Gym mostly. I try to keep my sessions under 1 hour, so I only do a few exercises (namely: deep back squat, over head press, bench, dead lift and lateral pull) but it seems to work as my working weights are slowly going up.

It is one of my favorite books in its genre. :) I can't really articulate exactly what draws me to it but I do find many of the political and philosophical ideas presented in it fascinating. The series is also worth reading as it expands the lore quite a bit and makes re-reading of the first book even more interesting.

I've seen the idea of marking the date when you received the book before and I know that my grandfather used to also mark the date when he finished the book on the final page. I haven't done this myself.. perhaps I should start.

I understand. I've kept the default settings and my total after 29 days of uptime is 89.7GB up, 94.3 GB down.

Still, I believe even 10kb/s limits can be useful and you can also hibernate the relay (this can be automated) to reduce monthly bandwidth quota.

Could it be an issue of hubski somehow forcing a 4:3 video to be played in 16:9 box?
