Cell Phones and Tablets / Must Have Apps
« on: August 15, 2012, 06:17:39 AM »
Not ones that are cute or fuzzy, but applications that you seamlessly use all the time, almost to the point of the app seeming like part of the phones stock features.
Mint.com comes to mind. I bring it up all the time like it's a natural part of my phone .I only use about 25% of it's features and it's amazing. Tracks three different bank accounts for me which consist of 6 different checking/savings and two insurance. All that and like I said - I only use about 25% of what it can do.
*Now that I posted that I'm looking on the website and see I can do some stuff online that I wanted done. Pretty amazing. I may be up to 30% use now

Cell Phones and Tablets / Android Power Saver
« on: August 14, 2012, 06:56:22 AM »
I started off with some power savers, but none of them really gave me the super saving that I was looking for.
I did get Juice Defender (paid) and it worked AWESOME... until ICS. I started looking at what battery % my apps were using and Juice Defender was MUCH more demanding then I thought it should be. There's a lot of talk about it with ICS, most are saying that JD has to be fixed.
The settings > battery saving in ICS is pretty decent. I ran it for a while and was getting more time out of my battery. I was still looking for something better though....
Right now I'm using Green Power and I'd say it's just about perfect for my use.
Green Power can shut down the data ports (3G/4G/WiFi) when the screen is off, then turn them back on when the screen is on. This works pretty awesome. It can also be setup to periodically activate WiFi or Data every XX hours and remain on for XX time. This is good for syncing up accounts and such. And of course it can be set to NOT turn off if data is being transferred. That way it won't shut off after 30 seconds in the middle of updates.
Of all the different power saving apps I've run for my phone, my current is Green Power and I'm pretty happy with it. Maybe in a few weeks it'll be something else LOL, but for now it's GP for me.

Anyways, new forum to abuse. Phones, Apps, etc... Have fun with it.

Jokes! / Golf Accident
« on: July 09, 2012, 10:34:19 AM »
A Golfer accidentally overturned his cart.
Elizabeth, a "beautiful" real golfer who lived in a villa on the golf course heard the noise and yelled over to him.
"Hey, are you okay, what's your name?"
"Willis," he replied.
"Willis forget your troubles. Come to my villa, rest up and I'll help you get the cart up later."
"That's mighty nice of you," Willis answered, "but I don't think my wife would like it."
"Aw come on," Elizabeth insisted. She was very pretty and persuasive.
"Well okay," Willis finally agreed, and added, "but my wife won't like it."
After a hearty drink AND sexy driving and putting lessons, Willis thanked his host.
"I feel a lot better now, but I know my wife is going to be real upset."
"Don't be foolish!" Elizabeth said with a smile , she wont know any thing. By the way, where is she?"
"Under the cart!"

Off Topic / Reminded of a friend(?) from a while back...
« on: June 25, 2012, 08:50:45 AM »
I was 21 and my girlfriend was 19. We'd been dating for a few months and I'd just started working at an auto shop.
This new guy just comes out of nowhere and fills out an application. He seems like a pretty nice guy, his name is Joseph.
Turns out he doesn't have any money, and can't afford a place to stay. He's sleeping in his car.
My gf agrees to let him stay with us until he can get a place of his own, but no more then a couple months. I agree, Joseph is a decent guy. We have beers, play some video games, watch some football.
One day at work, Joseph was grinding a rusted bolt off a shock and got a metal fragment in his eye. He wasn't wearing goggles. He had to wear this gauze patch and put medicine in his eye for like a month.
A couple months later I'm talking to the gf about asking Joseph to look for his own place. I was seriously considering asking her to marry me, and didn't want to start things off with a roommate.
She breaks down crying and tells me shes pregnant. I tell her it's alright, I was planning on asking her to marry me anyways, this is great news.
She won't stop crying and finally admits the baby isn't mine. I felt crushed. She said that one day while she was helping Joseph change the cotton compress from his accident, they got really close.... well too close. Now she's not ready to marry me knowing that the child isn't mine!
I raged. Joseph was still at work and I was fuming the whole afternoon. I take all Josephs stuff and put it in the yard. I'm considering what jail will be like after I wreck this guy. When I hear his car pull up I get ready at the door. As soon as the door opens I slug him in the face. He stumbles back but recovers pretty quick. I swing again but he ducks and gets me in the ribs. I'm completely raging now. I get two quick jabs in and he falls back again. I turn around to get my baseball bat that I keep near the door and Joseph runs to his car. He blazes out of there without his stuff.
I haven't seen him or heard from him since.
My friend asked me why I'd been down.
I told him I remembered this story.
I told him if it hand't been for cotton-eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did he come from, where did you go...
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
Just try to get that out of your head... you'll be humming that well into this week.
Your welcome

Games & Game Systems / Skyrim
« on: June 11, 2012, 08:07:43 AM »
My son has been playing this. I have no knowledge of game play at all... I've watched him play a bit and that's about it.
He saw something about crafting super high number weapons and armor and wanted help with it. So we followed some dude's guide for making the best armor. Turns out that there's another glitch you can use, which we did, and in combination with the first dude's guide we crafted armor and weapons that are above anything we could find online LOL.
It's funny to watch my son taking notes during a game. He writes down ingredients and where they can be found, order of doing things to maximize results, etc....
Anyways, if you play you know that Deidric (sp?) bows and armor. His bow without any enhancements does 200 damage. As soon as he has a full set of +40 Dmg bow stuff he should be kicking it.
Not sure what his armor turned out to be, if anyone's interested I could post up everything and how to do it.

Off Topic / Another "Never Forget"

Even though some people chose to ignore D-Day.
Imagine what that must have been like. Over 9000 allied soldiers killed or wounded in a single day. I support our military and am glad that I served in a "modern" age of warfare.

« on: May 24, 2012, 05:37:44 AM »
Had an interesting discussion with my son last night.
It is based on the belief that there IS extraterrestrial life outside our solar system, and it is advanced to the point that interstellar travel is possible.
What would an advanced race think if they saw us? What if they could watch the abridged version of say... 4000 years, what would their opinion of the human race be?
Imagine yourself looking at the history of mankind, what would your thoughts be on human beings?
