In this week’s show:-

• We talk about about what we’ve been doing including nothing, cleaning out the spare room to make a study, installing f.lux, updating to Ubuntu Maverick and breaking it.
• We interview the fantastic Kovid Goyal, developer of Calibre, the cross-platform ebook management software.

Note Our interview with Kovid was done internationally and using a cellphone so the quality of the audio isn’t as great as we’d like. Apologies for that, we hope it doesn’t detract from your enjoyment of the interview.
