EavesDrop is a wow plugin that acts as simple combat log that displays events using icons for spells/kills instead of raw text. It seperates incoming events (left side) from out going events (right side) from misc. events (middle).
Since cataclysm, the add-on bugged in Atramedes fight (Blackwing descent), when he used the sound power. The add-on has not updated since 15/10/2010 (before cataclysm), so I took the liberty to introduce a minor fix for this.
Please note that this is a workaround. The add-on will ignore all sound abilities.
Many thanx to Maria, for pointing out the problem and spending her time discussing possible solutions

You can download the add-on from http://bkarak.wizhut.com/www/programs/misc/EavesDrop.zip
WIND GR does not support iPhone4 in Greece. If you buy an unlocked iPhone4, then you’ll need to set up MMS and Cellular Data manually. Beware that with every major upgrade of iOS you need to manually reconfigure them.
It is rather tricky to find them, so here they are:

Two months ago i was thrilled. I discovered that Alfred Brendel was coming to Greece, in Athens, for one of his recitals (btw the announced that he will be retired after his scheduled performances in 2008).
I went with my friend Dimitris and bought our tickets and then waited for the big day. Alfred Brendel was scheduled to play Haydn, Schubert, Mozart and Beethoven. The detailed program follows (played in that order):
- Haydn: Piano sonata in c minor, Hob. XVI:20
- Beethoven: Piano sonata No. 31
- Schubert: Improptu 1 & 3
- Mozart: Piano sonata K457
At last the time had arrived, i went to Athens Concert Hall, sat patiently at the designated seat and waited to enjoy the recital.
The first 10 seconds was extremely wonderfull, then the audience decided to transform the piano recital to a piano concerto, and the orchestra (orchestra of coughing i’d say) was the audience and their coughs. When Mr. Brendel ended playing the first sonata, he actually noted that “there is a constant noise from the audience”. He continued to perform (he seemed irritated), but no-one seemed to bother, since the coughing continued.
After the break, the audience creativity really reached the sky. I heard people sneezing, modile phones, doors closing, personal items dropping, people chatting, and some others just playing with their bags producing a variety of noises. One lady (very old) fell asleep during the performance and she dropped her walking stick.
The disrespect for Mr. Brendel continued and after the end of performance. When the recital ended, and the audience applauded (in excitement, maybe because Mr. Brendel passed the test of patience, performing in front of uncivilized baboons), some of them left the hall. The problem with that was that the performer was still thanking the audience. This situation continued (people left all the time) for a few times, and since the applaud continued, Mr. Brendel played a bonus piano piece. Then the recital ended.
I really have to congratulate Mr. Brendel for his performance and patience and i must really say a very HUGE “SORRY” for the disrespect that the audience showed him (when he commented the noise fact, i was really ashamed). His performance was divine, and i cannot imagine what he really could offer, if he played in more friendly environment.
