Running ComfyUI in Docker on Windows or Linux

Every time I mention running ComfyUI in a Docker container on social media, I inevitably get a bunch of people asking me how I do it. There’s no official ComfyUI image, and Docker isn’t even mentioned on the ComfyUI GitHub page. So, here you go… Basically, I roll my own ComfyUI container. On creation, it…

jaWordPressHacks – Fixing bad productivity in WordPress

WordPress used to be wonderful. Sure, it was fairly basic, but it allowed for a lot of customisation, allowing you to really make it your own. This was particularly true when it came to the post editor. Then Gutenberg came. That was the beginning of bad WordPress decisions. Ok, so, Gutenberg isn’t quite as bad…

Rebuilding the home network with 300+ new ports

This post is mostly a brain dump to remind me what my line of thinking was when I revisit this topic a year or two from now. You’ll find that I post these now and again. Writing things out helps me make sense of them and spot things I might have missed. Anyway… Networking. My…

New Beginnings…

You’re actually reading the default “Hello, World!” post that comes with a fresh WordPress installation. Rather than simply deleting it and making a new post, I’m editing it to give it new life and meaning. I’ve been going through something similar myself over the last couple of years. I love making content. I’ve always loved…

The YouTube gaming channel experiment

Recently I’ve been running some experiments with a second channel. The goal is to test out some YouTube theories and try to make some useful conclusions. I’m not able to put out content for my main YouTube channel as much as I’d like right now. So I figured perhaps a gaming channel would be a…

What is “Sync Speed”?

Most people who use flash understand that your sync speed is the maximum shutter speed with which you can use flash.  What people generally don’t know is why. “My camera goes all the way up to 1/8000th of a second, so why can’t I use flash past 1/250th?” Well, this is really all down to how…

“Do you photograph babies?”

My reply to the question posed in the title of this post is usually something along the lines of, “It depends.  What type of baby?” Then the conversation tends to go one of three ways. The first two answers are the obvious ones.  I either hear “a little boy” or, not surprisingly, “a little girl”. The third answer is…

Calibrating an iPad Display!

So, this is interesting, and while datacolor have had a Spyder option for a while, its calibration is limited to its own software (unless it’s changed since I last took a proper look at it). This new offering from X-Rite, released in March, looks rather good, though, and it seems it has an API that…

The Bluebells Are Back

Yesterday was spent out with a friend scouting a few of the locations I discovered last year but didn’t get to properly shoot at the time of year I wanted – the time when bluebells are out. Last year was a strange one, with the longer winter they arrived a couple of months later than expected….
