I went into town today and bought a 70e Antec Neo Eco 620C 620W power supply for my PC. Not too shabby considering a 600W Corsair is about that online with tax and postage. So far it seems to be keeping it stable under fairly high load (including another build of CM7 n85+) for 4 hours, so hopefully that was the cause of the crashes. I noticed this new one has 48A on the 12V rail whereas my old 550W one had 20A or something stupidly low.

I made the mistake of trying the Yum Upgrade method of moving my rock-solid F13 install to F14 before they end-of-life’d it. Well that resulted in a machine that would constantly reboot at the “Loading operating system….” bit just before Grub. I couldn’t fix it no matter how many times I tried variations of “grub-install /dev/sda”. So I decided I might as well bite the bullet and do a fresh install of Fedora 15.

What is it with commercial apps for Android that just don’t work?! First off you’ve got Plex whose developers just say “its a Cyanogenmod7 problem, get them to fix it”, and now Nessus for Android logs in but doesn’t actually do anything – no scans or reports are displayed! I also found that the version of iGo 8.4.2 for Android that I was using has what I can only assume is a broken skin, as the co-ordinate input method is just not there.

I noticed that I had Google Books and Google Shopper in my Android Market account as “installed” however I guess that was from when I was running Froyo with my UK SIM card, as it won’t let me re-install it on Gingerbread with my French SIM. So I stuck my UK SIM in and lo, I saw Shopper listed in Market on the phone! So I installed it and it works fine.

I’m typing this using the new SwiftKey beta. I quite like the auto-completion and correction but the feature into like best is that you can enter numbers and symbols by just long-pressing the keys instead of having to switch mode. I also upgraded to Cyanogenmod nightly 80, which seems OK so far. I finally figured out how to not show posts from Facebook friends who just seem to post the same old drivel or use FB entirely to advertise their business – hover over their post until the X appears on the right, click that and select “hide posts from…”
