Ahhh Git.  What a powerful and mysterious tool to someone who really hasnt read nearly enough about how to do things with it.  The problem that I'm running into is that there seems to be overlap and 'shortcut' commands that are referenced online, but not really described in the 'documentation' I've been using.  By documentation, I mean google-searches.  So its pretty much my own fault that I'm randomly importing stuff into project branches.

I'm trying to get started in Android development, and I thought that building CyanogenMod 7 from source, for my Galaxy S II, would be a good start.  Well, between Google's android development site, and the CM wiki, I got it built and started poking around.

Today I am traveling down a Tennessee interstate highway with my laptop getting an internet connection from my cell phone so I can post this thread. The connection is a tad slow, but a lot better than just using the phone's browser!   Of course, someone else is driving. I'm using a hotspot widget to attach to my laptop. It's called Hotspot Widget. The phone acts as a hotspot for up to 4 conn...

Hey guys! I recently got myself an Android phone and I love it!!  It has access to all kinds of apps, sorta like the iPhone. I like my Android better than I did my iPhone.   Anyway, I am also a diabetic, as those who know me know. I have found an app I like for keeping track of my glucose levels and my insulin use. It also tracks weight, blood pressue, exercise, etc. It very customizable and I just thought you all might like to know about it!  Good health to you all! ...
