Posts, notes, and things worth sharing.

Finally added Stripe as the default option to purchase things on my site (such as Cypress). PayPal is still an option. Apple Pay and Google Pay coming soon.

Fun Wordle method: Tell a bunch of friends to start with the same word. Levels the playing field and is a true competition for the day.

My next live stream and YouTube video will be on my culm dunes photo series. Should be fun.

Reminder: I’ll be live streaming a photo presentation at 6 eastern on Twitch. I expect it to be very boring. So stop by!

At least 6 deer bedded in the backyard night before last. Greener days are ahead my woodland friends.

Join me on Twitch this Sunday, March 13 at 6PM Eastern for a live stream discussion of my photo series The Skateboarders.

The Mac Studio looks like a fantastic product at every level. Great name, super powerful, great design, great price. And the display! If I wasn’t a laptop person, I’d be buying both right now.

66°F today. A teaser trailer for spring.

Ice skating commit log.

Noah hates printers too.

Discord and Slack are yet another silo. By all means have chats, but bring some of the content out to your blog!

Printers are terrible.

This weekend I cooked a smoked barbecue dinner, painted, read, worked in the darkroom, shopped w/ Eliza, got in the hot tub, ice skated, etc. Guess what I didn’t do? Look at any social media. Over 60 days now. Feels good.

🔒 SSL is back on cdevroe.com – I put that off way too long.

Scripted a quick security cam process on the Ubuntu laptop for outdoor cameras I plan to setup. Takes a photo every few seconds from multiple cameras. Now to find some POE IP cameras.

Both Cypress and Red Oak are now available as Micro.blog plugins. I’m planning on updating both to work with WordPress 5.9’s new site editing feature in the near future.

I’m still experimenting with Ubuntu via a virtual machine. Unlike macOS, core OS updates are very quick to install. It is refreshing. I think I’m ready to install it on an old laptop and, maybe, use it for a week for fun.

Pocket Casts must have had a bad sync because all of my old subscriptions just popped back up. NO. GET OUT OF HERE POCKET CASTS!

Photos for Mac tip: To delete auto-generated date folders in the source list drag them all into each other until they are all in one folder then delete that folder.

A few quick 35mm film snaps from October’s trip to Virginia.

Just pushed an update to all Cypress for WordPress owners for social icon support for Flickr, GitHub, Mastodon, TikTok, and YouTube. For December, use dec21 at checkout for 50% off.

There should be a system wide preference to turn off scroll jacking.

Weekend posts are the best because I get to see people’s little side hobbies.

Add hl=languagecode to any Instagram URL to load a language. Example: My profile in Dutch.

Mastodon.social seems super slow this morning. Is this really because Jack stepped down as Twitter CEO? Or coincidental?

Sponsorship of The Watercolor Gallery is now booked through January. After 10+ years of curating the gallery I’m glad I started sponsorship this year. If you’d like to support the gallery monetarily you can sponsor or donate.

I miss spaghetti code. Frameworks, structure, unit testing, documentation… so boring!

Did some work on The Watercolor Gallery today with new features, spruced up some old paintings, updated the about page, added a donate page, and a bunch more.

I’m thinking of attempting to recruit a bunch of photographers for #FlickrFebruary where we only post to Flickr and no where else all month. Thoughts?

Yesterday I published an interview with the NFT artist and watercolorist AnimaToey from Bangkok, Thailand over on The Watercolor Gallery.
