  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.

  7. Read about American politics or watch British politics? What kind of a question is that? "Yes, Minister" starts now!
  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
  9. I was thinking of setting my iPhone to wipe after 10 failed passcode attempts. Then I remembered that I have a one-year old. #fb

  11. While I was there, I made sure that I turned off all emails from Twitter. #twitterfail
  12. I updated my Twitter settings so that I never get a "weekly digest of Stories & Tweets from my network".
  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.
  14. @AdamVolle And, once the books are in Calibre with DRM removed, you can just transfer them straight to your Kindle for reading.
  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.
  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.
