At about 5:00 am, the fans stopped spinning. And we knew there was a power outage. We rolled back to sleep in the embers of the night and thought, “oh well, they’ll sort themselves out”. We were jolted out of sleep two hours later, by the loud noise of a crash down the road. A […]
Save (your data from) Endomondo Month!
Heh. I hereby dub December, 2020, “Save your data from Endomondo” month. Why? So, given this state of affairs, it would be wise to ensure your data on the Endomondo platform is exported to somewhere. I made a request via their site to get all 789 of my workouts from there and a few days […]

Mind you, I like a nice form over a cool data repository as much as the next guy, but it’s definitely cool to stretch your arms and do something more. So, when Dr. Ogundipe approached me about […]
