I just backed Bokeh: Private, independent, and user-funded photo sharing on @Kickstarter

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/timothybsmith/bokeh-private-independent-and-user-funded-photo-s...

Did you see the photo of my starter from this morning? It has now had time to work its magic and I have three good looking seedy loaves based on Hamelman's multigrain with soaker. I can't guarantee that these particular loaves will be absolutely delicious, but based on past experience, it is a bet I would be willing to make. This particular loaf will not be part of the course on 9 June, but the handout will contain the recipe and we will be talking about seeds.

Still trying to work out why a photo that includes a hashtag (from Instagram) fails to show as a photo on micro.blog, while a photo without any hashtags shows up just fine.

Anyone have a clue?

I stopped sharing photo posts to micro.blog because they were being duplicated. Pretty sure now that's because the RSS contains the image twice, as part of the CDATA and again as an enclosure. Not sure whether to fix in @WithKnown or ask @help at micro.blog to ignore enclosure.

"Samsung used my DSLR photo to fake their phone’s “portrait mode” - DIY Photography"

PESOS from Reading.am.

Updated to latest HEAD of WithKnown and hoping that might solve the multiple-photo problem. Better create a multiple photo post on Instagram, then.

Latest episode is a chat with @thesugarchef about her life in pastry and the sheer joy of a silky-smooth custard. Plus, the mystery appeal of vanilla ice cream. Link in bio. Oh, and that photo may like a fancy omelette, but it is actually Charmaine's grapefruit panna cotta, with semolina and olive oil cake, wild red juniper and grapefruit marmalade, citrus crumble and fennel chips. I wish I could tell you what it tastes like.

Our Daily Bread 30 - A Perennial Dream http://ow.ly/8pcy30lB5vW Wheat is an annual plant; it dies after setting seed. Each year, the farmer has to prepare the land, sow seed, fertilise and protect the plants. When the ground is bare, between crops, wind and water can erode the soil. The shallow root systems of annual plants fail to exploit the resources of the soil and do little to improve it. So although wheat feeds us, it does so at considerable cost to the environment. It isn't sustainable. What if wheat were perennial? Photo by Jerry D. Glover; annual wheat on the left, Kernza™ on the right.

Our Daily Bread 24 - Slow, but Exceedingly Fine http://ow.ly/W4Ix30lvxpu Without a doubt, the most important trend in the resurgence of baking with care is the increasing use of small mills by keen home bakers and professionals alike. Better nutrition and stunning flavour are the obvious benefits. Less visible, a renewal of local grain growing and closer links between farmers and bakers, all in search of better wheats.

Photos for Mac isn’t a long term photo library option – Colin Devroe

Perhaps you’re not worried about moving from Mac to Windows or from Photos to another library manager, but you should be. Apple has already killed iPhoto in favor of Photos for Mac and lost a lot of functionality when they did. Who is to say they won’t do that again? Or discontinue the Mac altogether some day?
