Fenix E01 vs Fenix E05 – review

Posted by Howard Yeend in (misc) on November 16, 2011

This is a Fenix E05 and E01 comparison and review. They are both AAA flashlights from Fenix and come in a range of colours.

I’m writing this post for people who don’t want to spend a lot on a flashlight, but want something of good quality. The E01 you can get for around £12, the E05 for £18.

If you’re used to the slightly cheaper (£7-£11) and much more popular Maglite solitaire, then be prepared for a whole other level of quality with Fenix.

30 Day Challenge List

Posted by Howard Yeend in (misc), Philosophy, Productivity on August 2, 2011

Try something new for 30 days.

It’s a simple enough concept, but it is just enough to give your life a breath of fresh air, to get you out of a rut, to re-invigorate. I was inspired by Matt Cutt’s TED talk on this topic – it’s worth taking three and a half minutes and watching the video.

With that philosophy in mind, I’m trying to put together a nice list of 30 day challenges to inspire you.

To my mind, there are two ways to approach the 30 day challenge – habits, and achievements:

Habits: Try something new and do it every day for 30 days
Achievements: Aim to have completed something by the end of the 30 days

As a quick example, Read the rest of this entry »

Interneterata

Posted by Howard Yeend in (misc) on March 13, 2008

Go placidly amid the spam and waste,
and remember what peace there may be in a decent firewall.
As far as possible without surrender
never run untrusted executables.
Post your comments quickly but clearly;
and read the others,
EVEN THE ONES IN CAPS, and the ignorant;
we too were noobs once

Subhumans Lyrics – From the Cradle To The Grave

Posted by Howard Yeend in (misc) on March 1, 2008

Well they took you from your mother’s womb and put you in a school
Told you how to run your life by following the rules
Told you not to pick your nose or disrespect the queen
Scrub your teeth three times a day keep mind and body clean Read the rest of this entry »
