"The Tides · Of Life"
The creation of the sculpture

This video shows how the #sculpture was originally designed as a logo in #Softimage #XSI and rendered in different styles over the years

In 2024 we finally made it into the wall #lamp it always was supposed to be by 3D-printing it in four pieces on a #Creality #Ender 5 Plus

From your window you see the street lamp across the road is flickering. Bit weird. You've never seen it do that before. Wait... You see a figure. Is that a person? No. It's just the flickering. No, hold on, it is a person. They'll catch their death out there! It's so cold. Wait, those "Missing" posters around the neighbourhood for that kid - What if it's him? You have to go out and check. God, it's been days, he might be hurt! You walk briskly towards the street lamp. The air is freezing. You get closer "Hey! Are you okay?" "Hello! Do you need any help?". The figure turns towards you. Your blood runs colder than the air around you. It stares. It's not the missing kid. It's the reason he is missing. Oh God. How fast can you run? How fast can it run?

Replaced this electric lantern in the barn with a LED projector. Much less romantic yellow light, but I can actually see something in there after dark. Also I won't have to sell a kidney whenever I forget to switch it off over night.

It's actually a pretty robust and well designed housing, so I want to restore it and eventually hang it on a lamp post somehwere, with a yellow LED bulb inside.

Some thoughts on my preliminary investigation of #Omeka ( omeka.org/classic/docs/Install ).

Built on pretty standard #LAMP stack.
No official docker image that I could find, so of course I built my own.
Which reminded me why I HATE php.

Anyway.

Some light testing (running locally).
Pretty simple to use (good).
No fancy ideas about creating "presentation" versions of items, and keeping the original upload "pristine". I am of two minds on this - for now, not a problem for me, but I can see how large archives might be problematic.

For example, a MOV file needs to be presented as a MP4 for widest audience. And you probably don't want to lose the original.
With Omeka that means some manual work on the admin side.

It support plugins and themes - I'm of two minds here also. Good way
to extend functionality and allow for customization, but my experience with such things are not good ito longterm stabililty and maintenance.

I'm also not super keen on #MySQL as the db, due to recent corruptions issues with my #Nextcloud instance (moved that to #PostgreSQL ).
BUT, this will be read heavy, so maybe not an issue - hard-ish to corrupt a db by reading from it.

The useage of #DublinCore at least means (I think) in theory, if I really want, I should be able to migrate to another Dublin Core compatible system if needed. So...good.

My verdict - I'm going to play with it some more.
Install some plugins etc, see what happens.
I'm also building up a test set of assets, in case I want to eval something else.
