  5. I finished "Master of the Senate". Again. I'd forgotten how much of a slog it was. At nearly 1000 pages, it's much longer than the first 2. 8:31 PM May 26th via Osfoora for Mac

  7. Read about American politics or watch British politics? What kind of a question is that? "Yes, Minister" starts now! 7:17 PM May 22nd via Osfoora for Mac
  8. Yes, I did it. I turned on the AC in the house. In my defense, it was 82 inside and this house barely cools off at night. #fb 5:58 PM May 19th via Day One (Journal/Diary) on iOS from Oregon, WI

  13. @AdamVolle No problem. It's nice when someone vents about something I actually know about. Let me know how it works out for you. 8:02 AM May 16th via Tweetbot for iOS from Verona, WI in reply to AdamVolle
  14. @AdamVolle And, once the books are in Calibre with DRM removed, you can just transfer them straight to your Kindle for reading. 5:36 AM May 16th via Osfoora for Mac in reply to AdamVolle
  15. @AdamVolle This is the method I use, to strip DRM. apprenticealf.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/ebo…—-a-guide-for-the-perplexed/ Once the setup is done, it's easy. 5:35 AM May 16th via Osfoora for Mac in reply to AdamVolle
  16. @AdamVolle I should really write a guide on how to fix that. It's doable, you just need to strip the DRM locking it to Anna's Kindle. 4:30 AM May 16th via Tweetbot for iOS from Oregon, WI in reply to AdamVolle
