Redwood National and State Parks this weekend. In conjunction with the recent new moon, water heights associated with low tides exposed interesting rocks and allowed for different viewpoints of the coastal features.

Redwood National and State Parks this weekend. Sediment is being redeposited in the coastal areas with waves and tides arranging and rearranging the deposits.

For some time now I am using the #fish #shell on my laptop. Pretty nice default setup. Setup some prompt (#tide) for it - which includes #git information.

Big mistake (the git thing). Unlike the #zsh way in my previous shell, this one is actually annoying to work with. See, I have a bunch of repositories checked out that need special handling to access. Say, SSH key *always* with passphrase *and* a keypress on the yubikey. Or having some changes locally that make a fetching from upstream fail.
In #zsh that may have make the thing run into error - but it didn't show up to me as a user.
In #fish it means the prompt will *ALWAYS* ask me for a password/to press yubikey or tell me about the failure to fetch. AFTER EVERY SINGLE COMMAND, even a simple ls.

Annoying, really. Cache this info, would you? Appearently it won't, so gone it is. (Which makes it a bit less useful, so why switch everywhere? Ahwell, still trying, but meh)

Redwood National and State Parks today. Days with a modest tide make getting around quite easy (A note of caution for those who are troubled by insects: this is the time of year when small biting insects drift in the coastal area and their bite far exceeds their size).
