  • We got back today. The trip was alright overall but everyone was a bit sick in different ways. The room was tiny, so I’ll have to be not so cheap next time I decide to go somewhere.

    It would have been alright but my girlfriend felt like she was going to throw up most of yesterday so we didn’t have dinner out, which means the boys spent all evening wrestling each other in a tiny hotel room.

    Otherwise, we did the dinosaur park, the mornington tourist steam train, and got a great tour of the flight training airport next to the hotel. It was a good trip but a little exhausting at times dealing with the kids.

    There are things to do down that way if we went there again, but I don’t think I’m going to rush down for another trip straight away











  • I used to think I was bad at graphic design and creative work, but now I think the problem is Adobe software. After being able to punch things out in GIMP, Inkscape, and Davinci Resolve, I tried to do some basic work in Premiere Pro at work and hit the same walls I did in Photoshop.

    Maybe the problem isn’t me, it’s that the software is laid out like shit. Plus, the workflow for every adobe product is different, whereas there is at least some consistency between entirely separate FOSS equivalents.
