Criminy. I've got a quarter of the final exhibit of my great big graphics project already in the can after a single day's work.
Eep.
#125 was such a grind, such a dog's breakfast I'd be doing phenomenal to get a couple of images a 12 hour day. #124 was a slog, too but #126 even with the formatting changes is a total doddle in comparison.
I might actually have a draft this week. And be done. I'll have saved all of it and given it to everyone.
OMG I finally finished exhibit #124 of 126 of my five year great big graphics project.
I've been working on these 68 images most of the month of December and it's been a slog and a half. Some of these images took days.
This has been a major recovery effort. It's not perfect, I've mended as much as I could without going mad in a cycle of more effort generating smaller and smaller returns.
Will proof, write up the notes, upload the files in time for a Christmas release.
Latest great big graphics project news is I've completed the supplemental dataset included with exhibit #124 of 126 and I'm 45/68 completed the main exhibit.
The supplemental dataset's all ready for upload but I'll first need to do a field trip downtown to determine for the online notes if this was included or omitted from the official version of #124.
There are at least 4 expurgated images in my version of #124. If the sup set was too, then my version would be +20 images.
Gauntlet continues. Major death day anniversary yesterday. Got through it. Thoroughly depressed reading the world news. WTF is wrong with people.
This week more major anniversaries to traverse.
Continuing work on exhibit #124 of 126 of my great big graphics project. New monitor is amazing. LG 32" currently on sale under $200 at Staples. Work goes slowly.
Doing what I can to keep it all together. Much scotch tape. Very much color lights.
Exhibit #124 of 126 of my great big graphics project is slow going due to substantial physical damage of the sole known intact original data.
Still working on that psychologically affirming one quarter done milestone three days in.
I've got errands and such today so won't be able to put in any hours until after dark.
In the meanwhile, exhibits #001 to #123 are presently available online: accessible, indexed and searchable - with content removed from the official copies - free, only here.
Keel laid on exhibit #124 of 126 of my great big graphics project.
Only original content prime known and it's had a hard time of it.
Much work to be done to create #124's 68 images; toiling away all evening and I've gotten the first five in the can. And I'm not 100% happy with them so I may very well tweak these things as I keep seeing the proofs incrementally compiled.
Oh well. As Super Chicken counsels: I knew the job was dangerous when I took it, cluck cluck.
Exhibit #124 of 126 of my great big graphics project will contain 68 images. I'm going to have to check on the reference copy of this dataset how many more images are in my original than their official copy. At least 4, maybe 20.
Nice pair of Linear Perturbations by bravokiloecho (Ben Elwyn)! I love how these two mints differ from each other, but still show their common roots (cold/warm tones, blurred/precise lines).
I remember an XKCD comic where cueball is standing on stage with a bag of rocks and says "I'm going to eat this bag of rocks, not because it is easy, but because it is hard." This refers to JFK saying we go to the moon because it is difficult.
