I was looking to upgrade my rooted Android from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 when I ran into an interesting error:
"/system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk" has unexpected contents That made sense – I needed to do some dev work with the old version of the Browser app, so I backed up those files and installed Browser.apk. So I popped into adb shell to restore the files. Without thinking, I deleted the files. Oops!
Well, everything can be recovered, right?
I decided to read a book not related to programming at all, just to help get some outside perspective. I decided to read about sales.

The book talks about the four (and only four) types of salespeople: The Performer, The Professional, The Caregiver, and The Searcher.

I want to start this blog off with a topic that I hold really dear to me. I listen to music for most of my waking hours. Especially since I’m working from home now, I need something going on in the background. So I listen to Spotify for basically the entire time.
I was listening to the playing “Cozy Evening” when I caught a Craig Cardiff song – Dirty Old Town.
