Finally got koreader and plato set up on my Kobo, and calibre set up for managing and converting ebooks. The default {author}/{title} file structure for moving ebooks to the reader doesn’t work at all for me, but fortunately(?) calibre supports no less than three different template languages allowing for very flexible ebook organisation schemes. These can be configured by opening the “Configure this Device” menu and editing the “Save Template” field.
I ended up using this little script to organise books in a way which makes navigation easy for my collection:
program:
# If the book is in a series, make a folder for that series, and ensure books are in order
# by prepending their series index to their file name.
if (field('series')) then
strcat(field('series'), '/', field('series_index'), ' - ', field('title'))
# Otherwise, if a book has tags, make a folder for the first tag and put it there.
elif (list_count(field('tags'), ',') > 0) then
strcat(sublist(field('tags'), 0, 1, ','), '/', field('title'))
# Otherwise, simply place the book at the top level for easy access and future sorting.
else
field('title')
fi
A couple of books ended up in the wrong folders, presumably due to some error with tag ordering or metadata syncing, but it was quick to clear up manually in the filesystem.
For anyone who wants to play current patch Hollow Knight enemy randomiser but is confused about where to find it and doesn’t want to wade through/sign up for discord: here is the google docs list of HK mods linked from discord. Enemy Randomizer [1.5 port] is the one you’re looking for
If playing with item rando, I’d recommend NOT randomising boss geo or the coloseums, as both seem buggy and unreliable.
Heads-up for anyone in need of some OPA1642 op-amps, Mouser has a few in stock, get ‘em while they’re hot
Never realised scorpion flies have such long noses
Not the most notable, but possibly my favourite #CityNatureChallenge 2022 sighting: a dancing caterpillar!
Sadly, this isn’t an extremely rare musical species which will revolutionise animal rhythmic entrainment research! It’s a defensive behaviour triggered in this case by the fly which I was actually trying to photograph.
#CNC 2022 Day 4 Highlights — was pretty tired at this point so just went for a short walk through the Laaer Wald. Not much of note, but I did finally get to see a bristly millipede
Also found a buzzing spider and a weevil with an amusingly long nose
That’s a total of 260 observations over the four days, of which 106 have already been IDed to species. I’ll wait a few days before posting my usual unique and notable species analysis, and will update it a few times as more observations get IDs.
#CNC 2022 (belated) Day 3 Highlights! Rain during the day, so I went out at night.
Several Flat-backed millipedes and Blue Ground Beetles
A little Flower Longhorn Beetle and a Laena viennensis
A Bronze Ground Beetle and a Four-spotted Carrion Beetle
#CNC 2022 Day 2 Highlights! Only 90 observations today, despite much more time outside — yesterday cleared out the low-hanging fruit.
I think there’s a European pond turtle hiding in this picture somewhere
This Aesculapian Snake was much less camera-shy!
And I finally saw an Ant Woodlouse
#CNC 2022 Day 1 Highlights! Spent a few hours wandering around Wienerberg and ended up with 97 observations (so close to a clean 100!)
Many Greater Bee Flies
Some tiny jumping spiders
And an obligatory hamster
Only two weeks until the 238th Halibut Day! Put it in your calendars now. It’ll be the first Untouchable halibut day for 22 years, very exciting.
Easily one of the worst front-end web failure modes I’ve ever seen, apparently caused by Ghostery blocking access to gapi, which is completely unnecessary for reading the article
@seaotta the best way is to start writing them!
But IMO a big part is normalising the idea that anything which people would currently write as a tweet thread would be better off as a blog post. Normalising the idea the blog posts don’t need to be polished, or to have stock photos, or even a title.
And then build on that: tweet what would have been the first tweet of the thread, with a link to the full post. Use something like brid.gy to gather responses from twitter as a comment thread.
Might be worth replying to threads we enjoy with “hey, I love your writing, do you have a blog?” to remind people that they exist and would be read
