  • Getting ready for the trip.Got myself some Euros. :) #
  • Antiphishing tools..People who know about them,don’t need them.Those who need them,don’t know about them. This is a dead end. #
  • Pandor shut down for internaltion users. Last.fm bought by CBS. What’s next? Google sponsoring RIAA? #
  • 89 RSS feeds in Google Reader is my all time lowest. I’m gonna add a few now. Plus I have about 150 in akregator. That one is only growing. #
  • One picture is a thousand words.Suddenly I understand what Google Maps street view is all about. Thanks TechCrunch. #
  • wp-hackers (WordPress dev) mailing list stats show about 40% of people using Gmail. And no mutt users. I guess they migrated.Like I did. #
  • Last week I used Google Maps to find a better parking place near the office. Technology works even in the middle of nowhere. Priceless. #
  • I need a way to selectively hide labels/tag in Gmail and Google Reader. Anyone can recommend anything? #
  • The world isn’t perfect yet. I am using /usr/bin/expect for the second time this month… #
  • @alex_mamchenkov: Greasemonkey script can handle this,yes.”Better GMail” Firefox extension can hide all labels,for example. #
  • Next few twits will be about me and Greek Blogger Camp.Leaving home… #
  • on the highway to larnaca #
  • I am in Duty Free zone.Never understood the hype about it.Whatever. Our gate is empty,but many ppl around.Mostly Russians.Go figure. #
  • many russians,but not all.i just hear them better and pick them out of the crowd easier.i probably look the same. :-) #
  • unless everybody else is late or i am flying alone.or am i flying at all? 40 minutes to take off. #
  • ok.it looks like we’re flying.boarding.waiting for the bus.there some ppl here too. #
  • out of about 50 ppl here,at least 4 are geeks.with laptops and thinkgeek tshirts. and i am totally undercover.twitering doesn’t count. :-) #
  • i am in the plane.lots of hot chicks here.and guys without socks.fun.see you all in 2 hours. #
  • I.AM.IN.GREECE. :) #
  • I am in the Internet cafe, in Piraes.Choosing a bus over metro from the airport was a nice thing.I got here fast. Now I have to wait 5 hour #
  • Internet is 3 Eur/hour.No WiFi.Windows/MSIE only. The trip is good so far. Making notes on the way. Will blog more later. #
  • I haven’t been online for just a few hours and so much has happenned.Feedburner bought by Google.Now I’ll start using it for sure. Cool. :) #
  • I’m going to sync some of my notes with Twitter now. Just so that I have some backup. I’ll blog these notes later. Here we go… #
  • All stuarts on the flight are women. This is, I guess, something very ordinary. However I’ve seen male flight attendants several times. #
  • Stuarts = Flight attentdants = Air waiters = (almost) Space waiters. Sounds cool. Especially in Russian. #
  • One of the stuarts was particularly beautiful (on the outside). Her inside beauty wasn’t something that I saw during this flight. #
  • One of the stuarts had her b/f on the flight (smiled,touched him).Her smiles to the rest were more natural than of other stuarts. #
  • During safety instructions demonstration,oxygen mask broke. The incident generated plenty of smiles and further attention. #
  • “tu u spik ingliss?” … boy, her English sux.. #
  • Video iPOD is not like TV.It’s too small and you have to hold it on TV.It’s just not the same thing.Weird.Maybe needs some more time. #
  • Playing cool,eh?If you’re so tough,then why do you have tampon in your air?Can’t handle a bit of jet ear pressure? #
  • That stuart flies too much.While giving flight info she confused our destination.On the mic.Twice.With two different destinations.Rest? #
  • The stuff they say on the speaker is to be spoken, not heared and understood. #
  • She knows guys love her. And she shows it. She uses it. And she shows that she uses it.But she’s not beautiful enough to do so. #
  • I like watching people. I don’t want to judge them at all, but that is what I end up doing.Over and over again.Not my purpose though. #
  • OK, I think these are all from the flight. Switching to sem-real time.. #
  • 60Hz CRT is killing my tired eyes. Plus this MSIE thingy is weird. And to add insult to injury – it’s all in Greek.I won’t survive this long #
  • Good thing I have Google Gears and an offlined Google Reader with 2000 items to go through. I’ll switch to this in a while. #
  • I don’t think sharing my Twitter password with the Internet cafe is a good idea anyway. Good thing that I don’t remember any other password. #
  • Shift click in MSIE opens the link in a new window. That’s as close to tabs as I could get. #
  • http://speedtest.net doesn’t work from here because of Flash version.Using the one from Thunderworx: 1758.029 Kbps.But it’s slow. #
  • Reading through digg. HTML earrings made me smile. :) http://tinyurl.com/yrpy57 #
  • I need a reminder for that Gates/Jobs video. It would be nice to have the video itself, but for now a reminder will do. #
  • Steve Jobs + Bill Gates = video in 7 pieces. 1 of 7 is here : http://tinyurl.com/2b95cr #
  • A couple of guys are arguing nearby. Greek Greek language sounds very polite after Cypriot Greek. No “RE” and stuff like that. #
  • I’m getting offline for a while. Next tune in will probably happen from the island of Ios, where I should arrive around 10:30am. #
