someone who's doing some things
This will be of limited interest but I thought I’d post it anyway as its of interest to me. You can find my page of barcodes that play a nice little tune in Barcodas (an iOS app that plays barcodes), can be found here.
I’ll be adding to it over time, so if you are interested you’ll see more of them there, although I probably won’t post about adding new ones.
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this story from Big Finish. I knew it would be good, they always maintain a high standard, but I had no idea that it was going this good. It really is one of the best stories I’ve heard in ages. It had me guessing the whole way through. It had loads of surprises and twists, and took a very different approach from other fourth Doctor stories.
I won’t give anything away, just in case you do listen to it, but it was brilliant.
Ok, it’s a bit odd, but then what else would I expect from Blancmange? It’s a good sign that the album will have lots of interesting things to listen to and ponder over.
Actually this doesn’t give you a sense of scale at all. This little cassette shaped MP3 player is about the size of a dictaphone cassette, if that means anything to you at all.
It has a headphone socket, USB for charging and a micro SD slot too. I’m going to see if it actually works, but I’m more interested in seeing what’s inside it.
So I’m really looking forward to making some noise with it soon. At least when I can find my old Gameboy and get it charged up too.
Which is an interesting Android app for running your own web server on an Android device. So, why do it? Good question. Like a lot of technologies I tinker with, I end up asking myself just that. What’s the point of this? What useful function does it offer me? I may well end up with the same question with PAW server. I’m not sure what I can do with it that can’t be satisfied elsewhere. At least, not yet anyway. It may have one or two uses.
If I find them I’ll let you know about it.
I’m somewhat sceptical about the new Apple Watch. Part of me wants one, but part of me thinks it’s going to be better to wait for the next iteration, just as with the iPhone and the iPad. The first version is ok, but it’s a starting block, something for Apple to build on.
Also, as I’ve backed the Pebble Time I think it’s best that I wait this out. See what comes next. Of course, the one thing that’ll change my mind is a really amazing app or use case for the device. I’m half expecting that to arrive much sooner than I’d like, but we’ll see.
I bought these as part of the recent Big Finish sale on Blake’s 7 stories. I’ve already got volumes 1 and 2 and so I thought that getting this could be nothing but a safe bet.
I’m really looking forward to hearing this story, although I’ve got a nagging thought that I’ve heard 3 before. We’ll see.
The latest episode in the current season of Blake’s 7 has just come out so I’m looking to listening to it very soon. If it’s anything like as good as the episodes so far it’ll be brilliant.
Of course in the UK it isn’t quite the Pi day, but I think you can forgive that. Today is a really special date, we won’t see this kind of Pi day again for a very very long time.
