Suffocation

Reading Fred's earlier post made me remember a bag acehole found warning potential users about the dangers of suffocation.

Picture of a plastic bag with an amusing warning diagram.

Coca-Cola workers may be going on strike

Writing about BBC article about a possible coke strike

This is a heads-up to all fellow coke users, you know who you are. Stocking up on coke is probably still a bit premature, but there is a slight chance that you will have to switch to Pepsi unless you do.

On the other side of the coin this may present itself as an opportunity to try out other colas. I will not risk Tesco Value cola, but that classic cola they sell at Costcutters is quite drinkable IME.
Have any of you tried other colas? How did you find them?

Ekiga softphone gets a contact list

Development version of Ekiga Softphone now sports a dazzling new contact list feature, which means there is a good chance I might actually be persuaded to keep the app running whilst I get on with my day to day things.

As evident from the screenshot, it supports contact groups, and works as you would expect. Unfortunately my contact list is rather bare at the moment, as no one else seems to use voice and video to communicate? Anyone?

If you run Ubuntu 7.04 you can try the cvs version by using the following magic deb line:

deb http://snapshots.ekiga.net/ubuntu feisty main

Before trying also note that there is a 400MB/day leak in the current svn build, so YMMV.
