Cellardyke again …. well, almost

Posted on by Brian Scott

I said I was going to to to keep up with my days down in Fife and on the 26th, I created my next post ….

Only I didn’t. I was doing it all on my Android phone and made two mistakes.

  1. I didn’t check what I was creating
  2. I created a page, not a post
  3. (I thought there were two?)
  4. I tried correcting it with copy and paste ….. on my phone

So here we are almost one week later, back home and attempting to fix that / those mistakes.

Ah the joys 🙂

My apologies if you were actually following my days, normal service will resume today, one week late 🙂

Suffice to say, it was a really good week for walks and wanderings and for photography and birding so, see you in a wee while with Sunday 26th.

See you again soon.

Cellardyke again …

  1. I am glad I am not the only one who prefers a computer to a phone. I find phones fiddly, clumsy, and often lacking some of the functionality i rely on on the computer. I also hate the feeling of diving into a tiny screen to get anything done.

    1. I completely agree. I’d also add that viewing Brian’s photographs on a phone, scrolling past them like TikTok videos, doesn’t really do them justice. His images deserve to be looked at on a larger screen, where you can appreciate the details, composition and atmosphere he worked so hard to create, rather than simply swiping to the next one.

      1. I only access the WordPress content from my Mac, and use a gallery with one photo in it for each of the images on my blog to enable the photos to be viewed full screen.

      2. I try to do the same David, I rarely use Image, people can’t enlarge those. I have tried sharing from Flickr, for example as a central repository but that brings issues with it.

      4. Thank you very much Marc, much appreciated. I often despair of those garish, blurry images with huge amounts of “Likes” and wows because too many these days only ever view images on their mobiles. Hence I don’t do Insta etc.

    2. Definitely with you there David, mobiles have their place, which most or too many people forget, they’re a great tool but should NEVER be master of your time. I haven’t had a laptop or tablet for a long time and keep convincing myself I don’t need one …. when I’m at home.

      1. Totally agree with your approach. I try to always have my phone with me when out walking, but more in case I need to call for help than to answer calls, except from my wife. I mainly use the iPad in place of a notepad, with a app that lets me just scribble whatever I want without it trying to correct me – it was ideal for meetings at work that went all over the place. I also use the iPad for creating mind maps of speeches I give through Toastmasters and as a reader for when I can’t get the hard copy from the library or I am travelling and don’t want to carry a pile of book. For photography, WordPress, Mie Storie, email and anything that starts with “go online and . . .” I use my desktop computer. Keeping everything in the cloud now, helps in that I can access documents on my phone if necessary, but that is a fall-back rather than a normal operating approach.
