I’d sort of forgotten about funding this on Kickstarter until it arrived. I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do with it. I did have a couple of ideas, and I’m sure I wrote them down somewhere, so I’ll have to look them out and see what I can do with it.
I’m sure it’ll find a place and I’m sure I’ll have some fun with it too.
I really can’t get over how lovely these little kits from Boldport are. The attention to detail and design are just beautiful. I do think they’re amazing.
I prefer the old style tickets which needed to be punched and clipped by a guard on the train. Of course on some of the old heritage lines they still do that. These are lovely, much nicer to handle.
They’re lovely.
Interviews on cassette don’t come around very often these days. Which is a shame really as I think it’s a great format for an interview. You have to listen to it all in one go, or at least half in one go anyway. There’s no easy way to skip forward and that’s a good thing in my opinion.
I put this on Instagram a while back and it just tickled me. What I did was to put my Pebble watch on top of my Twine box. The Twine is set to notify my iPhone every time it’s moved, measured by vibration. However, whenever the Pebble Time gets a notification it vibrates. So, once the Pebble Time is sitting on top of the Twine Box all it needs to do is to receive a notification from my iPhone and then a chain of events is triggered. The Pebble Time vibrates. This causes the Twine to notify my iPhone of a movements (via IFTTT). The iPhone gets the notification, it’s passed on to the Pebble Time, and so the cycle repeats.
I found it quite funny, but I guess no one else will.
Now that’s a shame. No more texts from GCal! I’m going to miss those a lot. I’ll just have to work out a better way of getting notifications. Probably have to use IFTTT for that, so something.
I was a big fan of Rome when it was on and I think I’ve watched it several times since then. One of the best things about Rome was legionary Pullo and his amazing sayings. He came out with some absolute classics and I didn’t want them to be lost. So I had an idea to set up a twitter account which would tweet some of his best everyday.
So I’ve set up a twitter account which will tweet his wisdom every day. If you want to follow it, you can find it here.
I posted recently about the new SoundLab site but completely forgot to actually post a link to it, so just for completeness, please click here to get to the SoundLab web site.
I thought I’d post something new rather than update the old post just so it was at the top of the page, at least for a little while anyway.
After a not bad wait at all my new Pebble Time smartwatch has arrived. So now I’m experimenting with it to see what it can do and what I can get done with it. That’s going to take a little while I should think, but as I decided to go with the Pebble Time just before the Apple Watch was announced and took centre stage I want to see how much I can get done with the new Pebble.
So expect updates on this over the coming weeks …
