Apparently the ImageMagick -depth option is per channel (color / alpha), not per pixel.

Hope you had a happy Toby day. I got my plate sticker (barely could get it to stick in the cold), worked, had lunch with a coworker at Saffron Patch, had dinner with my roommate at Aladdin’s, and watched an episode of Castle.
Mac Update: Snow Leopard to El Capitan
A few weeks ago, I finally made the jump from Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to 10.11 (El Capitan) on my primary computer. I had been using 10.11 at work for months, but not at home. I was probably one of the last holdouts on hardware that could be updated.
Continue reading post "Mac Update: Snow Leopard to El Capitan"Happy new year. I rang in the new year with my brother, cousins, and their partners. Pot-luck dinner, pool playing, watching videos, watching a strange and uncomfortable new years broadcast, and playing ‘Ticket to Ride’.
Feels good to get over the hump on a project I was struggling with and finally basically finish it.
Yesterday was quite warm for December, reaching around 60. I took advantage with a nearly three hour hike.

Even though I was tired after baking, I just wanted to be completely done. I spent most of the day between these desserts (planning, buying food, baking, cleaning, etc.) and final Christmas gift purchasing and preparing. I made pecan tassies (every year) and a gingerbread loaf (first time). Merry Christmas.
Almost 7 years later and I still occasionally have dreams about working at the Winking Lizard. I just awoke from one where I had gone back, first day.
Continue reading post "#1318"After a recent OS and Firefox update, I found myself with a window with 120+ empty tabs in place of several hundred non-empty tabs that I’ve built up over the years. I thought they were gone. Luckily, the Tab Groups plugin that I use (formerly built into the browser) automatically backs up the tabs when it is updated, which had happened 6 days before. I was able to recover 465 tabs. Yes, I have a tab problem. I find articles daily, and often don’t have the time to read through them right away, so I save them. I leave open pages I find in searching for solutions to problems I’m not yet ready to solve. I’m trying to read through or bookmark tabs over time, but I think I’m adding faster than subtracting. I must say, Firefox was super fast with 465 less tabs, and I would feel less scattered if I got them under control, so I will try to put more effort into reduction. I think a better bookmarking system would help a lot with that.
Woo-hoo: Four day weekend! Happy Thanksgiving, all.
