Just cleared out my folder of in-progress files as they had all languished there for too long and obviously weren't meant to be. I'm left with a photo of a lemur that I thought looked boopable and NOTHING else 😮

@eclectech Out of interest, what do you do with the files you clear out?
I always struggle with what I should do with such files. Delete or archive..?

@eclectech "Pulled into a layered file" - do you mean a .psd .xcf or similar?

greenpete,
@greenpete@lor.sh avatar

@eclectech There's a fair bit of open source animation software, and some of cross platform, like which is used by professionals.
Also , I think is cross platform.

@eclectech I say you should just start a new chapter.
Ditch flash, it's so dead, and catch up with the tech.

As another crewed launch is about to happen, it's a good time to re-share this essay I wrote a couple months ago about how I just really can't get excited about rocket launches anymore.

@sundogplanets Are you worried about the pollution caused by the launches and burn up at end of life?
This seems significant to me.

No idea, I only ever watched the first one at the cinema when it came out. I never watched any of the others... there were others I assume?

Watching the Tories get put in their place is a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon 😊

It still baffles me why they get any votes at all though...

Also, now that I am not limited to one monitor anymore by Apple, I redid my office and rather enjoy my new working environment :-)

(Yes, those are spark-plugs on my desk)

@thewk Why/how did apple tie you to one monitor?

The brave robin valiantly rescues the seed from its cramped prison.

Yes, yes, it does. Shush now.

(this might be the smallest face I've ever drawn on anything, might require zoomage if you're on a phone!)

I mentioned yesterday how I was tempted to put Myfanwy & Friend into Bosch's Garden Of Earthly Delights, and now there's this.

Detailed version coming up in reply shortly, just in case you can't find her 😆

@greenpete@lor.sh avatar

@eclectech I found it, but not as quickly as my arrogant ego thought I would!
Excellent rasta skilz! 👍👌

I keep looking at The Garden of Earthly Delights with a mind to adding Myfanwy & friend, but I really need to focus in a small section for it to work & can't decide which bit to use.

It's such a fabulously bonkers painting.

Bit concerned I might traumatise Myfanwy.

@emmaaum Yes, you could do that many times, a bit of where's Wally! @eclectech

Went for a walk in the woods. Saw a red squirrel bounding around high up in the trees and chased it around for a while trying to get a good angle.

Will sort through properly later as there might be a couple of tolerable shots, but this one amused me.

Not quite what I was hoping for, but it captures a moment.

@eclectech I'd say they were great! I would be happy to have shot those!

@eclectech I know what you mean, I have rejected soooo many of my own pictures because they're not sharp enough.

@eclectech Have you ever watched squizzels chasing each other in the trees?
It's amazing!

I like to say goodnight to the boys, and tonight got myself a boop from one of them!

Today didn't, but I took one anyway!

A bit of classic English art for a Sunday afternoon; Constable's The Hay Wain (1821), with added Myfanwy & Friend (2024).

@eclectech It's just occurred to me that this makes the dog look more involved... It's thinking 'what the?!'

Right. Off to do sensible things. Happy to take suggestions for artworks that should contain a knitted chicken below. I've worked through my essential list 🖼️

@eclectech 'The Hay Wain' is my favourite!

I call this piece "don't let the bastards grind you down", because I am Quite Cross today & am trying to shake myself out of it.

There will be a time to focus the anger, but it's serving no purpose today so it can do one.

Time to channel my Inner Lichen.

@eclectech Sorry you're so pissed off, I hope you manage to get out of it.

I think most of us, for varying reasons, as well as the obvious ones, are less than full of the joys of Spring.

Good that we can support each other here 😊♥️

Good morning! Just in from a pleasant walk as the riverside path is finally dry(ish) land again, and the rain has paused. I think the swan is a bit annoyed that the path is back, although tbf they are perpetually grumpy.
