Weather is crazy at the moment. 11F and snow last Friday. Now it's bearable with a t-shirt.

Took me 2.5hrs to get to work in that snow.

Had considerable problems with runaway CPU and OOM on the instance the last couple of days. I haven't had time to figure it out. It's Ruby, I know that much.

A shame that a real decentralised alternative to monolothic social media companies is so characterised by pathetic infighting and bike-shedding.

A little snowfall last night, very much on the lower range of the forecast. Banged up my knee badly last weekend and I've been putting about 15mins walking a day to help it along.

It's cold.

Funny to think the kid with the spoon must be in his late 20s by now.

Watching The Matrix for the first time in what must be over a decade. Away from the ridiculous over exposure it had years after release, it really is a terrific film. It's aged very well, apart from the music and little things like phones.

NYC, July 2006 in Times Square. I wanted to get the hectic lights and energy of the place with a slow shutter speed and a cab speeding past.

Giewont, Tatra mountains, Poland 2009. A rare sunny day. It was still extraordinarily cold compared to what I'd been used to.

December 20th, 2009. Waiting for the bus to the Tatra mountains at 0630 in the morning, in -20C / -4F. It's overexposed by about one stop, it was darker in reality. 🇵🇱

Wawel Castle, December 2009. I think it was my birthday. It was very cold - well below zero - and this low brick wall was the only place I could rest my camera.

It's that time of year when January nears its midpoint and you can almost taste the better weather, but then it snaps very cold and you stare forlornly at your motorbike.

Also Fedora, well done on grey text on a slightly greyer background on your Cinnamon theme.

Have files on your computer? = 'Perhaps your files are outside the bounds of Tracker's design'.

Amazing. RAW photo files, older ones at that - defeating the Gnome project's state of the art indexer.
