I'll never get tired of white-lined dirona #nudibranchs 🥰 (Dirona albolineata). Now that Hood Canal is entering its summer state of algael blooms in mid-water, they're a bit harder to find and photos have more backscatter. This beauty from last weekend, 30m or so. #underwaterphotography #macrophotography #scuba

Throwback to "Crazy Mary" (real name redacted for privacy ), my favourite 'Eua (Tonga) #humpback resident from last time on the islands. This year I'll be off Ha'apai, and hope to spend some time free diving with her again! #whales #underwaterphotography

The grunt sculpin (Rhamphocottus richardsonii) is one of the weirder fish in Hood Canal. I'm yet to see one out of its little home. But you'll be the first to know if I do... #underwaterphotography #scuba

Beautiful opalescent #nudibranch spotted at exactly 40m last night drained my no-deco time but was so worth it. 😍 Summer conditions at Hood Canal aren't great... From around 5--25 metre, depending on tides, the visibility is quite poor. Above and below still work out! #weloveslug #underwaterphotography

About view of Mount Hood (Oregon) from last week's Mount St Helens (Washington) summit. #mountaineering #alpinephotography Can't wait for more ice this coming week! Probably the last climb of the season. So early... 😭

As always, a fabulous view from this morning of Mount Hood (with a cloud cap!) from Mount St Helens. #mountaineering #alpinephotography

Does computer #history interest you, or maybe you're just curious where well-known and well-used tools come from? I've just updated the History of #Unix #Manpages, https://manpages.bsd.lv/history.html, with the content you didn't know you wanted til this very moment. Learn about how the "man" program came to be, and just why are manpages styled like that? It includes snippets from Cynthia "Cindy" Livingston, who wrote the manpage language "mdoc"; John Eaton, who wrote the first GPL man tool; Doug McIlroy, who helped to divide manpages into sections; and more. Did you know that serving manpages online was part of one of the original http daemons? Or that an xman existed before X11R6, in X10? Enjoy!

Doing some research for more #Unix #manpage history goodness... Does this look familiar? The old-timey mv and chmod from the #CTSS programmer's manual, 1963, MIT.

Did we ever get bored of juvenile east Pacific octopuses? No? Even in the coldest, darkest of Hood Canal dives, I love finding these tiny fellas, switching to low powered lighting, and just watching them explore. It's hard to tell whether they're east pacific or great pacific octopuses (the former sometimes have three "eye lobes" is all), but in the latter case, it's amazing how something so small grows into something so huge! #scuba #underwaterphotography #macrophotograpy

It was a snowy dive this morning in Hood Canal, Washington, which I guess is... normal?... in late March? Nice visibility and little jellies making for fun black-water macro. Very few nudibranches to be found, but I had a fun time with one of the local seals lighting up her fishing grounds. #underwaterphotography #scuba
