How old is too old?
A while back I was helping my brother move some old equipment out of a place he use to live. One of the items that I saw there was an old laptop laying on top of some boxes that were stacked up on the floor. It looked kind of old …
My simple calendar script

RWE: Step by step instructions for building AOKP 6.0 for the T-Mobile variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4
