I’ve been using my current desktop for almost 8 years now and it’s still running quite fine! In order to support 3 monitors, including at least one 4K, the graphics card did get an update to a GTX 950 a while back. But other than that it’s still exactly the same and quite performant.

Development is snappy enough, browsing still superb and doing some light modifications in Lightroom or Photoshop is doable.

So, why do I want to upgrade? Well, I want to focus a bit more on semi-pro photography. While it is quite doable to import and modify photo’s on the current system, it’s too slow if you need to do this often.

Being a proper nerd I have read almost every news article, announcement and review of all of the hardware which was released or will be released in the near future. All in order to make the ‘best’ build I can afford.

From the information I had gathered, the ‘smart’ choice for a processor appears to be AMD. Those processors are rather cheap, have got quite a bit of threads and a decent clock speed. The main problem with them is�they aren’t Intel. You can call me stupid, but I still prefer to have an Intel processor in my system.

For some time now I’ve been in possession of the Sony PRS-T1 e-reader. E-readers are great devices and I find it much easier to read from an e-ink screen compared to a regular tablet screen.

However, there’s one thing which is really annoying specific to this Sony PRS-T1. It’s the home screen. Lucky for me the hardware runs on a modified Android OS, so there have been a lot of people modifying the looks and feels of the device. There’s a nice read of hacks and tweaks which can be found on this page.

One of the tweaks which can be found over there is changing the behavior of the ‘Recently Added’ pane on the home screen. If you read a couple of books at the same time, it’s better to see the ‘Recently Viewed’ books on the home screen. That way it’s possible to quickly navigate to the books you are reading.

To change this behavior you need to access one of the databases on the device and create a new trigger in it.

The databases on the device are (similar?)https://Lite](https://www.sqlite.org/) databases, therefore you can connect to them using the SQLite Administrator. After having installed this tool you can just open the books database on the device:
