argh... 10 more days...

I finally found something I hate as much as T-Mobile - AA. the descent to sfo today gave me the worst ear plugging today. my left ear is still deaf after 6 hours.

at Disney's xmas parade.

one of the few photos we taken in Disney. before batteries of all our electronics failed on us one by one.

in route to Disney...

love virgin america

free wifi is nice

ice swirl on the car

chilling cold morning. pretty cool

door... busted

at the local target and the fire truck comes in. guess it's literally a door busting day....

I think I finally get it: Facebook=cyber stalking tool; twitter=news aggregator; buzz=...cricket, cricket...

Hope and Cheerfulness

I am feeling cheerfulness again.  There is really little stopping me from it.  And I have gain access to it again.  I, am hopeful.

I am hating the evening commute more and more with the latest office move. it's time to move to somewhere closer to work...

hmm I've just found out two cpk I knew r no longer there. I wonder why... craving for their tiramisu...

dev of xscope finally fixed the thing right. it is again my favorite browser on android. u should try it too if u live on android like me.

random upload

my youngling :-) telling me his aiming at me with his cannon...

new awesomeness has arrived in android market: Pocket Legend. if u r a fan of wow then definitely should try this...

SD card screwed up on my Nexus One

Argh... tried ddrescue and just dd, use autopsy/sleuthkit to figure out the partition offset by bytes, tried mounting the recovered image file, no luck. keep on getting this crap:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

I am glad I did a backup, but not so glad that it's been a while (1 month+)...

ah no wonder parking lot is pretty empty this morning. thanks twitter for letting me know what today is... :-p

rainy day = a day at Super Franks for Cyrus... and about one thousand other kids...

just got an email from netflix saying Netflix on wii is now disc-less too. awesomeness!!! (would be even better if wii can do 1080p HD..)

awesomely done angry birds for android... found 1 hidden golden/easter egg 20min into the game. fun time!

work out 4 out of 5 work days this week. Work-life balance = 0:1 :-)

84°F in mid-october. are you kidding me?

a sci-fi looking sunset

I think "they" have finally arrived... we're under attack~

Firefox for android (beta) looking real good. ui is nicely designed. great potentials. oddness: install takes out about 30 MB rom space, though it offloaded a lot to SD now still takes about 17mb and that's before factoring cache and installing and plugin.

also I miss to find a switch for user-agent. and seems like its loading google.com in desktop browser mode

test

Testing my blog... haven't done a thing for too long

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAbsmHMAhrQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player excited. love the form factor, swype keyboard, plugin keyboard, video calling... etc. pls pls don't be sooo expensive.

it smells like it will rain hard

I fix GSA by day and fix Android by night... #hardworker_at_google just fixed this issue on my phone: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9593

viewing open houses made me realize how much I've missed to have a home office space again...

wow I'm getting full bars for tmo 3g at home. that's really good and really odd.

SF is under heat wave attack. 89°F! so we are back to our favorite ice cream place at 24th and Harrison again.

love how screen rotation lock is implemented on the latest Amazon kindle app for android!

audible.com android app is pretty cool! but $15 for one book per month still makes me hesitate... price of knowledge or status quote?

menu | settings | SD card and phone storage | internal phone storage | available space = X If X >= 30M: myFroyo=happy_state else: remove_some_app_and_whine=True

all the cache created by various apps is eating off my android phone's ROM. want that 6gb internal memory space on the Droid X...

Tough week - SICK!

Everyone was sick this past week. We even lost track of how this one gets started. Any how, Cyrus started a fever past weekend, and went thru 4 days of fever (2 days b4 and 2 days after seeing his doctor). All the running nose, mucus productive coughing, vomiting, fever, rubbing his face until they are broken.. etc are back again. Then I got sick too, just stuffy nose and minor coughing fit. A day later, Kristie gets even sicker than me, she even feel light header and feverish...

Anyway, I am enjoying a bit of peach and quiet time laying on my couch, staring into the dark, listening to lala.com and blog a bit, before going back to antibiotics and coughing syrups...

Headache, stress from home...

Woke up with a headache again. No stuffy nose. Perhaps caused by stress from work and home? Kristie's feeling ill on her back (chronic), her hand (bruised recently), her cold (started yesterday, again) so her temper became very ill too... I think I am gonna watch a movie tonight, if this headache is gone.

Anniversary dinner @ bijou on B st. Hayward.

Headache day

Yikes, woke up with a bad headache and decided not to go to office today. took excedrin after breakfast did not help this time. Slept a bit helped, but I slept a good 7 hours last night...

Two possible causes: Sinus - one side of my nose was stuffy when I woke up. or Eyes - they were tired yesterday... I finally decided the 2560 x 1600 resolution on my HP 30" monitor at work was too small for me, I adjust the resolution to 1920x1200 and that made me felt a bit better.

1st headache in a while

haven't had a headache since the last doctor's visit (when KC had Mono) but a minor one starting since last night after the Bowling game.

Didn't sleep well, since I woke up with headache coming and going. It feels like a bit of tightness on the upper right side of my head... a bit like muscle sore.

At Bowling game (since that seems to be when the headache start) I ate some fried chicken and shrimp with some typical dipping. and drunk a big cup of Pepsi.

And I suck at Bowling. I bet this is why I got a headache.

[update] Thibault's got some nice photos from the Bowling team outing:

Serenity Prayer

It's a nice prayer, from movie 'Mr. Brooks'

God grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

And wisdom to know the difference.
