- I'm not sure what it is with me and intermittent Internet connectivity failures, but now with my DSL service that I've been quite happy with, I occasionally lose connection. It seems to me that the modem is defective, and I've convinced my provider of that so they swapped it for another.  The modem froze up while I was out of town over Christmas - losing connectivity to the computers at home from the family's place in Brantford took away that comfy “the computers are ok so the house is probably ok†feeling that being able to ping www.stevex.org gives. |

- Lu sur Indymédia Nice : "Compte rendu de l'audience du 23 décembre 2003. Cela aurait dû être Le Jour - le point culminant de plus d'un an de batailles juridiques, le jour où le Tribunal Militaire de Jaffa devait enfin rendre son jugement sur Haggai Matar, Matan Kaminer, Noam Bahat, Adam Ma'or et Shimri Tzameret. Plus d'une heure avant le début de l'audience, des centaines de manifestants étaient présents, brandissant des pancartes avec « Nous sommes tous des Refuzniks », « Nous refusons de servir l'Occupation », « La Conscience en prison - la Stupidité au pouvoir ! » |

- Tracy Chevalier, auteur du (surprenament) bon (non, vraiment, je vous jure, j'en ai moi-même été très surprise ; c'est un livre qui n'a l'air de rien, qui est écrit très simplement et qui n'a pas une seule fausse note) La jeune fille à la perle, parle de l'adaptation ciné de son livre, qui devrait sortir en France au printemps. They seemed to 'get' the novel, understanding that the key to the story was its restraint. One of the first things I said to them was that I did not want the main characters to sleep together. Hollywood would want to sex up the film, and I thought a small British production company would be more likely to remain faithful to the book in that respect, as well as to ensure the film had a European feel to it. |
