I've been working on the code for my previous post. The title and all blogs on my blog list got turned into blue links.
As I test post Blogger bumps the titles to the most recent posts as my tests post.
I'm posting this one as a filler to go to the post from yesterday. I am working on using Word Press and kiss this platform goodbye for ever. I don't know how much support Blogger is getting. From what I read on tech sites; not much.

A Bit of Friday Rambling and Typing
Linn Ullmann, in an interview with Vogue, on her father Ingmar Bergman:
My father was a very disciplined and punctual man; it was a prerequisite for his creativity. There was a time for everything: for work, for talk, for solitude, for rest. No matter what time you get out of bed, go for a walk and then work, he’d say, because the demons hate it when you get out of bed, demons hate fresh air. So when I make up excuses not to work, I hear his voice in my head: Get up, get out, go to your work.
I thought the quote from Austin's blog might be appropriate for those who get stressed about working from home. We should not be going out to work, but some need to work from home. I know several programmers who have been working from home for a decade or so and they all love it. I've been doing some refreshing of my skills and may search for something on line to get a track record of generic programming rather than machine programming I've been doing for over 30 years. Then, I'm in no hurry. I have too much to do.
I enjoy Austin's Blog. I often think of the quote when out in the fresh air. I always get a boost when I could take a break and get outside when at work. I also do when at home. Now maybe more than ever. I appreciate that I can get out in the clean fresh air. Today the sounds and aromas of Spring were everywhere.
A machine can be programmed to some extent remotely and then all takes place on location and at installation at the customers site.
For those who want to hang around for a while I've included some images of the preserve down the street from me. I have been wanting some fog images and yesterday I stopped on my way home from the grocery store. The time was a bit later than I wanted, but conditions were really nice. The over night frost was just starting to melt off the trees and as I casually walked the trail I not only heard birds and squirrels I could hear the melting frost dropping.
This is a popular spot for many activities including hiking, running, and just plain relaxing. No bicycles, motorized vehicles (except handicap kind), no horses, no dogs off-leash. I sometimes run the trails which are almost 5km. across various terrains.
| The scrubs were loaded with these webs that were not there a week ago. |
| This little woodpecker would not cooperate for a portrait. It looks like a red-bellied, but I could not see it closely enough. It sure sounded like one when it called. They have a unique call. |
The preserve is greening up nicely after the prescribed burn the first of second week end of March. I found out about it when all the work was done.
When I posted this the blog format was normal. I checked it and now it is a link for the title and all the blog list has changed from normal to links. I'm unsure, but I think it is in the copy of the quote at the top. I looked at the code quickly and don't notice anything abnormal. I may take a closer look later. Things change on Blogger as if it were owned, operated, and run on ... Well most readers of this blog know company and OS I do not like in the least.
One day I'll self host with Apache and use WordPress. If I only had room for servers in my tiny house. I may just change to WordPress since it is quite configurable. Still working on solving the issue with the weirdness of this page.
Other pages are fine.

| First use of a Speedy Inks 86¢ (when I bought mine last year) ribbon. |
When I first read The Unexpected Philosophy Icelanders Live By, I got the idea for this post I had more to write. That was last night. I could not remember the details as I started typing today. I don't write a draft or work from notes for my typecasts. Perhaps I should.
I know I was going to do more on some of the relaxation or simple living words I picked up on over the years. I'll need to do a bit of thinking and post on them later.
Seems most fit during this time as many are worried about the virus or having their routine life disrupted. I have a fire fighter mentality about a lot of things and normally that means I get quite militaristic and bossy. The other side of that is a different way of instantly adapting to the situation at hand. The adaptability part is what fits this situation.
Always prepared and the ability to adapt and execute have mostly gotten me through anything that came along. I like petta reddast, also. We may go through some very difficult things. I'm looking for everything to work out all right in the end.
Stay home, stay your distance, stay safe.
| Speedy Inks ribbon looks just like the original Adler ribbon. It comes on a standard DIN spool and has eyelets. |
