  I decided to order a couple of 3/8ths arca plates. A few of my cameras use 3/8ths. On the Micro flex the little 1/4 thread adapter sits slightly proud so the camera also sites on that on a tripod plate, which is weird. Also, the MPP is just huge. While I trust the thread inserts, I also think having a completely solid thread to the camera is going to be better. Probably a waste of money, but worth a go.

  It's funny isn't it, a man with a bin on his head claiming to be an aristocratic independent space warrior from the planet Sigma IX is arguably being more honest than Nigel "Man of the People" #farage The good people of #Clacton with furrows their brows in confusion, "I'm not voting for him! He's just making it all up!", they shall cry, and we wont know which one they are talking about. #UkPol

  Took Ensign Cameo no. 2 for a walk and a test today. Fitted the new ground glass, the glass worked well. The camera does need a bit more work, but at least I'll find out if there are any major light leaks. PanF, so I can really check focus was OK and see how sharp the lens is.

  Most of these toy cameras are ridiculously over priced, but honestly, for £50, this is quite a lot of camera! (full frame and half frame, pinhole and a meniscus lens, has bulb mode as well as a shutter speed, zone focus, and selectable aperture) https://www.bristolcameras.co.uk/product/ilford-pixie-35-ii-35mm-film-camera/

  I may have lived a sheltered life, but in my experience, you can fit all the people in the UK that think hand guns should be legal inside Rupert Lowe. #UKPol

  Total waste of money, but I reckon #CountBinface can do more to annoy GB news with £20 than I can.

  Dev'ed my two walkabout rolls (chilled dev 2 or three degrees below target and adjusted time as it warmed up, there come out fine). The new #EnsignCameo seems to be light leak free at least. 1/25s shutter and aperture seem good too going by exposures (everything pretty much metered out at 1/25th, walk only lasted 90mins). Focus looks basically good, won't be certain until I scan them. The MPP photos look nice too, will be fun to compare (used some of the same xcenes)

  I call this one "Badly Framed Guitar", missed it by a couple of inches! I'd forgotten my loupe, this was just down the road from our house and I was rushing as the people in the house were chatting by their front door. #BelieveInFilm #IlfordPanF #510Pyro #EnsignCameo

  From the test roll of the new copy of the Ensign Cameo. Everything seems good. #BelieveInFilm #IlfordPanF #510Pyro #EnsignCameo

  I'm a it out of practice with the MicroFlex, probably pushed the slow shutter speed too far. #BelieveInFilm #IlfordFP4plus #510Pyro #MPPMicroFlex

  We hates to end a break, and can't resist an outside chance. He makes more than he misses, but I think Allen's match play will take the win over the distance. #snooker

  @rsc by way of response to your comment on your blog post on literate programming (from 2008!!), another example of a large literate program is PBRT by Matt Pharr, Wenzel Jakob and Greg Humphreys. A superb book, a good read, and a great renderer explaining and demonstrating a huge variety of techniques. https://pbrt.org/

  Went around to a friend's for dinner. Of the 6 people there, I was the only one not using AI tools daily. 2 of those 6 were kids.
