Time spent
If you are curious about how I spend my time, as I know handfuls of people on earth are, here is today’s answer: Bkrpr Blog – Paperback testing begins in earnest.
The longer answer is that it is a device I’ve been working on since the summer to more easily convert my paper books into a digital form. I’ve had test hardware working for a number of months but things were going pretty slowly until James decided to build some image processing scripts to accompany the effort. Those scripts became a fully fledged python application around the end of the year, and we’ve since begun documenting the project in earnest.
The bkrpr wiki has all the relevant links, and a nice front page YouTube video of the device in use. Or a very poor YouTube video of the inside of my room, depending on how you look at it.
If you’re curious to check it out, take a look at the site, or grab the processed test pages online or in pdf.
