I thought so, but you never know.

Disastrous morning here. I noticed last week that some of my Phalaenopsis orchids had something nasty going on in their leaves. Finally checked it out and it seems it may be a leaf rot. So I brutally hacked away at any leaf with damage, dusting cut wounds with cinnamon, as advised, because it is supposed to be a fungicide.

I have five of these, all looking a bit sorry for themselves. The only one untouched (so far) has purplish leaves, which makes me wonder whether anthocyanins may somehow protect against fungal infection.

The body (sometimes) knows what's best for it.

Are those all panoramas, or are you cropping ordinary shots?

Same as over there, but a lot more present.

Interesting. Just took a slightly more detailed look at my AWS charge for the past three months. Data transfer is around USD14 per month, which pays for around 45 Gb of transfer. Almost all of that is my podcasts. 1 Assuming an average podcast size of 20 Mb, which is not far off, that would seem to amount to 2000 downloads a month, unless I've got my exponents wrong. That's more than other stats are telling me, but not by much.

I reckon I can afford to stay in S3 for a little longer, at least.


  1. My static site is hosted there too, but I can imagine the downloads for that are huge. I need to see whether I can break them out.

Only No. 5 really matters.
