Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

March 11, 2026. Freezing Rain. This is what it looked like out the window today as freezing Rain shut everything down. It was good for me though as I took the full day to migrate my newsletter from Mailgun to Amazon SES. Claude helped a lot; it would have taken me a full week to work my way through Amazon's Byzantine interface (and to make signature validation work in Perl). #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/saOxfhI

March 10, 2026. The tile on the basement floor. Good day today, got lots done - a fully automated backup system and a proper access logging system for the VPS, plus archiving all my CPanel sites. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/8B7WTfM

March 9, 2026. Sky and tree. Worked from home today; this scene is from the Independent in Embrun where we went over lunch to get some Scotch Bonnet peppers for my curry. It was a good day today; I'm feeling more right with the world, after what has been a lot of disruption. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/MvjFQ3V

March 8, 2026. Wall. We went to Tanger Outlet today, where I photographed this wall. I also bought a new rainproof jacket for Iceland. I'm going to be better equipped and better prepared for what I'm facing there this time. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/8Oc5dno

March 7, 2026. Fake moon. A photo taken from my home office window. The 'moon' is the reflection from my giant LED light bulb. I thought I would be productive today, but I wasn't really. Mostly I just watched videos. I started a new med this week so everything is a bit... off. Nothing serious but the delicate balance of energy and motivation that keeps me productive was disrupted. Waiting for spring, still. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/ZrTWatO
