Spinervals 16.0

Spinervals 16.0 – Aero Base Builder I.

I did about 45 of the 80 minute DVD. My knee was starting to get a tiny twinge in it and my quads were pretty fatigued. Likely due to my lack of stretching before the workout. I could have finished but decided to live to fight another day.

I like this workout. It’s not too intense as its goal is increasing aerobic function, but I can tell it’ll help my legs too. Once I get disciplined to riding every day I can see this as a decent recovery or “Don’t feel like getting my butt kicked today” ride.

Today I started using Spinervals on my cycle trainer.
I did Spinervals 1.0 “No Slackers Allowed” and it kicked my butt. It didn’t kick my butt fitness wise, just in the legs department. I ended up halving some of the sets because I wanted to be able to finish the DVD.

It’s been a while since my legs were jello after a ride. Felt good.

Fix Auto Update Problem

Go here: http://www.rootninja.com/wordpress-automatic-updates-broken-asks-for-connection-information-fixed/

Excerpt:
The real problem is a php function called getmyuid() which “Gets PHP script owner’s UID”. Ok, so permissions and ownership may still be an issue for you, and you may not even have the right temp directory set up that file.php is looking for, but if everything else is correct, go edit wp-admin/includes/file.php and change the getmyuid() call to posix_getuid() instead. You can expect to have access to the functions, but to avoid any warnings or errors it checks if the functions are callable first, so you may as well change that one too. See below for the detailed change:

function get_filesystem_method($args = array()) {
$method = false;
if( function_exists(‘posix_getuid’) && function_exists(‘fileowner’) ){
$temp_file = wp_tempnam();
if ( posix_getuid() == fileowner($temp_file) )
$method = ‘direct’;

OSX Login Loop

I installed the latest Java update for my Mac Mini this morning. I rebooted just because I hadn’t in a while. Upon restarting it wouldn’t get past the login screen, even if I gave it the right password. Frustrating.

Some google work found that I need to delete the files contained in: /Library/Caches/

Another reboot and I was able to log in again. All is good.

New Jersey Sucks

As if New Jersey needed another reason to suck…

New Jersey scraps idea to host Formula One race in 2012. An event that would bring in millions of revenue.
I guess they’d rather continue to be known as America’s armpit.

Comment of the Day

As seen on a Jalopnik.com post about the Koenigsegg dihedral synchro-helix door mechanism shortcomings.

“Multiple Choice.
If I had a Koenigsegg, the door styling would not bother me because:
A) I would never want to get out of it
B) I’m rich enough to replace dinged doors
C) I will be exiting the car via the Jaws of Life.”

I would personally go with D) All of the above.

Hop Garden

On Friday I planted my Hop Garden.
Jim lent me space to plant a few rhizomes. Some Cascade and some Willamette.
They won’t be very fruitful this year but next year I should have plenty of hops for Brewing!

Sick of Twitter

ancker — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:21:48 +0000

I’m getting sick of hearing about Twitter. Seriously every show has something about Twitter now days.
Everything live has people Twittering, everything not-live seems to have someone talking about it.
Even CNN had some contest with Ashton Kutcher. Even the magazines in the checkout lane at Meijer had a headline about which celebrity Twittered what..

I realize Twitter is “cool” nowadays, but I’m sick of the media shoving it down our faces like the hot new thing. It’s been around forever, but everyone tries to act like they just discovered it and are making it popular. Get over yourself.
