Adobe contacted Envato about changing their name because Flash Den contained the term ‘Flash’ in it, a registered trademark owned by Adobe.

So yeah, I’m kinda pissed off that the big bad corporation is ‘picking’ on the little guy, Envato are helping you and your brand you bloody plebs!

Well, I am down and but not out. I have to find the strength to do this!

The code is not that elegant, but it’s what I could come up with :)

There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices, Go to Control Panel and Other Hardware

To solve it, I went into went Run > services.msc and navigated down to Windows Audio and clicked Start. Might help somebody else out there.

The story is about a girl called Esther moving up to Dublin to study in college. I have never seen the series before tonight as I don’t watch much Irish TV. I am glad I got a link through twitter to finally see this quality show. I haven’t laughed so hard in ages. Check them out.

While walking the dog, I had a light 2 lap jog around the local football pitch and finished off the day with The PIT workout for 30 minutes.

It appears I was trying to celebrate by stuffing my gob with crap as seen in the stats below. No exercise at all done also as I had zero motivation, I know I know.

On the flip side, It really is great that I can see how I’m getting on each day by keeping a log. So here is my summary of week 1

Diet

I have to start eating more meals everyday as this should speed up my metabolism and I HAVE to eat breakfast. I find it a chore when I have to get off my bum and make healthy-ish food when I’m not in the mood. Lesson: Try and plan out each day’s meals in the morning so I have them ready when I’m not!

Now, snacks. Looking back over the week’s snacks I ate, something quite alarming surfaced. You know all those tiny little sweets, chocolate and coke I consumed? Guess what, It adds up! Whenever I have a few indulgences each day, I actually don’t think that’s a bad idea as it keeps my moral up, but they add up to a good few extra calories each week and I can see this is going to be the hardest part of my goal.

First off, I find that when I eat, say a bar of chocolate that It makes my taste buds go into overdrive and I find I want more and more bold foods. So I will be trying to cut down alot on these terrible snacks and will be buying more healthier food like nuts and fruit to stop the cravings.

Exercise

I don’t find working out that hard actually. I did 6 workouts this week and don’t think that’s too bad at all. I find the different things I’m doing great as I’m mixing it up alot and I don’t feel bored. One thing though, I have to push myself more. I do slack a little here and there and take an extra few seconds resting in between sets etc. but overall I’m very happy with where I’m at right now.

Statistics for Today
Water Food Exercised Snacks
1.5 litres consumed. 2 nutrigrain bars, Grilled Chicken Salad. Nout’ :( Breakfast Sandwich / 2 sausages / 2 rashers, 2 glasses of Coke, half a bag of sweets, 1 packet of maltesers.
