Image from the trip posted up on blipfoto. A long time ago, in seemingly a different universe to this one, I spent a long time working on a landscape documentary project called The Bridges. It was ostensibly 13ish years in the making, but really 90% of it happened in the last 18 months or so….

Windows Update Disasters (Among Other Things) Have Driven Me To The Dark Side.
I’m not one to blame my tools when I work, but last week was a bad time tools-wise. My custom built ‘gaming’ laptop started to show serious signs of imminent implosion. The display suddenly went dim, and when I tried to increase the brightness it actually got dimmer. Reducing the brightness to 50% made it…

But productivity apps that allow…

Uncertain(ty) Principles.
As I look on from across the Atlantic, I wonder how it will feel in – oh – about 3 (ish) hours from writing this, when the US presidential inauguration is underway. Will it feel as wonderful as I hope? Even as someone who’ll have to deal with the influence that the outgoing demagogic narcissist…
