Plugging along on the music project. The next thing to do is to go over the Book/Kindle/Reader project. I am looking at Amazon with a jaundiced eye right now. I think that them having the "books" that I have purchased "safely" stored in one of their data centers just isn't cool. I purchased the books contents in order to have them available to me. I don't feel that I purchased the contents to be read with Amazon's permission.
So I am going to plug along with the music scheme. Currently I have one day, ten hours, and twenty-seven minutes of music taking up residence on a small player and a couple of hard drives. I think that I will expand that out to ten days straight of music. I will need to purchase a 16gb microSD card to accomplish this, and also pester friends and friendly bar owners for access to CD collections, but I don't see this as too much a problem
Books are going to be easier. One of the nice things about going with a Linux system is there are many folks out there who have put in hard work neutralizing Amazon's stranglehold. I will be commenting further on this as I continue my research. As always, Project Gutenberg is an amazing resource that needs to be cloned everywhere possible.
Maybe not to much today on the screed front. Gonna go have lunch with the FamDamily and then hang out and watch some football. As I side note on this little pathology (re:football, not family. But sometimes I do wonder), I have decided that losing in an online league is actually winning.
