It was such a pain in the ass to write this post. I have it fairly well automated, and it's worked reliably for a few years now, but today Mac OS Golden Gate says that my script can't send events to Photos.

What the fuck, Apple?

I added FastScripts to Automation in Privacy and Security, though it hasn't been there before, and I toggled everything in that pane off and then back on again.

No change.

Tried running the script from the FastScripts menu item, it worked.

Tried it again using the keyboard shortcut.

It worked. Finally

Why?

I have no idea.

Anyway, making progress on the porch and deck. The porch is essentially done. The decking and stairs are temporary while we're still in construction, but the timber frames and finished tongue and groove ceiling are in, the roof decking is on and the membrane is down. We hope to have the deck roof finished today. Maybe not with the high-temp membrane, but hopefully the roof decking will all be down. It's a lot of work.

I now know what those high gable windows are for. They're there so you can see the timber frames from inside. It's very cool.

In other news, I returned the CPAP. It's not for me. I can breathe better without it.
