Asked my 8yo niece what her dad does at work and she had no idea. My kids know what I do. Do your kids know what you do at work?
Just brought my P-O-S work PC to its knees again. But hey, on the plus side, my company saved $100 on RAM!
On second thought, I would be VERY surprised if the jacket fairy left Malaysian money in my pocket. Shorts, maybe. Jacket, no. Too hot!
Sweet, the jacket fairy left $60 in my pocket! Surprised it was US dollars and not Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollars or Malaysian ringgit.
Wrapping up the weekend with some quiet time and a @make magazine.
@alanjporter Very weird to finally hear a voice associated with YOUR face and MY name! (Especially a British voice - BTW, my kids love it).

All of those UNC fans won’t be able to find a place to park because of the CAFA Chinese New Year celebration… back up, reverse that.

@jjx They COULD be storing enc(pw) and enc(last4) separately… but prob’ly not.
fmedlin The problem with lunar colony restaurants: food is ok, but no atmosphere.
On that note, I love the new silent “ring tones” (vibrator patterns) in iOS5. See “settings / accessibility”.
The rattle sound of a cell phone vibrator grates on me like fingernails on a chalkboard. It’s supposed to be SILENT.
Software said it needed 4 more minutes to finish installing. That was 4 minutes ago. Now it says 4 more minutes to go. <sigh>
Proud to be an American. #SOTU
kaleidic Now that we don’t need “apps”, but host everything in web-browsers, one thing failing can take down everything else. It’s like old times.
@felicity_aston …words for all of us to live by :-)

@llorenzin On our long flights, I tried Sony n/c headset there, cheaper Sony isolating earbuds back. Buds won, got tired of the head vice.
Tried to search for “GOP primary debate”, but typed “GOP primate” instead.

Playing catch-up. Unpacking… not just from our vacation in Malaysia & China… but from Christmas, too!
Now I see that my ipod upgrade issues were self-inflicted. Note to self: check hosts file.
Tried to use iCloud to copy contacts from iPod to iPad. Ended up using “bump” app to send them over bluetooth.
Aw, poo. Tried to upgrade 3rd-gen ipod touch to iOS5, kept failing, something about can’t restore to this model.
@mammalpants for me, it’s jetlag
Dear @SenatorBurr I don’t support #SOPA or #PIPA. The law over reaches, is ripe for abuse and threatens the very internet itself. STOP IT.

While I was in China, I had to use a VPN to access a free & uncensored internet. I guess that was good practice for my return to USA. #SOPA
First day back from our long vacation, not a scrap of food to eat in the house. Hey kids, who wants to go out for breakfast? #biscuitville

Exploring Hangzhou’s West Lake by bicycle. It’s 36°F and overcast. Chilly, even with layers. Warming up at various stops along the way.
Aha! NOW I know who uses those power plugs that look like '/ … China. Had to find hardware store and do some mime & doodling for a plug.
@feedtheravens My VPN is PPTP to my personal web/mail server at @linode. Instructions here: http://t.co/sjqQ1Oxu
Hangzhou is pretty monochromatic today. Overcast, hazy, grey. When we were here 10 years ago (in the spring), it was almost Technicolor.
Testing my Mandarin skills with the hotel maid. First level quiz passed OK!
Wondering if Twitter is blocked from here… looks like it is! #vpn
After a week in sunny Malaysia, Hangzhou’s smoggy 45°F seems downright freezing.
Getting up before the sun so we can fly northeast. The Middle Kingdom awaits.

@Sheamus I feel your pain. My handle is mistaken for the pirate on Club Penguin. I get lots of tweets from kids. I usually reply (nicely).
Thanks to online banking, paying bills while on vacation is just as much fun as it is from home!
Surprised to see (& hear) hundreds of people clomp-clomping down our residential street in Malaysia, with matching T-shirts & race numbers.
Dang, looks like my router at home just got a new DHCP address, but has not updated dyndns yet. So I am locked out.
Just finished reading “Roots”. Would @levarburton approve? I missed seeing him as Kunta. But I took a look, it’s in a book!
Smacked a toe the day after Christmas. Been nursing it, hoping the nail would not split & break. Superglue to the rescue!
Spent a nice wet day at Sunway Lagoon water park, and then a night with long-time friends.

Saddened to hear that our family friend Joe passed away this week. I never saw him without a big smile. We should all be more like Joe was.
The smell of durian permeates the entire house.
Almost paid $100 for a soda. Colorful money: 50’s are green, 1’s are purple. Backs are same color. Honest man refused. http://t.co/fj7D9mRW

81°F and overcast, dinner by the pool, monkeys watching us.
Tweeting… from a remote tropical island in Malaysia… with a Kindle. Awesome.
Spent the day exploring Tioman Island with family - waterfall, sea turtles, tropical fish, resort swimming pool.
Forgot to pack a bathing suit (hey, it was Christmas), so I bought the poorest quality swim trunks I have ever seen. I hope they last 1 day.
You know that old George Carlin skit about traveling and packing smaller and smaller bags of STUFF? I am totally living that skit today.
The ferry ride over was bump-bump-bumpy, but I think this makes up for it. http://t.co/AAQqrTOz
In a place like Malaysia that uses the metric system, do their projects still have milestones? Or do they call them km-stones?
Perhaps “sporadic” is too generous. AT&T wants $20/MB. Forget that. So I just use open wifi hotspots. Very hard to do on-the-go.
Perhaps it’s just as well that I am 12-hrs off. I only have sporadic data coverage while I’m out. Must save tweet ideas and send at night.
@pwbrewer Supplemented, not replaced! HK is still huge. Local bank promotion has HK credit cards, one lucky winner gets a pink HK car!
I keep forgetting when I am on “the other side” that all of my tweeps are active when I am alseep. Refreshes during the day yield nothing.
Apparently, “Angry Birds” is the new Hello Kitty. It’s everywhere in Malaysia. Are you angry?
In case the KFC “Zinger” sandwich didn’t have enough mayonnaise on it, they also put some on the potato wedges. Yuck. http://t.co/FQOXnIL1

My kids say that their mother has invented her own word: oops + ouch = oopch. It’s her equivalent to “d’oh!”.
Wow, currently 85°F and 75% humidity on this New Year’s Day (in Malaysia).
I can’t believe I needed to do this, but I ended up using the Kindle’s 3G web access to Google for help setting up a DSL modem in Malaysia.
