Ugh… Found out two of the meds I am on have a restricted ingredient in the UAE, but the actual meds themselves aren't listed as banned. Hmm! #
I get so sick of OSX sometimes. Have a disk "go missing" and the whole damn OS/Apps lock up forever and a day waiting rather than timeout. #
Updated last phone to iOS 5, had 1 bar AT&T (despite being under a tower). Reinstall ultrasn0w, back to full bars. Odd!? #
@qqTC Thanks for the childish commentary. Very helpful! #
@qqTC A reply from someone who knows what they are talking about, otherwise why would I have said anything. #
@qqTC Also, sling all the insults at them you want, but facts don't lie… http://t.co/fjj9JXTY (ps, yes, I have all three carrier's iPhones) #
@conradev Thanks! Thought that was the case. The bug is related to the jailbreak, yes? Have any specifics on the bug? #
@qqTC Because I travel… Also, because my "factory unlocked" iPhone went for a swim in a friend's pocket that I loaned it to. #
@conradev thanks! will follow up with him later then out of curiosity. #
Anyone know if Signal works on iOS 5? It's not been updated in a year, so have my doubts, but really hope it does as I use it a fair amount. #
@synack boo! no invite!?!? /cc @SteveStreza #
@conradev I've been involved in the "world of jailbreak" for a long time. #
@conradev My how to guide on jail breaking the first iPhone was the top result in Google for numerous different queries for years. #
@conradev That said, I haven't done much lately (as in past year or two) due to lack of time, so I am out of date on a lot of it. #
Long shot… Anyone have the source code to Signal besides @planetbeing? Really want to update it for iOS5's commcenter if possible. #

@mhay68 @pbowden what time? #
@dane The issue is with large apartment complexes. AT&T doesn't home run the dry pairs and/or mark them identifiably at the demarc. #
@dane Happened to me and also a friend who lives in a different building (but nearby). #
@dane Thankfully the AT&T tech came back before I went crazy and just tap/toned all 1000 pairs @ the demarc for my building to find mine. #
Apple now surpasses Microsoft in market cap, revenue, and profit. Boom!
/via @tristan #li #
Has anyone figured out how to get Synergy2 working between two Macs running latest SL? Seems its a known bug, but I can't get any ver going. #
@rckenned Man… This looks _PERFECT_ but my machines aren't able to find each other (different subnets, but have direct communication) #
@rckenned OMG! That was a difficult thing to figure out how to get working, but man it rocks so hard core! I owe you immensely for the tips! #
@rckenned In case you know anyone who had a similar issue to me with subnets, here is the solution: http://t.co/b6hxl1y #
We decry Apple for privacy concerns over the location DB, but it's fine that Google does too AND it's exposed publicly? http://t.co/AppbGY4 #
@rckenned neither was Apple's either unless you gave the data away. #
@peteypavello I have no problem with it. The point I was making is the stupid media making a fluff about Apple and not Google. #
@dane actually, that was my one bad experience with support. Took hours of back and forth w/ support for what seemed like a common problem #

@alanQuatermain using what version of Exchange? I'm near 100% positive I can with Exchange 2010. All older versions of OWA are total fails. #
How @Nike went from flirting with the idea of open data to creating a fellowship with Code for America http://bit.ly/fVBn50 #in #
@mergesort how so? The location stuff was found in backup files first, not jailbroken phones. #
@mergesort you understood entirely wrong and were misinformed on the topic. Here's a good source for info: http://url.vg/6J9K #
love the clarity/clearness of this response. this is why I trust Apple http://url.vg/6JMv /via @iTod #in #
@thinkgeek been closer and was a much bigger twister! then again, I was also on a trained team of storm chasers too. #
@Noffy4Life It wasn't, for the vast majority of those owning iPhone 4s. The media blowing things out of proportion doesn't make it "valid". #
@WrightsCS Did you read the link before commenting, or just choose to be snarky? #
@Noffy4Life Then why didn't you exchange it? I could barely _force_ mine to do it when I tried and same with many friends. Those who … #
@Noffy4Life could reproduce it reliably took their phones back and were promptly swapped for one which didn't. #
@Noffy4Life Just like the iPhones with glue issues, some had actual issues with the antenna. If it's defective get it replaced. End of story #
@Noffy4Life I know someone else who had similar experience. Still doesn't make it "antennagate" implying it was similar to Watergate somehow #
@Noffy4Life I'm saying the media was wrong for blowing it out of proportion no matter who the company was. I'm not "defending Apple" here. #
OH: "Want to program something in ColdFusion?"
OH Reply: "I programmed recently in C#, so my soul is already darkened, why not?" #
@lights I always figured you would probably meet your future husband in WoW and any future kids would be Lvl 60 before their 1st birthday. #
That's really weird… my leg started "vibrating" like I had my phone in my pocket, but yet my pocket is empty. Odd muscle spasm FTW!? #
Friend told me today: "You use emoji and emoticons more than even a Japanese school girl, yeesh man!"
#tigerblood #winning yes? #
“@ashponders: @SteveStreza harden up.” — ditto! #
@MehraBee I feel so unloved! #
@wilshipley @siracusa holy hell that sounds delicious!! #
@MehraBee because I'm not allowed to see the secret, real you, account. #
@Lessien @counternotions while I agree completely with your general premise, not sure those are the examples I'd have ran with. #
@macgasm if you want to reach the professional audience on the web, you need a "share on LinkedIn button" Just saying! /cc @joshuaschnell #
Hey @WaltMossberg, if you tested an AT&T 3G iPad you'd get roughly those same speeds in many cities (outside SF / NYC) http://bit.ly/jFpgdU #

@bdrago @Cabel press & hold on URL in @TweetBot allows you to do 1 click urls too. Only issue is images, action menu isn't convenient there #
@mxcl @GreySyntax here's some ideas:
1) not tying their app to the reincarnate of AOL

2) providing a good UX

3) owning their users info #
@chronic notified pro and sbsettings (with retina theme of course) #
@TheMudkip @chronic highly fugly, but super impressive none the less! #
@chpwn @notcom I doubt using "I" alone would be enough to purse, but anytime a Corp is a "proxy" for a single human it's very hard to defend #
@roidrage if it were me, definitely the later! #
@notcom @chpwn oh, I saw, I was just amplifying that part of your tweet to be more direct and clear. #
@roidrage I get about 22-25hrs with mine. #
@Nadeem97 what's an example of one of these bugs you're attributing to Apache on OSX? #
@jeff_lamarche tell the '97 you that it's a magically thin Apple touchscreen laptop & you wouldn't be that far from the truth (in '97 terms) #
@Nadeem97 are you using curl or stream wrapped file handles? #
RT @funkatron: OH "Let's be honest, if you're using PHP, your global scope is already a bit compromised" — Aman! #
@Nadeem97 seems like using a jackhammer to put in a screw, but if that works for you, great! Me, I much prefer using right tool for the job. #
There are 2 types of people in the world, those who can properly grok server side programming, and those who shouldn't even try. #
@Nadeem97 guess the thought of using the PHP and Apache that came natively never came to mind? Both work very well OOB. #
@Nadeem97 and if it were me, I'd grab a Linux distro of choice (Debian personally, but any works) any day over XP for a webdev project. #
@pixelarchitect you would have to see the Twitter conversation I'm currently having to fully appreciate that remark. Full of FAIL. #
@adurdin parse error on line 3 #
(function(){
var truth = "Javascript is awesome.";
return truth;

})();

/paraphrase of @adurdin #
@adurdin that thought entered the back of my mind but decided to run with it anyway. #
@roidrage "small nuclear power cell" is the scientific name for it. It's probably better known by it's trade name of @hypermac. Highly reco! #
Apparently my rainbow unicorn powered TVs talk at JSConf is on Monday @ 2:40pm. If you're a "JavaScript everywhere" fan you should be there! #
@roidrage they have a bunch of sizes. The 150 seems to be a nice trade-off between battery life and weight/size for long distance traveling #
@mhedstrom interesting! Do you have a link to more info? #
The woman who just sat next to me on the shuttle had excellent taste in perfume, but was horrible in "moderation" if you know what I mean… #
… She also had horrible taste in cell phones, so the perfume was probably just a gift I bet and not a sign of her taste in general. #
@GreySyntax @adurdin that's hard to do anyway!?!? #coffeescripthasbettersellingfeatures #
Latest arrival so far to office thanks to incompetent Caltrain maintenance on train ahead of us. (@ LinkedIn) http://4sq.com/dQZ3qe #
@adinardi Which part? The last line? #
@adinardi yeah, it is just your client wrapping it. #
Thank you @Adobe for confirming you just don't get good UX _at all_! Case in point today, try finding the DL link for Photoshop CS5 Trial #
@Adobe Try finding that anywhere else on your site. Instead find signup links to "Learn when CS5.5 is released". Even that page is clumsy #
@Adobe And yes, I had found that page after about 10m of stumbling through your site. Almost grabbed laptop w/ CS5 installed already instead #
I get this #Photoshop error http://t.co/W2pI14N when I try to Save for Web/Devices, but File->Save/Save As works fine. Any ideas out there? #
Nevermind, rather than ranting about @Adobe failings on the web, I should remember GIYF and learn the hacks to fix their installer failures. #
@subhrokar Nope. Brand new install of Photoshop CS5 on a brand new machine. Appears this is a common problem caused by their installer. #
If your CS5 install crashes on exit / shows error dialogs as documented here: http://t.co/s2xyjdb & that fix doesn't work, check ownership! #
@ChiperSoft you are taking global scope too literally. #
@ChiperSoft it's a tongue in cheek bash in general about using PHP. Think from that "scope". #

@mdhughes @bmf with or w/o anything else below is the question. Really not a fan of the latter after one unfortunate bus ride blinding me #
@pixelarchitect same car my mother drives. great gas mileage! #
Christians: Happy Easter. Jews: Happy 6th day of Passover. Atheists: Happy Day 114, 2011. Muslims/Hindus/Buddhists/Others: Have a nice day! #
Here comes yet another @favstar_pop in 3.. 2.. 1… #
@tristan I really like how you think! #
@MehraBee Vietnam was utterly amazing! Wish I could go back right now. Still in LA? When are you going to come visit friends up North? #
Church bells are playing Joy to the World. Always did love that song! Now another set of bells at another church seem to be colliding. Boo! #
Seems the churches down the street realized they were colliding and both just suddenly stopped playing mid-note. Interesting! #
To anyone who thinks the official @Twitter client killed competitors, look no further than @Tweetbot. I love this app more & more each day! #
If @Tweetbot had push notifications for follows, mentions, DMs, & faves I'd uninstall all other clients, even w/ other features needed still #
@crispin8888 @chronic it is very similar to @neiltyson's, as I was inspired by his. I wanted to be more inclusive of others though. #
@crispin8888 I ran out of chars or I'd have hat tipped the original, but either way, is there a point you were trying to make by your reply? #
@jtarrio I love @Boxcar and all, but I don't feel like it's the right solution in every situation, case in point being Twitter. #
@jtarrio problem with using @boxcar for tweets is that iOS only keeps the last notification PER app. I use @boxcar for more important stuff. #
@jtarrio funny you should mention that, I use Notified Pro! But that doesn't negate my point, I don't want to wade through crap for nuggets. #
@joshuaschnell dang it! I knew there was a reason. thanks for clarifying, I'll work on that! #
@a @coates if my female doctor can give me a physical without issue or protest, why can't we legitimately request a female #TSA agent? #
@joshuaschnell oh!? Crap! Time to hit the wordpress admin dashboard and force out a post! I've got readers again!! #
@coates @a neither would my doctor! That's not the point. If the #TSA agent was attractive every perv would be lining up begging probably. #
Only 8.5 kilos more to go! I bet I could do it in less than 60 days easily and healthily if I lived in Vietnam! http://flic.kr/p/9BjPEL #
I'm really impressed how much of the Korean I understand in LOST between Jin and Sun w/o reading the subtitles. #winning #
@ibreakth1ngs Withings. It's the iOS app which goes with their wifi enabled scale. #
Every time people herald Apple as "just getting good UX" I pause and think about Apple's payment processing & then question their judgement. #
If everybody failed as miserably at payments in edge and/or error cases as bad as Apple I would never use anything other than cash. Ever! #
@MehraBee if you need a place to stay, let me know. #

@ChiperSoft no, I actually meant Jahweh. Essentially means the same thing, but there's a slight distinction. #
@ChiperSoft and yes, you are in the right ballpark, but there's a much more specific connection between them. #
@tristan I've had similar issues 2-3 years ago and thus don't use keychain syncing anymore. In a world w/ 1password + dropbox, not missed! #
@mtabini evil man! #
Tweetbot could become my favorite Twitter client by large margin w/ just these addl features (in order):
Tiny font
Flickr photos
Streaming #
@SteveStreza sure, when I'm on 3G. But when I'm on wifi (like right now) it makes perfect sense and other iOS clients do it w/ great results #
@SteveStreza idiots will be idiots no matter what you do. easily messaged w/ a "streaming enabled" notice in the "pull to refresh" area #
@SteveStreza besides, quality user experience is obviously not a high priority to you, as you're using Twitterific for Mac as your client #
@FredericJacobs I'm not much an iphone landscape mode guy. iPad, sure, but not iPhone, hence not important to me. #
@SteveStreza I build products for the top 75%, not the bottom 25% of intelligence. Different strokes for different folks. Each works! #
@gedeon @SteveStreza u do realize I wasn't being serious, right? I need to invent a universally recognized snark / troll face for Twitter #
For those of you who follow @SteveStreza and I, no, my comment about @Twitterific for Mac was not serious. I'm feeling trollish is all. #
I wish Twitter had a feature that asked someone why they are leaving when they unfollow you. Guess I'll email the good friend and ask. #
1) 3^3 * (3 + 3) + 3^3
2) (3^3 * 3 + 33) * sqrt(3) + (33/3) + 3
3) (33/3) + (33/3)

I just ousted Dheeraj K. as the mayor of The Sky Club (@ the paramount) on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/d36DH9 #
@tristan I've been checked out twice and been deemed as ideal a person as possible, just I'm timid when it comes to my eyes. #
2nd reco request: what's the best Vietnamese food place in SoMA? In SF area overall (if different)? That delivers to SoMA (if different)? #
@tristan that's not my issue at all. I'm just petrified in general over the (albeit highly remote) chance I could lose my eye sight. #
Anyone know if it's possible to swap out a Verizon iPad bought on opening day for an AT&T one still? Having buyers remorse over going VZW #
@zadr @tristan mine has been stable a long time, I've just been petrified of side effects. #
Re: @sarahuth VZW may be better for voice, but data coverage is just as spotty commuting and their b/w + latency is horrible in comparison! #
@flo_core the test is if you can figure out what it all means. #
@sarahuth not sure how I'd have a (legitimate) opinion on the VZW's data QoS on iPads if I didn't get a data plan for it. #
@sarahuth yup! Used it a bunch and am not impressed, especially when on caltrain. Also the lack of intl roaming sucks too, but less an issue #
Continuing my trivia trend this weekend, anyone know what these 4 Egyptian cities had in common: Heliopolis, Hermopolis, Memphis, & Thebes? #

@tristan We haven't even scratched the tip of the proverbial iceberg yet! Once we progress beyond ACR tweaks you will be blown away I think. #
"In short, the severity of the impact was because this is a type of outage that Amazon told everyone couldn't happen." — such a B/S excuse! #
@mdhughes It's not a matter of "relying on the clooud" to me, it's a "I don't plan anything because people told me they are reliable". WTF!? #
@mdhughes How the hell does one get to be a reasonably large 'net company & not have a hot spare minimal setup with an alternative provider? #
@SteveStreza Aman! Sadly, so many companies, @wakemate especially included, just don't get how to reach out to their customers effectively. #
If I follow your company on Twitter, it means I'm already convinced. Retweeting everyone who says you're awesome comes off as insecurity. #
One thing I am so happy Apple put their touches on: browser debugging. Firebug just has nothing on Web Inspector these days, IMHO. #
@SteveStreza couldn't agree more! I still vividly remember the days when it first came to life and revolutionized web development. #
@pelechati @stevestreza That's not an issue for me. I only use Firefox for testing a Firefox specific bug, so it's start time is irrelevant. #
Aren't the new 15" MBPs supposed to have decent battery life? My new one seems to only get 2hrs at best. Please tell me that can't be right? #
I might offend some of my followers with this, but… "My kingdom for all SF Giants fans who take Caltrain to games be deported to the moon" #
@SteveStreza I so would trade Daring Fireball fans for SF Giants fans any day of the week! #
@pbur thought so! WTF!? Guess I will be doing a swap sometime soon. #
@janeylicious @pbur Yeah, I am doing merely light web work right now (on Caltrain) and it's already down to 75% in less than a half hour. #
@SteveStreza I am _SO_ down for that! I think I might start coding that right now in fact while I am surrounded by drunk noisy idiots. #
re: @GreySyntax I have CloudApp and Twitter.app installed. Hmm… Wonder if that's it!? #
@PHP_Architect A week. #
@t_ch0 Did that earlier today, no help. I'm now wondering if it's the GPU eating the battery because of CloudApp / Twitter? #
@RoyalPineapple It's showing 6861 mAh. #
@PHP_Architect I have nothing open but Twitter, Outlook 2011, and a ton of browser tabs across Safari and Chrome. #
My Bose QC2 at least are at least taking the pain away from the screaming idiots on this train, but still very very loud. Seriously STFU! #
"People" are seriously _OBNOXIOUS_ when I have noise canceling headphones + iPod turned to max + over amped music and I STILL hear them #
re: @GreySyntax Seems that was it! The discrete GPU was in fact the one in use. Forced it to use Integrated only using that app. Thanks! #
@zadr not in the remotest right now. I'm thinking it's because of the discrete gpu (hopefully now fixed with gfxstatustool app) #
@Christleen I'll pay $1000 for it!! /cc @nasatweetup #
Current Status: http://flic.kr/p/9ANjgM #
@billkunz it's a week old. I'm pretty sure it's gpu related, but will report back after I've tested it some after installing gfxstatustool #
@t_ch0 I installed gfxstatustool. Will report back after I let it run a while. #
If you follow me, know where I live, and like wine, stop by! Come up to the roof and I'll pour you a glass! Cabanas are nice and heated. #
@SteveStreza you of all people should know I've at this point nearly 200 bottles of liquor, so if wine isn't your thing, plenty of options! #

@ejacqui I realize you were just being a bit hyperbolic, but if EC2 has the power to "ruin" your life, your life was already bad anyway. #
@ejacqui But of course! I would expect nothing less just because of @clint alone #
@eagleshack Thanks! #
One "positive" thing about Amazon going down? You now know first hand every single company who is in us-east. Uggh! #
@rckenned I realize these are startups, but man, it's 2011, you'd think people would have learned about SPOF avoidance by now! ;( #
@rckenned "rapidly changing", no, but neither are many of the startups who went down today. #
@rckenned "writes" isn't "rapidly changing". Distributing new content created is much easier than content which changed. #
@rckenned That said, those aren't the startups which I am referring too… Those guys are big enough where they have no excuse for failing #

Really digging the LinkedIn Connection timeline hack. Very visually pretty. #inday #
@eridius First time I went back after 2 months, found out they had somehow lost my renewal and had to do over from beginning including test. #
@eridius 2nd time I still didn't have mine and had to get new temporary as the previous one expired. #
@eridius The 2nd renewal app was done beginning of November, I didn't actually get the DL until approximately March. #
@eridius It's enough of a problem they have someone monitoring Twitter and calling people who tweet about issues they have. #

Not like I complained much before anyway, but my trip to Vietnam seems to have lowered my opposition to walking long distances dramatically. #
@VietnamVisa Vietnam is one of my favorite APAC countries I've been too. #
@VietnamVisa hoping that will be sooner than later. I miss someone there greatly! #

Decided to offer to carpool down today with one of my favorite Yahoos today. Glad I did, was a lot of fun catching up and sharing stories!! #
@dens how long are you in San Francisco? #

@TA_Mobile can you get more details on what they are wanting exactly? #
@noellechun except the end of the quarter was March 31st… #
@julie_anna I did mine on the Saturday before I left. Very proud of myself, first time I've done it without an extension in 3-4 years. #
Apparently something I just added to my Read It Later queue causes it 2 crash w/ 100% repro even after rebooting. Sad panda! /cc @IdeaShower #
Very annoying having 2 big apps needing update and accidentally hitting update all on iOS just before heading to gym. Twiddling fingers now. #
Can't remember the last time I was this happy to go to work, especially on the first day back from vacay AND on a day I'm driving in. #
Holy crap! Since when was gas $4.33 a gallon!?!? At least this softens that crushing blow, a little bit anyway… http://flic.kr/p/9zAyKV #
@ReadItLaterHelp just replied! I found the one causing the crash thankfully, so hoping you can still reproduce to fix root cause. #
First checkin on my first day at the new job! Hooray! (@ LinkedIn) http://4sq.com/iegNIs #
@rckenned uggh! Thankfully my car loves the gas it seems. Not had that good of gas mileage in a long time. #
@rckenned wow! We are on the same team. #
@rckenned of course! Driving sux #
@rckenned yep! Remember her saying she knew you both now #
@rckenned will do! #
@synedra you got it!?!? #
@kentbrew not changed the license plate yet… Was hoping to just sell the car so I don't have to deal with the hassle #
It's amazing how enjoyable it can be to work for a company that has it's act together. Absolutely no regrets so far joining LinkedIn! #
@mergesort not any particular one, but yes, in comparison to my previous employers over the past decade, LinkedIn is much better so far. #
@mergesort possible I guess, but I've been to APAC countries many times in the past. #
@mergesort is there a more beautiful region to visit with such a rich diverse culture? #

SOB!! It seems to have intl roaming on my Vinaphone number I had to send an SMS BEFORE leaving to enable it. Not finding any other way #
Does anyone I follow speak good Vietnamese and willing to call a phone number for me to ask customer service a question? Pretty please! #
@TA_Mobile The call I need is to Vinaphone customer service. I need to know if there is a way to enable intl roaming other than sending txt. #
@TA_Mobile They were open an hour ago, but couldn't speak enough English to know what I needed. #
@TA_Mobile Here is the page with info I am going from: http://t.co/6QueQAE — I had good luck getting someone at HCM # 0918681111 #
@TA_Mobile Just ask them is there any way to enable roaming on account after you have already left VN. I can't send the text to 9123 now. #
@TA_Mobile No, I was in HCM city yesterday, but now I am in the USA. I want to use my Vinaphone pre-paid SIM while in the USA. #
@TA_Mobile +84 124 3410729 … Thanks! #
@TA_Mobile … Does any carrier there allow pre-pay and have intl roaming in USA? #
@TA_Mobile I want a Vietnam number so a friend can SMS and/or call me cheaply (cheaply for her, I don't care what it costs me). #
@TA_Mobile Thank you! Yes, tomorrow would be ok! I can text/call, I need a way for her to be able to text/call me w/o high costs for her. #
@TA_Mobile mobifone is her carrier #
@motech I can call/text easily through many methods, what I want is for someone in Vietnam to be able to call/SMS me cheaply. #
@TA_Mobile I think she has the Nokia 5130 XpressMusic phone. #
@motech already thought of that… would be awesome if so, but doesn't seem to be possible. US numbers only. #
@TA_Mobile I will also use messenger with her too, but would be nice to be able to txt/call w/o it costing her a lot if possible. #
@TA_Mobile not for a while sadly. Is it possible to setup a subscription account somehow from here? #
@TA_Mobile define "big" for me. Are we talking > 5 million VND? #
@TA_Mobile it's late, so I will talk more with you tomorrow (VN time). thanks for all your help! very very appreciated!! #
I don't normally gush like this, but of all the people I know only online and not in person, @chronic is near/at top of the awesome list. #
Now if only I had some Bánh mì to go with this Cà Phê Chồn, I could call it a breakfast of champions! http://flic.kr/p/9znttE #
Wondering now if I made a mistake regarding pushing a friend to want more and seize new opportunities. Might not have been ready yet. #
Playing the game "if I was a spudger, where would I be" #thingsyoudowhenfriendoceanifiesyouriphone #
@tristan me too! ;( #
@SteveStreza While we were at the beach, @tristan forgot the unlocked iPhone i loaned him was in his pocket and went and dove into the ocean #
@SteveStreza Yeah, I know. Trying to see what if anything I can salvage from it as parts. #
OH: "You do know even if by a miracle you're able to desolder flash memory & recover contents, good luck getting decryption key!" … FU! #
Based on the level of corrosion inside, I think pretty much everything (digitizer, LCD, camera, battery, etc) is toast. #iphoneoceanified #
Had I'd found a #00 screwdriver and a can of CFC-113 equivalent in Vietnam, I bet I could have salvaged this iPhone, but now is too late. #
@SteveStreza @digeratii not possible! I demand proof! #
@Janeluv aman sister! #
@SteveStreza @zadr is that count including me? #
@SteveStreza No, I think someone forgot to invite me while I was away… #
@zadr @stevestreza not possible! I would never miss something like that, even if I was quitting a job and planning a vacay like crazy. #
@SteveStreza @zadr nice try! 2 weeks, 5 days ago which would have put it right smack dab in the middle of my last week at Yahoo! #
@SteveStreza how low is "very low" ? #
@SteveStreza In that category, cost isn't really a factor. I'd probably do E*Trade as a first one to experiment with and see if it fits #
@Xof My question would be why only six? … Also, no need to download for each device either, several ways to avoid that. #
Just finished downloading all the compact flash cards from the trip. Seems @tristan and I took 88.27gb of photos/videos (about 73/15 split). #
@globalmoxie @mantia I've had phones from that era and that is a pretty poor knockoff. Love the idea, but the implementation is lacking. #

Yes, that is @tristan in line at McDonalds! Apparently the non-stop Vietnamese food got to him. http://flic.kr/p/9yZC2r #
I'm at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) (275 S Airport Blvd, San Francisco) w/ 55 others http://4sq.com/fFfTzy #
@SteveStreza Ty Ty! That said, I'm a bit sad to be home! #
@zadr Ty Ty! #
@IdeaShower of course I did! will post them asap. #
This is so not Vietnamese food! Damn you @Tristan!! (@ In-N-Out Burger w/ 4 others) http://4sq.com/estQap #
I'm at Paramount (680 Mission Street, 3rd St, San Francisco) http://4sq.com/gIyeq8 #
Quandary of the moment: do I unpack and sleep or do I go to the Cove and hang out w/ friends? Public vote will decide, cast your ballets! #

@Cocoanetics @chronic Yahoo! did a similar video a year or two ago and to my knowledge had no negative PR from it. #
I'm at Apocalypse Now (2C Thi Sach St, Ho Chi Minh City) http://4sq.com/iihn1k #
Next time I travel to Vietnam I'm bringing firestix w/ me. I'd be an big hit on the floor even more than I am with two iPhone "flashlights"! #
I learned to pop & lock nearly fifteen years ago thanks in a large part to @nicke10mm and his wife Kim. You'd think more here could by now! #
Boom! And that is why I do what I do and others can do what they wish. That's all I can say (and no I'm not drunk, just respectful). #
re: my last tweet, had nothing to do with me, Sofia, or Tristan. Just saying some people get what they deserve based on their actions. #
@kalkor travel with me to a foreign country or somehow convince me to post the video (doubt you'll succeed on the later though). #
@flyosity dude, please don't propogate the greatest Internet myth of all time. DNS doesn't "propogate". It's either cached or not. FAIL! #
@SteveStreza @flyosity that myth's seriously one of the worst cache poisoning I've ever seen. It can't ever be shaken and annoys me greatly! #
@flyosity that is seriously one of the worst written & borderline factually incorrect articles on wikipedia. I'd fix if I wasn't exhausted. #
@flyosity yeah, yeah. I know. Said that to people before too. in my defense, I spent 4 of last ~5.5 hours dancing in a club in Vietnam. #
Please tell me I'm blind & @Tweetbot really does have RiL / Instapaper support!? Why must I need 3 different clients to get features I need? #
re @tweetbot ty! yep, I see it now. W/o setting it up, no button shows. Might want to improve the discoverability of that sometime in future #
@tweetbot another suggestion is add an option to block & report as spam at the same time. Doing both individually is tedious. #fightspammers #
@tweetbot ahh! Hence my confusion I guess. Thanks for the replies! Good all around, but a few small areas to improve. Will compile a list #
Achievement Unlocked: survived a Vietnamese grocery store (thing pre-Thanksgiving crowds x3!!) http://4sq.com/fOjiRf #

@janeylicious try buying a fridge with one day delivery for $4! I still don't know how they make money off of me with Prime. #
@janeylicious nope, not exempt! Also bought a bunch of other 50lb+ things before too all without issue. #
Surprised Calcbot only triggers on 58008 and none of the other ones from our childhood (like 3104558 for example) days. #
Ever have a dream where even after waking up and realizing it was just a dream, you're still livid at people from it? Yeah, me neither! ;( #
Achievement Unlocked: I found the one and only helmet in Vietnam which fits an 8 1/8th hat size head like mine and it's only half silly! #
@ashevilleallie dang your pooch is an old timer! #
Convincing people here to let me make a flower arrangement myself wasn't easy, but worth it! #winning http://twitpic.com/4kzjk6 #
Either I've lost about 5 kilos this trip or my self image has improved that much. Either way, I think both would be #winning #
Taking frogger to the next level. Crossing streets are to easy, time to flow along them! http://flic.kr/p/9yJFay #
Personally, @tristan can make all the jokes about my head / helmet size he wants, I think I look awesome! http://flic.kr/p/9yJG9J #
@KuraFire I think there is a distinct difference between "could be" and "are now" that many in this argument fail to take into account. #
@hchamp I couldn't agree more. Went off hard core in my last talk with them around real security and how to actually attain it. #
@tristan don't make me sick the "honda men", the "please u buy something", the "u want find boom boom", & every other annoying type on u! #
Learned over lunch today w/ Sofia that having a bad dream is a sign of good luck in Vietnamese tradition. Hope so, last night's was a doozy! #
@tanepiper why would you retweet that? Seriously! #
@tanepiper the one re: arcade fire #
@tanepiper haha! Rather gross in all regards, but I can understand that I guess. She looks vaguely familiar but not sure why? #
New rule: Until I can take someone's avatar on Twitter for iOS & put it into Tinyeye to ID it, please stop prognosticating the death of OSX. #
@Cocoanetics exactly how I describe it to non-techies! #
Thinking about making a cup of Chồn (VN for essentially Kopi Luwak). Wish I had a can opener for the Sữa đặc. MacGyver-ness kicking in! #

@simonw I have only one word for you, @1Password … #
As punishment for drowning my spare iPhone, @tristan now has a Chinese "glide to unlock" phone with a STYLUS! http://twitpic.com/4kcc35 #
OH: "Sorry, it's gonna take me about five minutes to type on this phone. You might as well go on ahead before you turn old and grey!" #
@rckenned was joking more about the "hairy chick", but yeah, that one is funny too! #
@sarahuth oh, believe me, it's on video for sure! not great camera angle, but still 1080p HD none the less! #
@pbur vacation! My last day @Yahoo was April 1st & I have 2 weeks till starting new job. Tristan hadn't been outside country so he came too. #
I'd give almost anything to be even remotely qualified to apply for this job: http://♶.ws/gjLbUH, anything!! #
@kevinchen Interesting theory, hadn't actually thought much about that one! #
@royalpineapple I would totally accept an iPhone 5 prototype in exchange for the drowned iPhone 3GS. @tristan, you should get on that! #
@BorrowLenses How is that new? I rented that from you last fall! #
Not sure why I woke up at 5:30am today, but this sight is worth it! http://flic.kr/p/9ynnZR #
@poplifegirl how many peeps? Catering included with venue or no? #
@poplifegirl I could help arrange Hacker Dojo (venue of RHoK #0), but not sure on catering. Will poke around a few people I know. #
“@Toddicus: Random Hacks of Kindness mentioned on the USA Today Cover Story today! http://t.co/1uvq6Mo” <– OMG! This is EPIC! @RandomHacks #
Anyone know where in Vietnam I can find a USA Today!?! I must have one immediately. #
After just viewing a couple videos on Flickr again in Safari _w/o_ Flash, it reminded me that I should plug this again: http://t.co/Yags0GZ #
@nptacek me too! I've Chrome installed for the rare instance that I need Flash (like my bank), but otherwise have abstained on my new MBA. #
@nptacek For some older content it won't play (they older content isn't H.264 encoded), but otherwise it works very well for me. #
Phở, dragon fruit, fresh passion fruit, and Vietnamese coffee for breakfast? If that's not #winning, I don't know what is! #tigerblood #
@davedelong @ctp keychain doesn't sync cleanly & easily among all of: multiple macs, iOS devices, and/or any random Internet connected PC. #
@SteveStreza @Digeratii ditto!! (except I'm in the thousands range). So disgusted over it. Worse than notifications as that's "easy" to fix. #
@SteveStreza + sign, create new album. Add button to "Move to album" in actions menu. Done! Take a junior dev a week including QA! #
