Introvert Test

How long can you sit in silence in a room with someone else?  I am very happy not to speak to anyone, even in close proximity.

Software Incompatibility

The S4 has been playing up, I looked online and popped into Samsung to work out what happened.  It has something to do with Google App update, but there is no apparent reason.  Samsung guy explained that some new Apps are incompatible with the android version on the phone, and recommended an upgrade.  I will just have to manage the crashes.

New Toshiba

When I was in Hong Kong, I was led to believe Toshiba is no longer in laptop market.  When then I was in Staples, I saw a Toshiba, with fairly good specification, but they only have the displays left.

After much deliberation, I decided to buy it, at a knock down price, obviously.  They both have cosmetic defects, but supposedly functional.  They wiped the computer, cleaned and boxed it for me.

The specification is the same as Lenny, Ci3, 8G, 1T.  I think the Toshiba is better, lighter.  Despite the few cosmetic flaws.  It also feels and looks better than Lenny, except I dislike the mouse track pad.  Staples said even when they are rebranded, they will still sort out the warranty issue.  I will try to spend as much time on it as possible for the next few days to fully check it out!

Lenny's Return

Lenny's display unexplainedly went black again, so I have decided to take it for an exchange.  When after some investigation, they discontinued the product and I had to send everything to return.

I had just about all the packaging with me except the wireless mouse's packaging!  I dived into my recycle bin and manage to find it!

I went to the shop and returned.  There is a no quibble return policy, but I still tell them there is something wrong with it.  I think I made a good decision.  I can survive on my old laptop, Paddy and S4.

Meat-Free Sausages

I got a discounted voucher from Holland and Barrett.  Discount on one item at full price.  It was a difficult challenge!  A lot of items are already on discount.  A lot of full priced item are overpriced.  After 30 minutes at the shop and searching on the internet, I opted for the meat-free cocktail sausages.

The cocktails sausages are quite good, and quite filling.  But I don't understand why they are so calorific.

KODI for DVD

My colleagues are all talking about KODI box.  I am not interested in the "file sharing".  When I was looking for a DVD player in Windows 10 and I found KODI.  It then refreshes my memory about another friend had the entertainment centre installed a few years ago.

I played a DVD on KODI, all good.

Winter Closure

We are looking for things to do in March in mid-week.  Alton Towers, Tatton Park, Go Ape, everything was still in Winter closure!  How inconvenient!
