The image depicts a person lying on the ground in a forested area at night. The individual is wearing a light blue dress with intricate silver embroidery on the sleeves and a dark brown belt with a metallic buckle. They are holding a large, ornate sword with a silver hilt and a black grip, resting it across their chest. The person's hair is dark and curly, and they are looking upwards with a contemplative expression. The background is filled with glowing, pumpkin-like orbs scattered throughout the foliage, creating a mystical atmosphere. The overall color palette is dark, with the warm orange of the glowing orbs contrasting against the cool tones of the night. The image has a fantasy or medieval theme, with elements suggesting a story or a moment of reflection.

Current repair (yesterday): guitar stand where a critical weld broke.
Edit: Not shown - strips on inner tube tightly wrapped to bind the "alligator jaws" to the semicircle headstock piece, then some baseball bat padded tape stuff (similar to cork tape for cycling bars) wrapped around that. There is also now a high-quality(TM) bungee going from prong to prong to prevent the cats from knocking the guitar off the stand.

Construction Site, 270 Park Avenue, NYC.
16 August 2021. Manhattan. Construction of the new JP Morgan building at 270 Park Avenue. I imagine this is how Piet Mondrian saw everything. Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 HR Diragon SW Float lens (@ f/7.1). Phase One IQ4 150 Achromatic back (@ ISO 200).Flickr

Captured with the Phase One IQ4-150 Achromatic back and the Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 HR Digaron-SW lens, which, unusually for large format lenses, employs a floating element integrated into the focusing helical.
This photo is a literal image of a construction site (to become the new JP Morgan building), but also an exercise in abstract precisionism and cubism. We see the new skyscraper, and the buildings in the background, essentially as a Mondrian-esq deconstructed tangle of lines and rectangles.

Q1: Tell us who you are, and give us a comic slogan to describe you current, or a recent project.
I'm a person (he/him or whatever you like) in rural NY state in the USA who doesn't make anything for my moneyjob except students who know slightly more than last month (hopefully) and maybe some statistical models and occasional papers and conference presentations.
The rest of the time I make a variety of things. This week it was more repair and decoration than construction. Comic slogan: "90% ugly, 50% functional, 0% profitable."
I have an #electricGuitar (Godin SD, circa 1999) that I messed up by blocking/decking. I got the intonation fixed with some strips of credit card-type plastic. That isn't photogenic so here is the silly design I drew on it last night after a stiff White Russian.

I've been using Ptyxis for my terminal since switching to GNOME again for a future video.
I really like it! It's nice and clean, does what a terminal should do! While I haven't tried the containerization stuff yet, it looks interesting.
Ptyxis does something really neat that I'd love to see more in GNOME apps, and that's in-app palette selection.
I certainly don't expect *everyone* to think this is a good idea but I love the idea of application developers being able to define sensible palettes while allowing users a degree of customizing the window.
When every window is the same color, it can get hard to contrast one application from another. This is the most elegant way I've been able to change that with a GNOME application.
@zeenix This isn't exactly customization *by* the user, this is customization *offered to* the user *by* the developer.
What I'm saying is that I like this implementation, as it allows the developer to offer well contrasted and tested palettes, which the user can choose if they'd like.
I still don't see where there's a "workaround" here, sorry.

The image depicts a fantasy character with large, translucent purple butterfly wings. The character is standing in a dynamic pose, holding a sword in their right hand. They are wearing a red and green outfit with leaf-like patterns, complemented by red boots. The character has pointed ears and a slender build, with a confident expression. The background is a soft, cloudy white, emphasizing the character's vibrant colors and ethereal wings. The overall style is a blend of fantasy and digital art, with a focus on the character's unique features and the intricate details of their attire and wings.

After 3+ years at Forbes, Friday March 21 will be my last day.
After 20+ years of doing professional journalism, I’m moving on to a new challenge.
Short work day because morning shenanigans in town, but then I retrieved the rotavator from the tractor barn. Fixed a few small problems and greased all the things, as it was nicely painted but not a drop of grease anywhere.
Some studying of Japanese manuals (translated) and wrestling the thing on and off the 3PH twice and then... magic!
Turning the concrete field into fluffy garden soil. At sunset, sadly, so just a quick test run.
