Hey @OriginalGriff
Months ago I was chatting tp you on here about a replacement Tab for the Nexus 7's we have in the house. Can't remember which Lenovo one it was, but it was a bit piss weak. So I ended up getting a Lenovo Tab3 10 Business for the Missus and a Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 for me. Have stuck a 64GB and 128GB Micro SD card respectively in each.
I now have a bunch of eBooks from a free Microsoft give away, a Humble Book Bundle Cybersecurity Wiley purchase and now some Linux Magazines. These are in epub, mobi and pdf formats.
So I am looking at getting ES File Explorer Pro (currently $0.20) to get stuff on to the Tab from the network and am looking at you to recommend the software I should install to be able to read the different book formats I have.
Any other toys/utilities you want to recommend? Rugby League World Cup (reckon 80% of the players for all teams are actually Aussie) starts tonight so will be watching, drinking and playing with the Play Store and Android.

ES File explorer ... I used to love that. But it went all "crapware" and shart all over the machine with total garbage, so I don't use it. I was planning on upgrading to the paid version, but that annoyed me so much I replaced it with File Manager HD instead. It's not quite as friendly, but it does the job.
I use FB reader - it reads PDF, epub, mobi, pretty much anything I've thrown at it.
Other than that it's games, "Our Groceries" (shopping list app - works via a server so your list is shared between all devices, including the PC and Herself's tablet), WPF Office, and HERE WeGo for nav.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

For $0.20 I'm still going to give the paid version a run.

I'll install this and see how well it goes.

I've got half a dozen paid for games that have hardly been used, won't be adding any more any time soon.
Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry to come back and rehash, but I am now installing. Do you use the Premium version of FB Reader? Do you think it is worth it?

I use the free version - the paid version doesn't add much (except the PDF reading I now notice, it used to). The WPS office does handle PDF well, as well as DOCX and XLSX.

Love the new handle. Did pub trivia on Tuesday and called our team the same thing. Wonderful to see the guy running it trying to say our name without it sounding rude! Hilarious.

I'd like my old one back but can't get it. Although I'm @Michael-Martin and was the first one of that name here, they have allowed someone else to take the display name after me. Maunder did put it back but left out the Bold and Italic mark-ups, bastard.

That's why I have used it here, I can just imagine the Yanks sounding it out in their heads and then light bulb, they get what it says.

Porky's (1981) - IMDb[^]
That's the first time I heard it! I recall the film was hilarious at the time but probably awful now.

Saw that when I was 14 or 15 on VHS, never laughed so hard in my life. Loved the Lassie scene where the old coach lost his suit sh*t and also where the female coach wanted a line up of student dicks.
Love that the Sheriff's real life name is Rick Butkus.

In the next couple of months, i will be working on a project that will require very solid understanding of DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), the formula language used throughout Power BI. It is also used by Power BI behind the scenes.
Do we have some good articles of this language on codeproject? I have looked around but can't seem to find any. Or does any one know of another site with excellent DAX material from where i can graduate as a DAX Ninja?

"... a closed enlivenment"
That's a rather amusing (presumably) auto-correction.

Auto-correction?
I took note of it as a new term to describe a VPN, nodding "OK, so that's what they call it in his environment. Maybe it is as descriptive as any other term...". As computer guys, we should be familiar with every new paradigm bringing in new terms for old concepts; it happens all the time.
If you have ever been developing software in a 'workspace' model, such as Smalltalk or APL, where you add and remove actors and functions and data structures like in a virtual world (such as Second Life), the term 'enlivenment' certainly isn't far fetched. Expanding the workspace from a single application one to a VPN is an obvious extension, and the term still fits.
It still could be an auto-correction, though. But a good one.
