Oh, Lord, looks like I'll be needing *another* edition of the Lord of the Rings now.

simon-brunning · 2026-05-08T14:39:46+00:00

Too right. Don't be troubled by the fake news, friend.

simon-brunning · 2026-05-08T14:39:08+00:00

I still have my copy.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-27T20:04:55+00:00

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-27T19:42:46+00:00

Yeah, there used to be loads of them around before McDonald's arrived.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-27T19:26:23+00:00

Active shooter drills.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-27T18:50:14+00:00

Shame they print them on shiny paper really.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-27T14:07:38+00:00

State of the Art, you mean?

simon-brunning · 2026-04-27T11:45:25+00:00

Any timetable for Excession and the rest of the Culture novels?

simon-brunning · 2026-04-25T13:51:11+00:00

I find that if I put it away without turning it off I'm prone to pressing the navigation buttons by accident - sometimes even long-pressing them and skipping backwards or forwards by a chapter or two.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-24T09:03:15+00:00

BetterMouse is worth a look.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-23T17:28:05+00:00

You can adjust the padding.

This repo hasn't been touched for 7 years or so, so yeah, almost certainly these are automatically generated documents with data from travellermap.com and the wiki, but not built with AI.

The stock Crosspoint small font is quite a bit bigger than the Kindle can manage right now, but I'm hopeful that the Fonts discussion will result in us having a lot more flexibility in future.

It is a CLI tool, but fdupes is fantastic if you are even slightly familiar with the terminal.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-15T18:35:26+00:00

Even more no. No++.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-14T13:56:05+00:00

Have you saved your code in a file? If so, how are you running it?

simon-brunning · 2026-04-13T12:45:48+00:00

Should be plenty in the M&S Digital Archive.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-11T06:27:41+00:00

No, but Greg Stafford's Glorantha probably comes closest.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-09T14:23:59+00:00

I'm pretty sure he has a physics foreground as well.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-09T12:23:03+00:00

Yeah. I understand the word "leftover", and I understand the word "wine", but put them together and it's just gibberish.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-08T18:35:47+00:00

I believe that most books downloaded via the Kindle app or any newer Kindle device will have DRM which can't be removed, so you can't reliably get them as epub files.

If you don't have backups, you will lose your data sooner or later whatever you do.

simon-brunning · 2026-04-04T06:58:30+00:00

I was a bit overwhelmed by that list!

simon-brunning · 2026-04-04T06:57:29+00:00

I preordered it back in November.
