Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Burglar — Maurice Leblanc
This is a book that i used for typing practice over at TypeLit.
It’s rather an enjoyable way to read a book, while at the same time being incredibly useful in improving ones typing.
This book is quite a good find. The mysterious Arsene Lupin is the ultimate rascal as he goes about relieving the rich and famous of France of their valuables: a joy to read about.
As to the typing experience, it’s a rather difficult book to type as it is full of French words and names, but a fun challenge and great typing practice. So i present it to you totally recommended, both as a great read and also great typing practice: what’s not to like?

PCB: 5t4n5-Macropad-18-3 Rev 1
Some more pcb porn. This time it’s for my new macropad that i’ve just started building.
Because i wanted the whole thing as low profile as i can get it, i had to make separate pcb’s for the switches and the rotary encoders, as i wanted the rotary encoders to sit down inside the board as low as possible . . .
They’re both double sided so i can build the macropads left or right handed by simply turning the boards over. You have to order a minimum of five boards so i’m going to have 4 sets left over so it seemed silly to make them all one sided.
The build pics will be coming whenever i get it finished.
Bye for now.

A Strange Country — Muriel Barbery
The Proof House — K. J. Parker
The trilogy comes to an end, and what an end it was.
It’s been a long journey with all kinds of shenanigans and twists and turns along the way, and i was never really aware of where the story was going and how it was ultimately going to conclude — which is a good thing. So i won’t spoil it for anyone by giving away the ending.
Anyway, in the last book, we left off with all our favourite characters scattering to the four winds, and in this book we soon find them again getting up to their usual shenanigans. Bardas has found himself another war with lots of killing, death and mayhem to get involved in, which, as usual is the centre piece of the story as it drags everyone else in. So there’s plenty of great story telling to keep you rolling along until the end.
For me, this has been a great trilogy that i totally recommend if you enjoy good historical war fighting stuff with a nice dose of magical interference thrown in to stir things up and cause a fair bit of chaos.
