    Self-Hosted Problem

    Reading Time: 2 minutes Yesterday I was already out when I noticed that I forgot to restart the audiobookshelf instance on my server before the run. I could either go home, start the server, and run, or I could just go for my run and use the normal app instead. By normal app I mean…

    Playing with OpenAudible and Audiobookshelf

    Reading Time: 2 minutes Last night I finished converting all my audiobooks to a DRM free format. In the process I learned that the m4b format renders much faster than mp3. I spent weeks trying to convert AAX files to mp3 and then by accident I agreed to convert files to m4b and it took…

    Waiting

    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…

    The DI Barton Series

    Reading Time: 2 minutes Recently I have read three out of four DI Barton books and I enjoy them.

    Reading Time: 2 minutes I used to really like YouTube. It was a place where normal people could share videos of their normal lives, for normal people to enjoy, and to discover organically. Today YouTube is a way of forcing people to watch adverts before watching content that has been seen half a million to…
