Purpose of this blog is to document the books I am reading. Why you may ask. Well, you, it is because I have a kindle and thus I read a ton more than I used to, I want to get this across to some of the more stubborn publishers and authors who don’t make their books available for kindle or with text to speech enabled.
Got the kindle on its release date in October 2oo9, since then I have bought and read:
- The Speed Reading Course – Peter Shepherd, Gregory Unsworth-Mitchell
- Quicksilver – Neal Stephenson
- Freakonomics – Stephen J. Dubner
- Confusion, The – Neal Stephenson
- System of the World, The – Neal Stephenson
- The Problems of Philosophy (Optimized for Kindle) – Bertrand Russell
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Stieg Larsson
- The Island of Doctor Moreau – H.G. Wells
- The Complete Works of William Shakespeare – William Shakespeare
I have read all excluding the last (and am busy with Bertrand Russell)
Number of books I have purchased in the year prior to getting the kindle?
2

I’m feeling brave today.
I had a smoothie that contains half a rainforrest so I’m feeling brave today.
My internet if flakey and I have decided to contact Vox.co.za and Telkomsa.net about it… as I said, I’m feeling brave today. Here is the email
<pre>”Hi there
I have been experiencing problems with skype of late, having done some tests with speedtest.net and pingtest.net it turns out that there is plenty bandwidth but my ping times are too high. I tested around 5 international servers and all came back with around 700ms ping times. Please advise how we can attend to this as it is affecting conference calls.
As the problem lies with either Vox (BW providers) or Telkom (line providers) I have included you both in this email.
The line number in question is 022 *** **** and vox user id is ******
thanks
Carl

Firefox doesn’t play properly with gmail
