Reading Time: < 1 minute [{.alignnone}](https:/www.main-vision.com/richard/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/img_2084-1-300×225.jpg) I am too tired to write, not from a long drive, but from being kept awake by Arlequino. before a long drive. I leave you with blossom today.
Reading Time: 2 minutes In an ideal world I would use Audiobookshelf when I’m driving tomorrow. In the real world I can’t, or at least shouldn’t. The reason for this is simple. There is no iOS app which, in turn, means that there is no car play app. Combined this means that if I want to use the app…
Reading Time: 2 minutes Two authors wrote books. In these books they speak about whether Jack Dorsey or Elon Musk killed twitter. The answer is neither. If Twitter was alive and healthy it would never have been sold to an individual for four times its value, because its growth potential would have made this absurd. Twitter died by 2007,…
Reading Time: 2 minutes There has been a shift within cloud services such as Google, Facebook and others. That shift is to make migrating photos from one service quick and easy. The old fashioned method would be to download media from service A before re-uploading it to service B. This requires lots of space on hard drives and this could be…
Reading Time: 3 minutes This morning when I should have been working on the daily blog post I decided to install Ubuntu on an external hard drive to see if it still worked as I remembered it working.

Reading Time: 3 minutes As I write this I am waiting for my Apple Laptop to complete two tasks. The first task is to convert all my audible books from AAX to MP3 format. This is taking days to complete because I have over 500 books and my mac book pro is slow, due to it being from 2016. ##…
Reading Time: < 1 minute Yesterday I went for a walk, during which I listened to two podcasts via AudioBookShelf, but that’s not the point of this post. The point of this post is that the seasons have changed. The snow has melted and there was a brief interlude in rain so plenty of people went out for bike rides….
Reading Time: 4 minutes Almost every time I get into the car I wish I was going on a road trip. I wish I was driving from point A to point B and that the drive would take hours, rather than minutes. As much as I hate “commuting” between point A and point B on a daily basis I…
Reading Time: 4 minutes Over the years I have used Aperture, Picasa and the Apple Photos Apps. In that time they have organised my files chronologically, automatically, as soon as I took pictures, in some cases. ## What They Do Aperture was well behaved. It would organise photos by year, by month and by day, so it’s easy to…
