A Lovely 10C Site!

@kdfrawg I often feel that the closer something is to me, the less able I am to be open minded about it. In my mind, I know it's a pretty rare and expensive camera, and I would never dream of doing that. In someone else's mind, it probably was Just Another Camera, albeit a weird one, yet even knowing that I find it hard not to feel quite negative about the whole situation.

Thankfully nothing bad came of the event other than 2 frames of film being wasted, but I think I'll need to be a little more vocal about things next time.

I can't help but feel annoyed when people pick up my antique camera and take a few photos with it without asking. Worse, the photos will be completely useless, because they know nothing about the fundamentals of photography.

It may be unproductive to feel like that towards people who clearly don't know, but is it that hard to ask?

@matigo I know some people who'd want that kind of thing system-wide…

But yes, I would probably end up throwing something out of the window (just as you were walking past).

Just skimmed a dissertation that used the default header/style/whatever you call them font settings in Word.

And possibly the default font for the body text.

So obvious it was distracting.

And, obviously, the typography was a total mess.

@streakmachine I think, though I don't care enough to look into it in any depth, that it could vaguely be defined as a Whole Lot of Insecurity on the part of the accusers.

One thing's clear to me though: very few first-world cultures "own" their language. So much is borrowed (stolen? pillaged?) from others.

@matigo It's enough to fuel my posts, so I'm sure it could!

Scotch Malt Whisky Society's Shape Shifter is certainly one of the most memorable young (10yo) whiskies I've tasted. Underripe strawberry, peach, vanilla, white chocolate, lemon curd…and that 60% ABV gives it a lot of body and intensity.

I do wish distilleries would release more cask strength bottlings. 40% is rarely ideal for a whisky's mouthfeel.

@kdfrawg Gotta love pixel art!

@kdfrawg Heh. She started out doing architectural drawings for the Canadian railway, but that was on paper. Then she switched jobs and never went back. WYSIWYG is all she knows, and 3D rendering is too confusing for her.

@kdfrawg My mum designed our current HK apartment in 2006 using PowerPoint's drawing tools.
