@neil @ygathgoch thx. There’s some notes I followed here https://anarc.at/hardware/tablet/kobo-clara-hd/ (did I paste this already?)

@ygathgoch @neil I recently achieved this by putting syncthing on the kobo

Does minimalist Santa take stuff away at Christmas?

@willhbr Love breaking the word “password” to wrap the line there too

@pndc you sound perfect. Can I send you a question via email? I'll attempt to DM you my address

@RogerBW you've got mail

I could use a couple of volunteer Atom-feed lovers interested in 3d printing for a private beta or something

@liw @neil it’s proven a theory had though, that I will basically fill the full capacity of whatever bag I have. So perhaps having a huge bag is actually a drawback.

@liw @neil I got an amazing bag in a thrift store in Portland, Oregon. I think it’s meant for SLR camera and lenses. Mine is in orange. https://images.evo.com/imgp/1500/67978/357593/poler-the-excursion-pack-backpack-olive-front.jpg

I find it much easier to write about music than tech

@dj @FetidTrash @mjg59 who says I am?

I really miss my Bose *on-ear* wireless headphones, which are discontinued. Is anyone making a decent pair of on-ear wireless ‘phones today? (Not over-ear)

This seems accurate

It’s a meme! Reads something like:

STOP DOING AGILE
• REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CHANGE EVERY TWO WEEKS
• YEARS of ESTIMATING yet no real-world evidence of anything getting done faster
• "In order to reduce process we add more process" - statement dreamed up by the UTTERLY DERANGED
• POKER is a GAME not a PLANNING TOOL
• T-shirt size estimation belongs in the CLOTHING STORE not SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
• "Points represent complexity, not time"
YET YOU KEEP MEASURING HOW MANY POINTS FIT IN A WEEK??
• People who want to "BURN DOWN" belongs in JAIL not run software teams
• Same goes for people doing GROOMING
This is REAL SCRUM done by REAL scrum masters:

Pretend there’s a bunch of burndown charts here.

They have played us for absolute fools

Today I want to be on top of things and end the day proud of whatever I did
