RIP Radio Downloader
Thanks to some kind posters here, I used to use a wonderful piece of software called Radio Downloader. It enabled me to save any radio programme from the BBC website as an MP3 file, so that I could listen to it later on an Ipod, perhaps a long way from an internet connection. Sweet.

Is this possible? I've just got a Kindle Fire because the screen on my old Kindle gave up the ghost, and I can't face re-downloading 1600 books one-by-one and having to put them into new folders.

Using Galaxy Note for drawing
My DD would love to have a graphics tablet for drawing (she's 14, so just about to start Art GCSE). I've been looking at Wacom bamboo pen and touch tablets. I can imagine that it is quite tricky to get used to drawing on a tablet and seeing the result on a screen, so the thought crossed my mind that it would be easier on a…
