Cold and dreary again this morning, and there was even a thin film of ice on the car windscreen so I had to deploy the scraper for the first time in weeks. It looks like the Easter weekend is going to be a bit of a washout, but that's only to be expected of an English bank holiday weekend. I'll be happy with a few days off and a bit of a rest, I think.
The software build at work got pushed back to the afternoons that we could get a few more things in. I think that we only missed one feature and picked up one bug that's been there for a while. Par for the course.
We bought Philip Pullman's new book 'The Good Man Jesus and The Scoundrel Christ' as an enhanced edition audiobook/ebook from iTunes yesterday. This is an excellent way of buying a book, and for your £9.99 you get the full text of the book in an ebook reading app, the audio book which synchronises to the text and various other videos and interviews as extras. This means that you can switch between the text and audio at any point, set your own bookmarks and notes and search the text too. It's excellent value for money, I think.

I love Philip Pullman - can't wait to read the new book. Is iTunes' ebook in a format that Stanza can read? Or do I have to download another app from iTunes?
It's a self contained app that has everything in it. The site above has a video to show you what it looks like.
Thanks.
