kubernetes.literaturetime

Clock using time quotes from literature, based on work and idea by JohannesNE, which in turn was based on work and idea by Jaap Meijers and E-reader clock.

This is the k3s.io kubernetes definitions for getting literature.artsoftheinsane.com up and running on a kubernetes cluster.

The two applications needed are

I have added some quotes to this list and further cleaned up the list to uniformly use " and ', this is then by way of smartypants transformed to the correct typography in the final render on screen.

The origin of the literature quotes are, and I quote from https://www.instructables.com/Literary-Clock-Made-From-E-reader/

In 2011, newspaper The Guardian asked its readers to submit quotes from books which mention times. They wanted to build an installation for a literary festival. So they have two versions of a list on their website (1, 2).

I combined the two lists, cleaned them up, added a few times I found myself, and turned them into one CSV file.

Unfortunately the list does not cover all minutes of the day. I worked around this by using some quotes more than once, for instance if it can be used both in the AM and PM. More vague time indications can be used around a certain time, so this quote from Catcher in the Rye is used at 9.58AM: "I didn't sleep too long, because I think it was only around ten o'clock when I woke up ... "

All of this running on a k3s.io kubernetes cluster on top of a couple of raspberry pi's.
