Indian Summer

With England basking in a late Indian Summer, we've been having some terrific sunrises over misty fields:

Autumn Sunrise
I shot this with the iPhone4 and in my opinion the quality and immediacy of such devices mark the death knell of the traditional compact camera.

Also shot these dahlias in the morning light.
Note that these were the real colours and not enhanced in software :-)

I used my Nikon D300s, 70-200 f/2.8G VR II and TC-1.4E II converter for this shot and all the following images, which were captured in the local fields just after sunrise:

Emacs and MacOS Catalina

Catalina introduced a lot of security changes and the most intrusive is probably all the popups asking to give permission for apps to access directories under Home, like Documents. Worse still, apps which weren't written to handle the new security measures might just fail silently with no clues for the user. A solution is to give apps like Emacs "Full Disk Access" under "Security & Privacy" in Preferences, to give unfettered access to your files and avoid all the popups and silent failures. Sounds good, but that doesn't actually work for Emacs because "Emacs" in the app bundle is actually a Ruby script which decides which flavour of Emacs executable to run. This never mattered before, but it does under Catalina because MacOS thinks the executable is /usr/bin/ruby . Conventional wisdom is therefore to give "Full Disk Access" to Ruby. While this does work, I've always been uncomfortable giving all Ruby scripts full access...
