I finally figured out (with some help) how to get
Quicksilver to dial a phone number using my
Vonage account and click2call. Implementation is as an applescript which gets passed the phone number to call as a text string, which it then munges into the URL which it invokes using curl. Script available for download
here.

As a followup to
my previous post on influenza vaccine effectiveness, I note today
reports today of a
study showing that influenza vaccine doesn’t actual reduce deaths among the elderly. Actually, there’s also a
second study in the same journal related to influenza vaccine, covering a much smaller time span.
I’d read the actual articles, but there’s no way I’m paying $12 to download the PDF. Journals need to figure out how to stay in business in this internet era without resorting to either extortion of the readership or killing trees.

I’ve been rather too busy to blog for a while, which is too bad. Lots of interesting stuff to talk about, but I just haven’t put time aside to do so.
In any case, if you only read on long article this year, then
this is the one to read.
Welcome to the world in which Alberto Gonzalez is the chief law enforcement official of the United States of America.
