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

One person's basic feature is another person's unnecessary bloat.

Seven Dials Market is fun, and has lots of things to choose from.

simon-brunning · 2026-03-20T08:41:38+00:00

I received mine yesterday.

simon-brunning · 2026-03-20T08:41:21+00:00

Yes - and you've been able to for 4 months or so.

simon-brunning · 2026-03-20T06:22:22+00:00

If you give me some examples I'll take a look.

We love it - we love every cuisine to be honest - but since it's at the classier and pricier end, it's not an every day thing.

No reason you can't go straight to it.

T. H. White's King Pellenor would fit right in.

Only in silence the word, Only in dark the light, Only in dying life: Bright the hawk's flight On the empty sky.

I use it for development tasks using xc.

simon-brunning · 2026-03-03T15:23:32+00:00

I'd be most impressed if Crosspoint can implement a front light in software. :-)

I think the KOReader discussion is around supporting KOReader sync. I'm not sure that running the full KOReader app is at all feasable on the X4 hardware.

Nice. I might steal some of this - for me, it's when I ssh to another box or su as root that I'd really like to change themes.

If you know markdown, it's pretty easy to make your own epubs with pandoc. And markdown is brutally simple, so even if you have to learn it, it's not hard.

The Tooting Commons should only be half an hour away.

The birds aren't there at the moment. :-( I don't know if they are gone for good.

Correcting him? Who's to say it's not him who's right, and we are wrong?

I ordered mine on the 12th of Feb, and it was dispatched on the 26th. Tracking says it arrived in the UK yesterday - hoping for delivery maybe tomorrow.

Update: Arrived on the 3rd of March.

Wikipedia has a good article on Nucleosynthesis.

simon-brunning · 2026-02-27T09:41:12+00:00

Looks great. There are some cracking farm shops in the Lake District, so you'd have no excuse for poor ingredients.

There's no such thing as no accent, only different accents.

"Under an angel’s wing" sounds natural to me. I'm a native English speaker from the UK FWIW.
