Synopsis In this episode, Rho`n unboxes his new PineTime smart watch development kit, and gives his initial impressions. The development kit consists of two watches. One watch is fully assembled and ready for daily use. The other watch is disassembled, consisting of a watch band, the watch back cover, and the assembled display, system on a chip (SOC), CPU, and battery. The kit also comes with a serial cable for connecting from your computer to the SOC.

Overview I write a moderate number of Bash scripts these days. Bash is not a programming language as such, but it’s quite powerful in what it can do by itself, and with other tools it’s capable of many things. I have enjoyed writing such scripts for many years on a variety of hardware and operating systems, and Bash is my favourite - partly because Linux itself is so flexible. This is just a short show describing three things I tend to do in Bash scripts to assist with some tasks I find I need to undertake. Generate Bash variables from a text file - usually output from a program Fill Bash arrays with data from a file or other source Use environment variables to control the Bash script’s execution Long notes Follow this link to read the detailed notes associated with this episode.

This tutorial is mostly about working with floppy disks, or diskettes, though we also mention the formatting of hard drives, which generally required the use of a floppy drive and diskette to accomplish.

Another fortnight, another episode of our beloved podcast called Linux Inlaws :-). What starts as an episode on the history of Central Europe and the role of the Netherlands and Germany in the greater scheme of things rapidly moves sideways into a discussion of git-powered static HTML website generators in contrast to context management systems (CMSs) and their advantages, disadvantages and why the hell even think about this. Chris uses an innocent (?) Linux User Group (LUG) as an example for a successful site migration from a Python-powered CMS to a version of the website based on a static site generator written in Go and called Hugo. Even if you may find this boring to tears stay tuned as there may be an unexpected ending of this ditty in the shape of two interesting poxes...

How to make your own Git subcommands with shell scripts, and then how to pass arguments to them with git rev-parse. For a real-world example of Git in scripts and hooks, see Git-portal. The joke site Klaatu mentions in the episode is git-man-page-generator. It's a joke site. Do not attempt to run these commands. However, it could be fun inspiration on what Git command you could make next!

I used the following microphones in roughly reverse order of my expectations of their quality: Blue Yeti via USB Plantronics headset via USB (no link as over 10 years old) Laptop (ASUS ZenBook UX550VD) internal mic Desktop mic on a Windows 10 PC via a jack plug (no link as over 10 years old) Phone (Samsung S9+) internal microphone Same phone but with T1 bluetooth earbuds All audio is mono. I used Audacity to record on my laptop at 44.1kHz. For the desktop mic I had to resort to using my son's desktop Windows 10 PC and Windows recording app which defaulted to 48kHz and I think it was the app rather than the mic that resulted in the surprisingly poor quality. It definitely sounds like some kind of noise gate is being applied but I didn't dig around to see what settings were available. For my phone's built-in mic I used Samsung's voice recording app which I presume came pre-installed on the phone. Recording via bluetooth on an android phone turned out to be tricky as the OS only wants you to use a bluetooth microphone for calls however I found an app called Bluetooth Headset Voice Recorder and then enabled call audio on bluetooth and was able to record (the rubbish) audio. I edited this show in audacity and contrary to my normal practice I did not remove noise from any of the recordings so that you can hear any hiss in all its glory. I did however tweak the gain on each track manually so that they were about the same volume.

Confusing plurals In this episode, the fourth of this series, I’m looking at some words that have singular and plural forms that are very different. These lead to a lot of confusion as we’ll see. I also want to look at the way that English is evolving in some very strange and apparently senseless ways! Personal note: I notice I started preparing this show in 2019; unfortunately, COVID messed up my productivity for the next two years, but I hope I can now begin to be productive again! Long notes I have provided detailed notes as usual for this episode, and these can be viewed by following the full notes link. Links Plural of thesis: Grammar Monster This link has some good advice for dealing with weird plurals, though some you just have to remember, there are no rules!
