Dwayne Harris’ typical day
Dwayne Harris': Now I “work” at pretty much any time: weekdays, weekends, afternoons, late at night, whenever. But at times that work best for me, in the priority/order I think makes sense,…
Blog
Posts, notes, and things worth sharing.
Longer thoughts, quick observations, photographs, and links. All in one place, newest first.
I’m working on a second theme for both Micro.blog and WordPress. This time, it will come to Micro.blog members first (free for members) and then to WordPress for an introductory price. The M.b version is almost ready for beta testing.
Just released the sixth major build of Cypress for WordPress. It includes an image count on portfolio items (see homepage). This is something I missed from my previous theme. It is optional!
The tooltips in Apple’s emoji picker on macOS are infuriating. (If I’m complaining about something this trivial and fatuous, my life must be amazing today. And it is!)
But she’s a girl on Johnny.Decimal
But she's a girl…: Things were scattered all over the place, randomly distributed among badly-named folders, and often duplicated. It took my several days of chipping away at it in spare moments…

Jerome Carter on the price of film
Jerome Carter: Film is expensive, and I readily admit that it is a self-indulgent exploration for no purpose other than the sheer existential joy it brings. That sounds about right.
Jordan McChesney on impressing others
Jordan McChesney, writing for PetaPixel: Then, around June of 2020, something changed. I decided to focus less on what my fellow photographers thought, and decided to focus more of my attention on…
What I saw somewhat recently #73: March 31, 2021
If you can believe it, this is my first WIS post from in 2021. I've been keeping a small backlog of links that I've wanted to share but mostly I've shared links…
This morning I had a hard time finding a dead simple Apache setup using Docker Compose and a volume linked to my local filesystem. So I created one. In case you need it. May future searchers find it.
James Gurney on NFTs
James Gurney, in a reasoned post explaining NFTs to his rather large art-focused audience: Does it make sense for every artist to leap into NFTs right now? I don't think it make…
A few quick notes about building Micro.blog themes
It took me just a few days to convert the Cypress WordPress theme for use on Micro.blog. Since the layout, design, and styling for most elements was already done – the main…
Some updates to Cypress for Micro.blog on the way including archive page, some search styling, and pagination thanks to @endonend.
Seth Godin on NFTs and my background
Seth Godin: The more time and passion that creators devote to chasing the NFT, the more time they’ll spend trying to create the appearance of scarcity and hustling people to believe that…

Iris Photos for macOS
Iris: Iris is pragmatic and does not impose a certain workflow on you. Just point the app at your photo library on disk, and Iris will take it from there. We also…
Look at less photos
Look at less photos, but look at each one with more intent. Given the accessibility of photography I can quickly look at 1,000 images from other photographers in a single sitting and…

I have but a single 8×10 print available currently; the Studebaker – which is a print I have hanging in my house. Starting April 5 I’m going to limit each print I offer to a run of 5 or 10 prints. Then I plan on never offering them again.
I’ve added commercial use licenses for the Wayne County Courthouse photos I created in January. They’ve been re-edited and made larger using Adobe’s Super Resolution feature. If you bought these files you could make your own prints.
Intel cannot compete with Apple. No matter how hard they go at them in their marketing, they do not stand a chance.
Chia
Chia, from the creator of BitTorrent: A new blockchain and smart transaction platform that is easier to use, more efficient, and secure. Told ya. You can say you heard about Chia here…
Johnny•Decimal
Johnny•Decimal: When we kept everything on paper, organised people had these things called filing cabinets. They stored all of their documents in them in a structured way so that they could find…
The more I write down my photo library management workflow the more I realize I may need professional psychiatric help. Is there a particular discipline of psychiatry for this?
