Slashdot Cyanogenmod 10.1 After owning my N1 for a few weeks I’d rooted it amd installed Cyanogenmod. I loved what it allowed me to do with my phone, beyond the generic Android OS. By N1 has been boxed up for a couple of months… well actually used as a dev test phone for a work app, and I’m more than happy with 4.2.2 on the N4 and N7. If I…

[rating:4] It does what it says on the tin 🙂 Wanna fantasise about taking down a local level 7 portal? This wonderful page, allows you to quantify the dream and help make it a reality. Plug in the resonator stats of a given portal, either individually, or using pre configured options, which are based on level maximums, or max levels across all resonators. i.e. 1 player level 6, all resos…

Don’t know if you noticed but I like games 😉 One other ability I’ve been blessed with is a short attention span and to be guaranteed to be wow’d by the next pastime I’ve taken up… this weeks fascination in certainly Ingress. Taking advantage of the daylight saving adjustment and dragging my usually lethargic arse out of bed, to place down some resonators at a local Anglican,dual portal, Church. Puling…

[rating:4] A kindly gent passed on to me an Ingress invite last night 🙂 I’m really stoked about it, and have had fun today hacking a few portals. I still think Ingress is one big fact finding tool for Google, although I’m just a tiny fish in a global pond, I’m still a little cautious… crazy eh? Ingress is an augmented reality massively multiplayer online video game created by NianticLabs@Google,…
[rating:3.5] The title that’s taking up the bulk of my play time this weekend is quite a novelty, Solar 2. I’d never heard of the prequel, and only stumbled across this game by accident. I wish I had it last week for beach time. This game is based on physics, first you begin as a lump of rock floating in space, an asteroid. By slamming into surrounding rocks your rock…

Then I hear yeaterday that Google Reader is being pulled, today I can’t find ad blocking programs on Play! I guess it makes sense, adverts are Googles income, but this is another push for me to change OS, ironically on my Google Nexus devices. I’m thinking that the removal of Google Reader is associated with news papers being upset at RSS feeds stealing their content, maybe to do with Twitter…

ok I’m giddy, Ubuntu 13.04 is currently installing on my Nexus 7 🙂 Easy to follow guide here: Nexus7 Installation I’ve been using Linux, mainly Ubuntu, on desktops from 2004, & my only regret is that I didn’t start using it earlier. & now I get it on my tablet, bonus! I’ll llook to write up what I think of it as time goes by, but I’m already searching for…

wow eye candy, coming from a Nezus 1, I never knew a mobile phone was capable of such lucious graphics. Great review of how inbed the pay-per-play regime is here: Pocket Gamer Real Racing 3 Fun, in little bursts, and another forward thnking marketing model from EA… thinking I read a post somewhere this week, that stated EA are to use micro transactions in all of their upcoming titles, like…

Saving this as I know I”ll need to refer to the mount instructions You are unable to just plug in your Nexus 4 in Linux but it is very easy to mount and unmount to move data to/from your sdcard. This is one option that will allow you to utilize Nautilis (or any other file browser) to copy files to/from your Nexus 4. This is written for Ubuntu, but should…

After the 4.2.2 update Swype no longer enters spaces between words in Chrome. Not a game spoiler, Google still searches for what I enter, it’s just not easy to read.

Mainly due maxing out the WordPress engine with auto posts & it has taken a while to clear all of the detritus. But it’s gone, & I hope to record what’s on my mind & what I’m playing with more often. I’ve a couple of new toys; finally a decent PC gaming rig, AMD 64 8 core… thinking I maybe should have gone for a P7 for better Ubuntu compatability.…
