bah inbox on ios

##11:51 Saturday 20 December 2014 JST##

I wrote a message to Travis using (Google) Inbox. Clicked the + icon and his name was helpfully on the list of people to whom I could write. Bingo. Nice!

Got a bounce: the address to which the message was composed was Travis' old address! That's not helpful! Booo Inbox for suggesting an old address I haven't used in years for Travis.

So I tried to forward to Travis (new address) the message that I had written to Travis (old address), but I wante d to remove the "--- Forwarded message ---" header at the top.

I don't know if it's an Inbox thing or iOS thing, but I couldn't do it. Not even if it was a reply.

That is some shitty UX there. Is it supposed to be for "proof of existence"? "Oh look this is labeled '--- Forwarded ...' that can't have been modified! Nor prepended with '--- Forwarded ...'!!"

In 45 minutes, Lin and I are heading to Shinjuku to bus to Fuji to chill and then visit Fuji-Q Highland tomorrow! Wooooo

##13:15

As our bus was pulling out of the boarding area, Lin and I were like "wowwww" because it's in a pretty busy shopping district. Seemed to be less than a meter to spare in front of the bus on the first left turn.

This place is nice and quiet; I think there may be only one other couple here. We had each hot spring bath to ourselves, the entire lobby to ourselves, the entire hall to ourselves.

We took a bus from Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko, and then the hotel sent a shuttle to shuttle us to the hotel. The driver reeked of cigarette smoke, and the van was equally bad. I opened the window in the van to breathe fresh air instead.

There's a slight problem with using the facility as a ET Contact spot; they apparently lock the doors at 11pm each night. Hmmm. There's also a bright light that was on after 11pm. (The guy said it stays on all night, but I just went to check and it's off (at 3am), so maybe it goes off at midnight)

Other than the doors, now that I know the light goes off, this is a relatively good spot, though the trees allow less than 180 degree view of the sky.

Hmmm, looking at the video that Mark made, I am not sure if it's exactly the same spot, but it's pretty close.

Been posting pictures in my journal for the past couple of hours, getting caught up on the photos I had taken over the last month, but never posted.
