Yep, just confirmed Google Movies now also works. Picked a relatively cheap purchase (£2) to test with.

Half Marathon Training - Day 42

#

I’m not sure how the hell my heart monitor registered I was running at 210BPM when I wasn’t even sprinting. For the first 8 or so minutes of this run I was fiddling with my monitor trying to seat it properly as a result of the OTT BPM.

Some of you may have seen this, or a variant of this this, but this video shows all earthquakes around Japan for 2011 by size, depth and location. Watch what happens around March…..

Debian

#

I’ve finished copying my files over onto my Debian installation and I just now need to reconfigure everything. My Fitbit is now syncing in Debian happily. BOINC is installed (but not configured) and I’ve installed LXDE so I can take off KDE.

And DRM finally works!

Half Marathon Training - Day 40

Ōkami

#

Whilst browsing Pinterest, I found this. It’s a Blender rendering of Amaterasu from the game Ōkami. With the introduction of the Freestyle rendering in Blender, I suspect we’ll see similar artwork explode onto the CG scene pretty soon.

Debian

#

I managed to install Debian again today. This time I used my DVDs which meant I didn’t actually have to download anything off the repositories which could run into the problems mentioned in my previous posts here and here.

And, I was able to install extra software in the same way, including KDE, and again, without having to download from repos. Finally, I used netmirror-apt to update my sources list with the fastest repositories to me.

I still need to copy across my files, and run some configuration, but I should be back onto Debian within the next week or so.

I’m back on Fedora at the moment, with my Debian install backed up as a CloneZilla image.

Running Thoughts

#

Couple of thoughts I have on running training. These are totally my opinion and do not reflect any training plan

  1. Start with a small lap near your home and jog that to get used to the feeling. If you have a public park nearby, use that.
  2. Plan a route using Google Maps or similar, try to find a route that is 1 KM or 1 mile. It helps you with distance training when you know how many laps you have to do.
  3. If you have a specific distance in mind (e.g. 5K, 10K), then try to plan that as well. Remember that a small lap can double-up - so a 10K can be two laps of a 5K route.
  4. Try not to include any hills to begin with -- find a flat route so you are comfortable with the distance before introducing hills. Then, keep working the hills until you are comfortable with it, then work it up to a steeper hill, and try to match your time from the flat route. Then, take up the distance a notch and revert to flat terrain and repeat. e.g.: 3K flat, 5K flat, 5K light hills, 5K steep hills, 10K flat, 10K light hills, 10K steep hills, 20K flat, etc.
  5. Some people find monotony counter-productive. I am one of those. Running laps around the same area repeatedly gets pretty boring, especially when your lap is a small 1KM. If you're like me, then run on the pavement/sidewalk, and plan your running route in advance. Use this opportunity to explore your area, you may find places you never knew existed.

Zombies, Run! 2 - Base Building

Okay, I have built all my buildings up to L3 and finally managed to fill in some gaps in my info thanks to the latest update to the app. So my Base Building FAQ is pretty much complete now. Here’s the link:
