Slightly confusing title but who's been there know's what Im after. I'm trying to use Calibre to fetch the news and deliver to my Kindle during the night, so in the morning all my news are on the Kindle.
So the workflow for this is built around Calibre, which fetches news automatically from different sources like WSJ, CNN, whatever, converts them to ebook format and sends them to your name@kindle.com address, which then syncs it with the device.
All good in theory, in practice you need to make sure your Macbook is on during the night. Also the wireless needs to work obviously. With the lid closed, after some research I found out I need InsomniaX program and also I installed Caffeine just in case. So I was all set to give it a go.
What happened in the morning is that I hardly woke up my MBP from sleep, I even thought it's dead for a while. When reset, the date was set to 12/31/2000, wireless disconnected and the default wireless forgotten so I had to reconnect and retype the password.
Huge mess in two words. Has anyone had experience with setting up the MBP to run non stop even with the lid closed? Anyone had experience with Calibre and auto news delivery?
Thanks
