Tweaks to my Dired config in Emacs

At some point during my latest round of build-emacs-config-from-scratch, I must have missed part of my Dired settings. I want Dired to only show the file name rather than all the file attributes, and I want folders displayed first. Instead, now I see all file details and folders are sorted

Some quality-of-life improvements to the darkroom

I made some quality-of-life improvements to the bathroom darkroom this morning. I finally have a real “wet side”. Previously, I was using the sink and counter, but there was barely room for 3 (8x10) trays. Now, I’ve got room for 6 or more. Or larger trays if I want

My second sewing project is finished

I’m still taking sewing lessons. The first week we made pillowcases and it was actually fun, other than having to rip a whole seam and start over :). Monday’s project was this drawstring bag. This was my first time cutting fabric, and I found it harder than expected. There’

Adding Expires headers to Caddy

Performance is important, of course, but I honestly don’t fuss too much over it on my sites. At least I don’t let it get in the way of publishing how I want to publish. For example, I don’t bother with a CDN because I don’t want

Org-rainbow-tags

I don’t normally use tags in Org-mode files, so I hadn’t noticed that tags on DONE headings use the same face as the heading itself. This makes the tags difficult to spot. Every theme I tested failed to differentiate between heading text and tags on DONE headings. Here’

Books.org redo

For a couple of years, I kept my reading list in an Org-mode file. I found it a bit tedious, and the only thing I did about that was to stop doing it. I mean, I always seem to be on the verge of abandoning Emacs anyway, right? Well, I’

Roll-176 (Leica M3)

This roll of HP5 from the Leica M31 was shot mostly in Grand Haven during one of our frequent walks through town and on the pier.

Roll-175 (Canonet G-III QL17)

I first decided to sunset the Canonet, in 2022 due to a few issues making it less than ideal to use. I have a short memory, and was feeling badly about the camera sitting on a shelf, so I loaded it up with a roll of HP5. Processing the roll
