Block Ads in Apps

This post will be brief. It won't be well written. But it will be useful. Skip it if you feel like it – I don't care; if it's helpful, great.

A lot of people use Ad Block Plus for their browsers. That's good but if you are anything like me, the majority of your internet ​related stuff actually happens in dedicated apps.

It turns out, ABP has a solution for in-app ads that works for non-rooted Android phones.

You used to be able to download it from the F-droid store but now you can just download it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1972698&d=1368903932

You can install it, open it and switch it on. This will start a server. In a notification that pops up, you will find the port that the server is running on.

You now use the port in your proxy settings which is explained very neatly here: https://adblockplus.org/android-config

Have fun not seeing ads. I know I will.

Windowsilly and fridge-crazy

There are lovely places to be in my owner's apartment. So many places to go, hide, explore and sleep in.

But I have two favorites. The windowsill and the behind the fridge. My reasoning is a mystery. My pattern of when I go to them is an enigma. Don't try to find the logic.

I am rat; hear me rawr.

Developer-friendly

My owner has lately had to work on Windows at work. It's a shame really. Why the change? Well hes' apparently going to start doing more .NET and less python - which is also a shame but at least he'll still be coding.

You should hear him complain to me about it. It's "Windows locks the BIOS by default" this and "Why the heck can't I pipe stuff in cmd" that. Moan, moan; moan. Even though his complaining is driving me insane, I can't hide the fact that he's actually hitting on a sore spot for a lot of developers and IT people.
