This is Hacker Public Radio episode 4103 for Wednesday the 24th of April 2024.
|
|
Today's show is entitled What's in My Bag.
|
|
It is part of the series What's in My Toolkit.
|
|
It is the first show by Newhost Dave Hengley and is about five minutes long.
|
|
It carries a clean flag.
|
|
The summary is an examination of the bag I use when out on the road.
|
|
Hi Hacker's.
|
|
This is my first ever show for Hacker Public Radio and keeping in tradition it's what's
|
|
in my bag.
|
|
So I don't really use my bag very often.
|
|
So this is not going to be very interesting episode I'm afraid.
|
|
I do use it when I'm on the road travelling and that's usually I've been just visiting
|
|
people or if I'm at a comic convention I'll have the bag with me and I have this very
|
|
specific though there so let's talk about that shall we.
|
|
First up is the bag itself.
|
|
Now the bag is an Estara laptop messenger bag and it'll take a 17 inch sort of laptop
|
|
bag.
|
|
I've had it probably eight or nine years ago.
|
|
It's a gift from my mother-in-law for Christmas and it's brilliant.
|
|
It's got loads of pockets inside the main bag itself, some on the sides, a little zip
|
|
one in there as well.
|
|
Lots of little copy holes to put things in.
|
|
So what sort of things have I got in my bag?
|
|
Well if I'm travelling to a convention or I'm going to be on the road for a long time
|
|
then there'll be a laptop in the bag.
|
|
A laptop is an Apollo M200 entryway laptop.
|
|
Interestingly enough it's a laptop I won it in the competition from the Ubuntu UK podcast
|
|
I did a comic and it was deemed a winner for their competition and so I got a laptop.
|
|
Also in the bag will be the charger.
|
|
There'll be a mouse which is a Microsoft wireless mouse of $5,000.
|
|
There'll be an A5 Notepad and pen, it's got a little fold on there, just with some pockets
|
|
in there for like putting business cards or jotting down ideas like this when I'm on the
|
|
road.
|
|
There's going to be a couple of propelling pencils, like disposable ones so you can sort
|
|
of get these packs of about 12 sort of paper make ones where you twist the barrel.
|
|
So there's a few of those in there.
|
|
There's going to be a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 2014 edition.
|
|
I bought this that four years ago, I used it for model rings.
|
|
It's the best Samsung Galaxy tablet 10.1 edition, there was an earlier version and that
|
|
would spontaneously brick and I went through two of those before I realised that the 2014
|
|
edition was like way more stable.
|
|
I use it every day for drawing.
|
|
It's got a 128 gig SD card on there and I just moved it on and off the main storage
|
|
of the tablet as I need it and then I can hook that up to my computer using like a little
|
|
trans flash card or even just a HDMI, a USB cable.
|
|
Also in the laptop will be an A4 light box and it sounds like a big thing, it's a sheet
|
|
of plastic with a micro USB port on the side, you put it in there, there's a series of LEDs
|
|
at the side which lights up and evenly illuminates the sheet of the specs that you can then
|
|
put sheets of paper on top and trace with.
|
|
Along with that there are four mini bulldog clips, so if I'm doing any sort of work on paper
|
|
I can carry on working.
|
|
There'll be an A4 folder with some paper in there.
|
|
Any work that I'm working on that I need to keep off my computer so they'll be backed
|
|
up onto USB sticks so I'll take those with me as well.
|
|
And then I will be bringing with me a power bank and in you power bank it's a B1, B4,
|
|
1, 10,000 milliamp power power bank, it's got a USB C in and 2 USB out, I use it at conventions
|
|
to power two micro controllers doing some display stuff on stands and it's brilliant.
|
|
It'll go for two days, for eight hours powering these micro controllers, there'll be loads
|
|
of power left in there to recharge my phone if I need it and it takes next to no time
|
|
to charge up on anything so it's perfect for that sort of thing.
|
|
What else is in my bag?
|
|
What else is in there?
|
|
Well there's also a phone charger, the standard phone charger sort of wall walk thing, there'll
|
|
be a couple USB cables in there as well some USB extended cables as well so I can sort
|
|
of use the bank to power the controllers or I can use it to charge up my phone or I can
|
|
use it to power the light box as well.
|
|
So that's what's in my bag, this is my first episode, it's a very short one I'm sure.
|
|
Thanks for listening and maybe you'll find it interesting, thanks for now.
