Reading the X100VI website makes me want to get one, and sell all my other Fuji stuff to soften the blow. It does have quite a bit more than my X-E4 and my previous X100F. I don’t use a “big camera” that often anymore (which is a shame) but it’s nice to have one and think I’d prefer the X100. I’m always debating about which lens to pick and I still don’t use several of them - likely bought after reading reviews or blog posts where people say the xyz mm is the hidden gem or secret weapon and proceed so say how unique the rendering is and the colours and blah blah blah. I buy it, use it, and go “I don’t know what they’re talking about but I won’t admit it”. Then never use the lens as it’s an annoying focal length.
Probably my problem is solved by the fact the camera isn’t in stock anywhere.
I try not to get sucked into stupid arguments online but it still happens from time to time. I get annoyed with myself and think that the best way to avoid it is to delete my accounts. Probably that’s just as childish.
The 3D printer is annoying. Nothing sticks to the base plate and keeps coming off. I’ve cleaned it and calibrated it but still stuff comes off. I’m not sure if you’re supposed to replace the base plates periodically? I see there are 3rd party ones which are supposedly stickier.
I’ve also been thinking that I might end this blog…it’s had a good run for four years but I might move it to a DayOne journal. I’ll still write out stuff but being private means I can go even deeper or cover items I don’t want to put online. I’ve thought about having this plus a separate one but that’s too much. I think it’ll help me add to the family journal if I’m already in DayOne. I’ve had DayOne for 15? years now, it’s such a nice app. I hope I write a bit more on my main blog as a result. I’ll leave this repo, so I could come back if I didn’t like DayOne…for some reason. I did move for a while to Tiddlywiki and then back, so perhaps this is just the same thing.
