Got the Economist Xmas issue but haven’t read a word yet. #feelbad

#

Home! Now for laundry…

link

#

#NYE sirloin is out of the fridge, salted and peppered, waiting to get to room temperature.

link

#

Checking out.

link

#

Waiting for boarding @ Gate 3

link

#

One thing I’ve been really bad at: having the camera out of the bag instead of in it. I’m a tourist, might as well look the part. #photog

link

#

Malaysian airports are way less concerned about liquids than EU ones [quaffs smuggled water at the gate]

link

#

Deplaned KLIA. Fuck yeah 3 hrs free wifi.

link

#

Fair warning: checking bags at KLIA is pretty expensive: RM112 for 2 large bags and 2 small ones.

link

#

Man, this Pilot G2 pen is useless in humidity. Leaking like an incontinent old man.

link

#

Back from the mangrove swamps of North Langkawi.

link

#

Stupidly opted for the paid version of an app over the free one. Of course it doesn’t work so now I have to try to get my money back.

link

#

Wow this 1 for 1 beer deal they have going here is deadly.

link

#

Man, @fart and @katienotopoulos are doing a fine job pissing in the punchbowl of cheer and goodwill to all men with their retweets.

link

#

You know Russia had truly arrived as a tourist nation when you see a restaurant called “USSR” offering Russian food on Langkawi.

link

#

Half bottle of whiskey - €2. No wonder Langkawi is so popular.

link

#

Viking sending messages to his friends in Sweden telling them it’s Xmas Eve here, 7 hrs before Sweden!

link

#

The giant list of iOS text editors crashed mobile Safari. Anyone know of a mobile version?

link

#

Just did a timezone calc to determine earliest possible time for End of World. I’m using UTC-6, and noon.

link

#

Our driver told us the relative lack of traffic was due to #EOW fears, dunno if I believe him. But KLIA is pretty chill too. #trip

link

#

Oh yeah, waiting at gate A8 for the flight to Langkawi. Will arrive just as world is ending is Mayans counted from midnight.

link

#

Wanted: single-serve website that tells me if the world has ended #EOW

link

#

Turns out iOS Calendar only knows 1 timeline: the local one. Makes entering flight itineraries awkward. Also, Passbook? Dude, please.

link

#

Just messaged my son a link about tablets being a threat to kid’s education that he requested.

link

#

“Time for a Tiger”

link

#

Arrived in KL after a long but uneventful flight. Thankfully, could check in at <09:30> local.

link

#

Jet lagged, we stumbled over to the KLCC mall for food and coffee. Easily rivals a Dubai mall (has a Patek store ffs) but much nicer vibe.

link

#

I realise the irony of flying 14 hrs just to eat at a McDs in a mall food court but again, jet lag + 10yr old does not encourage experiments

link

#

Is it always so clunky to “upgrade” a free iOS app to a paid version? Why does a wholly new app get installed and I have to set it up again?

link

#

Upgraded to @Echofon pro. Should have done that a long time ago. But why do I have to d/l a whole new app?

link

#

Awake at <04:25> local. Breakfast served from <06:30> #jetlag

link

#

Semestern inleds med timslång kö till bagageinlämning

link

#

vi fick gå före kön! lyx!

link

#

Arrived at Schiphol, drinking crazy expensive water and eating ham and eggs.

link

#

You can’t bring 50cl of water on to the plane but a litre of flammable spirits is A-ok #securitytheatre

link

#

The 2 girls skipping all over the subway car are disproving the image of the well-behaved child of the Northern suburbs of Stockholm.

link

#

I wish my love for public transport wasn’t as theoretical. Maybe it’s the time of year, slushy December Sunday makes everything look bad.

link

#

All I want for Xmas is a new iPhone cover.

link

#

I complain that I have to get up early in the morning to fly to distant lands for vacation, but strangely I elicit scant sympathy.

link

#

Men tend to dominate most public spaces but the lingerie department isn’t one of those spaces.

link

#

There are no longer any human members of this family that are not iPhone users. Android is doomed!

link

#

Hmm tweeting directly from the notification area? What fresh devilry is this? #iOS6

link

#

Office Xmas party is on the Day of the End of the World. I can’t attend, I’ve fled to the other side of the world #21dec2012

#

Shutting down all hardware before xmas vacation #win

#

Väntar på en freakonomics-argument till att Gävle sätter upp en bock varje år. Turism? Tradition? Blidka gudarna? #fb

link

#

Ceremoniously puts Google Maps in the place formerly occupied by iOS Maps.

link

#

I’m looking for an iOS twitter client and missing #Gravity so much! @janole, no skunkworks projects I can help beta-test?

link

#

Couldn’t get my iPhone to appear in Explorer so had to upload the pics to Dropbox #rubegoldberg

link

#

Almost burst a vein putting up a lamp. I hate drywall with the heat of a 1,000 suns #fb

link

#

Man I’m posting DIY shots to Twitter, next step is food, last and terminal step is poop.

link

#

OMG it’s 12/12/12 <12:12:12!>

link

#

Meh, the Pope is only following himself in different languages @pontifex_{de,es,pt,pl,it,fr,ar}! Isn’t that agains the Twitter ToS?

link

#

Disappointed the Pope isn’t tweeting in Latin. I blame Vatican II!

link

#

I’ll start following @pontifex when he retweets a funny #lolcat, not before!

link

#

My frustration at not getting the help I need from coworkers is tempered by the fact that I have 2 more days before vacation #work

link

#

On the internet, no-one knows you’re a dog but the fact you’re an idiot is abundantly clear.

Mayafolket menade uppenbarligen att jorden skulle gå under år 2012 i SNÖKAOS

#

There, purchased a ticket to @aimeemann in Stockholm 15 Jan 2013

link

#

“Förtal av avliden”? Är det något man kan åtalas för? #palme #callgirl #letitgo #fb

link

#

Surprised the Pope’s Twitter account isn’t @ex_cathedra
