Welcome to 2006
Here we are in 2006. The year in which I turn thirty, hooray!
Well, maybe not hooray,
Mum and Dad are here today (and yesterday) for a belated Christmas; yesterday was a little bit muted because Sam and I didn’t get to bed until about 4.30am New Year’s Eve, but it was still good. NYE itself was excellent; the LugRadio crew piled round to Jono’s to argue about things and eat Matchmakers. Once again we demonstrated that Jono is wrong about everything, which was good.
Or maybe not. Really good evening, though.
I got to test out my phone by sending a Happy New Year text message to pretty much everyone I know, only to have the sending repeatedly fail because the network was busy. I imagine I am not atypical in this. Nice to discover that you can send one message to multiple recipients, though; I keep discovering that the SonyEricsson phone UI is streets ahead of its Nokia or Motorola competitors in lots of little ways.
I got a set of optics, on which I have now mounted four bottles of spirits. There’s something rather cool about being able to pour someone a drink like you’re in a pub. Don’t know what it is, but it’s cool nonetheless.
I’m also struggling with a threading issue in Gtk for a project I’m working on, about which more news soon.
Happy New Year to all of you; I hope it’s a good one.
Nokias have always been able to send a message to multiple recipients (well, all the way back to my 702 in 1999, anyway!)

Umm, yeah, I was about to say the same as Jason. Nokia and Motorola phones have done this since forever. On both, as with the SE phones, you just keep picking names from the phonebook.
Happy New Year, though!

Ah, I didn’t mean that one of the ways in which SE phones are ahead is that they can send messages to multiple recipients, although that was badly worded and I can see why you’d have thought I meant that; just that I didn’t realise that I could do that until then and independently of that the SE UI is better than Nokia and Motorola UI :)

Ah, makes more sense now :)
I like bits of both Nokia and SE UI (Motorola are fairly rubbish). The swooshy expansion animations on modern SE phones are pretty, but I find that once you apply a decent skin to Nokia phones (currently using Mac OS X skin) it tends to make sense.

You’re still wrong. Nokias are the only kind of mobile phone :-)

all I can say to sil about his abrupt closing of a conversation which seemed to give many people a great deal of comfort is vaffanculo! You proved yourself to be a heartless sob.

I’m sorry that all of you have lost your pets. This, however, isn’t really the best forum for that; why not try one of the pet loss forums listed at the Open Directory Project’s section on pet loss. I hope you find catharsis there. Commenting here has now been closed.
The page looked pretty successful to me.
Testa di merda!

kmw: if people go to a pet loss place they’ll find people specifically set up to help you deal with it, or at the least a lot more sympathetic ears, rather than just the few people who found my page via Google by accident.

there are very feel sites dealing with the death of a cat and i stumbled on this excellent site covering the subject
my Blackie was born on 04/04/87 and passed away last thursday - she just walked out the french window and found a place to die which i have
heard is natural for cats. (i cannot find the spot) has anyone heard this?
she was in no pain, started to do her toilet on the tiled floor instead of her
litter box. sat on my lap (had difficulty steaying herself) in the morning after a lick of my cereal plate. when i came home from work she sat in the sun
briefly, licked my plate and then descended where she walked around in a circle in the cloak room, followed by a similar operation in the dining room. i stroked her and her look was almost one of goodbye. when i came back from planting cuttings in the garden she was nowhere to be seen. i think she did not want me to see her dead and also wanted to save me the stress of burying her.
if you publish i hope that this will help other readers of your site
