Disentangling...

I'm working on getting myself out of the Amazon ecosystem, or at least less deep in it.

One of the big steps is evaluating new credit cards as I've had an Amazon-branded Visa card from Chase for... a while. That's going well, but is slow.

In the meantime, my other major point of entanglement is photos. As an Amazon Prime member, I've had the pleasure of unlimited photo storage for a while. Over 20,000 photos and videos over the years. As I'm canceling Prime later this year, I needed a new hosting solution... and I didn't want Google or Apple.

After some recommendations from friends, I'm going back to Flickr... which still has my old, old stuff.

The current fun part is I have the Amazon Photos app downloading 20,000+ photos and videos to a folder I've told the Flicker uploader to automatically upload.

This is going to hopefully not take more than all night.

and ... done?

I ... I guess that's that.

My group members stepped up at the last minute and helped out with the paper, so I turned that in on Thursday. I also explicitly abdicated all responsibility for putting together the five-minutes-each video recordings for the group presentation. I recorded that last night, realised this morning that it was actually under five minutes but also how to fix it, re-recorded it, and sent it off. And just now I hit Submit Quiz on the final.

I'm ... done? Grades will be out at some point to confirm that I did in fact pass, both "sufficient unto graduation" and "sufficient unto my own arbitrary standard". (Pretty sure I did, but grades for this class have been Not Terribly Forthcoming, so there's the possibility of an unpleasant surprise. Not at all likely, but possible.)

Onward. After credential: chop wood, carry water. Time to get (more) serious about ye jobhunt.

You cannot know what happens next.
