Kindleberry "Paperwhite" Pi

Work in progress, I'll write this up properly when I'm done.

Almost all credit goes to @maxogden for putting me on to this and pointing me in the right direction for each of these items.

Prerequisites:

  • Raspberry Pi
  • Kindle Paperwhite freed from its locked down state (jailbroken) http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198446
    • You have to downgrade your Kindle to 5.3.1 to install the current jailbreak; that's just a matter of getting the old version image, putting it on your Kindle via USB and telling it to install "upgrade". Then you put in the Jailbreak files, load the ebook and break.
  • Your kindle will be quick to detect an upgrade is available so it'll want to upgrade soon afterwards but the jailbreak will last but you have to reinstall the developer certificates so it's a bit of a pain but doable. Find all the instructions on the mobileread.com forums and wiki.

exploring what a `currentThis` might look like in JS
// This is a theoretical exploration of something that could
// be added to JS. It borrows from JS events which have both a
// `target` and `currentTarget` element, which distinguish between
// the direct target of an event and the delegated parent handling
// the event, respectively.
// The idea is to distinguish between `this` and `currentThis`,
// respectively, as...
//
// `this`: the initial containing object for a call that initiates a

cons car and cdr implemented as javascript functions. cribbed from SICP http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-14.html#%_thm_2.4then implemented a bunch of functions just for fun.
// clean and pure:
function cons(x, y) {
return function(pick) {
return pick(x, y);
}
}
// does more stuff:
function cons(x, y) {
var fn = function(pick) {
// clean and pure:
function cons(x, y) {
return function(pick) {
return pick(x, y);
}
}
// does more stuff:
function cons(x, y) {
var fn = function(pick) {

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
