    Day 27: surprise

    Quite surprised that this photo came out as well as it did. Was purely an accidental press of the shutter button. #mbapr

    Photo of the Apple magic keyboard with focus on K, L, and M.

    Interesting to see Google starting to solicit reviews for apps that came with the phone, such as the… Phone.

    Screenshot of a request for a review of the android Phone app, with five unfilled stars and a message saying that reviews will be public

    Some emus have moved into a nearby sanctuary a few weeks ago. I managed to catch a glimpse of one during my walk today. A rare treat indeed.

    A city road at night, with cars driving towards the camera, and yellow, purple, and blue lights strung up above the street, featuring peacocks and Rangoli decorations celebrating Diwali

    Day 23: dreamy #mbapr

    Day 20: ice #mbapr

    An empty glass on a bench containing ice cubes, with bottles of lemon and lime cordial and bitters behind it.

    A small visitor is back, enjoying the sun on my kitchen tiles. 🦎

    Skink on a ceramic tile in the sunlight with some shadows on the side.

    Day 19: birthday

    I got this almost 9 years ago. It’s never been used. #mbapr

    A glass stein on a bench with the inscription "Happy 30th Birthday" written on the front

    Day 18: mood

    I guess one can describe this mode as flat. #mbapr

    Day 17: transcendence #mbapr

    An ornate, gilded altar in a medieval Spanish church lit with sunlight and artificial light.

    Day 16: flΓ’neur

    One extra flΓ’neur not in frame. #mbapr

    Photo of a tour group of roughly 20 people with a tour guide giving an explanation of some old white marble facade.

    Love the new categories feature in Scribbles. Went back and added them to the posts on Coding Bits and Workpad. They look and feel great.

    Screenshot of Scribbles post screen showing three posts, each with a different category with a different colour.

    Took a while to troubleshoot why my shell script wasn’t running in Keyboard Maestro. Turns out I needed to add #!/bin/zsh -l to launch it with ZSH, with the -l switch to read my zprofile dot file.

    Day 15: small #mbapr

    Day 14: cactus

    Okay, I admit that it’s quite a stretch to call this a cactus. I do think it’s some form of succulent, or at least a plant that’s suitable for hot, dry climates, so I’m going to go with it. #mbapr

    A succulent in a pot with thick, broad leaves.

    Mum found a bunch of tapes of us making radio shows when we were kids. I’m digitising them now using this radio, which is the only tape player available to me. Not pictured is the Nuc running Linux, recording the audio (forgot how painful dealing with Linux audio on the command line is).

    A radio and cassette player connected to a USB interface with a few cassettes in the foreground.

    Day 13: page #mbapr

    Page from a journal with a hand written date of 15 July 2023 in the top left in blue, and in the centre in all-caps, the handwritten phrase 'Page Intentionally Left Blank'
