The Tablet Tavern

Went out to dinner with my folks and wife to the restaurant I work for. It was fantastic! :)
We'd been for brunch and it was fine, but this was great. I got the boring roast chicken, but it was THE best chicken I've ever had. They hooked us up to with some free champagne, and since I am good friends with one of their pastry cooks he sent out a nice sampler of things. Overall, a wonderful night. :D

I'm the same, have to have SD storage or at least enough internal storage for my music, video clips, photos, podcasts, mapping data, documents, etc. In fact I was looking at an Oppo Find 5 phone the other day, very nice phone, however no SD and only 16GB internal, 10GB usable. So that wasn't an option for me. Using the "cloud" not going to happen, mainly because I'm not in the USA and I don't have unlimited internet.

Even in the USA we don't have unlimited anymore. Once one carrier eliminates unlimited they all follow, they just wait long enough to skirt the collusion laws.

Then try going outside of the city, Verizon manages a decent connection through the last town to my farm where no one else even gets a signal but still in the valley I loose my connection.

Really all I need is something like rsync that I can run on my phone and connect to a share on my local network then sync the changes. I could even set up my own vpn to connect if needed.

My bigest issues are 1. lack of storage and 2. syncing through someone else's tool. Google calendar is the perfect example, I have been waiting years hoping they will implement features like categories that I was using in 1998.
 
Almost. my parents are coming in because my wife has to work the day after Christmas so it screws up traveling plans for us so we'll have our Christmas dinner tonight.

Funnily enough Google Calendar is about the only cloud service I use actually. Which I use for my teaching timetable in school. It hardly uses any data, is available off-line on my phone, and I can see it and make changes on my laptops as well. It's just convenience really. I've only got one category, English lessons....LOL.
 
Our bed, while it's a piece of home, kinda sucks. :rolleyes:
I look forward to sleeping in nicer hotels cause their beds are great! And king size is a nice luxury every so often. :)
 
I got a totally awesome T shirt for Christmas! :D
