Scott Radke (Dec 17 2003 09:59 GMT) - Looking for a unique Christmas gift that is guranteed to be original? How about one of these one-of-a-kind creepy marionettes by Cleaveland artist Scott Radke? |

- "'there is no way you can get in,' the austrian officer said, tightening his pale lips to express the disapproval of pronek's attempt to enter austria without a visa. the width of his mustache exactly matched the width of his mouth at that moment. pronek stared into the officer's greenish eyes, clutching his bosnian passport in his extended hand. 'but all i want is to take a look at vienna,' pronek said. 'i'll be right back. |

- The AGe has an interesting piece here on a new barney at the National Museum of Australia, this time about the blue painted poles in the Garden of Australian Dreams. Howard biographer David Barnett is up in arms over it apparently. As a huge fan of Jackson Pollock I have to say I like it and don't see it as a monument to Gough Whitlam. |

- Below are the questions I emailled to Brendan "The Magnet Mart Man" this afternoon. They were based on the comments the readership made in this story. Apologies if I butchered your question to fit it in the format, NTP's multipart questions mostly stayed where others were dismembered beacause it was mostly following the same line. Thanks for your questions, even the ones I didn't go with in the end. |

- CityNews have got a profile up here on the success of Canberra based radar boffins, CEA Technologies at selling their radar designs to the US Military (not yet the laggardly RAN, although they are mumbling about it these days). RiotACT's previous coverage of CEA is available here. |

- The Canberra Times has got a good story here on the Brumbies pre-season preparations. The Noose (Coach Nucifora) seems to think the Mark "The Tavern" Chisholm is going to outshine both of the now departed Vickerman and Harrison at lock next season, which if it happens, and Giffin stays fit, would give us much more punch around the park than in previous years when two "leaping locks" have left us a bit bare on the ground. |

- The Age has a story here on the abandonment of plans for a safe injecting room, apparently because surveilance cameras in Civic have got all the junkies shooting up in their government housing, which solves the problem? Instead the money's going to be spent on needle vending machines, which will solve the problem of junkies giving aids and hepatitis to each other, but might increase the number of needles left lying around for the rest of us to catch it from, to say nothing of making life easier for nutters planning on holding up a petrol station with a syringe full of red cordial. |

- I'm sick today so I was lying in bed listening to the Today Programme on radio4 and there was this piece about selfish Christmas carol choirs. This guy was on complaining about the fact that Christmas choirs are hogging all the carols. He was saying and the presenter was agreeing that when one goes to a choir service - not that I do - the choir now sings most if not all and the congregation doesn’t sing. They had a representative from St Paul’s choir service who was on saying that it's not a big change and that the congregation still participate by quiet prayer and contemplation. Whereas the presenter and the other guy were lamenting a lost time when everyone came and sang their heads off out of tune. |

- Slate suggests misplaced confidence in wiretapping and location monitoring of Thuraya satellite phones led to inaccurate bombing in Iraq. We've heard this story before: signals intelligence is more than adequate ; the failures are in human intelligence . Why the intelligence was so wrong—why the targets weren't there when the bombs struck—makes for a flabbergasting tale. |

- Scoble alters me to this by Joel Spolsky. Joel always seems to have lots that's of interest to write, and this is particularly well written. And very interesting to me; my last contract was a long-term role working with a die-hard Unix guy. The cultural 'issues' here were profound. |

- IBM says that their portal server supports single sign-on. But going through the below given article from IBM, it seems that we need to use separate API to implement single sign-on. It is very strange and I am not able to find-out what level of SSO support exists in IBM Portal. What I concluded is – IBM Portal supports single sign-on for their internal purpose only. |
