if I want the option to bring anything back, that would be a bad idea. So, two checked bags, one small. (I've used the small one as a carryon, actually, but as long as I have to check anything, why shlep it through airports?)

Yay! In about 28 hours I'll be in Jerusalem! I'll miss Dani and the cats, but boy is this going to be fun!

There will be no time when it would be in compliance with both Jewish and federal laws for me to light the channukiah for the seventh night (tomorrow night). How peculiar. (We leave Newark at 3:50PM and it'll be morning when we get off the plane.)
