I’m on a (little teeny tiny) boat! Perfect day for a sail.

We're now (finally?) at the *gotta wear sunscreen just to step outside for a few minutes on lunch break to sit and read* part of #Halifax summer.
I'm also wondering how many tourist photos I'll end up in this year, I sit in a pretty touristy spot πŸ˜†

In all the many, many years I've been buying cameras and camera parts, this is definitely the smallest. It's an eyepiece diopter for my Mamiya 6 camera that helps with focussing and seeing the information in the viewfinder. Came all the way from Japan in two days!

@stuarticus Ha, yup, so many variables. I would have done the same thing, check the logs. Glad to see you got it figured out!

@stuarticus Hmm, if I remember correctly it should be instant. I think the order is important though, so add the rel"me" to your website first then add your URL (with https://) in the verification area in your profile. I seem to remember it happening right away, I believe the profile save is what triggers it.

Seeing some reviews from the Oasis show in Cardiff and damn, sentimentality is a hell of a drug.

Like every other jackass in 1994 I was a fan but fuck, let it go.

In *one* intersection: a driver illegally drives through a crosswalk with a pedestrian waiting to cross; 3 pickup trucks illegally parked blocking the view of very large oncoming traffic driving too fast to stop at same crosswalk.

And the clowns in charge want more of this.

I've seen a full-range of user-agent string abuse in my career but apologizing in it is a new one.

More AI/LLM/scraper bullshit.

I can't afford a decent panoramic camera so this $50 all-plastic 35mm masked frame thing will have to do. Took it for a spin this week on my walk to/from the office. Will make a fun second camera.

Taking a break outside from the over air-conditioned office. It’s absolutely glorious.

It’s true. You do.

Helicopter McCopterface is definitely gonna be suggested for one of the new helicopters. The internet's gonna get involved with his too.

Although it occurs to me that perhaps HRM Council's solution to their housing/transportation issues is to get more people to leave again.
