Croak (Dec 23 2003 07:38 GMT) - I have completely lost my voice. I really can't even muster up a croak. And of course, Peter and I had a holiday dinner party for eleven friends tonight. The party was actually pretty fabulous and I managed to hold my own with a lot of emphatic whispering and elaborate charades. But what stupid timing on my part - losing one's voice three days before Christmas is totally lame However, I attempted to lube up my throat with several generous applications of of Cosentino's Cigar Zin. |

- Today I was paging through Mac OS X Hacks and discovered that the built in Address Book in Panther can do some of what PhoneValet can do if you have a Bluetooth enabled cell phone. I have a Nokia 6310i, which I have discovered barely passes as a Bluetooth enabled cell phone. But I was able to initiate calls and SMS's from the Address Book, and have incoming calls to the cell pop up a message on the Powerbook. This is really nice functionality. It doesn't solve the voice mail problem that I mentioned yesterday, but it's a step in the right direction. |

- Ich liebe schrullige Nachbarn, die einem morgens um 07:30 Uhr, einen Tag vor Weinachten, nichts anderes im Treppenhaus zu sagen haben als "Morgen machst du aber mal die Treppe, ich habe keine Lust, die immer alleine zu machen" - und das, wo man die seit 5 Jahren regelmässig alle 2 Wochen am Sonntagabend gegen 19 Uhr macht. Vielleicht schläft sie dann ja schon, muss ja schliesslich morgens früh hoch... um einem im Treppenhaus abzufangen und einem diesen - noch dazu falschen - Vorwurf an den Kopf zu knallen. : |

- Take This Honour And Shove It Up Your Arse: Some, like JG Ballard and Benjamin Zephaniah, want the UK Honours System abolished; others want it reformed; diehards want it left as it is. The recent leaking of a distinguished list of refuseniks, coming just after Sir Mick Jagger got his ya-yas out in Buckingham Palace, reminds us of Groucho Marx's famous comment that he'd never join a club that would take members like him. |
