Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh my god. I wish the CI app came in Android form. It's so nifty! I see what you're saying about the timers, -t. And, hell, not having to log in every time (I hate that about the website) is golden.

It's weird, but I'm making grabby hands at something I already have.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Flash doesn't work on my lynx browser, either!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wahoo! Good news, Maria!

I just got a new firmware flash on my tablet, and an update to Honeycomb.2. All I've noticed so far is a Swype update, but it's one long in the coming--the ability to edit the custom dictionary. What the fuck took them so long? I entered some random stuff in there by mistake, and it itches to see it suggested. Gone now! I cleaned that sucker up.

I need to poke around and see what else they changed/fixed/added.

Anyone have a comparison between Springpad and Evernote?

I use both, but I definitely use Evernote more. I use Springpad for shopping/buying/product kinds of things.

Ooh, that's perfect, thanks. Just what I needed.

Man, this is a solution in search of a problem. Or, as the page notes, a joke. But, because geeks are geeks, it's a working implementation of a joke.

And, going for the triple...

If I want to root a device, obviously I backup first. But when I go to the Cyanogen Mod page on rooting the G2 (since that's what I'm considering installing), its first recommendation for a backup application is Titanium. Which only runs on rooted devices.

Then it suggests Astro. Which I have, and I've used to backup my phone, but I'm leery of thinking it's a sufficient backup, just because I don't trust that bit of the entry anymore because of the Titanium mislead. Is Astro able to do a sufficient backup?

Gris, what do you use for backup before you root? Anyone? Bueller?
