Google Apps for domains (specifically Gmail) FAIL for everyone lately, or just me? Timeouts, errors, etc. Time to find a new IMAP server. #
. @newmindgroup Hope this doesn’t come off as too rude, but what the f$@# would ever give you the impression I would be an Outlook user? in reply to newmindgroup #
I would take Mutt and Lynx as my primary Internet tools over Outlook & IE any day of the week without ever flinching for a second. MS FAIL! #
@newmindgroup .. Good, glad you could take that reply with a grain of salt as intended. in reply to newmindgroup #
Reading the first paragraph of this blog post, one could think it was written by me. Exactly what I say about the topic! http://tr.im/qOup #
One would think in ‘09 using modern computers you would be able to have a phone call without consuming all your dang CPU. #skype #ichat #yim #

Anybody ever seen a 112,374 X 24,229 pixel image of Hong Kong island before? Dead sexy! #
Trying to figure out after waiting forever to get a price fixed in the computer at Fry’s they come back and need my name and phone #. WTF!? #
@ramsey I can’t remember the last time Safari crashed. I’m sure it’s not been that long, but still can’t remember. What plugins/IMs u using? in reply to ramsey #
@mdhughes if you find a service which actually works well, let me know! in reply to mdhughes #
Dang you skype! Ruining a good conversation with your garbleness and dropped calls. You trying to compete with AT&T for the suckage award? #

Worked till 6am last night and now have a severe pounding headache. Yeah, seems not on vacation anymore and I am back at it full speed. #
Weather is so nice outside wish I was headed to go suck some EANx instead of to the office for meetings. Something for the weekend maybe. #
Bound and determined not to spend the weekend in the office, found a solution. Little duct tape, cardboard, and 20mins w/ a screwdriver FTW! #
I think my MacBook Pro is trying to insure I won’t have kids any time soon. Anybody got eggs or bacon they want to fry on the bottom of it? #

The quotes from people after watching my Macau bungee jump video are nothing short of hilarity. Makes the experience that more awesome! #
Just found out thanks to my iPhone that my bed faces dead on due east. Mostly useless info, but fun to know none the less! Thanks compass! #

~65mp panoramic photo of Hong Kong Island as seen from the ferry terminal on Kowloon Peninsula. Be sure to check full res! http://tr.im/qr5k #
I have a 7 gigapixel pano of HK rendering right now & hopefully it will be done by morning. Pushing ~400% CPU usage on Xeons rendering it #

@rckenned my stomach still tosses and turns looking at some of the photos. Wish it had stopped raining so I could have done two jumps. in reply to rckenned #

@SteveStreza hrrmm!? I’ve kept Eclipse open for over a month straight actively using it without it crashing or me killing myself. YMMV! in reply to SteveStreza #
Was only out of town for five days this past billing cycle (electricity) and still almost matched last June’s usage where I was gone 2 weeks #
Gotta love $35 electric bills even with never letting the temp get over ~75F and usually never over 70F when home. Go Silicon Valley Power! #
Sucks being mentally awake (well, mostly, mixed up a semiprime for a prime # on a phone call) yet physically exhausted. Feels like a waste. #

Back is the USA. Howdy San Francisco! Been a while. Miss me? #
Trying to figure out where I can buy a furnace filter at 8:30pm on a Sunday. Anybody got an idea? #
Thanks to everyone suggesting Wal-Mart, was hoping to not have to drive so far. California late evening/night shopping is FAIL! #
According to my car, in the 18hrs before I departed for Hong Kong I drove 370.1 miles. Didn’t realize 3.5 RTs to Berkeley was that far. #
Backing up my iPhone in preparation to upgrade to my 3GS. Been anxious to do this for 9 days now (since it arrived in CA) & finally get to! #
I think iTunes knows I am only doing this backup solely so I can swap sims with the new phone, thus it’s taking its sweet ass time about it. #
I now have enough United frequent flyer miles to get at least 2 tickets to anywhere in the world that they fly or 7 domestic tickets. Hmm. #

Zaia was good, but not my favorite Cirque. Now headed to hotel to change clothes for tonight + send overdue emails to important people. #
For those wanting to see photos sooner rather than later, here’s 2 low quality shots (sorry, net sux here) I uploaded: http://tr.im/flickrjj #
Boy I’m going to make some people back home really happy with what I just bought to take home. That means you @cheesycons (among others).  #
Just got email from vimeo saying that my jump video is online. 1st one to find the video & email me who I hoped to see after the jump wins. #
Left birthday party #2 after making a fool out of myself doing karaoke. Now at the D2 disco about to make a bigger fool of myself dancing. #
Every guy in the club was just staring at me & going “WTF!? How is this funky white boy who can’t dance got such a huge entourage with him” #
Just got a crash course in the mirangue (sp?) & still suck (my opinion, partner says otherwise). I really need to take dance lessons I think #
Back at the hotel, physically exhausted from so much dancing. I think I showed noticeable improvement tonight, need to do it more often. #
Waiting to board ferry for HK. Bit disappointed, but also looking forward to being home. Anyone able to pick me up at SFO Sunday at 9am? #
In China, TCO for an iPhone 3G (phone+18 months service w/ 2200 monthly minutes and unlimited SMS and data) is only $650. FU very much AT&T! #
@pixelarchitect which airline? Etihad Airways 1st / business class is killer, IMHO. in reply to pixelarchitect #
Sitting at the gate. One hour until boarding. Seriously doubt I’ll stay awake that long especially since lady at counter promised to wake me #
On board flight for SFO. “smoke” (really just water vapor) is billowing like crazy from all of the vents. Water dripping on my head. #
@lightsnoise ahh man! You’re in town and I’m not! How much longer are you guys in town? Any more SF area shows? in reply to lightsnoise #
Are there any iPhone twitter clients with push yet? If not, any of the popular client devs want scaleable backend for one? Willing to help. #
Scheduled departure time is 11:45am. Was going to leave early at 11:35 (told at checkin), now 11:55 and still not left. Hurry up already! #

Tried to take a photo of my hotel room for this tweet but the iPhone can’t zoom out enough.  Friends & Family rate rules! #Venetian #Macau #
@fraserspeirs the motorola S9 headphones work pretty well with the iPhone. Annoyed Apple half assed A2DP and didn’t do AVRCP support too. in reply to fraserspeirs #
About to go do that party thing. Good thing as the hotel internet was about to really annoy me. 500kb up/down internet for $160/night. WTF!? #
Anybody got any clue why I can post tweets when phone is on GPRS but not emails (even short ones) or tweets with photos? Always times out.  #
Party moving indoors as typhoon is now S3 supposedly. Now playing RPS over who gets the cashews at the bar w/ a bunch of women while waiting #
OMG! I just got a personalized birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday to by a crowd of people. Macanese hospitality is simply amazing! #
Ok, now that I was shock and awed, time to go make a fool of myself on the dance floor. Wish me luck in hoping there’s no cameras watching. #
Such an awesome birthday party last night with surprise cake and a chorus of Happy Birthday singers too! Photo of cake: http://tr.im/pVCu #
The weather looks like it just might be possible to jump off the side of a 760ft tall building. Mixed feelings. Yeah nervous excited-ness! #
Holy f$&)ing sh$t!!!! Just standing on the glass looking down has me nearly pissing my pants. It’s SO FAR DOWN! #
Im standing at the edge of one of those crucial life decisions. Do I go for it & jump 233m off the world’s highest bungy jump or chicken out #
Ok. Fuck it. I’m gonna do it. Fear is merely a reminder that your not dead yet. #
I think they have a live webcam, search for Macau bungee jump to find the site. Otherwise I’m buying DVD and photos. #
All suited up in safety harnesses. I’m so insanely petrified that I’m shaking. I love you [too long a list, but mom/dad/sis/gpa/gma/etc]!!! #
OMG! OMG! Canz I does againz? Please please please!! #
Most awesome adrenaline rush! Im going to do it again tonight I think doing a night jump. I’m now “part of the club” and thus it’s cheap now #
My timing was superb, it’s now pouring down rain. Had I chickened out a half hour longer I would have likely had to not go. #
Now eating egg tarts & drinking watermelon juice trying to decide if this isn’t really heaven. Yeah the egg tarts here are really that good! #
Funny info: after jumping I went back to the observation deck on 58 floor. Looking straight down through glass floor still had major vertigo #
Fear of heights just sent me a message: “you may have won today’s battle, but you still haven’t conquered me yet. I’ll have my revenge!” #
To all who asked, I bought the DVD and all the photos so will be posting online Sunday night pacific time. Macau bandwidth is FAIL. #
Now seated in great seats at Zaia (Cirque Du Soleil) for 5pm show. All wet from just getting back from the A-Ma temple in _pouring_ rain.  #

Interesting hotel wake up call. Set a time for wake up, you then get greeted at that time by someone at the door offering you hot coffee/tea #
@mdhughes I think delivery person jumped the gun. About 3m after leaving the phone rang with a normal wake up call offering delay on service in reply to mdhughes #
Stuffed with yummy delectable Chinese treats, now off to work off those calories on a tour of historic Macau. #
Anybody mine checking on the typhoon status for me? I’m stuck on GPRS right now and thus net is so slow! #

Lesson of the day, when you want something simple, quick, and cheap to eat don’t do the old adage & pick two, instead pick zero of the three #
@rckenned happens to me a lot in the US. I may be Caucasian, but that doesn’t mean I’m inept with anything other than a shovel with prongs. in reply to rckenned #
@mdhughes I’m tempted to start carrying my own and if they give me a fork, I use my chopstix to fling the food back at them. (j/k of course) in reply to mdhughes #
U picked up my plate, u picked up my empty drink glass, I asked u for a check, what part of me sitting here 15m later waiting is acceptable? #
@rckenned there’s a ton of people in the world who don’t know how to properly use a fork but does that mean we hand foreigners kiddy spoons? in reply to rckenned #
Why is it I always feel like crap after being forced to complain to a manager (just to get a bill!) even when it’s not my fault they suck. #

@jamiei Agreed I am not “sympathetic” to @perezhilton, but saying what happened (if it even did) was deserved or justifiable is wrong, IMHO. in reply to jamiei #
Amazed. So many saying it’s ok to assault a guy who’s “just” a royal jerk to celebs!? Even if turns out it didn’t happen u should be ashamed #
Woke up to phone ringing & made mistake of checking work email. I swear I get to much email I want to respond to. Now headed back to bed. #

Other countries make me laugh. You’d never see a street vendor selling sex toys _right_ next to one selling Hello Kitty kids toys in the US. #
I think every bank in Hong Kong has their own currency. I’ve got five $100 bills & each one is unique in some way and from a different bank. #
@mattgemmell Man, that’s hilarious. Actually there was a smelly pickled fish stand and a knife vendor on either side of them, so very close! in reply to mattgemmell #
@jamiei Put it to you this way, the delicious ramen, side of grilled beef and garlic chips, and tea was only $33 HK (aka about $4.25). in reply to jamiei #
If the United States had as many people per square mile as Hong Kong does, I bet we would have over a trillion citizens easily. #
Is it so common place in HKG to put burning items in the mailboxes that they need legal warnings on them? http://yfrog.com/0adl0j #
I’ve died and gone to bacon lover’s heaven!  This gourmet bakkwa from Bee Cheng Hiang is oral exstacy!  http://yfrog.com/0fcibhj #
@poplifegirl It’s asian pork “jerky”. It has the toughness of chewy bacon and a similar taste to bacon in a way, but no, it’s not “bacon”. in reply to poplifegirl #

Interesting take on Iranian elections. I still support choice, though, even if both choices are bad. http://bit.ly/4qed9u (link via @hagus) #

All checked into first hotel in Hong Kong. Surprised how many people speak really good English here and are _so_ friendly. HKG rocks so far! #
Wish it wasn’t so dark already. Got a 10th floor ocean view room staring out into mostly pitch black darkness other than the occasional boat #
Apparently my memory of F2C is failing me. Set hotel thermostat to 17.5° (thinking that was ~70°F, not <64°) and come back to a meat locker. #
Spent a good chunk of my flight to HKG asleep but despite that still tired. Think I am going to read more of “The Shack” and call it a night #
Was hoping to wake up to a beautiful sunrise over the ocean this morning. Sadly didnt happen but next best thing did. Mega thunderstorm! FTW #
Hmm… Wondering how I can rig up the camera to get a photo of all this awesome lightning. The thick fog is causing a lot of ambient light. #
Not sure if it’s cuz the storm lifted or just that it’s now after 7am, but a fairly constant stream of airplanes now passing by my window. #
Sign of a good hotel: When planes are constantly passing & you don’t notice until you look out the window http://yfrog.com/185u5j #
Oh Noes! Just found out one of the largest camera stores in the world is next to hotel I am staying at later this week. Must have willpower! #
Show support for democracy in Iran add green overlay to your Twitter avatar with 1-click - http://helpiranelection.com/ #
Ok, enough photo geeking on the airport island. Time to check out from the hotel and move west a bit over to Hong Kong. #
Gotta love hotels which use a wifi service that have roaming agreements with hotspot providers I use back stateside. Free hotel wifi FTW! #
@Clarko You should try adding a touch of Crème de Cerise (or Cherry Marnier works too) on top of that Frangelico. It will blow your mind. in reply to Clarko #
Just shot a 5.5 gigapixel panoramic of the Hong Kong skyline as seen from Kowloon peninsula. Think I’ll wait till I get home to stitch it.  #
Lazy web: anyone know of a good antifog treatment that is safe for camera lenses & glasses both. Bonus points for something findable in HKG! #
I think I’ve lost ten pounds walking around today.  All water weight. Yeah, I’ve seriously sweat that much. Glad I packed proper clothes. #
Hong Kong climate is no where near as bad as people make it out to be. The only sucky part is walking out of buildings and instant fog over. #
Supremely awesome early dinner tonight. Makes the ramen place in Mnt View look like crap in comparison. http://yfrog.com/5afyzj #
@jamiei expensive? Huh? More like the exact opposite. I’ve spent less on food in the past day than one would spend at McDonalds in the US. in reply to jamiei #

Driving home from an utterly _amazing_ night. Very thankful I’ve got a very long flight coming up later today to catch back up on sleep with #
Lightest I’ve ever packed for a flight, especially international one. 26.5lbs checked, probably only another 20 or so in carryon. #
On board 747 to Hong Kong. I think this is my first time sitting upstairs but not positive. Gonna be a long flight, hope to sleep most of it #
Pro Tip: 200mb of data for $199 via AT&T if you get INTL data plan ahead of time. That’s a $3800 savings over normal roaming data charges. #
Brushing up on my German during the flight when I’m not sleeping. Should be fun relearning what I knew and more.  #

Just used cut & paste on my iPhone for the first time. Nice implementation, but still feel I could have lived without it and not missed much #
The next 24hrs are lined up to be crazy beyond insane. Too many balls still juggling in air in regards to my vacay, should’ve planned ahead. #
Mostly all packed for tomorrow’s HKG flight. Now headed to Berkeley to pick up Franziska to go skydiving tonight at 10pm. Super excited!  #

iPhone 3G S cleared customs and is ready to head to California! Wonder if it will get delivered tomorrow or if UPS will sit on it till Fri  #
.@ThomasAtUPS figured that would happen knowing Apple, but thanks for the update. Awesome to see you guys updating people via Twitter! in reply to ThomasAtUPS #
@SteveStreza false rumor. I confirmed with a friend who works at UPS that mine cleared customs & guy from UPS is saying on Twitter it’s AAPL in reply to SteveStreza #
OMG! iPhone OS 3.0 allows you to delete SMSes 1×1 from the history with a person! So useful for msgs you don’t want accidentally seen later. #
100% - 1 mile avg error - 333 seconds… Can you beat me? Wish the states were easier to “grab” w/ the mouse http://jimspages.com/States.htm #
“This version of the iPhone software (3.0) is the current version.” - Yeah!! Don’t have to upgrade from the dev GM seed to release version. #
Big-ish album of photos taken with the iPhone 3G S is now up on my Flickr feed: http://bit.ly/eRuJl (via @Ihnatko) #
For all you iPhone 3G owners who were bitching about not being able to upgrade to the 3G[S] for the reduced price: http://tr.im/ATT_caved #
“carrier-testing” I hereby publicly profuse my deep admiration for your existence. Not that I “need” you, but man it’s awesome to have you. #
Just spent 5.5 hours straight on a call with 3rd party TV widget developers. After staying up all night last night, utterly wiped out now. #

Totally digging my new Motorola S9 headphones. Can walk anywhere without anyone noticing I have headphones on & no cord running to my iPhone #
Headed north to Berkeley to have drinks with a new friend. Traffic is thick so far, but better than expected. #

Got email that my iPhone 3GS shipped. If I remember CN geography correctly, I’ll be very near where it shipped from the day after it arrives #
@BrianHumphrey I agree! I feel this is only the beginning and many good things will come from continued gatherings of this sort. #crisiscamp in reply to BrianHumphrey #
Lazyweb: anyone know how to get both the iPhone and Entourage to stop deleting meeting invite emails after you act (accept/decline) on them? #
Missed Yoga tonight as I had a conference call I had to be on. Thinking about going for a run if I can get finished with this code soon. #
Freaking utterly amazing: http://tr.im/oDhZ Why can’t I ever be so lucky to see sights like that when I have a camera handy? #
Just read over a handful of other’s opinions of me. Out of ~33 some odd I skimmed, >25 used “passionate” to describe me. Hmm… Good thing? #
UPS Worldwide Express is 1-2 business day delivery from Asia. My iPhone 3G S left Shenzhen about 30 minutes ago. New iPhone before Friday!?! #
First test of “Find my iPhone” on my 3G via MobileMe. Seems to work pretty well! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeremyjohnstone/3632271746/ #

Sitting next to @poplifegirl listening to a session on doing Pakistan exercises, wishing I wasn’t leaving in less than 2 hours. #crisiscamp #
Missed the cut off window for checked luggage by 3 minutes. Booooo!!! FAIL! #
Got changed flight. Hour later departure and arrive 15 minutes earlier than originally planned. Cost? $0. United I love you some times. #
Attractive woman next to me is working on her resume using TeX on a Macbook Air. TeX users are an usual type of geek, IMHO. FTW #united #iad #
Home and unpacked. Exhausted but on a high from an awesome weekend. #crisiscamp DC was a success in many ways. Congrats @poplifegirl & crew! #
Just added myself to the http://wefollow.com twitter directory under: #geek #developer #photographer #
