Sure would be nice if Apple allowed different versions of Swift compilers to be downloaded/installed as components in Xcode, similar to their simulator download support.
Great, let’s add yet another version of Xcode on my Mac… Up to 5 Xcodes now, just to cover all the Swift versions used in projects I work on. #SwiftLife
I wanted to spend more time in this room, but I only had a few minutes because we were about to move on to the next building. Those with a keen eye will notice I added some light here in the room through the archway on the right, because without it the room was blacked out like the doorway on the left. I just leaned my phone on the ground just inside on the left side of the archway and turned on the flashlight.
Just watched Nanette by @HannahGadsby. What an incredible thought-provoking perspective on the gender turmoil in society today. Check it out on Netflix if you haven’t already.
I think that’s the first time I’ve actually swizzled an init method. Was only half-expecting it to work.
Xcode build: 16 errors.
Fix two syntax changes.
Xcode build: 109 errors.
Another long hallway with side light. This building had some renovation done, such as the walls being stripped of their original lead paint. Obviously still a lot of work to do for a full renovation.
Another one just asking for black and white. You could spend a couple of hours in this small room exploring the light and shadow.
There was so much color in some of these decayed rooms. This photo was processed as an HDR to bring out some more color in the ceiling and from the bright light on the trees outside.
I always look for natural frames when taking photos. This archway worked well for that.
Sometimes the inside looks like it should be outside.
The tile-work in this room was so colorful. To think of what it must have looked like when brand new…
Sometimes the best shots are behind you. While taking the previous posted doorway photo, I turned around to see this. I loved how the room was so large that the light coming in through the far window almost looks like a point light. And where did the missing section of pipe go?
A door to another room in the attic. The way the light was falling through this doorway made me stop in my tracks. I tried a few different viewpoints before settling on this one.
The attics of these buildings were something else. Ventilation pipes and criss-crossing beams everywhere. The day I was photographing this saw temperatures in the mid-90s, so the attics were unbelievably hot. But the photos were soooo worth it…
So I’m changing how I post to social media. All text, Instagram photos, et al will be part of my micro.blog at words.mikepj.dev. I’ll crosspost some items to sites including Twitter (for now). If you want to see everything though, subscribe to words.mikepj.dev.
Some photos just beg to be processed in black and white. This is one of them. I also punched the contrast to really make it pop.
I’m starting a new photo series on Instagram, captured at the Traverse City State Hospital. The asylum is in the process of being renovated, but there are several dilapidated buildings to explore.
I use various methods to backup data to the backup NAS.
For the primary Synology unit, I just use their Hyper Backup with a single-copy rsync. For the Mac, I use Time Machine to iSCSI volumes. For local/remote Linux VMs, I pull using rsync.
