I kind of like the silence. I even went as far as to leave my phone at home.

Its blissful.

Fortunately, all of the other MOBI and ePub tools I use are ones I wrote. In Java. On purpose. So they work on any platform.

I've been trying to put off writing a MOBI creator but I may have to bite the bullet and to it.

Possible kink in going with a newish Linux distro. Kindlegen. Tried it under RHEL7 and, unlike under RHEL6, it refuses to function. The only work around it to futz with Wine and various environment variables to make the Windows version work. If this holds true for newish distros, I am screwed. I have to use it often.

It's like the universe is pressing me to just buy a new iMac and be done with it. The Mac version of kindlegen works fine.

Damnit.

I was impressed with it the last time I looked. Paired with MATE, it's very usable.

Haven't decided. Probably Mint as I cannot stand the default desktops on the others.

Local talk radio station I stopped listening to due to one of their personalities being an unbearable ass.

Started listening on the way to the office again since there have been some local stories happening.

Guy's not there. Which I found odd as he was their head honcho so to speak.

Turns out he's facing a grand jury after a road rage incident. Smashed out a guy's window with a tomahawk and got shot for his trouble.

There's my morning story.

Another not-so-hot development is Bethesda and others leaving Steam.

I am not remotely interested in every platform having it's own launcher to navigate.

Giving serious consideration again to returning to Linux as a general, non-gaming platform.

Variety of reasons.

Mostly due to several recent update fiascos.

Not to mention a ever growing dislike of big tech.

I can do many things over the phone where IT and software support is concerned.

"One of our guys forgot to lower a dump truck bed and it took out the power and phone lines to our office."

is not one of those things I am equipped to handle.

About half asleep. Had radio on in my office. News story from Nashville. Two kids carjacked someone. They had to run away on foot as it was a manual transmission.

Worth a chuckle.
