A few random things…
My NookT received an OTA update to veresion 1.4.2 the other day. This zooted my Android Market access, presumably because it undid the “rooting” that had been done when I’d installed it previously. The good news is the identical rooting procedure using an SD card worked to restore root. The only hiccup was I had to setup my Google Market account credentials again. No big deal ultimately and now I have an updated device.
I finally installed Skype on my 1015PN netbook. This was made particularly easy by the fact that Skype now has a 64-bit install file for debian systems. The only catch is it’s still 32-bit software so the 32-bit libraries must-needs be installed. After that, the only other catch was to add my user account to the video group so that the Skype application could access the webcam. That also finally verified that everything is working properly on my debianized system on the netbook. It’s the first time I’ve needed the webcam!
The NFL combine is on going, and lots of people are talking about RG3. I’ve never seen the guy, but apparently he’s really fast and this makes him extremely valuable and a likely first ballot HOF’er, as well as an awesome passer, dancer, and karaoke singer. His first Oscar is likely being prepared as we speak.
These guys might want to look up Ryan Leaf’s career. Or, for that matter, Gino Torretta, Josh McCown, Vinny Testaverde, Drew Henson and Tim Couch to name a few more. I’m not saying RG3 won’t end up being good in the NFL, but the odds don’t favor it. Just because Cam Newton defied expectations doesn’t mean RG3 will (nor does it mean Newton will continue to be effective). For that matter, Andrew Luck could be a bust as well. Playing on Sunday will do that to a QB.
The boy earned another stripe today in his MA class. He also confessed to not really liking practice, but he likes Martial Arts. Not sure how to square that. But pretty soon, hockey will be over and his weekends will be his again. I’m thinking that will cure quite a few ills.
The lass, on the other hand, has been practicing her developing dance recital routine and she can hardly wait for T-ball to start. She’s still enjoying hockey as well, though I think she’ll enjoy normal weekends again as well.
They’re definitely not 2 peas in a pod, more like same winery but different vintages.
