My dream is to become and remain smoke free. I'm not there yet,I am still working towards this goal.

Is it your goal to stop smoking too? If so, in this series of blog articles I am going to share my journey with you.

You may be asking why?

This keeps all your data and most settings intact, so you can use your phone as you do it (though it will spend a lot of time 'optimizing apps') or stop and go out :-)
You don't need to unlock the boot loader, so the camera quality stays awesome, and you get all the bundled apps, along with the Google ones.

Use the built in update app to go from 4.4 to 5.

Then use the settings, about, update menu to update to 5.1 latest.

Install Kingroot (I used 4.8) and let it root your phone.

Just got a Raspberry Pi3 and a bluetooth keyboard and annoyed that the media keys for doing things like change the column don't work ?
Just add these to ~/.config/openbox/lxde-pi-rc.xml after all the other <keybind> before the </keyboard>

The following script outputs the percentage of each ink tank from an Epson XP-312 313 or 315 series WiFi enabled printer.

If I'd have given up 4 years ago, then my family tree would have been left looking like this....however by never giving up searching, this week I have made contact with a relative in America. We found 1 joint relative and between our knowledge figured out that we were related. He has given me over 20 more directly related family names & story that need adding to this wall.

Thought it was time I gave you all another update, yes as the title says I am really enjoying my life at the moment.Why?

What an amazing week - I deliberately left it until Sunday to write this since I knew this weekend would be awesome.
