You do what you think best, I say.

Short of using some sort of remote trigger, for which it would be perfect, I don’t think you going to get good pics of birds with a phone.

And where are Capa’s bird pics anyway?

Very fine.

Just thought I'd check that this thing is still on … And it is! Although I am not sure how I might use it in the future. So many sites, so little time.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Take good advantage of it and look after yourself.

For yourself, or as a service to others?

In the first case, I would say sure, do what you like.

In the second, I would say no.

Agreed absolutely.

I don’t myself see the value of railing here - unless you think of this as a kind of personal notebook - because few people here care. Whereas many people who build and use the things you are railing about do care and in my experience are unfailingly open, polite and receptive. I know you have had bad experiences with some things in the past. I just wanted to suggest that smart people have already put a lot of thought into something you are thinking about and that there may be things you could use in the things they have built and are using.

Or you can continue to do absolutely everything yourself, on your own.

I expect they’re using a MacBook Pro.
