Jarulf @mstdn.social I work in a used books shop and read mostly Science fiction and fantasy, but not exclusively. I game a bit, but wouldn't call myself a gamer.
Interested, but not very knowledgeable about Walkability, 15 min city, rewilding.
I have some issues with physical pain as well as social anxiety.

I've just installed #koreader on a couple of my devices and like it so far. Connecting to #Calibre wirelessly works on one of them.

If I could code, I'd try to make a plugin that automatically updates progress with #TheStoryGraph if that is even possible. \#books @bookstodon
I've been using Calibre to manage my ebooks for years, but haven't delved very deep into what it's actually capable of. But it seems that the combination of koreader and Calibre might be very useful.

I'm not quite sure what to do yet, but having Calibre serve books to my Kobo devices and automatic syncing between them over wireless sounds super useful. I'm sure I can squeeze in a raspberry pi in there too somewhere. :-) Time to tinker, I think. \#Kobo #KoReader #Calibre #RaspberryPi @bookstodon
@SpacemanSpiff I have to find the money somewhere for the collected edition.

@alternativenation Do you remember the first album you bought with your own money? For me it was Even in the Quietest Moment by #Supertramp I had asked my older sister for advice, and while we didn't really have the same taste in music I wasn't disappointed.
Edit: Uhm, not sure Supertramp counts as alternative though...
@Anrky @alternativenation I'm listening to Glory Box this minute! I never saw Tank Girl, but clearly I have to now.
Dummy really is a glorious album.
@ren Absolutely. Portishead was the only Triphop band I listened to until relatively recently, but they have led me on to #MazzyStar and #MassiveAttack.
What I usually listened to was classics like #BobDylan, #SimonAndGarfunkel, #TheBand etc. Also lots and lots of #REM and #ToriAmos (who made me discover #KateBush)
But hey, I love #JohannSebastianBach and #Allegri too. 😁

@alternativenation a friend of mine introduced me to #Portishead when they were still active, and it was very different to music either of us usually listened to at that time. I still really like them. https://youtu.be/8T0cRt8efsQ I still associate the song Wandering Star with the science fiction show Babylon 5 😄 My mind just made a connection there somehow and now I'm stuck with it.
@renwillis @alternativenation Not much, no. 😃 Personally though, as a reader a new author is pretty great too.
@renwillis @alternativenation I hadn't, so thank you for that!
I have seen the video where they perform To sir with love though.
