nook v1.2 software update
Posted February 5, 2010 by joshg253
Barnes & Noble have released the second software update for the nook.
v1.2, boasts
- “Enhanced in-store seamless connectivity to enjoy free Wi-Fi, with our More In Store content and promotions exclusively for nook owners.
- Improved opening of eBooks and periodicals
- Improved response to Reading Now & Settings buttons
- Current reading page and bookmarks on all eBooks is properly saved when your nook is powered off
- Bookmarks display page number
- Eligible LendMe™ eBooks in My Library include a LendMe™ flag
- Easier navigation of daily subscription with issues rolled into one folder
- Improved “back” button functionality for navigating eBooks and periodicals
- Personal files downloaded onto nook and displayed in My Documents can be sorted by author & title
- Overall system improvements and battery optimization”
You can sideload the file to get the update now or wait until the next week or so to have it automatically download and apply the update Over-The-Air or WiFi.
Approximate time to update:
- 4-5 minutes via sideload
- 5-7 minutes via WiFi
- 10-15 minutes via Fast & Free wireless
To verify you have the latest update, go to Settings and check to see that your Software version is 1.2.0.
Stuff I’ve noticed:
- Different icons/skin in LCD
- “Sort by” and “Show” actually show the current setting next to them now
- Document loading and page navigation is faster
- highlighting for selected items on eInk screen is different
- fonts slightly different when navigating Library, The Daily, etc.
- screensaver set to Cityscape (still said Authors in Settings but I saw a bridge)

Alice in Chains @ Paramount, Feb. 4-5, 2009
Posted February 5, 2010 by joshg253
Thursday
Got to Seattle around 5pm and had a couple ESBs at Ruth’s Chris. We had VIP tickets so we had to be in line “no later than 6pm” so we could get our pretty green Cut-the-Line bracelets and wait outside for an hour or so. We did end up front row on the floor, so it worked out. They made us sit on the floor until the opening act came out (~7:40 I think).
Opening act: Creature with the Atom Brain [Wikipedia, MySpace]. Needed much more LSD to appreciate them.
AiC came on at ~8:30, and played for two hours with minimal breaks (mostly just so Jerry could have a smoke) and came out for one encore with two more songs.
Setlist
- “All Secrets Known”
- “It Ain’t Like That”
- “Again”
- “Check My Brain”
- “Them Bones”
- “Dam That River”
- “Rain When I Die”
- “Your Decision”
- “Got Me Wrong”
- “No Excuses”
- “Last of My Kind”
- “Down in a Hole”
- “Sickman”
- “God Am”
- “Lesson Learned”
- “Acid Bubble”
- “Angry Chair”
- “Man in the Box”
ENCORE
- “Would?”
- “Rooster”
A random kid standing near me was kind of falling down on the kid in front of him, I asked if he was ok, he turned slightly toward me and stared off into the distance, then just fell forward and had to be carried out by a large black man.
After the show: wandered to find a place to have a beer, ended up at Cheesecake Factory, had a Mac & Jack’s and a bowl of clam chowder (soup of the day, delicious), then drove home.
Friday
I have a ticket for Row 3 on the mezzanine magneted to my fridge.
