Learning back button focus. 🤯
-
I’m having such a hard time buying a new digital camera. I don’t know why.
-
I’ll say it again. Blogs are the best. I’ll go one step further, personal websites are the best. Self expression in web form.
-
I wish WordPress had an easier way to repost things like most platforms do. I’m pretty jealous of Tumblr’s reblog feature. I used to painstakingly repost things. But, I’d like to do a bit more.
-
Don’t sleep on Tumblr. If you haven’t tried the app in a while it is worth a look. Lots of great content.
-
I might have a new coding project to release in about a week. I’ll want you all to try it. 😊
-
Cutting my own hair. Hard to believe I’ve been doing this for over a decade.
-
I no longer need to choose between shooting black and white or color.
-
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.
-
I published a new photo series Sandbridge Beachhouses into my portfolio (and on Flickr, IG, Tweet). Click the image to see more of them.
-
No Time To Die was just OK.
-
Digital Ocean’s free static site hosting is a very quick and easy way to deploy small JavaScript-only apps.
-
Penelope update, November 2021.
-
I wonder which Micro.blog member lives closest to me?
-
If you’re reading this and are a Digital Ocean guru, I’d love your help. I have 3 droplets and 1 app and I’d love to see if I have them configured properly, make sure they are up-to-date, etc.
-
Deleting data from Google Photos is criminally difficult.
-
I’m going to try to wait a few months before updating to macOS Monterey. Especially after reading reports like this. Last year I was able to wait until February.
-
I’ll be live on Instagram tonight with a friend in Oregon. We will be scanning negatives, developing film, etc. Join us at 7pm eastern.
-
Where I was for a week.
-
I’ve turned off cross-posting to Twitter from my blog. I found it caused me to hit ‘publish’ less often.
-
Anyone else on Big Sur have to force quit Finder once a week to get Airdrop from Finder work again? Just me?
