HAI WORLD

[oyceter]

Great, now I am one of those people whose blogs consist entirely of posts saying "I am still alive! I will post more! Really! No, really!"

Anyway, random things of late:

- I lost a library book at the post office
- Sister left for school again
+ Someone actually returned my library book for me!
++++ CB gave me a Nook Touch!!!!
--- Moving and packing and all variants thereof
+ Applying for more jobs lately
- Not working on other stuff

Hi, hi! &hearts (Also gah, I am probably going to go deeper into that still-alive phase soon.)

[oyceter]

[heresluck]

Hi!!!!

If you need ebookery stuff, let me know.

[oyceter]

Oooo any and all ebookery stuff appreciated, esp. tips!

[kate_nepveu]

Really the biggest thing, assuming you haven't already found it, is how to unlock your purchased books so you can back them up, in case you change devices that don't read the same format, etc.

Hee have done that already! Right now I am trying to figure out how to customize Calibre so I can have genres and subgenres and nested hierarchies, as well as figuring out how to root the thing so I don't have to use BN's not-so-great library management system.

Mobileread has been a pretty good resource for Sony stuff, fwiw.

[oyceter]

OMG I have been reading it for what feels like 24/7 the past few days! It is indeed awesome.

[umadoshi]

Nook! Yay!

[oyceter]

I am so excited!!

[thistleingrey]

Yay for plus-able things! Sad about moving--are you going far?

[oyceter]

Oh, sorry! It's actually CB moving in the area, not me, but OMG so much stuuuuffffff......

[badgerbag]

Wait! you are moving! OMG! I hope not far, too. I still aspire to lure you to my boat!

[oyceter]

Fear not! It is just me helping CB move, and within the area at that! I can't believe I still haven't visited your boat!

[badgerbag]

I am probably not well enough to kayak myself for a while yet, but you and CB are welcome to kayak any time!

[badgerbag]

p.s. for CB:

Hi! <3333333 Yay for random acts of kindness resulting in a lack of library fines! And a Nook \o/

[oyceter]

Very yay!!

[jinian]

Ooh, maybe it was my pay-it-forward karma that got your book returned. :) I returned this awful book on horror movies someone left downtown once, not even to the right library but they said they could forward it ILL-style.

Glad to see you doing okay and e-reading!

[oyceter]

Oooo that would be awesome! Also, go you for returning other people's books!
