Uptime

I doubt there are many servers out there that can beat this uptime:

Hips Don’t Lie – Charity Single – Out of the Blue – Shakira – YouTube

Don’t laugh, but this acapella medley of Shakira’s songs is strangely catchy.

ROM Reflash – Cyanogenmod 11 (Flemmard) – Part 3

I am not impressed. After flashing and restoring my applications, the phone seems extra sluggish and seems to have locked me out of recovery mode. When I tried to set my alarm for weekdays, I was fighting the phone to click the days of the week. I was pressing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, then the phone took several seconds before showing up the change, then unticking them, and ticking them back on again.

I reflashed my recovery from 4EXT, since I could still get into the main OS, and now I’m reflashing from my image back to my albinoman build. This Flemmard build is going on my “do not use” list.

ROM Reflash – Cyanogenmod 11 (Flemmard)

Reflashing my phone again. Using Cyanogenmod again, this time, a different build. This build is V4.4.4 instead of V4.4.2 which is the one on the albinoman build. The build is also later than albinoman’s one, so might contain some fixes to problems encountered in V4.4.2.

Restoring my backups as I type this post.

C25K – Week 2 Day 1

I completed C25K Week 2 Day 1 (timed) (3.12 km), in 19:00, pace 06:05 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/Z4Xt

I carry so much tech with me on my runs, this is what the plugs in my bedroom look like after a run. Charging my Nike+ Fuelband, GPS SmartWatch, Jabra Bluetooth Headphones and my Fitbit One.

C25K – Week 1 Day 3

Reflashing 3

So, I have been using the albinoman build of Cyanogenmod for a while now, and reflashing has fixed a few quirks, but I still get what appears to be a memory problem and the system interface restarts. So I’m going to later try reflashing a different build.

Video: Japanese bar uses sleeping drunks as billboards – Telegraph

Like many people around the world, hard-working Japanese people like to let their hair down at the weekend with a few drinks. Due to the low tolerance for alcohol among the population, many people enjoying a drink become so inebriated they fall asleep in public.

The Yaocho Bar Group has taken advantage of the thousands of “sleeping drunks” by turning them into human billboards warning against excessive drinking.
Armed with white duck tape, printed headlines, logos and a call to action, a team from the Yaocho Bar Group targets sleeping people on some of the most crowded streets in Tokyo.
Honour is held in high esteem in Japanese society, and the advertisers hope the billboards will shame people into drinking moderately
