Beautiful. Melancholy. Rewards patience.
Poor Olaf
Trying something with Org-roam and Hugo baty.net/2022/publ…
This morning I thought, “Hey, I think I’d like to tinker with Linux” so I upgraded Regolith. Nope, it hung somewhere in the middle so I reinstalled it. Now, this happens if I try booting an encrypted disk.

Still amazing. Almost anything else you could spend an hour on would be worse.
This big guy is waiting patiently for when (if) I get a real darkroom one day.
The “dry side” of my darkroom is really just a bathroom closet, but I love it.
It’s Such a Beautiful Day (2012) directed by Don Hertzfeldt is still amazing. Almost anything else you could spend an hour on would be worse.
I’ve been using Emacs for 7 or 8 years now and yet I’m still new to Emacs.
I’ve been ironing fiber prints between two pieces of card stock and then pressing them under heavy books for a day or so. This gets them reasonably flat. Much better.
I’ve been dragging my feet on this little project. I’m too easily frustrated lately and I don’t want to throw anything against the wall just yet.
After a long search, I finally found someone willing to part with the 100mm helicoid threads for the Focomat. It’s coming from Germany and I really really hope I can make it work.

I see no evidence that anyone involved with making Amélie was responsible for this.
I went into the darkroom this morning to test a new safelight bulb and made a handful of 5x7 prints while I was in there. Darkroom prints are special. Not only because of how they look but because of what they are.
I need reminding often enough that I pinned it to the board.
D’ya ever feel like you deserve more Likes? Whenever I start to feel that way I want to delete my accounts.
My dad’s garage is like some sort of art installation. This wall is a Dali within a Dali.
Defrosting the little fridge I use for film.
Once I stopped worrying about making perfect, “archival-quality” prints, darkroom work got a lot more fun.
