Apr 12, 2021 Note 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.
Apr 7, 2021 Note 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!
Apr 6, 2021 Note 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!)
Mar 30, 2021 Note 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.
Mar 28, 2021 Note Some updates to Cypress for Micro.blog on the way including archive page, some search styling, and pagination thanks to @endonend.
Mar 22, 2021 Note 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…
Mar 21, 2021 Note 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.
Mar 19, 2021 Note Intel cannot compete with Apple. No matter how hard they go at them in their marketing, they do not stand a chance.
Mar 17, 2021 Note 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?
Mar 16, 2021 Note "If you’re a designer, photographer, or artist using WordPress and are on the hunt for a clean, beautiful theme to showcase your work, take a look at Cypress, a premium theme by my friend Colin Devroe." — @mikehaynes
Mar 13, 2021 Note Prepping photos for display and sale on my site is a lot of work. But I'm getting better at it. I'm even including a few secret tidbits with the sale. Its getting fun! Just put up a new set!
Mar 6, 2021 Note I have two invites to Clubhouse, if anyone hasn’t had the chance to try it and would like to. Send me an email with your phone number if you’d like to try it out.
Mar 3, 2021 Note The final show stopping bug in Cypress has been fixed. So now I'll back away from it for a little while, give it a second look, and wait for feedback from the beta testers. But the current build is a release candidate. I should…
Mar 2, 2021 Note Trudged through greater than knee-high snow on a hike this weekend. Wiped me out! Could it be that I'm getting older? Nah, I blame quarantine.
Feb 26, 2021 Note I think Super Follow and Communities both make total sense for Twitter. They need to make money on things other than ads.
Feb 25, 2021 Note The new hotness over the last year has been to move out of cities and into more rural areas. I've lived here all my life and really enjoy the lifestyle it affords. So, welcome city folk. Make yourself at home. And relax.
Feb 23, 2021 Note I'm close to needing a beta tester or two for my next project release. Can you help? You'll need; a WordPress install. It is a theme made for people with visual portfolios (photographers, painters, designers, etc.). If that is you? Please reach out.
Feb 21, 2021 Note A camera system that I hope to use for the next 40 years arrived yesterday. The Mamiya 645. Left: Pro TL, Right: 1000s
Feb 20, 2021 Note As the snow melts and freezes and melts and freezes the deer have a tough time digging for food. So each February that I am able, I like to put out some corn for them. We now have four regular visitors at about 3am.
Feb 11, 2021 Note I've updated to Big Sur. I've been running for a little while. It is very good. It is also stable. And I like the refreshed UI.
Feb 9, 2021 Note Our kitchen garbage can has a robot in it. It is a terrible robot and it is terrible at its job. Some things simply do not need robots in them.
Feb 1, 2021 Note Uninstalling Twitter has been a boon to my productivity. It has also already impacted my ability to focus. I started a book!
Jan 23, 2021 Note I shouldn’t share my film negative scans at all. I should only scan prints I’ve made in the darkroom. That’s the true photo.
Jan 21, 2021 Note Spotify is (was?) the best place to listen to music. It is, unequivocally, the worst place to listen to podcasts. They’ve spent hundreds of millions of dollars and their experience is the worst. I hope they are working on something great.
Nov 8, 2020 Note Worst iOS feature by far; you open an app and you’re no longer where you left off. 13 years in this should be fixed.
Nov 4, 2020 Note What I'm looking for in a note taking app: works exactly like Simplenote, except it saves Markdown files to disk. Does this really not exist?
Nov 3, 2020 Note I have an overwhelming number of personal technology tasks that I'd like to tackle that I'm not motivated to do any of them.
Nov 1, 2020 Note My iPhone updated itself to 14.1 last night on its own. I have never had automatic updates on. That is very weird.
