@bitterdonald people complained and Kickstarter worked out their problems, so I just sent a page for people to click on. Click on it, and it should feed to my.bookfunnel.com

aaaah that's why... Apparently Kickstarter sent me an email in the short time my domain expired when I was on vacation, so it bounced and they stopped trying to send me stuff.

I'm sure this is covered in the book somewhere under "don't bloody let your domains expire"

in reply to Michael W Lucas¹ :flan_mail:

it's ok. When you put the inevitable errata on your website, you can add a footnote to Chapter 4 that just says "if you let the domain expire, life is gonna suck. Don't do that."

@bitterdonald I logged in to BookFunnel and #RYOMS wasn't listed. Then I clicked on the link from the patronizer post on TiltedWindmillPress and then selected the ePUB and PDF downloads. After that, I refreshed my bookfunnel page and it showed up in "My Library" with the other books. Now I have 350 pages of...well, I haven't read it yet, so it might be almost certain doom, it might not.

I just discovered the APC Back UPS 500 starts making a loud beep when its battery fails and you cannot disable it even though it would keep working on AC. mastodon.social/@gvy_dvpont/11…


We've got this cheap egg cooker that plays the loudest, most terrifying alarm you've ever heard when it's done cooking. My wife requested that I make it "less aggressive" so I hacked it into the most gentle egg cooker of ALL TIME

(warning: probably loud)

@jon_alper @steveriggins Even my larger one for my computer with a USB connection—it relies on the host OS for comms. A few dollars would allow it to use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to provide additional network-based data!

@steveriggins Could definitely be handy! I do wonder how good ‘battery health’ could be accurately assessed for a lead acid battery but yeah, advance warning to my phone would be great!
