Just think how bleak and boring your life would be, if your vocation were to operate a bottle-top stamping machine.

I've kept myself amused in a few boring, repetitive jobs by solving how to automate them, in my mind, while doing them. It's never been as ugly as bottle-top stamping, but attractive enough things like data capture and editing, or tracing cable pairs.

I was wondering where my scroller went when I was out. But, you left out the details of your last meal, and how you slept.
thanks for sharing, Bill

I had quite a frustrating sleep, fill with dreams of testing my service and not being able to make it fail gracefully, or fail at all.
Thanks for asking, Bill.

...and it's looking good so far.
My Nexus 7 (that 5.0.2 converted into a doorstop until I downgraded the OS to 4.4 is now looking good - smooth and running Lollipop 5.1!
If you have a similar problem (and I know others do) you can download the 5.1 image direct from Google and install it manually, rather than waiting weeks for Google to get round to pushing it to your device. This time, I made notes on what to do, and have written them up as a tip: Installing Android 5.1 directly on your Nexus 7 2012 Wifi[^]

That's all well and good, but I'm not up for not being able to find any settings for a few weeks.

Interesting. My phone downloaded lollipop a few weeks ago, but I haven't installed yet. I don't want to fubar my phone. Maybe I'll let it have the reigns and upgrade. I really don't have the time or inclination to fuss with any issues that might come up though.

lollipop is of no good. It's a buggy one. After installing, all I found was a slight noticeable difference in the UI and lot many apps had issues in running.

Nice to hear, OG! I held back from 5.0.x because of your original post.

So far, 5.1 seems a lot better than 5.0.2 - I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes over the weekend.
