Training

Final day of the Week 2 runs. Nothing major, same routine as the previous two, but decided to push the jog speed up a bit compared to yesterday.

Busy day tomorrow, so probably won’t be doing my run tomorrow.

Training

Training today was in a hotel in Dublin so on Treadmill which screws up the tracking of the ZenLabs app. Second day of the Week 2 set of runs

Training

Continuing to work through ZenLabs’ 5k app. Today, W1D3, 5min walk then 1min run/1.5min walk x8 and then cooldown.

A cold run today – bumped into a group of runners in the local park also doing intervals and they invited me to join them. Politely declined as they were doing small laps, and I wanted to do the larger laps.

Training

Starting to work through ZenLabs’ 5k app. Today, W1D1, 5min walk then 1min run/1.5min walk x8 and then cooldown.

Also picked up Zombies Run again, and again, had problem with the app staying up – which was helped by me installing Greenify to keep some unwanted apps frozen.

Apple can’t count….

My opinion of Apple and its practices has never been high. But this is just stupid.

Type in “1+2+3=” in an iOS 11 device’s calculator app, and you get 6 (correctly), but type it in quickly (as demonstrated in this video) and you get 24.

Sure, it’ll no doubt get patched soon and Apple will twist the incident to prove how fast they can push out updates compared to Android. But the point remains – how did such a bug make it past testing? And what OTHER, similarly stupid bugs that have yet to be detected, also make it past testing. And what if one of those bugs was in something fundamental? Something that breaks the functionality of the device? Something like the 1/1/1970 bug that would brick the device, or even the infamous “effective power” bug that would annoying reboot someone’s phone. Or even the famous crashsafari site that was only meant to crash safari but managed to crash the device too (originally, anyway).

OR, was there even ANY testing?

Zombies Walking

I dug out my old login credentials for Zombies Run and reinstalled to see of they’ve gotten any better since my departure. So far, I’ve been able to do a run (well, walk). With Apollo running without the app crashing on me, which is a definite improvement on what I had previously.

I seemed to have lost my entire base so I’m now having to rebuild from scratch. No matter, I’m replaying Season 1 again right now, anyway.

I also lost my ability to renew my legacy subscription so I’m on standard monthly subscription right now. The S1E1 story has changed slightly with a few additional clips explaining how to play the game and there’s a few new episodes which are showing as I haven’t done yet, which is weird since I’m pretty sure I did all of them.

Finally, got this after my return run.

And just in case you don’t get the references, Sam is talking about the song “500 Miles” by The Proclaimers.
