24. Sometimes I get into some new stuff and I'm like "man, what the hell is going on here?"

I am pretty much entirely into apps, whether they're runnable binaries or behind a webserver.

So, I never see lower level than that.

And I seriously don't spend as much time as I should on the apps.

I take ba-zillions of photos, and just reviewed today's batch.
At the end of the day, I barely get past some level adjusting and a tad of sharpening, and that's it.
I used to use the amazing xv program, (we are talking 80's) which, IIRC, was the first to let you adjust the light levels on a curve.

I should be using one or more of digikam, photivo, darktable or RawTherapee on the raw files.
Photography takes a lot of time. Long walks.

Good exercise.
