Social

ya know, I can't tell you how delighted I was to find that one of my most delightful remaining possessions from my past life - this first-generation digicam from the turn of the century - is not only represented on Flickr as a hardware tag (or whatever you call it, sorry,) but on Glass as well!

almost certainly will make a point to post more COOLPIX photos, going forward, especially since I managed to (shockingly easily) get the whole of my short history with the little thing off it's Compact Flash card... by connecting it to my goddamned iPad.

hold on to these precious little moments of clarity lol. and check out this GitHub Repository I put together with a bunch of COOL/useful errata!
