Finished! Two Weeks of Sleep Wrap Up

Robert Wenger — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 00:00:15 +0000

I’ve spent the last two weeks trying to get my sleep schedule normalized, and it’s worked as well as I think I could expect. I’ve denoted the first week as I’ve already posted that data, and I’ve included the second week’s data too. Without further ado, here’s the data: Week 1 Which Night Sleep Time [...]

I finally have a smartphone! I upgraded my plan and bought a Droid RAZR MAXX from Verizon a week or two ago, and my face has been basking in the glow of its screen ever since. I previously had a LG Cosmos, and before that phone I had a LG TracFone. Talk about an upgrade. [...]

I’m back… I think.

Have you ever right-clicked on a file to send it somewhere, just to find that Windows won’t send it to your preferred destination via the Send to menu? I encountered that problem a little while ago, and I decided to figure out how to fix it. If you find yourself moving files to the same [...]
