Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Better that than Piano Man, which I'm suffering from at the moment.

You don't want to come to Philadelphia right now, it's been snowing, raining and then magically right now it's 50 degrees. Tomorrow is going to be ten degrees.

Today I got a temp crown installed at the dentist and they found a cavity in another tooth, which will be filled when they do the final insert for the crown.

I am at work on my day off because of snow days last week (one of which entailed me biking into work because I didn't get the office closed message), to deal with time critical stuff.

...but only for half a day, before leaving early to drive my wife to the airport so she can ditch shiddy New England weather for a month in Mexico. This is the soon to be ex-wife who announced that we were splitting up a few weeks ago, right before Christmas, a shocker on my end.

Tonight, yes, there will be drinking...

I am looking to get a Nexus 5 in the next few weeks. Will be my first android phone. So while I know what rooting a phone is, the rest is a mystery. How did any of that help you?

Well, cataclysm is just 4.4.2 with an ass load of added features and nothing removed. The kernel is letting me over/undervolt as well as under/overvolt and allows things like otg/fast charging. I'm getting insane battery life I plug my phone in at midnight and its still and 45 percent.

Phone stuffs.

Today some dude from ATL found me on the Buffalo CL and wants to buy my Leader. I did some googling and found out a dude with his name does indeed live in the greater Atlanta area, and it's not a common name. He's not offering to overpay - which is usually a scam giveaway - and has a verified paypal account.

Still I'm worried I'm about to get scammed if I agree.

Thoughts?

As long as he pays up front via PayPal, you shouldn't worry.

If you want a little added security, agree to list the bike on eBay and have him buy it from there. You'll have to pay a percentage of the sale value in fees but you'll be protected by eBay's seller guidelines.
