| brobostigon | morning knightwise | 06:44 |
| knightwise | hows it goin dude | 06:45 |
| brobostigon | first coffee of the day dissappearing quickly, mostly asleep, and you? | 06:47 |
| knightwise | havent had coffee yet , still on tea | 06:48 |
| brobostigon | :) | 06:49 |
| knightwise | Just posted the new podcast: https://knightwise.com/kw1302-a-look-at-knightwises-kindle/ | 06:52 |
| * brobostigon has knightwise's blog setup in his tt-rss installation, :) | 06:56 | |
| knightwise | :) | 06:58 |
| knightwise | yeah , we have shows lined up untill mid october :) | 06:58 |
| brobostigon | :) | 06:58 |
| knightwise | been preparing a "retro 80's cartoon themesong cover episode" | 07:00 |
| brobostigon | https://taylorworld.one my work in progress, :) | 07:02 |
| knightwise | oooh RPG | 08:01 |
| brobostigon | :) | 08:11 |
| knightwise | Hmm.. been buying some of those BDM magazines in the shop | 08:23 |
| knightwise | computerbooks about coding, raspberry pi etc | 08:23 |
| knightwise | pretty low level but well done. | 08:23 |
| knightwise | 180 page magazines full of projects and instructions | 08:23 |
| knightwise | only now found out they are also available as online pdf's for half the price | 08:24 |
| brobostigon | thats a big difference, magazines like that are inheritly expensive here, thats why my brother still buys the C'T magazine for me, which is 4.9 euro, which is £4.37, a magazine like that here would be 4 times that price. | 08:29 |
| knightwise | I think i payed 19 euro's for the edition i got yesterday | 08:32 |
| brobostigon | ouch. | 08:32 |
| knightwise | But i would prefer to have the digital versions | 08:32 |
| knightwise | I'm realy into digital reading | 08:36 |
| knightwise | things kicked up a notch when I found an old kindle fire at the dump this weekend :) | 08:36 |
| knightwise | now I have a small tablet to read pdf's and stuff :) | 08:36 |
| brobostigon | :) | 08:37 |
| knightwise | amazing what people throw away | 09:04 |
| brobostigon | oh yes. | 09:04 |
| knightwise | Its a secret hobby of mine. | 09:07 |
| knightwise | going to the recycling center, dumpsterdiving in the electronics bin and bringing home stuff just to fix it up and give it away | 09:07 |
| * knightwise loves that | 09:07 | |
| brobostigon | :) | 09:08 |
| knightwise | hmm. now I just need to look for a Sonos replacement for the office | 09:14 |
| knightwise | been thinking about using musicbox on a pi | 09:15 |
| knightwise | or I might just install mopidby on an old imac I have lying around | 09:48 |
| zxmoy-pi | i've had a few ereaders from 7" cool-er to 5" kobo and a few inbetween. i usually just switch back to using phone after a while. | 12:02 |
| knightwise | Nah , cant read on a phone | 12:02 |
| zxmoy-pi | my first ereader was a palm iiix so i'm used to small screens. these days i use my nokia 3310 2017 edition for reading | 12:04 |
| zxmoy-pi | the battery life is near infinite on the bugger :-) | 12:04 |
| knightwise | yes ! Same for me | 12:04 |
| knightwise | read a TON of books on that one | 12:04 |
| knightwise | Palm | 12:05 |
| knightwise | handspring visor | 12:05 |
| zxmoy-pi | i tried reading on my earlier pda a psion 3a but it wasn't as comfy to hold to read a book | 12:05 |
| knightwise | ipaQ (yes , that s a q) | 12:05 |
| knightwise | then the Sony PRS 505 | 12:05 |
| knightwise | a kobo, a kindle and now a kindle oasis | 12:05 |
| zxmoy-pi | i remember the compaq ipaqs. one of the better pocket pc devices iirc | 12:05 |
| knightwise | yes | 12:06 |
| zxmoy-pi | still dreadful but way better than the rest | 12:06 |
| knightwise | I read the entire han solo trilogy on the iPaq | 12:06 |
| knightwise | and then some , a lot by arthur c clarke and of course star trek novels | 12:06 |
| zxmoy-pi | i have all clarke and star trek on my nokia :-) | 12:07 |
| zxmoy-pi | about 10gb of ebooks | 12:07 |
| knightwise | Rama was probably my favorite (the first one) | 12:08 |
| zxmoy-pi | i like the sequels but the series should have stopped after the first one alright | 12:09 |
| knightwise | yep , never got through the second one | 12:14 |
| knightwise | this weeks podcast is about "what am i reading" | 12:14 |
| zxmoy-pi | the last line in the first one left it a wonderful anticipation.... | 12:20 |
| knightwise | yep , but then the second books tanks | 12:28 |
| knightwise | enjoyed the space oddissey series too | 12:28 |
| zxmoy-pi | 2061 is the weak one of that series and i still enjoyed it... they keep saying they're going to make the film.... | 12:38 |
| diplo | Morning all | 12:44 |
| diplo | Afternoon even | 12:44 |
| knightwise | 2061 ? I thought that was the best one | 12:46 |
| zxmoy-pi | 3001 > 2010 > 2001 > 2061 would be my order | 12:47 |
| zxmoy-pi | but i suspect the movie version of 2010 really made me like it a bit more as it was so good | 12:48 |
| zxmoy-pi | especially the way 3001 was left open for a sequel as i read it... | 12:50 |
| knightwise | yep , but never finished | 12:59 |
| knightwise | I thought the book was way better then the movie | 12:59 |
| zxmoy-pi | it was but the movie did the ships well... they did zero gravity well, the aerobraking looked fantastic.... | 13:01 |
| knightwise | that is true | 13:01 |
| knightwise | and the guy who did the lead (the guy from jaws) great lead | 13:01 |
| knightwise | great cast | 13:01 |
| zxmoy-pi | yup | 13:01 |
| knightwise | teehee :) I found an old kindle fire at the dump yesterday , | 13:26 |
| knightwise | turns out the thing supports bluetooth keyboard and mouse ! hilarious | 13:26 |
| zxmoy-pi | if it's new enough you should be able to plug in a usb keyboard and mouse via an otg cable.... | 13:27 |
| knightwise | ah ! i have one of those lying around too | 13:28 |
| knightwise | sshd in via the fire :) | 13:32 |
| knightwise | ha | 13:32 |
| knightwise | insane that this thing even has a mini kb and mouse | 13:34 |
| diddledan | seagulls are coming home to roost | 19:43 |
| diddledan | big weird when the nearest sea is 50 miles away | 19:43 |
| zxmoy-pi | very noisy outside as i walked home earlier. suggests rain | 19:43 |
| zxmoy-pi | about 2m from sea | 19:44 |
| brobostigon | oh yeah https://photos.app.goo.gl/tqL6iLLYzif15Nf76 :) | 19:44 |
