I'm late for the #PortfolioDay but here it is:
I'm Fércalcer and I'm trying to illustrate those feelings and ideas that come to my body and mind. I like pencils, watercolours and the straight lines of vector. I work with #gimp and #inkscape

This 1590s cradle is still kept at his mother’s house, Stirling Castle (in case he returns as a zombie prince?)

This is the same King James who ordered the Authorized Version of the Bible, known popularly as the King James Bible, to be made.

@darth #openBSD - to give some indication of how simple the installer is: I installed it myself and I'm using it as a daily driver, and I'm such a noob I haven't figured out how to mount a USB stick yet. Seems very secure indeed 😀 I managed easily to give it a GUI, office suite, web browsers, #freeCAD, #GIMP, #nextcloud client, & #flightGear. As a computer ignoramus, I'm really impressed by how easy it is. One day I will understand the disk partitioning too 😉

One cheap Chinese laptop worked fine except for the trackpad, another one has to be left overnight to boot up (the text-only installer boots swiftly so I guess it's most likely an X problem) and the WiFi card isn't recognised. Moral of the story: you'll probably have an easy life, but probably get a thinkpad if you want some degree of assurance.

It's like art to me: I don't understand it the way the artists that made it do, but when I see a system as carefully documented and thoughtfully constructed to be as elegant as technology seems to permit... Well, I feel like I know it when I see it!

I don't think it is far fetched that popular cinema film types colour, pun intended, our perceptions of memories and vice versa. In this popular illusion the coke can consists of black and white stripes. A person can check in #GIMP or similar application with an eye drop colour picker. And, without my phone I've managed to distract myself with 3 minutes doing and 20 minutes thinking. Orwell was half right on distrusting your eyes.
