Codepope's Development Hell

There’s a super little Instructable on how to make a Literary clock using a Kindle. Well, I happened to have an old school original Kindle 3 about and dived it. Some observations…. The jailbreaking materials for the Kindle are functional but there’s so many images out there its easy to see why people can get confused. The USB/Wifi Networking hack is pretty good to work with when you’re doing USB only, but I wasn’t sold on Wifi configuration, so I stuck with USB and the joy of self-assigning IPs.

I’ve not been blogging much here, but thats going to change. Fresh lick of theme, and… we’re off. First up, this Ortho-linear keyboard from OLKB. I have a distinct keyboard fetish and I don’t think it’ll be every satisfied. Always looking for something different and this OLKB Plank kit seems to have tickled every spot. The Ortho-linear layout puts everything on a grid, and has no proven benefits but it does feel nice to type on in terms of finger positioning.

Friday’s news, still fresh… read it over at Compose Articles (or here and below in the archive). Fresh MongoDB and PostgreSQL development versions on the road to production, MariaDB’s TX does Oracle and more. Enjoy. A first release candidate for MongoDB 4.0. PostgreSQL 11 enters beta. Locking up? PostgreSQL and MySQL locks. MariaDB TX goes for Oracle enterprises. Database down time at Wikipedia. Containerd’s Kubernetes integration goes GA. Bash Bash now with Bash Alpha 5.

It’s Friday and here’s the new NewsBits with database updates galore, malware in dependencies, a new DB based on MySQL, the latest Rust and Sublime Text and mmm… CloudEvents (not a conference (not yet at least)). Updates for PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, etcd and Scylla. “Cloud native” MySQL-based RadonDB appears. CloudEvents to bring serverless systems together. Looking to be big in enterprises - Firefox 60. Python and Node malware in dependencies. Ligatures and HiDPI support in Sublime Text.
