Telephoto closeup of a ruby throated hummingbird perched on a feeder

Today was a pretty lazy day. Weather is just gorgeous. I didn't want to jump right on the computer this morning, so I spent some time outside. It was nice just sitting out there, listening to the birds.

Had a bit of a scare earlier. I protected one of my external SSDs with File Vault, and of course I couldn't recall the password. Eventually I figured it out from the clue, and I've added it to Keychain Access so hopefully I won't forget next time.

I watched some of the WWDC keynote this afternoon. I guess my iPhone 16 won't be up to scratch for all the new AI stuff. Some of it, yes; but I'll have to go look at the docs to see just how much. Anything to get you to buy a new phone, I guess.

Mark Bernstein has put together a way to share a read-only view of a Tinderbox document. There are still a few bugs in the system, but this should open to a post in Groundhog Day from the 4th of July, 2009, nearly 17 years ago. My how things have changed.

Sat outside this afternoon and a couple of hummingbirds visited the feeder. Went inside and grabbled the OM-1 Mk1 with the 40-150/f2.8 mounted. Sat patiently for quite some time and this one showed up. I was somewhat amazed it let me bring the camera to my eye without flying off.

All in all, a pretty nice day today.

And the beat goes on...
