I just discovered that this engineer’s scale ruler divides inches into 10 units per inch. Now I want all rulers to work this way. (If we can’t have the metric system here, that is.)
I used to be so much cooler
This all started with the best of intentions. Chaos ensued.
It’s feeling like an HCB kind of day. Photo books are the best.
Some “tools” can also be wonderfully tactile works of art. write.as/jackbaty/…
I would like to declare Sundays to be my “Stay Away From Screens Day” but I know me. Also, I’ve been sitting at this screen since 5:00 am with no signs of leaving.
I’ve been happy with NetNewsWire, so when my Feedbin subscription came up for renewal today, I closed the account. They sent me an email about it. Normal. But what was unexpected was they also attached my feeds as an OPML file, just in case. I didn’t ask them to. That was nice.
I keep breaking links and wish I’d do better. write.as/jackbaty/…
I had a screen protector leftover from the Q2 and it happened to fit on the M10-R so I carefully cleaned everything and applied it just so. Of course there’s a problem spot and I can’t decide if I’ll be able to ignore it or if I need to buy another protector.
The irony of my posting a link to this here is not lost on me, but: write.as/jackbaty/…
Recently discovered that Write.as has a “tiny” version of every blog. Mine is tiny.write.as/jackbaty and I kind of like it :).
I started naming files using CamelCase.jpg instead of lowercase-with-hypens.jpg and it’s my favorite new thing.
Thanks to all the recent mentions around here, I’m going to try blogging with Write.as for a while. Haven’t posted there since 2018. It’s come a long way. It’ll be fun! 😘. I’m at write.as/jackbaty/ for now. I can’t help it.
I’ve had a matte cutter for 10 years and today was the first time I used it. Pretty easy. I cut custom mattes for 2 prints. Only had to redo them twice. Still learning!
I made a camera-selling mistake recently and today I’ve corrected that mistake. All is right, again.
I printed a recent self-portrait on fiber-based paper in the darkroom and was a little surprised to find that I liked it much better than the inkjet prints I’d made. It’s now matted, framed, and hung and it makes me want to make more of them.
I snapped this photo yesterday of E.’s snack nook and was reminded of my long-dormant Refrigerator Project on Flickr. It’s like a family time machine.
Journaling is fun. It’s a great way to put the little Instax printer to use, also. My big journal has become a sort of scrapbook with supporting commentary.
I wish I needed one of these.
After a few days, I’ve fallen so in love with the i3 and Workspace setup in Regolith Linux that I’m questioning everything. I need to calm down.
