Then again, I'm also now running a dark theme, so I'm sure that helps. I just couldn't wait to get my hands on jelly bean goodness. With TiBu, wiping/flashing/reconfiguring doesn't take much more than 30 minutes for me...
tibu?

EDIT:
ah yeah i googled it, i used CWM to manage my ROMs on my s2. meh, like i said i've kind of lost interest in some of my techy hobbies lately, i cant even remember the last time i booted up my gaming tower at home . . . actually it was probably the day i set it up, and all i did was play music on it LOL

yeah, i r the manager of my department now.

he wasnt a fit for this company. we need all stars, this dude had taken off 5 days (spread out) in the first 2 months he was working for us. plus his english was AWFUL. like english comprehension was AWFUL, not just his speakin skills.

there was a lot more to it than that, but yeah... deserved it, but still sucks to look someone in the eyes and put them out of a job after the moved across the country for it. (PS, i wasnt the one that hire him)[/quote]

I hear ya. If it wasn't child related, its not a good way to potray yourself. Congrats on mgm't!

Mr. Moneypit. I will be in Memphis in the next couple weeks. Probably the 24th. James and I are planning to slam back some beers and bbq on Beale St. Would be awesome if you made it out to accompany us.

Sorry, Titanium Backup. And it doesn't manage roms. Just apps/data. I use it to back up my apps and batch install them. It'll back up app data too, so I don't lose game saves or configuration settings (on apps like light flow). It also backs up SMS/MMS/Call logs and WiFi network configs. Saves a butt-load of time.

And dude, you're slacking. I can never get away from my tech hobbies...

Not yet. But I got a few months to decide. I'm definitely leaning on a brilliant, deep blue of some kind. After doing some research and some measurements, I'm gonna try to shoehorn the Z32's front suspension in the S13. Pair that with the S14's grippier rear subframe, I should have a pretty solid handling S13.

As for the Z portion. I'm gonna have to source out a totaled Z and rig up a jig to swap the suspension towers into the S13. The track width differences between the S13 and Z32 are so minimal, I don't foresee any fitment issues once I get the metal in place. Then it's just send the car to sandblasting and then paint.

creating a quality department in a multi-million $$ software company is kind of eating up all my time =/ weekend work sessions and 8-7/8 days are a regular until i get my department trained and functioning. I'm just now finally able to work the gym in 2-3 times a week when i can get out of the office by 6.

You gots to search the local college campus for those who are graduating this year. Or at least their career development offices.
That is, unless said hot chicks need experience in IT, too.

Mornin' Ray!

Wife is doing OK,gotta another doctor appointment tomorrow.

As far as the 240 goes, i need to get my BOV on and a little more plumbing done and then i can put the front end back together.After that i just need to install the injectors and get my ECU.

I have been very busy and haven't had a lot of time to spend on the car. :frown:

How is the Miata ?

Glad to hear she is doing well.

Miata has had some progress. The ECU and wideband are in. Just waiting for the beach season to end (my pass for the town beach is on the Miata) and I'll take a weekend to do the manual labor of adding the manifold, turbo, bov, intercooler & other plumbing, and injectors. Not all that far off. It'll probably be ready to go just in time for those cool fall days that turbos seem to love soooo much.

how is it being advertised? I hope its something cheerful and compelling like
" TRY BEFFORE YOU BUY. slightly used jizz and blood stained Simmons Beauty Rest mattress for sale. only one years use. reminds me too much of my ex-wife and how much i hated making the bed. i only sleep on the sofa now thanks to that crotchety b****. must go. make a reasonable offer"

That ought to get you some calls.
