Here we go. See you in Sydney.
Yeah don’t tell me which government ministers are attending RSA Asia Pacific. Send plane tickets. [Is that too unsubtle?]
@michaeltwofish Laos will probably be first.
Group 1 is boarding. I’m in Group 3. In halal cattle class.
@juhasaarinen @jeamland Speak for yourself.
@michaeltwofish Well, I fully intend to plan some more travel with associated media very soon.
@NicholasFryer Thanks. Alas, despite being familiar with the trans-Pacific commute, I still can’t sleep on these fuckers.

They’ve said that we’ll be boarding soon. Once we start, I’ll turn off the FondleSlab and see you in Sydney tomorrow morning.
PeteDotAscian @stilgherrian @chrisbrownie Why stop at one ibis? Party time.
I probably shouldn’t be allowed near the Internet.
RT @chrisbrownie: Okay also…”Must do” things in Sydney next weekend? [Have sex with an ibis.]

Trying to understand why people seem to get into such dramas at airports. I’ll just assume it’s because they’re idiots.
@franksting No, that was all done in 15 mins, ages ago.
@garystark Jesus wept, there’s no Walkley for Entitled Whinging, you know.
@jeffsonstein I have yet to visit the UK. People seem to want me in The America mostly.

@garystark @michaelneale What? Oh your poor precious little petals. This is a good airport. Try Nairobi some time.
@gattaca Nah, man, I’m tired and not drunk whatsoever, so I’m happy to have someone sort the details. And he was legit.
Cleared. And grateful, for the Nth time, these guys’ badges don’t read “TSA” but “Team SFO”.
Oh great. Thanks to the efficiency of BART, I’m now at SFO nearly three hours before departure time.
I also love BART train operators’ delusion that their low audio bandwidth mumblings are at all comprehensible over the electric roar.
I love taking BART. It’s like 1972’s concept of the future.
Dear The America, take care of your goddam veterans. Ex-Marines asking $2 to help with BART tickets? FFS! I gave him five.

Bother. My car booking has been screwed up. Looks like I’m getting BART to the airport.
Damn damn damn! They have Cao Ni Ma (grass-mud horse) for sale in Chinatown and I didn’t keep enough cash. Aaaargh!
So he drops on the table not my bill, but the dessert menu. THESE PEOPLE ARE EVIL.
Imagining Tories.
Waiter just asked “Are you able to finish that chicken, or do you want a bucket?” Yeah, they get it.
@nicilind I am not in a position to explain your breakfast.
I’m cybering right now. These restaurant sized napkins are a boon.
dobes I am aware that someone is cybering. Can this week be over now?
EX_V19 @stilgherrian Hunter S Thompson would have kicked his arse in a fight
chrisjrn Cyber Awareness week?
I’m going to go and hide in a corner. Let me know when it’s over.
Jack Kerouac was a softcock.
That and fact they’re playing Sonny & Cher.
Look, @jeffsonstein , the very fact that the place is called “Jack Kerouac Alley” should be sufficient warning.
@jeffsonstein Oh God, I can’t go anywhere after this except the airport. Or a vomitorium.
If you’re wondering where the other 20 cloves of garlic are, they’re inside the chicken.
This dish is called “Forty clove chicken”, and it is what it is.
Oh dear God, it’s only half a chicken instagram.com/p/Zg0innCFl3/
This is weird. I’ve been able to see the sky in San Francisco ALL DAY.
@SnarkyPlatypus Yeah I probably shouldn’t be allowed in North Beach.

@jpwarren I believe FondleSlab was coined by Mr @charltonbrooker.
So with that done, it’s an early dinner at The Stinking Rose. And then a long-haul flight. Is this a crime against humanity?
Or, you know, um, how many fingers am I holding up? This is how it all started last time.
Or two, obviously.
I’ll get to lunch eventually, but I must first have a refreshing $8 Bloody Mary at Vesuvio. vesuvio.com
@SnarkyPlatypus Je dois trouver un endroit qui accepte mes cadeaux.
@rayhasaust Guessed as much. Jailbreaking is a moot point, I won’t be doing that.
@SnarkyPlatypus Je ne sais pas encore. Je vais décider une fois arrivé à la plage nord.

@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Il est lumineux et ensoleillé, et je suis sur mon chemin pour trouver le déjeuner. Je suis mélancolique. Et vous?
Hmmm… Is there a way to make the FondleSlab’s home screen something more useful than a grid of icons? It seems… primitive.
@dahowlett Yeah that was always a colleague’s policy. Be customers’ first thought for help every time.
The Apple Store on Stockton has neither of those in stock. Heading, on their recommendation, to a nearby Target.
Sun plan, 1145 PDT: Apple Store; wander San Francisco, including lunch at North Beach, probably; 1900 car to SFO; 2235 UA863 SFO-SYD.
To the folks who suggested Tweetbot to me, yes, I agree. Nice bit of work. Is there one for AppDotNet? ;)
@jeamland You’re a greedy man.
@ivovic Ta. I have a couple USD 50.00 Amex gift cards, so my plan was to spend one on the cover and the other on a long lunch.
@ivovic Thanks for all those suggestions for now. I reckon I’ll check the Apple Store now, since it’s close and I have to check out.
RT @BXGD: Probably because nothing can beat etsy: etsy.com/search?q=ipad%… [Indeed. Alas, I leave the US in 11 hours. I’ll explore later.]
@ivovic Indeed, and the Belkin Chambray looks like exactly what I want. I’m guessing the Apple Store will have it too.
@ivovic Heh. Tastes always differ. That Evouni one is gorgeous. “Daily maintenance”? That might count me out. I trash the tech tools.
@ivovic Please do! I want to grab something at least before I catch my plane tonight.
@ivovic Something folder-like that can also stand up for watching stuff? TBH I haven’t thought it thru, I never planned to have a tablet.
@ivovic Ah yes, I see your point. I’m not wanting to go TOO weird, tho. Maybe just a choice of fabrics or something. Not, oh, carved teak.
No-one seemed to know of a place to buy an interesting iPad Mini cover in San Francisco except the Apple Store. Surely there’s others?
Another excellent breakfast at @cafemason consumed. Now getting myself ready for my final day of wandering, and then departure.
Sun plan, draft: Breakfast, Cafe Mason; wander San Francisco with no clear plan (tho I have a list); 1900 car to SFO; 2235 UA863 SFO-SYD.
@Beautyon_ @StealthyApp No, you’re just not differentiating between “many” and “all”. You’re saying “always”. Anyway, that’s all for now.
@iansambo I haven’t tried. But I figured that’s what is was from screenshots, tho, and didn’t think that was worth giving away more privacy.
@Beautyon_ @StealthyApp Anyway, I can see you REALLY want to Believe (I mean this neutrally, I’m smiling), so let’s wait for the diagram.
@Beautyon_ @StealthyApp My point is that there may not BE a proxy “behind” where the blacklist blocking sits. Proxies don’t appear by magic.
@iansambo What do you find good abut Flipboard? Seems just another player wanting to insert itself in between me and my reading to track it.
@Beautyon_ @StealthyApp It’s a “normal” scenario, too, but I know you’ll need a diagram, to prove Proxy Magic don’t exist. Wait, Sir/Ma’am!
@Beautyon_ @StealthyApp I’ve a scenario in mind, yes, but LOGIC says that if the possibility exists you can’t claim proxy will ALWAYS work.
@StealthyApp @Beautyon_ I’ve already mentioned the *kind* of problem: A proxy needs an unblocked path to the target. Can’t guarantee that.
@johnb78 Well, I won’t be a “West Coaster” for much longer. About 14 hours to go.
Hello, Sunday.
