Crafting Furniture
There is something strangely cathartic about recreating furniture in SketchUp. Given good measurements, I can craft something recognisable in about ten to fifteen minutes.
Autumn Routine
Autumn has arrived. This weekend we will be transforming our apartment into its winter configuration. With the Autumn comes the cold and the damp. A pervasive damp that leaches into our kitchen wall and into our apartment.
New Home - Beginnings
It has been a busy few months. We have begun the process of buying land and building a home in France.
Capturing an Indescribable Quality
I have started taking more photos on settings other than the comfortable, forgiving, automatic or program modes.
Excessive Zoom
I have been wanting to settle down and write something useful about the Canon PowerShot SX700. My schedule has not allowed it this month. So a few recent photos will have to tide the topic over for a while.
Making Movie Splitter
Movie Splitter was accepted into the Mac App Store. That was a good moment. One Megan and I have yet to properly celebrate; traditionally, launches require a decadent slice of chocolate cake or another treat.
Hot Water
After two weeks without hot water, I am looking forward to running that hot tap soon. The plumbers have just finished and are leaving behind a brand new water heater. The new heater looks identical to our last but this one is not leaking water through the electrics.
Hello Internet
Megan and I have listened to the first three and they are enlightening, entertaining, and from the heart.
Constantly Amazed
If you are an organisation with a budget and staff, then I expect compensation for using my work. I also expect to be asked for permission to use my work; not only is it polite but my work is copyright.
Closing 2013
2013 was a busy year. We gathered a lot of tickets and paperwork. The journal is double its expected width in one corner. Not ideal but a sign of a year well spent.
