Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

NOT off to a good start today. Neck hurts worse than it did yesterday, youngest was up at 3am thinking it was time for the day to begin (and still up at 5:15 W when I left the house), and at work I shook my powdered creamer to break up the lumps and the lid popped open and got it all over my desk. :p
 
Sorry for the bad start to the day Anti, it will get better. Dread, I wiped everything and flashed the latest Sourcery this am. For me, clean flashing really takes no longer than dirty flashing. I use Apex or Nova so setting up the home screens is easy. Log back into a couple of different accounts and up and running. When I dirty flash, I risk spending a lot more time if it goes bad.
 
Morning folks! Hope yours gets better Anti - and have someone look at that neck: cervical stuff you do NOT wanna mess with!

Good points Copacetic: but I have a massive number of alarms to set back up, as well as all that sundry stuff (Sounds for each account, bootanimation, replace the 4.2 deskclock with the old 4.1 one). I'd rather dirty flash anyday. Well, I'll try it and if it fails? I'm backed up & ready to wipe if I have to :)
 
You are so right on that point. Setting up sounds and such takes me the most time. And of course then their is all the re-setting up of Sourcery. Now if I could only back up all that....

So far, so good on the new version!
 
Is it just me or do y'all find six emails from Best Buy in your inbox every morning?

I mean, I love BB and all (the store and the Mod), but do I really care if the DVD of Hot Tub Time Machine is on sale?
 
First batch of home-brew is in the fermenting stage (in the Mr. Beer keg) right now - I just hope my lack of patience for things like this doesn't get the best of me but I want it in there for 2-3 weeks then its off to the bottling phase. Best Hanukkah gift ever!

Oh, Chief. Forgot to mention, watched Avatar in all of it's glorious 1080p 3D goodness this weekend. Absolutely amazing!
 
Looks good what are you making lauger, ale, ipa
The Mr. Beer came wit a starter kit of an American Light - here is the flavor profile for it. Pretty excited to try it though - just gotta do the hardest part & wait.

Pale Straw color, mild in flavor and lighter bodied with a crisp, dry finish. A true to character representation of our nation’s favorite beer style. Serve ice cold for a clean, refreshing taste that has passed the test of time.
 
Good luck, Stigy!
I've made dozens of home brew but haven't in a couple years. It can definitely become addicting. :)
That first batch will disappear in no time but you'll learn that the last bottle is always the best :D
 
I'd like to see our carriers do what some of the foreign ones do - replace the no-smoking lights that everyone knows about with a personal devices light.

Attendants are always upset with me after the landing announcement - which I never hear because I travel with my tunes cranked. :p
 
^ Yes! I get "stupidly" nervous around times when I should be turning off my device so I turn down my music or take off my headphones in case I miss the time.
Reminds me of a Simpsons episode when Bart turns on his Gameboy(?) and the plane starts crashing, and he turns it off and it's fine. :rolleyes:
 
I'm the naughty one that turns my phone/ipad on Airplane mode and tucks it in my purse until they say electronics can come out. If it's not sending/receiving any data it can't interfere with anything. And it saves time when I can use it because I don't have to wait for it to boot up.
 
Only once did I have to outright lie - she asked why my device was on....I said I must not have hit 'ok' to shut it off. Whoops!
 

I'm all for allowing most electronics. I agree with no cell phones and devices should be put down during the safety brief, but other than that it's ridiculous.

I'm cognizant of this fact and try to cycle the "No Smoking" sign on departure as soon as possible and wait as long as possible on descent to cycle it again.

I also only put my phone in airplane mode and just turn the screen off for departure, whether flying as a pilot or as a passenger.
