It’s amazing what you can get at home when someone else is entertaining the kids! Even started the 10 summits write up on my radio blog. Mostly just scaffolding of folders, files, metadata etc. the advantage of writing them up on the forums first is I can pretty much just copy the text. The only thing is sorting out the photos. I like to compress them first and then add to the folder. My routine is fine, perhaps not most optimal but it works.

As I take all the photos on my phone, I edit them on my phone - mostly just press auto - then upload them to Dropbox into a folder structure. I can use Dropbox to rename them all upon upload, and it also converts them to jpgs. On the computer I use compressor.io to optimise the images. Probably I could use some program but this is easy, just drag and drop. I then put the images into the folder that has the post. Probably Quarto has some sort of image optimisation add on or functionality but haven’t looked into it, plus this saves space on the git repo.

I have been wondering how I could incorporate the log file into posts. Ideally it would read the file and add details and maybe a map etc. I could also integrate the SOTA API, retrieving data from it to show. Haven’t really looked into that yet. I also like keeping a separate copy of all my info and not relying on their database.
