This time around I was unexpectedly busy around Micro.camp so I missed out on pretty much the entire camp, except for tuning in for a brief moment on Friday. Hoping to catch up on all the videos this week.

Sights from a walk in the neighborhood.

A couple of weeks ago we went hiking at Lacamas Park in the city of Camas, about 20 minutes drive from Portland. This was our first time there and it was a lovely hike in a park that is well maintained and has lots of crisscrossing trails.

A few times I got the feeling of being farther from the city than we actually were, like when the trail drops down to the base of a waterfall.

We even spotted some trilliums!

You can get right next to the water, so this one might be worth revisiting on those hot summer days.

It’s the colorful season.

Jenni’s tiny air plant has a super tiny flower. Fountain pen nib for scale.

Our poofs have arrived.

In the last week I used ChatGPT to replace three text manipulation scripts I used on and off. And yes, I spent hours writing/maintaining those over the years.

I also used it to aid in creating a new shell script.

It was disgusting/wonderful how straightforward all that was.

The latest version of Mimi Uploader is out. This one was a long time coming as the beta cycle started over two months ago. I just had several other things taking my time. Thank you for your patience.

Here’s what’s new:

• Fix for alt text editor issue that caused editing text to go under the keyboard. Very annoying!
• Redesigned Help screen. Won’t glare at you in dark mode anymore!
• Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Get it from the App Store!
