I bought a cheap Kaiser magnifier and use the iPad as a light table.

Playing some Bolt Thrower in honour of the fantastic Martin Kearns who died this week.

259/365: We spent the evening at Bambi cinema to see Victoria. It’s a seemingly impossible movie that was filmed in a single 140-minute take. No cuts. Incredible. And very entertaining!

This time it’s a Fuji Neopan Acros 100 film. I love how this looks. Much less grain than a Tri-X or a HP5+ when developed with Rodinal. And I’m happy with this scan, too.

Now I only need to learn how to hold the camera straight.

Introducing Peace, my privacy-focused iOS 9 ad blocker – Marco.org

Marco Arment:

Today, I’m launching my own iOS 9 content blocker, called Peace, to bring peace, quiet, privacy, and — as a nice side benefit — ludicrous speed to iOS web browsing.

It’s using the Ghostery database to detect a website’s trackers and advertisers. I’ve been using Ghostery for quite some time now for Safari on my Mac and it’s something I don’t want to miss anymore. A lot of websites load considerably faster and I feel safer using it.

And with iOS 9, it’s now possible to do the same on iOS. Well, unless you have an ancient iPhone 5 like me, which is not supported. I bought Peace on my iPad Mini 2, only to find out later it’s not compatible with my iPhone. :-( First world problems, I guess. Anyhow, it’s working a treat on the iPad!

[Update]: Well, apparently no content blockers can run on an iPhone 5:

@jpwain: @marcoarment No support for iPhone 5? (Not sure if that’s content blockers as a whole or just Peace…)

@marcoarment: @jpwain All content blockers require 64-bit at the OS level, unfortunately.

Last weekend my copy of severinkoller’s “Vienna” was delivered. It’s beautiful! And it’s very likely responsible for going through another film-phase again. Some negatives from yesterday are still waiting to be scanned. I also ordered more film and some additional home-lab supplies.

This photo was appropriately captured on film. And it is inappropriately not in focus, because I still mess it up with the Trip’s guess-your-focus-distance mechanism.

Olympus Trip 35, Kodak Tri-X, developed in 1:50 Rodinal for 13 minutes, negative scan with Epson Perfection V200 Photo.
