Jakjak that catcat says the photo galleries are mostly just cat photos. She is a fluff butt.

It's an ATB2 Type 4 coupon with no pre-printing and no magstripe sitting on a laptop with the a portion of the screen and part of the keyboard, just the number and function keys. And if you didn't know, the ATB2 thing is the formal designation for the size and shape of an airline boarding pass or ticket or whole host of other document types that airlines used to issue before the e-ticketing mandate of 2008. The card itself is being used as a server update checklist and carries boxes for all the various steps I have for server updates, the name of the customer, the server name, the time the updates should start, the time they should end, and a formal drop-dead time to fall back if something goes wrong. There's even a big box for any notes and of course the JIRA ticket number is there, because everyone likes to get paid. The white balance is way off because this was shot on a cell phone.
I should really clean my keyboard.

New Toy Alert

I bought an ATB printer. Did you know that if you remove the binding tab, an ATB boarding pass is the same size as an 80 column punch card?

I WANT TO SEE!
Did you see the eclipse? Did you take photos? I want to see your photos! Be sure to tag jhavard on whatever platform you're on. It may not be me, but if there is one thing I know about everyone that goes by jhavard it's that we all like the same things.
OUR TOP STORIES
 
The sun during totality

Eclipse 2024

Havard didn't show up to work and the sun disappeared from the sky. These two events were related. The most surprising thing is that I took time off work.

a deteriorating building being overgrown

Meridian 2023

There was a bit of serendipity in that I was planning a quick trip to get some use out of the recently-arrived Pentax 645D when a friend from up north asked if I could hit up an estate sale in Meridian.

trees, swamp, you know the drill

Cypress Swamp 2023

Cypress Swamp on the Natchez Trace, near Canton, Miss.

greenery, soft focus

Soft Yard Work

I love proper soft focus lenses, and to some extent, soft focus filters. Emulating the effect digitally rarely achieves the exact same feel. Not to mention, much like the fixed, tangible, and permanency of film, using a soft focus lens or filter is an artistic decision that can't be undone. Once shot, you have forever committed to the look.

it me
Join us today for a live call-in show where Chungo McCorbwald is joined by celebrity chef Zippo Liberdingus. For today only, watch Chungo and Zip talk about the best ways to prepare, enjoy, inspect, and then consume brisket. We will later learn the optimal technique to convince everyone to not come to your house just because they can smell your third brisket on the smoker this week. They can get their own brisket, or stay hungry. (7 p.m. CT)
