It’s looking like a big September coming up for me with the probable release of iPadOS (for my iPad), iOS13 (for my iPhone) and the remainder of Season 1 of Disenchantment (for my eyes and ears). Exciting times!
I recently read Martin Wainwright’s book on the venerable Mini titled “A Mini Adventure: The Iconic Small Car” (ISBN 9781781317112). It was a thoroughly enjoyable read, an entertaining combination of the history of the Mini and it’s status today.
The new iPad (iPad 6th Generation (128GB)) has been fantastic. I’m now hanging out for some of the goodies promised in iOS 13 (or iPadOS as it may be)…
Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the keyboard/case I selected to go with it (Logitech Slim Folio iPad Keyboard Case). Firstly, the top part of the keyboard seemed to rub on the iPad screen (thankfully only damaging the screen protector). Secondly, the keys are quite fragile and it wasn’t long before one had popped off after the mechanism had broken. To be fair I may have gotten unlucky, plenty of other people online recommend this keyboard/case.
After abandoning the keyboard/case I purchased an STM case and an external Logitech K380 Bluetooth keyboard. Both are going well.
After a number of years on Blogger I have decided to host this blog on my own domain using WordPress.
Stay tuned, some new posts are on the way!
If you require an SD card interface for your Arduino project I highly recommend purchasing an Arduino with one built-in. It took three attempts to get an SD card interface added to my basic Arduino Mega:
I would have been better off spending the extra coin on a Mega with the SD card interface built-in and reclaiming most of my weekend…
In no particular order, my 2019 targets are:
I’ve finally updated my iPad from an original iPad Mini (64GB) to a new iPad 6th Generation (128GB). The old iPad Mini was struggling with software updates and would not run the latest iOS. I’ve paired the new iPad with a Logitech Slim Folio iPad Keyboard Case.
This blog post was created on the new kit. I’ll post updates and reviews as I go.
