“Time for bed?”
“Yup”
“You taken your photo for today yet?”
“S*%! – No!”
Today is the closest I’ve come all year to blowing it and not taking a photo in time.

Eye in the sky
Hand held black and white hdr. Hmm. Not sure if it works.
Frost
Today was the first real frost of the year. Hopefully, we’ll have a proper cold winter for a change.
I’ve had a productive evening tonight. So far I’ve managed to:
- Arrange what time I’m picking up Niece No 1 to go to the seaside on Monday
- Install and configure my new 1TB RAID array (Which is good, as I was down to 56MB of free disk space! I now have over 800GB on the array and about 80GB of space on my main disk)
- Work out how to tickle my serial port into life from a shell script – so I can set the time on my clock from a cronjob.
- Mounted the V3 dials to the clock. These are black on a white background, and work marvelously. They can stay! (sod the backlight idea – it didn’t work anyway)
Floating
And with this shot – my hard disk is full. My new disks turned up today, but I forgot to take them home from the office. Doh!
Railings
I like the colours, and the shape, but can’t help thinking that I should find something more interesting to take photos of. I’ve only got 65 days left in which to pull my socks up!
Overstimulated
Too many toys, not enough interest in any of them
Sunrise
It’s not often I get to see this end of the day, but I’m off to see J for the weekend so it’s an early start for me!
It’s that clock again
Tonight, I fitted up the first version of the meter scales. They’re not bad, but I need to re-do them with slightly bigger numbers and pick a colour for the backlight. I’m also in two minds about the white on black.
I think ideally I’d like some kind of flickery orange “valve” style glow for the backlight – but I’m not sure that’s going to be particularly easy with LEDs. I wonder how many spare output pins I’ve got on the microcontroller to do the flickering. hmm…
Flats
It feels like I’ve taken this shot many, many times this year. It’s been a different building each time though so I don’t feel too bad.
Perhaps one day I’ll manage to make it interesting.
Hoot One
This chap is an Eagle Owl – and is nesting just down the road from my office. Today was the first day that I managed to work out which tree he’s living in – but I only had the 50mm prime with me. So the above is really tightly cropped. I’ll be taking the longer lens into work with me tomorrow to see if I can get a better shot.
