Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

February 28, 2021. This was taken from my walk today, looking across the tracks at the new subdivision. When we moved here this was all forest. Obviously I preferred the forest, but we still live in a rural area just a short walk from other forests and farmland and everything else that isn't city. I started my day by writing a blog post, then I worked on making cron work (maybe successfully?) and also preparing for two talks I'm giving back-to-back first thing tomorrow morning. https://flic.kr/p/2kFR5vo

February 27, 2021. I went out snowshoeing again today, paused to take a photo, and pitched forward as the snow gave out. I found myself trapped and unable to get up, my legs pinned by the snowshoes wedged in cement-like snow. "I've fallen and I can't get up," I said to myself. It took about 15 minutes in a cold rain, but I worked my way free and finally recovered. https://flic.kr/p/2kFyXy7

February 26, 2021. If you're going to stack bread trays, why not stack them all fit together squarely? Anyhow, this was the view behind the A&W near the Costco on Ogilvie Road. After a couple of days off, I got my regular walk in today. I also made quite a bit of coding progress and have maybe turned a corner. https://flic.kr/p/2kFhoEi

February 25, 2021. This is Emma on the upper landing preening for the camera. It was another indoor day today because I was expecting a package that never came (new shoes for biking season, so there's no rush). I recorded a couple of videos today, one of which had a horrible screeching sound for the first 24 minutes, and the second of which was a 10-minute successful install of gRSShopper using Docker Compose. Fixed a few bugs after that on a generally successful day. https://flic.kr/p/2kF1rqF

February 24, 2021. We had a third straight day of snow and I made it an indoor day today, taking a photo of these two spruce in our front yard after supper in the evening. I cleared up some remaining issues with my gRSShopper configuration but mostly spent my time reading for newsletter links and filling out an employee profile. https://flic.kr/p/2kEF4ip

February 22, 2021. It snowed pretty much all day today. This is a shot of some neighbourhood cedars in the snowfall, taken on my daily walk. Today was reasonably productive: I did a video session, wrong a blog post, and read a bunch of things/ But my early afternoon I had run out of energy - the only thing that kept me awake was my walk. I have to accept that I'm going to have days like that. Always have, always will. https://flic.kr/p/2kEaQz5

February 21, 2021. We went snowshoeing in Larose Forest this afternoon, our longest of the season at 4.5 km on a beautiful sunny and not-too-cold day. This looks as if it would be a one-in-a million catch of a pine cone, but I looked around and saw two others just like it, so I guess it happens a lot. https://flic.kr/p/2kDRApw
