Asides

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?
-
A few 2020 lockdown panoselfies. #panoselfie
-
I predict Adam Mosseri’s resignation within 90 days. He’s constantly saying things that make him the story rather than Instagram. I doubt Zuckerberg will put up with that for too long.
-
Is anyone giving consideration to using iCloud+ Mail to replace Gmail for Domains? I am.
-
App idea: Instagram but for photos.
-
Gut reaction to today’s Apple Event: Solid, reasonable updates but nothing amazing? Perhaps I have to dig deeper. I’m sure a lot of work went into the improvements.
-
I’ve added two new portfolio pieces to my site; Max and Anthony. More to come. You can see them on Instagram as well. Here are some photos from last night’s session in the darkroom.
-
Taking a few days off from the web. 👋
-
Watching Micro Camp videos.
-
Just re-upped our 1Password family plan for another year. A no-brainer. 1Password is so good.
-
Dug up a rather large, three-tiered Yellowjacket nest this morning before leaving for work.
-
Good murder mystery movies, fire them at me.
-
Oh crap. I have an idea.
-
I would like to take fall and winter off from my day job to work on my software projects.
-
The Pixel 6 seems pretty nice. I doubt Google’s SOC will compare to Apple’s SOC but I do think it is a meaningful update to the Pixel line.
-
OK, Apple. I have a very brief window where I might be able to expense a new 16″ M1 MacBook Pro. I’m totally happy with my current 16″ MBP but I wouldn’t mind far better battery life.
-
I do not like scroll jacking. Very seldom is it even “cool” when you see it. Most of the time it is simply hard to know how many times I have to scroll in order to see the next few words.
-
Was stung by a Yellowjacket yesterday. Why are wasps so mean?
-
No link list today, unfortunately. It has been a crazy day and I just don’t have the mental power to be in front of the computer any more today. 👋
-
Great Finals performance by the Bucks. But NBA foul calling is a mess.
-
Github user ElgranLoky set up a simple Docker container to run Unmark locally. I use Docker to run it locally as well for development (albeit with a slightly more complex set up). If you haven’t tried Unmark yet, you can run it locally for free, use it for free at unmark.it, or chip in a…
