I wish there was a way to strip Amazon’s book DRM scheme so I could move my books over to Kobo, etc. #amazon #failure #books #reading

Do people still write farces? If so, have you read any good ones? #book #reading #farce

Back in my day we had printers where you had to hit a matrix of keys to get letters to come up on the paper. We called those devices typewriters.

If you could, what would you want to learn or learn how to do? I’d love to learn to play an instrument or draw, but I incapable of either. I’d like to learn to be conversationally fluent in Japanese, but that won’t happen, although I’m working on it.

I’m beginning to throw around concepts for the cover design of my pulp novel, “The Cat and the Warlock”, which I’ll start editing once I’m done with “To Wield Power: Coins of Destiny 2” #writing #editing #design #publishing

It’s time for some tea.

Cool! The cover of “To Preserve Health: Coins of Destiny 1” was used in a promotion, by BookBaby auteureist.com/CoD/COD-1… #publishing #books #cover

I wonder if I should eat something today.

It’s time for a break from the editing slog.

Arrogance is not a measure of willpower. #life #failure

Hm. SuperNote released batteries, motherboards and replacements for FIY and DIY, along with videos for Manta/Nomad. #eink #supernote

We use more compute power for AI than it takes one idiot to get the same results. #ai #failure

The Gathering: the latest member, Sardine. #feral #cat

It’s OK to fail as long as you don’t do it every time. #life
