Flying in through Utapao

Lucky me. After having spent 21 looooong hours on tiny Doha airport, everything worked out fine.
After I got out of the plane in HongKong, it took me just an hour to organize a flight to Utapao Thailand. Economy was full though, but I was lucky to get business class for only HK$2700.
Ha! probably the first and only time I'll post from a Thai Silk Lounge ;-) 

Meanwhile the courts in Thailand ruled against the People Powaz fools... [deutsch]
Well then, I should arrive in BKK by midnight thai time. Cheers.

On my way

BKK is still blocked. Trying to get into Thailand through HongKong. Really missing Nick, Stevie & Nuch! Wish me luck.

Firefox Page Zoom Button

You can access Firefox's zoom function with three keyboard shortcuts Ctrl++ Ctrl+- (Ctrl+mouse wheel) and Ctrl+0 to reset to 100%.

But then there's this great tiny add-on which let's me access the browser's zoom function exactly the way I wished to:

move the mouse cursor over the icon
mouse wheel zooms
left click resets to 100%

Logitech illuminated keyboard

While I was awaiting an illuminated Logitech keyboard for a while now, there are so few extra keys on the keyboard... raises a touch of skepticism here. I'm really into minimal design though.

All the recently released mice don't really satisfy me either, so I keep wondering about their future products with 'bang' features.
