somehow instead of saying “as a treat”, I’ve started using the phrase “for morale”, as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

Started writing an article about SSO with Django, which I'll likely publish next week. Unfortunately, no time for open source projects this week.

I'm also getting used to my new camera. While the basic handling and lenses are the same, the post-processing is quite different. I’ve been using Apple Photos for the past few years and was quite happy with it. However, the new Nikon raw files aren't supported, so I have to decide between using a raw to DNG converter, as I discussed last week, or Nikon NX Studio. Currently, I'm trying the latter, but Nikon's software is somewhat odd. In some ways, it's fantastic — colors are great, you can use the same picture control settings as on your camera, and even upload custom looks to the camera. On the downside, it has serious memory leaks, quickly consuming all of my 32GB of RAM, and is also quite slow, requiring frequent restarts.
