Jutta is currently creating a list of various Contax cameras with descriptions and details on http://www.contax-users.de/kameras.xml (to the extent she can based on brochures or manuals). If you have a Contax camera, you can contribute material there.
A timeline of Michael Jackson's face - definitely recommended for anyone thinking about having their appearance surgically enhanced. Wow, the man looks like a living corpse now...
Rau urges parties to be honest - well, Brother Johannes, I'm afraid that's in vain. People who have been lying and cheating for decades won't suddenly become honest because of a call for integrity...
And what else besides blocking politics should come from the opposition? Some are busy explaining why a Bavarian as top candidate is a good idea despite electoral losses, and others are trying to pin all the blame on Möllemann.

Anybody think radio acts slower and slower as time goes on? My last post took 60 seconds to get a reply from the server. What's the point of having the server on the desktop if it takes longer than a typical remote server to answer? [ Mathieu's Radio Weblog]
Since I noticed exactly that today, I followed the tip and compacted my database. To do this, simply go to the Radio menu, into the Utilities submenu, and call Compact Databases. After confirming, Radio rattled away for a while and my databases shrank from 24 MB to 3.3 MB. After that it's faster. You should run this point regularly (once or twice a week?) so that Radio doesn't get too slow. To be safe, you should make copies of the database files beforehand, in case something goes wrong during compression and Radio still runs.

Möllemann under money laundering suspicion - and so Möllemann's downward spiral continues. You could almost start placing bets on whether he'll make it or not. I'm betting he won't. Who wants to take the other side?
