a (relatively) unproductive day

i can't believe how tired i was yesterday. so, i did nothing for most of the day. but i was still able to take care of the most important things i needed to accomplish

* figured out how to access my taiwan debit card and actually withdraw money. now i just have to transfer my us dollars into that account
* upgraded the unlock on my iphone, which did not fix the data issue. pwnage tool is awesome. though i lost all my non-itunes-store apps, and reloading all my data (music, etc) takes way too long. went to the phone company headquarters, and after going through 3 people, i now have (very expensive) data service. the settings to which they changed my phone was the same as i had last year (but didn't work then), so i think this new upgrade definitely helped. and i was impressed-- the customer service there is incredible. they've got multiple levels of triage, and if the person cant fix it, it goes right to the next person. in the 5 minute i was there (only 5 minutes!), they must have taken care of another 5 people.
* got myself some of the best stinky tofu in taipei. yum.

yup, the 3 top most important things that i should have done on my first day in taiwan. just so i don't sound like a lazy bum, i also did some work, though no programming. mainly research, design, and planning, but that's easy relative to coding.

but for whatever reason, i was so tired. i went to bed at 8:30pm (on a friday no less) and didnt wake up till 7am. i had planned to go check out some bars, but i guess that'll have to wait for another night.
