Using a Sony ZV-E10 + Sigma 16mm for Zoom/Riverside. I get the framing right with the camera’s zoom lever, but it resets every...freaking... restart. I have to get up and fiddle it behind my elgato prompter. Any advice? I suspect OBS is the answer, but haven’t wrapped my head around a reliable workflow. Got a setup or guide you recommend? If you have a camera/lens that you can maintain the frame in the camera... I'd be curious to hear about your setup.

TFW you realize you've spent nearly 30 minutes on the phone trying to move a departing flight by 60 minutes... and getting close to telling the agent this isn't worth it anymore.

Update: after 32 minutes... of my Saturday... my Thursday in two months will have a better hour. I don't know if that was worth it. ...but a nice reminder that even money can't fix time problems.

the mental load of managing several hard problems at once does not get any easier with more compute

Been a bit under the weather... so naturally, I started building a new macOS scrobbler app for those of us using Apple Music as our daily driver, because the official @lastfm app hasn't been updated in ages and we get a warning that'll stop working. Where my scrobblers at?

This is a great week to give that one difficult client their two months' notice that you won't be able to continue supporting them at their current rates in 2027. Yes, letting clients go is scary... especially when the revenue is predictable. Think about what you could do with that capacity. Give your best clients more attention, grow those relationships, and make room for new ones. You've probably been having this conversation with yourself for six months anyway.

Finally got the email. The @harvest rate increase isn't so bad... it's only 6x. 6x cool.

Honestly, I think a landscaping business right now would be a stable option for some.
