Off to Madtown today. The scenic route awaits: US 14 through the driftless area of Wisconsin. Just beautiful.
A view of the Mississippi River from Great River Bluffs State Park near Dakota MN. Taken several years ago, but the view hasn’t changed much.
I think I’m moving my main site to a local server. It’s a single page that would reference all the various subdomains. It’d save me a few bucks a month. I need something to do in my “spare time”.
Today I’m puzzling over how to organize my various sites. Do I want to continue to maintain a photo site in addition to using the photo bits here on micro.blog? And then there’s the whole Facebook, Instagram thing which I would love to chuck into the waste bin. Pondering… Changes are likely.
Hungarian horseman with his five horse team. This guy was moving. Taken back in May just outside of Budapest.
I was briefly considering having a dry week and then I recalled that I was going to be in Madison WI this weekend with time on the Memorial Union Terrace. Maybe next week?
Oh Joy! Time to renew my driver’s license!
Love these sunglasses!
It was 90ºF that day. Not sure this was the best wardrobe choice but it fit the theme of the event.
Deckset was much easier to use than iA Presenter. The only thing easier in Presenter was that I could move slides by drag and drop. Deckset relies on an external editor for composition so that involves copy/paste.
And working on a presentation on street photography for my “exploring photography” group. Here’s another picture from that.
Making arrangements to travel to southern Wisconsin next weekend. A short drive. Also diagnosing a weird bug in the key server.
Saw “Cabaret” at the Guthrie Theater today. Always darker than expected. I may have detected echoes of “Springtime for Hitler” in it.
Moving from iA Presenter back to Deckset. iA Presenter’s “markdown” flavor is too quirky for me and the editor is barely passable. I can work far more quickly in Deckset and I can pretty much get image placement the way I want.
I decided to do my workout at home today. We have enough weights and bands here to approximate my trainer’s wishes for me. I have my “exploring photography” group this afternoon.
I’m having an internal debate on giving away or selling my film camera equipment – an old Canon T50 with lenses and filters. I’d love to have someone actually using it. I’ve tested it and it’s still lightproof. It’d be perfect for black and white and home developing.
Lots today. Ann and I have been married 48 years. This morning I took my AARP Safe Driving course for the insurance discount. Worked at setting up our new HOA. Dinner out with Ann. No time for photography.
More trainer torture today. Actually this one wasn’t so bad but I was dragging by the end. Probably due to lack of sleep.
Now back to coding for our next release.
I was able to get a presentation that I’m happy with after fiddling around iA Presenter’s quirky markdown-inspired markup. The test will be actually doing the presentation. Next time should be easier.
Sunset in the Grafton WI cemetery. Ann’s parents are here.
