  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Good luck, I'm sure you'll be happy with the beads.

    What base station, Nut? As the base is what is going to communicate with the computer...

    Cedar Trays

    As others have noted, make sure your hygros are reading correctly. Change their batteries if you haven't done so in a while and recalibrate. Also, you mention you are using the gel humidification stuff (for lack of a better descriptor, lol). Where is it? Is it just one jar in one place or do...

    Traceable Hygrometer

    There isn't a lot of detail on there. It says something about "monitoring conditions over short or long periods", but doesn't go into HOW that is done. It sounds cool, but in reading over the info carefully it doesn't sound like it's much more than a remote Hygro/Thermo set up. The one I have...

    So what'cha readin'???

    Awesome. What a great story (stories if followed with the Lord of the Rings) for this.

    Relative Humidity

    Cool! They certainly don't hurt matters. WITHOUT THE SCENT OBVIOUSLY! LOL.

    Relative Humidity

    That is definitely fine. YOu will find that most here prefer a slightly lower humidity than 70%. That being said, and I'm not knocking the gel, I would look into beads (Heartfelt is who I use, though I understand there are some others out there now). Easier to deal with in my opinion and much...

    Relative Humidity

    That works as well, but there are two issues. First, I don't think the Oust fans are even available anymore? Two, keeping track of those suckers and replacing batteries is a PITA.

    Relative Humidity

    You are unlikely to notice a huge difference. It depends on how large, "large, is, but still. The technical answer to your question is that humid air is lighter than dry air and will rise (I know, it sounds contradictory, but is true). All of that being said, my suggestion to you would be to...

    Transition to different humidor (mushy cigars?)

    What Dave said. I can't fathom this one. I suppose it is possible that these sticks need less humidity than the others, but for it to be that drastic is strange. OK, a few more questions. What's they humidification media look like? Is it chock-full of moisture to the point it can't pull...

    I use it on occasion and I like it. If you think you want to be able to check up and post on your phone get it. It's much better than just using the internet to do so, IMHO.

    Transition to different humidor (mushy cigars?)

    The standard questions: are your hygro's calibrated and if so, how long ago did you do so for each (they are digital right?)? Both humidors kept in the same environment (temperature)? The situation you describe is certainly odd...especially if you are saying they did not feel spongy when you...

    Curved Bill, Yea or Nea

    I remember when the curved bill thing started...or at least when I noticed it. I just can't look at a ballcap anymore without thinking the bill should be curved. I would never in a million years wear one flat and I think those who do look horrible (no disrespect meant, I just don't care for...

    Kindle

    Honestly, that is why I would want it. Beyond that, you need to move to a true tablet.

    Kindle

    Here's a review of the first color e-ink equipped reader that came out. Everything I've read about it says, "meh". I'm not saying they won't try it, I'm just not sure the technology is there yet.

    Kindle

    Yes, definitely noticed that I seem to read faster. Where are you hearing about the color Kindle? I've heard rumors and hopes, but the last thing I saw said we would be lucky to even see a new Kindle this year, let alone color.

    Kindle

    You can get PDFs on to the Kindle, but it's not one of their completely supported formats. You either have to email the PDF to your kindle email address so they can reformat and send it to your Kindle or get yourself one of the various software programs that will do the conversion for you. As...

    Kindle

    I can't knock the nook (ummm...yeah). Though really, I think it's major benefit is that it utilizes the most common formats for ebooks whereas the Kindle uses a proprietary format. So with the Nook you have more available including library ebook download rentals, which the Kindle doesn't have.
