My OnePlus One[^] arrived today and must say I am suitably impressed.... 
The Cyanogen version of Android 4.4.4 is well done, and haven't encountered any problems yet. The OTA update that was released a couple of days ago was also installed and that apparently fixes a number of recent reported bugs.
Committed now, as I cut up my old Sim to convert it into a microsim, so it aint going back in the old phone! Was a bit nervous as never chopped one up before, but it fits just fine. (saved me the hassle of going into town to get a new one from O2)
Well worth the £289 in my views. So those of you who fancy a new phone, I would definitely recommend it, the next pre-order event is 17th November. (I got mine at the last event on the 28th Oct).

And of course Android 5 is due this week apparently.
I assume it will upgrade itself?

They are hoping to have the Cyanogen version of Android 5 within the next couple of months.

|

So the worst of the "new version" bugs should be fixed before you get it? Good!

Oh, no thanks, I just got a Droid Turbo. 
Way better than the Droid Razr I had.

Nice specs on that phone......

Now, to get some relation to those statements we need to know what phone you had before.

It was a stock Google Nexus (the one released after the Google Nexus One).

Neat! I bought a Galaxy S5 a couple months ago, so I'm going to be sticking with that for a while. But this is definitely something I'll keep my eye on.
Snapping those SIMs is a little freaky the first time you do it. Doesn't look like it could possibly work.

The sim was an ancient one, before the days of the micro or nano, so it didn't have any markers or snap points. I physically marked it using a template and then cut it with a pair of scissors. The original SIM didn't fit nicely in the outline of the template, so the scaling must have been slightly out, so positioned it 'reasonably central' and just hoped for the best.

Ooh, you're braver than me. I bought one of those sim punches on amazon. Worked like a charm.

Droid Turbo came with the SIM pre-installed.

DEAR DIARY: DAY 1
All packed for the cruise ship -- all my sexiest dresses and make-up. Really excited.
DEAR DIARY: DAY 2
Entire day at sea, beautiful and saw whales and dolphins.
Met the Captain today -- seems like a very nice man.
DEAR DIARY: DAY 3
At the pool today. Also some shuffle boarding and hit golf balls off the deck.
Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner.
Felt honoured and had a wonderful time. He is very attractive and attentive.
DEAR DIARY:DAY 4
Won $800 in the ship's casino.
Captain asked me to have dinner with him in his own cabin.
Had a luxurious meal complete with caviar and champagne.
He asked me to stay the night but I declined.
Told him I could not be unfaithful to my husband.
DEAR DIARY: DAY 5
Pool again today, got sun burnt, and went inside to drink at piano bar for rest of day.
Captain saw me, bought me several large drinks. He really is charming.
Again asked me to visit his cabin for the night. Again I declined.
He told me if I did not let him have his way with me he would sink the ship.
I was shocked.
DEAR DIARY: DAY 6
Today I saved 1600 lives. Twice.

A few weeks into the boxing gym now, and I'm glad I started. It's a killer workout, and the coach is good about helping me work on stuff. I would like it if we worked on defense more, but it's still been beneficial.
About 5 or 6 months in to the new academy now, and it's also been a very good decision. I'm learning a lot at a pretty good pace.
So with Jeet Kune Do, the new BJJ academy, and now the boxing gym I should be able to perform much better this next year. I'm feeling good about it, and I have till then to get my weight back down to where I want it.

Thanksgiving and new years are the only real obstacle. I don't celebrate christmas, so I'm ok there.

I'd love to find a boxing gym around me. I can't go to a normal gym and just "pick things up and put them down." Feels good, but it just offends my need to be productive.

It was difficult for me to find a boxing gym. I had looked a few times, and they don't do the advertising and whatnot. I just had to ask around with some people I trained with to find the one I am at now.

All the better I imagine. Otherwise you'll have goofballs galore.

There is all sorts of crazy going on where I work at the moment, power shifts in the management, arguments over who is to blame for various things, and now the dumbest request I have ever seen has come my way. I am resisting it, and have support from my manager to continue resisting, but as I said, there is a shift in the balance of power and we are being lined up to catch the sh*t when it hits the fan.
I've been summoned into a meeting tomorrow, one of the managers on my side has just phoned me up and asked me to go, be as polite and helpful as I can.
And to try not to walk out or hit anyone.
The worrying thing is, at the weekend I had a dream that I was in a meeting with some of those who will be present tomorrow. My final line in the dream meeting before storming out was "With all due respect, you can all go and f*** yourselves".
Until developments this morning there was no indication at all that I would be in a meeting with these people anytime soon.

That's generally good advice in a business meeting.

I sometimes think the only reason I've never killed anyone at work is because when you start I don't see how you could stop.

Maybe, but they can only hang you once no matter how many you kill ... so you might as well clean-up properly!
