Done yesterday (20111222 Th)

I guess the big news for the day was looking at my test results and seeing my triglycerides below 200 (the high end of normal) for the first time in years. Possibly decades -- Kaiser's graph only goes back to 2006. I think I can safely attribute the good results to an increase in omega-3 intake due to switching from fish oil to flax oil. OK, so I'm refinishing my arterial walls with linseed oil. Cool!

Blood sugar is up a little, though, putting it a little into the prediabetic range. Combined with the neuropathy, there is some cause for concern. And my HDL level is still low (by 1 point).

A rather frustrating day at work, trying to make a command-line SIP client (linphone) work on the Mac. Oddly, it only fails with USB microphones. I suspect some kind of buffering problem. If anyone knows something else I can use to make SIP calls from a command line, and that can be easily installed from macports or a download, I'd be grateful.

Our boxes of Christmas tree ornaments seem to have gone missing. WTF? People have been helping us clean and organize the living room, so this probably shouldn't be too surprising.

As for links, ... Does Airport Security Really Make Us Safer? NO, of course not.
