Fitbug

[Vicsetter]

In case anyone is interested, Sainsburys are selling the Fitbug fitness tracker reduced from £50 to £15. It does all the usual measurements, calories use, km walked etc and measure your sleep quality. I am told you can link it to the MyFitnessPal app which allows you to input meals consumed as well. Take a CR2032 which is supposed to last 4-6 months.

They also are selling the HP Pavilion X2 windows 10 tablet with Bluetooth keyboard which turns it into a notebook for £199 (£50 off) which is what I am using now.

Does your Win10 computer integrate properly with your NAS? I have problems with mine (a Netgear ReadyNAS on a Win7Pro network); some software (such as Firefox) treats the NAS as read/write, but Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office (2000 and 2013 both) regard it as read-only. To copy files to it in Explorer, I have to use the "Map Network Drive" tool.

No problems like that, but sometimes my NAS synology diskstation 211j) is not discovered and although you can map a drive to it you can't access it from the network, even when it appears as a network device. Never have got to the bottom of that one. I have a video and music folders mapped for convenience.
