Training Progress

My current Half Marathon training plan finishes July 10th. By then, I should hopefully be able to run (or at least jog) 1 hour 40 minutes. At my usual pace of 6 minutes/KM, this should get me 17 KM. Half Marathon distance is 20 KM, so if I can do this, my next trial is to get the last 3KM.

Zombies, Run!

*smacks head against table*

I was cleaning up some of my runs off Zombie Link (the web site for Zombies, Run), and it seems like I’ve deleted one of my completion runs for the first run of Season 2, so I’m now going to have to run it again. I’ve run that run several times already, and I don’t mind running it again, but it does mean I won’t get as many materials out of it this time, as a result of the update to the ZR app.

I guess I could always wipe my S1M1 runs of ZL, wipe my installation cache from my ZR app and resync, but then I’d have to redownload all the missions….

My, my, my, it’s been such a long time since I did anything on Blender, and it’s been a long time since I was reading off my Kindle app. Well, I’m going to pick up again, and although the books I have are primarily based on Blender 2.4x, at least I can use them to learn the basics.

I have a lot of material to cover either way…

Google Movies

Knowing that DRM works fine on Debian means I can happily rent and purchase movies off Google Play. My first rental was Dante’s Inferno and animated retelling of the game of the same name, which itself is a retelling of the poem. Different animation studios animated different chapters of the story which both added to and hindered the story. For example, Virgil was ghostly in one chapter, but appear almost human in another.

The second purchase was an actual purchase (not rental), but only because Play did not offer a rental for this title. The movie is Legend of the Millenium Dragon – one of the few anime titles on Play that is in Japanese and not dubbed. This one was an interesting watch, touching on topics related to war, prejudice and magic.
