My circa 2010 Mac Pro tower has been dying for a month. More specifically the video was failing, and I could only boot into safe mode.

eBird tells me I saw a moderate 287 species last year. There are probably a few here and there I didn’t report. 169 of those were in Kings County. I didn’t travel to any new locations this year, so I only managed four life birds (and three if you don’t count the invasive Pin-tailed Whydah) but they were all really good ones:
- Hammond’s Flycatcher Central Park–The Ramble US-NY 02 Dec 2017
- Corn Crake Cedar Beach, general area US-NY 08 Nov 2017
- Parakeet Auklet Land’s End–seawatch US-CA 25 Jul 2017
- Pin-tailed Whydah Canyon Park US-CA 17 Jun 2017

I still need to repoint the DNS. So far I notice one bug. http://www.elharo.com/blog/ works but http://www.elharo.com/blog doesn’t. Probably need to fix a handler in app.yaml.
