While batch applying some settings I copied a burn mask to a photo without the subject and ended up with a virtually dusty floor.

Related: nobody should be allowed to move mid-month. My spreadsheets for rent and utilities does not handle prorating very well.

Nothing like spending Sunday reconciling rent payments.

I spent yesterday falling down a rabbit hole by asking "I wonder if there's any open source invoicing software?"

Turns out: there is, I can self-host it, and now I can accept Apple Pay from clients!

Found a new udon recipe today. It’s easy to make and delicious, I just had to make one note.

It goes without saying, but:

Fuck DRM.

I'm guessing the real culprit is DisplayPort, which is silly, because why would you use HDMI on a Desktop monitor?

Apparently I can’t watch Amazon Prime video over an Amazon Basics cable.

Why did I think trying to write my own command line table view was a good idea?
No part of that was a good idea.

We just got issued walkie-talkies at work, because the efficiency guy thinks garbled radio communication is going to be more efficient than a text message. Frankly I think pagers would have been more fun.

As much as I would love to blame Xcode for this one, the real culprit is corporate IT forcing password changes every six months that never quite work correctly.

I really ought to do a blog post about how I do my retouching. I don't think it's particularly unique, but it does work really well.

Finishing up the edits on a test shoot from back in December.

On the plus side, my living room has never had so much light. It’s kind of nice being able to fully illuminate the room if needed.

I added two 1600 lumen LED lights to my living room along with a fancy smart switch, which is all pretty cool. I’m a little disappointed I had to add another hub to my smart home and create another account with another company, but c’est la vie. This is of course why I have my IoT LAN which is cut off from the outside world. I do wish more IoT hardware was local by default.

someone: *asks about online backup*

me: Online backup is the greatest thing since sliced bread and will literally save your life. You should _never_ be without a current online backup.

me: *goes to check how many terabytes I'm storing*
me: *forgot to reinstall the software a month ago*

Finished the first prototype of my camera bag. I need to see how well this one works before moving on to the final version.
