I stopped experimenting with film developers a long time ago. It's been all HC-110 for years. But...I was intrigued by 510 Pyro as I've never tried a staining developer. Processed my first roll (HP5) in Pyro today. The only thing I did "wrong" was to not use an alkaline fixer, but word on the street is that most people don't notice a difference. Mixed 1:100 using 4ml. It's like syrup, but the supplied oral syringe worked well. One cool thing is that the shelf life of an opened bottle is 6 years. YEARS. https://www.zone-imaging.co.uk/shop/p/510pyro.

@greg@gregnewman.io How do you carry the Mini? Seems like a back pocket (where I carry the field notes) would bend things in a bad way.

I set up a pair of Yubikeys with my critical accounts last week and so far have not locked myself out of anything. I'm kind of surprised.

@jack @greg@gregnewman.io But it smells awesome!

@greg@gregnewman.io Honestly, I have mixed feelings. It's no fault of the Plotter, but rather my difficulty with ring binders. The smaller rings help, but being left-handed is still a disadvantage. I'm also not sure having such flexible options with papers, arrangements, etc. works with my brain. I need constraints! :). That said, mine is the A5 and I have the matching "bible" sized set in my cart.

@maique@social.lol Ugh! I should! It's so hard for me, though. I guess that's why you called it a "challenge" :).

My pile of notebooks. Plotter, Leuchtturm, Baron Fig, Midori, Hobonichi, Field Notes.

It's possible I'm spreading myself to thin, notebook-wise.

@cdevroe@mastodon.social Thanks Colin. You're right about making them to have them. I've never regretted taking a photo, but I've often regretted not taking one

I'm feeling pretty unmotivated, photographically. Shooting film has felt like too much work, and I don't enjoy digital. I haven't liked the results I'm getting with either of them. Buying a new camera would help for maybe a few days, but that's the last thing I need. I should probably just load up a camera and get out and do something, anything, with it.

A regular reminder to print and caption at least some of your photos. My grandfather wrote captions for everything and I'm so grateful.

Well, the DEsk desktop environment is excessively, wonderfully skeuomorphic: https://github.com/fyzugx/DEsk
It's not quite ready (doesn't work well on 4k/5k monitors), but it sure is fun.

@adamsdesk@fosstodon.org I'd like to try it for a while, too.

@gabz@social.lol I love the Zentos!

For my own mental health, I need to follow only those people who's contribute-to-complain ratio tends toward ∞.

What an unexpectedly delightful, sweet, funny, quirky, heartwarming treat this was.

@mike@libertynode.net I noticed that, too. I wish I could remember why I had both.

@Luke@typo.social You know, it started as an excuse to use the date stamp, but it's become a useful addition! Now if I could figure how to organize them :)
