Two weeks ago I have got my Nokia n810 a Garnet OS install. I did it just because it enabled me to used the Mobipocket Reader ( for Palm OS ). It works, just the fonts are bit dull.
Now, to celebrate my toys functionality, I’ve bought some Sci-Fi book, which had a reduced price and good ratings.
That book turned out to be a real page turner, I couldn’t believe that books can still have that influence on me.
I even got a sequel strait away after finishing the first one. Man, that was a great journey.
Now, I’m resisting. There is a third part of the series, but I’m keeping my hands away from the mobipocket website. I will keep it for the flight over the pond. It’s 10 days to go and I can’t wait!
Books which I was talking about are writen by Randolph Lalonde, looks like I will read all his books.
Mobipocket is my ebook format of choice. Donno why but it is.
Uh oh, day almost as usual
Yesterday ? I have read some article on polish website ( in polish, so I’m not linking ) where somebody mentioned some writers publishing their book on a web for free under CC license. So I’ve grabber one name: Cory Doctorow who claims to be responsible for boingboing, and downloaded one of his books Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. It is a page turner!
Pissed off by Firefox, I’ve found my self playing with flock. After installing it from BugZilla ebuild ( renamed to use latest version ), and playing cat and mouse with its feed capabilities, I am now happy with it, much happier that with Firefox!
Waiting for gentoo to pick it up, and make some source based ebuild.
Read an article on CNet about online calendars, I have tried the Google Calendar, it feels really nice. Sort of Ajax version of Hula Calendar. Introduced Ann to this nice place on the web, after some time which she needed to get used to new stuff we played in events and calendars sharing. It also sends good invites in ics , so my Evolution could pick it up. Nice! Missing just a sync with a Palm OS devices and a lot of people will be in heaven.
I’ve found a “game” for PalmOS, where you can develop your memory, my official record for now is 28 (20 normal lvl, and 8 expert)
it’s g8, but when you are on 7th level on expert you think that elements are comming too fast
btw. probably i have a job, will see on monday.
Back in day when I had an BE-300 from Casio I was looking for good software to read ebooks. That was befor I found expod, and was able to run ubook. I found MobiPocket, and found it very good, but it worked only with it’s own files. I used converterd, and was happy, even I bought a dictionary ( Electronic Oxford ) but then my be-300 was so unstable, that I tought that I’ve lost my money when after hard-reset my mobipocket reader have changed its ID. Back in that days I wasnt able to change ID in the shop…
When I bought my T|C I tought that I need some good ebook reader , and …. yes I’ve turned my eyes to mobipocket… but… I couldn’t install it ’cause it needs windows… I was sad…
Yesterday I had a dream about reading “Mono: The Developers Handbook” on my device… and when I was looking after some e-book with that title, I have found a link to MBReader files for nonWindows users. Yeah, right now I have it on my T|C and I’m reading on of the free e-book “Underground”, and I was able to get my dictionary to my new device
so no more unknown words in a book. Yap, MBR has that extremely good option, when you select a word in text, lookup in dictionary
I can only say sweet.
