I paid a visit to my dentist today. I hadn’t received a reminder in a while, so I called her up and it turned out it’s been a little over two years (usually I go every 9-12 months).
Alas! There was a hole. Not a big one, it was patched up easily enough — but a hole nonetheless. It probably wouldn’t even have been detected if I’d come in earlier, so that’s okay. I’m just miffed my 12018-day streak finally ended, though I knew it would happen some day.
My brother Jan has been hooked on the Dvorak keyboard layout for a year or two and has praised it sky-high.

Of course, this is exactly why I have a Bluetooth headset, and when I use that, there’s no problem. Except that the PDA’s Bluetooth radio seems to be rather poor; the other party hears me through static noise much of the time. What good is a quality headset if the PDA can’t cope?
