War and Peace

Published 2010 August 12

It will be a while, possibly an infinite while, before I read Tolstoy’s brick of a book,[1] so I am happy Amber gives me a glimpse:

“In captivity, Pierre had learned, not with his mind, but with his whole being, his life, that man is created for happiness, that happiness is within him, in the satisfying of natural human needs, and that all unhappiness comes not from lack, but from superfluity.”

[1] Stubbed my toe on the thing twice already.

Change File Permissions Recursively

To unlock all files in a folder and all its subfolders, open a terminal window and type (in OS X and most Unix systems I believe):

sudo chown -R yourusername /path/to/folder

It is good to do this to a folder of photographs that you are about to backup so that you avoid the backup failing half-way through when the backup script finds a locked file.

New Story: The Island

Published 2010 August 1

A new story available in the usual gallery format, and also as a 5-minute slideshow with music by Pink Floyd (Marooned, from The Division Bell, by David Gilmour and Richard Wright.) (recommended).

The slideshow is set in a deliberately slow pace. If you don’t have time, I recommend the gallery instead
