I have Tasker installed which is similar. Don't REALLY use it though. Both are very powerful apps if you put some work into setting them up.

wyndslash · January 6th, 2013, 08:32 PM

hmmm

breadnatty08 · January 6th, 2013, 08:37 PM

Wynd, if you haven't seen it, we have a whole sub-forum for Tasker for any support you may need for it:
Tasker - Android Forums

wyndslash · January 6th, 2013, 08:40 PM

i know. i saw it before. i'll think about it. they all get rather confusing after a while.

i enjoy seeing the reviews for the new apps. I'm really hoping that there will be an android version for Day One.

Liamo_210 · January 7th, 2013, 05:49 AM

Morning all. In work for the first time since Christmas.

breadnatty08 · January 7th, 2013, 06:01 AM

Wynd, Diaro seems to be comparable to Day One. It's free too!

wyndslash · January 7th, 2013, 07:07 AM

Hey liam

So I read, dread. But day one looks so good. I'm a sucker for good looking apps

breadnatty08 · January 7th, 2013, 07:24 AM

Whelp, gonna have to buy an iPhone!

Or ya could try emailing the dev and see if they're working on an Android app?

wyndslash · January 7th, 2013, 08:40 AM

i read somewhere that the devs are planning to release an android version. i just don't know when that will be.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Good as I need to make money but bad as I am still in holiday mode.

breadnatty08 · January 7th, 2013, 10:19 AM

Ugh, the Inauguration hating begins!

Historic inauguration on MLK holiday means federal workers lose a quadrennial holiday - The Washington Post
Myself, I am not looking forward to it. Insane amounts of travelers will be in the city and apparently they need to dine out to eat.

Hoping it won't be as crazy as 09 was. I still have nightmares about that weekend!

Liamo_210 · January 7th, 2013, 10:40 AM

But you would probably make a lot of money.

breadnatty08 · January 7th, 2013, 10:47 AM

I don't personally; not an owner. Just a lowly salaried monkey who will be living there that weekend. Fortunately it's on a Monday and not a Tuesday like '09. Should mean a shorter "weekend" of sorts.

Liamo_210 · January 7th, 2013, 10:52 AM

Well would you not make a lot from tips?

breadnatty08 · January 7th, 2013, 10:56 AM

Salaried folks don't make tips.

Hourlies all get a part (it's all pooled). For the most part it's nearly another extra $1/hr.

Isn't the inauguration of an incumbent usually low key? It's not like anything has changed.

It's when Barack Obama officially beings his second term as president, and retakes the presidential oath.

Liamo_210 · January 7th, 2013, 11:23 AM

Ah OK. Its weird that he has to retake his oath.

I'm seriously hoping for that, but DC residents are in love with him. He got ~94% of the vote of DC voters.

Liamo_210 · January 7th, 2013, 11:38 AM

Your in for a long night so.

Yep. I remember the fear we had the morning of last time. It was super quiet all morning and then when 12 hit when folks were getting off the Metro right in front of the restaurant we just dug in and, well, panicked!

lunatic59 · January 7th, 2013, 11:43 AM

Well, they voted for Marion Barry, too ... twice.

Put a picture of Romney in your window with a sign offering discounts to Republicans.

Liamo_210 · January 7th, 2013, 11:55 AM

That will scare them right off.

breadnatty08 · January 7th, 2013, 11:55 AM

If both the wife and I didn't have to work like dogs that weekend, we'd take a vacation and rent our apartment out for some insane amount!

Liamo_210 · January 7th, 2013, 02:26 PM

Man the day of work was real hard. I haven't got back into the swing of things yet

wyndslash · January 7th, 2013, 06:04 PM

this is strange. i set my data cycle so my device can monitor my mobile data usage, but whenever i go to check on it, it always adjusts itself (the line, i mean). i set the cycle to start at dec. 19 and set limits, but after a few days, it's always moving forward. how can i be informed when i reach my limit if it keeps on moving?

lunatic59 · January 7th, 2013, 07:12 PM

What app are you using for that wynd?

wyndslash · January 7th, 2013, 07:43 PM

I'm not using any. I'm using the data usage baked into the settings

lunatic59 · January 7th, 2013, 08:03 PM

Tap on Data usage cycle above the chart and set your begin date. I think that changes it to a fixed point.

wyndslash · January 7th, 2013, 08:07 PM

I already set it to December 19 before

lunatic59 · January 7th, 2013, 08:27 PM

Did you click on change cycle date? Mine looks like it measures every month.

wyndslash · January 7th, 2013, 08:31 PM

Yes. I did that for last month

lunatic59 · January 7th, 2013, 08:33 PM

Ooops, forgot the screenshot

Not sure what else there is to set. I'll check tomorrow to see if it advances a day or stays on the first.

wyndslash · January 7th, 2013, 08:51 PM

Ok thanks

Liamo_210 · January 8th, 2013, 02:37 AM

Mine always slowly advance as well.

breadnatty08 · January 8th, 2013, 06:24 AM

Holy hell, this tv is ridiculously gorgeous!

Samsung unveils amazing 85-inch 4K TV with 'floating' design | The Verge

lunatic59 · January 8th, 2013, 06:40 AM

Just checked and my data use settings are still set the way they were yesterday.

wyndslash · January 8th, 2013, 08:37 AM

well, this is frustrating. wait a few more days and see

breadnatty08 · January 8th, 2013, 08:49 AM

I'm with Chavez, the Xperia Z really is one sexy beast.

Would love too try a Sony phone, but who knows what carriers will pick it up.

Good morning, evening etc. I just read in the Galaxy Tab 2 forum that Jelly Bean has now arrived in the US OTA. I'm going to wait a few days to see what those who have upgraded say about it.

Liamo_210 · January 8th, 2013, 01:37 PM

Ye the experia z looks interestsing

Have Samsung had there key note yet?

breadnatty08 · January 8th, 2013, 01:45 PM

Doubt Samsung will announce any phones. Likely just TVs (which they've done already). The Galaxy series has always been separate in announcements.

Liamo_210 · January 8th, 2013, 01:49 PM

They might officaly announce Tizen Interesting to see what it will be like.

breadnatty08 · January 8th, 2013, 01:54 PM

Ah, you're right! Yeah, should be interesting. Not sure how much I'd like to change platforms at this point though.

Liamo_210 · January 8th, 2013, 02:16 PM

I'm not planning to ever change platform but I still want to see if Samsung have just made another bad is or If it could stand up to the competition.
