Hello World Again

| blogging |

I’ve spent the last few years treating my blog posts like the children of a divorced couple who live on opposite ends of the world. I move them all every few months from platform to platform looking for a better home. From Blogger to WordPress. From WordPress to Jekyll. From Jekyll to WordPress. From WordPress to a custom site I built for no great reason. From the custom site I built for no great reason back to WordPress. Back to Jekyll.

Sometimes the writing gets better with age, like a stinky cheese. Other times I need to cut off the mold when it gets too crusty. This time I am moving back to WordPress and will try to stick with it.

I am also going to try to focus more on writing about what I have to say to the world and less on attempting to create a bespoke random supplemental software documentation repository. I think it would be better to contribute to the official documentation for a project when I run across a problem that is confusing or needs further explanation. For anyone who read this blog for those random nuggets, I am sorry.

2020 has caused all of us to look at things from a different perspective. Here’s to fresh starts.

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

This is perhaps my favourite feature in Lightroom. You press ⇧T, you draw a few lines, and presto – your photo is now even: This is doubly magical to me. The first part is that this is even possible – that you can straighten the photo in both dimensions af...
