OPERATIONS: I need to get back into scripting today, fill out an outline, continue dev on a few things, still waiting on responses to a couple of emails, and I need to connect a drive of reprint material to a new publisher….
STATUS:

I have a terrible weakness for weird Chinese tech stuff. And, as I said in the newsletter at the weekend, I would like more options for non-networked music listening while I move. So I picked up a supposedly lossless digital audio reader, SD cards and a card writer for it, as well as some earbuds to test, a case for SD cards, and, while I was at it, some more of the gel pens I like and a pendant I saw.

I’ve already tested the audio player – the UI is a little annoying, but the sound is gorgeous. The extra earbuds I bought don’t have left and right marked on them, which is a thing I peculiarly personally always find maddening, but if I can figure the workings of the player out a bit better, I should have everything I need.

Inbox 90 – things are speeding up.
