VNC trouble

TigerVNC

Wow, it's been a really long time since I posted anything. Anyhow, I've been wanting to share more about problems that I've run into in my technology encounters and the solutions I've found. Recently, I've been using VNC (Virtual Network Computing) to connect remotely to another Ubuntu Linux computer on my network. I was trying to figure out why I was just getting my desktop without the Unity launcher/menu with a too big view space/resolution. Then I realized I had installed the Google Chrome remote desktop package. After removing the package, VNC worked as before (mirroring the view on the second computer).

Chicken Rice

For a small dinner I had chicken rice from Rudy's of Penang. The rice had a great chicken flavor and the chicken was nicely moist and roasted served with a sweet sauce. There was also a nice chicken broth made with Chinese celery and something else I couldn't pin down for a distinctive taste.

Indian Breakfast

Christina and I went to a local hawker place that our friends go to all the time to eat Roti Canai, curry daal, fish curry, and teh tarik. I was happy to try the Roti Canai fresh since I'd only had it frozen before. Christina knew about it and we often used the frozen kind when we made Malaysian food at home. It was interesting that it was all cut up. We were rather late for breakfast so our friend Denise said it wasn't as fresh as normal. That might be why it tasted similar to the frozen ones. Still, it was great. The curry daal and fish curry were great too. I love lentils and all that savory curry goodness. Indian food for breakfast was a new experience for me but certainly not unappreciated. The teh tarik, literally pulled tea, is a tea mixed with condensed milk poured through a strainer and "pulled" away from the tea in a cup as it pours. That was nicely mixed and creamy. Nothing else quite like it. Boba milk tea is great too but different. On a side note, check out Tea Station in LA for the great tea in boba milk tea or other tea drinks. Little Bean, also in LA, on the other hand is awesome for the boba and fruity additions.
