How to use Android to quit smoking



No Smoking
"Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times." -Mark Twain
Can you relate? If one of your New Year's resolutions for 2012 is to quit smoking for good, here are a few Android apps that might help:

1. QuitNow!
QuitNow! is a smoking cessation app that can help you track how long since you quit, how much money you've saved, and even the positive impact quitting has had on your health. QuitNow! has achievement badges as well, so you can try to make quitting sort of fun.

2. Quit Smoking
Quit Smoking is a widget app that helps you gradually cut down on how much you smoke until you quit. When you get the urge to smoke, you hit the red "smoke" button. The app then asks you what your urge and stress level are, asks if you can wait, and logs the event. It also tracks your daily smoking quota. It's a different approach than QuitNow! and it might work better for those who can't quit cold turkey.

3. Smoke Control
Smoke Control is another app for those who don't want to quit cold turkey. It helps you control your smoking by letting you know when you can have your next one.

APN settings: MTN Uganda

For any of you who travel in the region and use the mobile phone as the primary mode of getting online, getting the settings for a data connection is seriously frustrating. More so since my phone (an android) doesn't for some reason allow me to save the settings from the phone company and I have to manually input them. Thanks to Google (hat tip: ICTD chick ) and some serious aggro, I was able to get the most updated  settings so here goes:- MTN, Uganda: Access point name: MTN APN: MTNDATA Proxy: (blank) Port: (blank) Username: (blank) Password: (blank) Server: (blank) MMSC: (blank) MMS Proxy: 10.120.0.138 MMS Port: (blank) MCC: 641 MNC: 10 APN type: (blank)

  William Ruto: The Stone that was rejected turned Chief Cornerstone! By Patrick Katagata @ KatagataJr Irish rugby Union player, Dan Sheehan’s famous quote, “Great people build monuments from stones critics throw at them” might be said of Kenya’s former(now) agile Deputy President, William Ruto, after sailing against the turbulent course, to become Kenya’s fifth President! I have deep respect for Former President Uhuru Kenyatta in manifold respects, but not for his open endorsement/campaigning for Mr. Raila Odinga, as his successor. For all his considerations, he underestimated the effect of his choice for Raila, while ditching Ruto, who torched for him light at his darkest, to not only tantamount to betrayal, but also taste foul of Kenyatta’s real agenda—personal, or for a given coterie— vis-à-vis majority Kenyans! He assumed that everyone believed in his leadership and would, therefore, follow his choice. It is bound to be counterproductive! Deputy President William Ruto (then) re

Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic were gracious in defeat after United lost 3-1 to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League final at Wembley . The two defenders were both excellent at the heart of the Reds' defence but even they were ultimately helpless to prevent Pepe Guardiola’s side lifting the European Cup, thanks mainly to an attacking masterclass from the Catalan giants. Speaking after the match, Ferdinand was keen to praise Barcelona, who he admits were simply the better side on the night. “Losing a cup final feels the same, it doesn’t matter where it is," said Ferdinand. "You don’t want to get to any final and lose, and we came here to become winners and genuinely believed that we could. But tonight, as I say, you have to give credit where credit is due and they were the deserving winners. “We could have played better in parts but on the night they were the better team so we can’t really argue. From memory I think we could have done better with a co
