A lot of my time is being taken up by simply trying to stand still on the software side. I've made major progress moving bitweaver over from PHP7.3 which this server is running to PHP8.4 which is the current build.

OK, had a session doing the first 6 parts of this project. Took a couple of hours in all, but some of that time was sorting out pictures and finding tools, although a little forward reading would have helped there. The gallery of images has been uploaded, and that in itself was helped by some development work in the new Plasma6 desktop. I actually updated the exif data on the pictures to include the…
