I finally returned to Mersea Island as I had promised myself, the last time was a couple of weeks before the first lock-down. This time though I managed to make it round the whole island in an afternoon during daylight, I do believe it has something to do with the time of the year. There were a couple of minors for this podcast, the first being the failure of the recording as I was walking round and you will here this on the podcast, the second , as I started recording my OS app stopped recording my journey and concentrated on the recording the ill-fated audio. Not deterred, however, I would say it was and excellent start to the new series of ‘hikenpod’ adventures.

Mersea Island has a beach called Monkey Beach, I love this place!

Why is there a ‘hikenpod’ episode being published here, well, it is unlikely anyone will listen to here, as my site is really only for me and secondly this is a short blog as well, so this is how I get away with it. I will not be making a habit out of the cross over.

Thank you for coming on the journey with me.

The Mersea Island Podcast – 4th February 2024

The Raspberry Pi 5 (Ubuntu)

Since I seem to only publish one of these podcasts per year, I return with another one and a brand new Raspberry pi to do it on.

I am going to try and only use (except for printing) my Raspberry pi 5 for all of my day to day computer use, that includes;

* Emails

* Research

* Podcast planning and writing

* Session planning and writing

* Audio recording, editing and publishing

* Logo and image design and publishing

* Story writing

* File management

* Show broadcasting

All of these task can be performed on a Pi 4… slowly, so on a 5 it should be a little easier but we will see.

For my work set up as mentioned in the podcast, I will still continue to use my Pi 4 with Android and carry out my working week there.

It’s got to be a favourite time of year.

All hail the jolly fat Man

The purpose of this post is , I cannot at the moment go out and hike, I am too unwell. I went for a walk today and did 21000 steps. I was encouraged by the mic on the OnePlus Nord phone, it’s not amazing by any suggestions but good enough to get me out of trouble should I forget the Tascam, or run out of batteries, we know that has happened before, several times.

The next podcast or the one after will be coming from CORNWALL! The long awaited big hike, that I feel I am now not ready for, yikes!!!

I attempted to visit the new forest with some success, I wanted to visit Highcliff beach and podcast from there, but the wind was so strong I could barely hear Lucas when he was standing next to me. I ended up abandoning that idea and recorded in the car slap bang in the middle of […]
