Apologies for the non-art posting as I'm job hunting. Unsure if this will work since I mostly see tech-job postings, but shooting my shot. Boosts appreciated #getfedihired #fedijobs #jobsearch

Philippine-based person looking for work in landscape architecture, urban planning, transport planning, or anything where my skills are applicable in related jobs. Would consider work in climate change also.

Skills in technical writing, AutoCAD, Photoshop, InDesign, SketchUp, Lumion, GIS, illustration

Today the flower of Orange Hawkweed.
As the name suggests it is actually a weed.
But it has beautiful flowers!

Hello! I'm Jeff, a software architect near L.A.

From 1994-96 I ran a dialup #bbs with >1,000 users sharing 8 lines (oof). By the end it provided MINIX shell accounts + Internet email via FIDO. I've been online ever since.

I've been building Cerb.ai (formerly Cerberus Helpdesk) in #php + #mysql full-time for nearly 21 years. 1000s of teams use it for high-volume shared webmail + workflow automation.

I'm also interested in #aws #docker #machinelearning #german #boardgames

#introduction

Yesterday's Pratchett novel title was: "The Shepherd's Crown"

And that's the last of the #DiscWorld titles 😞 Sure there are a few others left like "Nation", "Dodger", and the "Bromeliad" stuff (not to mention "Johnny") but those don't really count as much here. I was reluctant to do this one since it feels (almost) like reading the last DiscWorld novel (and I haven't read anything much since then ...)

But time moves on and I guess we must too?

i boosted this site earlier but i think it deserves more explanation. this is a search engine for images that shows you the copyright status for the image right there front and center and you can filter for them. for instance i grabbed this copyright 0 image of an echidna from there. and it even generated a citation for me: "Echidna on the move" by CazzJj is marked with CC0 1.0. i think this is a really easy way for getting a reference image while ensuring the person who took the image consents to its use! https://openverse.org/

I saw this little guy yesterday and I can't stop thinking about him. So round. So pink. #borbs #borb

(It's an Australian pink robin and the photos are not mine.)

A total of 93 papers in the cs.CV category on arXiv.org today — 61 new, 32 updated going in to the weekend …

So yesterday’s low paper count was definitely not a slowdown 😛

Updated Akkoma on our server to the latest. New graphs, yay!! Hopefully, nothing broke though since I’m always scared of stuff breaking once I’ve updated since I’m always in a rush …

I ended up testing our new Neural Telephoto feature by shooting with iPhone SE for a while. I loved the shots I got out of it w/ native RAW and the extra reach of the virtual 2×.

I was quietly minding my own business taking photos of Bullfinches (small/far away) in a tree when this Robin came and perched right in front of my camera and demanded to have his picture taken. How could I refuse?
