Hello and thank you very much for listening to this episode of the Billy Newman Photo.
I was just talking about terminal stuff and SSH and another podcast just a little bit ago and I guess what I was going to say is how much about terminal do you know? Do you know any terminal tips? I was going to try one out today talking about it. It might be kind of tough. I'm sure that's what you're interested in listening to your Alexa right now. Wait, I mean echo, sorry. I was going to mention the commands if you go to your Mac or you go to a Unix system, as it were you open up terminal. A couple things that you can run, I'm.
Like, I guess two commands that would definitely get you started would be the LS command in the Bourne Shell, so the Bass Shell. The LS command is like the list command command. So when you type in LS and then return, what you're gonna have happen is it's gonna list the contents of the directory that you're currently in, in text and command line. Oh, man, it's pretty exciting. You're gonna be excited when Flash.
You can see more of my work at Billy Newman Photo.com. You can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look up Billy Newman under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on the desert on surrealism on camping. Cool stuff over there.
I think like October well September October and in November I really like maybe one of my favorite outdoors seasons and it's probably kind of set up that way for a lot of people that have a tradition of out on hunting trips through October or you know like going out on opening day or something the fall it's really one of the best times to go camp and it's when you get to kind of take or make use of all the equipment and stuff you sort of procured over time.
Great time doing that but like the hot weather camping.
I know it's a it demands a little less I guess it's kind of obvious but the environment is sort of something that you don't have to contend with as much and in the deep winter the environment's probably too much to contend with so there's a cool kind of pocket that I like as like an ideal but a cool kind of weather in these like northern Oregon areas after you start getting like a layer of snow or a significant and the emergency level drops back down to green there's a lot.
Camping stuff is when you get to set up like a bigger fire, gather some wood, gather some big logs to be kind of like your fuel for the evening. It's kind of fun and it's sort of like that more, I don't know, a lot of the year, like in the summertime, like hot weather stuff, you're kind of like doing it around water, or you know, that's like we would do stuff, you would do rafting of.
Fishing boats and stuff, guided tours and stuff for some of the lower river stuff, or just people out on there, they kind of set up and prepped for fishing trips. But it's cool, yeah, a lot of, a lot of enthusiasm around some of the fishing stuff during this time of year. In fact, really I want to get out and do you. I got my fishing license I haven't really caught a lot of stuff that was a keeper worthy. I picked up a couple things out of the.
Dude, a little tiny... A little like tiny sunfish or rafe. What is it? Yeah, I think it's a little sunfish, like these... Like kind of like a blue gale.
A lot. You know. She's a little better than a minute, but yeah I want to try and get into doing some more fall fishing stuff through now until like the end of the year and I think there's a couple good seasons that I come on that's that's kind of a thing for that kind of a thing for a stock fishing kind of thing but I'm trying to get a little bit more into like what I can harvest, what I can prospect.
Pick up a little bit of information about what kind of rock hounding I can do in that sort of area, or what kind of foraging stuff I can do, or what kind of like wood gathering opportunities I have. So I've been trying to do some of that stuff a little bit more often, like, I don't know, to email me if there's some of the cool stuff to do. But yeah, it's been cool. I've been cool, like now in the fall, like, in the coast, coastal range,
I really don't understand like mushrooms and how those mushroom rings work or how they like their population work but yeah it's really interesting how they grow in just like certain patches like where they are there'll be more of those or not there won't be it's kind of if I don't know it's just weird going around and finding them but we find one you'll find like more around in that area like a good climate for a while though a lot of a lot of October still has been really just a little we've getting a little rain here and I'm glad there's some systems moving like systems moving through like a good.
Pretty good weeks, but as you get a few days with sort of a, where you get like a strong frost or freeze overnight, that really messes with the growth of those mushrooms. And if you get them consecutively for like three days, that'll really knock out anything. For one of them, you know, the mushrooms, it grows so fast. So if you have a, you have a freeze, you have a freeze, a hard freeze on Monday. But then it warms up, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Just out by like a apple tree. It's cool that they come on but they come on in like I think kind of late September is when they start to pop up this ring out there and then there's some other areas that I've noticed some around town too it seems like it's just like a certain time of year and boom here's all these as soon as the conditions get met right but yeah right where those are they come up and then they last about maybe five days a week that the rest of the grass around it so yeah it seems like it seems like it seems like this little the lawn pretty well but yeah, I think there's like another growth of them coming on now which is kind of interesting how they come on a couple phases but there's some fresh ones coming up in the ring area around it and then those will I don't know those will kind of last for a couple days and then wilt out over I guess do.
But it's cool. I'm checking out some mushrooms and stuff around here. But yeah, I've been trying to go out and sort of see what I can forge around for, which has been kind of fun. I'm not really sure what other sets there is.
What is it, Elderberry?
Here about that being looked for and I remember now this is another one I remember seeing a person it was a strange circumstance I was driving on a forest road out on the mountains here pretty deep in the mountains and didn't see any cars around and didn't or didn't pass a car to drive up you know you see a car then you're like oh or so and they were all on these stacks and then there would be like a kind of a plywood thing or I don't know what it was maybe newspaper or something paper but the number was like more stacked on top of that and then another layer and more stacked on top of that. But yeah you just had this big bundle and these sticks with these big broad green leaves on.
It and he was standing there on the edge of the road that we were at go by and then we drove down the rest of this road and yeah we never saw a car or anything that he was staying in but this guy was out here collecting green sticks and leaves so I'm not sure where that is it looked like I think it's like kind of because it kind of people sort of found out that you can go look for it and people are going looking for it it and if it's that good then I must want to go look for it's.
Going out looking for so mushrooms and stuff outside I hear people talking about like picking more wells and I guess those grow I guess this must grow in a different environment like a different terrain or whatever it is I hear about a more like for like in the east or like the Midwest so I'm not really sure but I know like there's.
I don't really understand how that works, but I don't understand what allows there to be like a morale versus a good spot for a shantrel to grow or a portobello or what is what are those regular white ones just as primity just regular ones that we eat and stuff so I'm not really sure what what kind of like allows you to farm some but not farm others and that's a big one that you can't effectively farm morrel mushrooms I guess you can't.
You can harvest them in an area that is set up as an optimal environment. That's about as good as they've had it. Like they've found like where they're growing and the time of year that they grow well and they try and optimize for that they can go through and harvest more of it out of it, but they haven't been able to take, I suppose, like an area that didn't have the correct environment for it and then sort of artificially grow more than the landscape than the landscape would kind of bear naturally.
I think it's mycology and a mycologist for studying mushrooms, but I also think there's like agriculture.
Interests. I think there's like a food industry interest in trying to generate mushrooms of different varieties so that they're like a commercially available product. So I think they're trying to like work those things out. So sometimes it's mycologist at that level trying to study it and figure that out, but I think sometimes it's like.
I don't know different companies and groups and teams people trying to sort of sort of figure out ways to sort out those problems with growing and harvesting some mushrooms and stuff. I'm not really sure I got. I really don't know anything about it. you're just going to likely make it sick. If you don't really have much ease in it, it's kind of difficult to go out and do that easily, you know, because you're just going to gather some stuff that may look like it may look like it,
That will I think kill you or get you really sick and like sick in like a neurotoxin way but then I think there's like a number of them that are just in edible in a way where they'll I guess one from a range make you very may make you get an upset stomach I was kind of confused about that why would you eat it? I was kind of confused about that you can eat it it's like.
It's not what why I mean it's me it's a thing I mean it makes me sick right like any rotten milk too right just makes you sick like I don't want it I don't know but I've heard of that is an explanation for stuff also I don't know you explanations for eating natural things sometimes so uh but yeah I was hearing about this thing where you can you can put a you can put a bunch of a different species looks almost exactly the same.
And then identifying the sport, like, you know, one sport pattern will be like blue-ish or purplish or, I don't know, whatever. And the other spore pattern will be like a yellow color, something like, do you like, oh, well, like this one, like through this kind of spore and this one didn't. So like now we can identify this is this as this, this specific mushroom. I thought that was weird though, like how to kind of figure that out, but, fortunately, like, like, that's what's what's what's cool, that's cool,
Top and then with these imposter ones. I guess there's kind of like a hard angled joint there where you see the gill line start. And then the gills kind of come out from there with like a deeper, a deeper sort of cut to the hill ridge with some finer material, but those aren't good to eat. I think those are a little bit more of a white color. There's white chontrels too. I'm not sure how that goes.
The difference between the white shantrails or the golden shantrails.
I thought it was like sun exposure like if they were kind of bleached out from being sort of hidden under moss or something they always seemed to be like a lighter kind of well yeah just like a real light color but then I thought the ones that were out in the sunshine had to sort of defend against that like got like more of a color to them but I guess they're kind.
A different set of mushroom types, sort of I understand, but I've collected both of them in sort of the same areas and if you find one then it seems like you find both of them, so I'm not sure how that goes. But I've appreciated kind of collected them and it's cool to dry them. That's what I've been trying to do is it's hard to eat through all those mushrooms, fresh as they are when you're harvesting them, I'm harvesting those mushrooms all at first time while they're fresh. It's. so that I can have them kind of the rest of the year.
That I know like or like you know like when you thought out like it's not really the same material anymore at all so it's like you have to kind of put it into a a sauce or something like that so I was thinking like the cell damage that you get after freezing it would just be like way to let's all within that cell mass at the chantrel but when you put like take a cut of a chantrel that's like a kind of a thicker hardier one. You're one. You take a cut of a cut of a cut of a cut of a cut of a cut of a cut of a cut of a cut of a cut of the cuter hardier one. come down and filled the cell walls and now it's being released as you start to cook it. Man, that's a lot. No way. So, I don't know, it's kind of cool. It's cool going through October.
Of this is kind of been trying to go out and do some rock counting stuff. It's cool I've just kind of been jetting over. I mean this is like kind of the old and easy classic one, but I've been jet over to the coast. Kind of keep an eye on the high tide and low tide times of the day and up the month, but it's cool to jet out there and check out what rocks are sort of washed up on the beach.
There's some seam or something in there. I was like that kind of stuff too where it's a kind of combination and stuff but been going out to the beach and trying to find some rocks and stuff through October and trying to kind of get out and do some more active stuff I'll get into some of the camping trip stuff that have done here a little bit but yeah trying to go out to eastern Oregon and check out some stuff and to poke around and.
Thank you.

I've been liking it. It's kind of fun to be checking out some stuff on it. What's the other stuff I had to talk about? I think it was trying to figure out some stuff on like my Mac laptop. I've been trying to set it up more so that it has the full set of applications all that information in the network in and out speeds that are current and the history of the network up and down speeds, I guess over the last day or, you know seven days.
Stored anymore which has been interesting to go through or just these just straight duplicates where you know the the photo got pulled in it's just the raw version twice and it's you know there's no difference between it and it's good also to it showing you like or letting you compare like these two are said to be the same do you want me to kind of automatically go through and take them out I don't really recommend that it seems like it might some window up and you drag it over to the left.
Fill the full screen if you bring it over the right side of the screen and snapping stuff isn't really on the Mac it's always sort of been set up to do these sort of multi window painting things but I kind of like it snapping over to the side and it helps when you have some bigger monitors to where you know you can kind of grab over to a side with if you have a couple it's thist app which I think is kind of interesting it's um it's like a app. So every computer, I think, since we started getting graphical user interfaces, I think since, as I recall, Windows 3.1 had, you know, a clipboard in it, but that's when you do the copy, paste stuff. If you copy...
Or copy or paste. If you cut or copy something it goes on to your clipboard and then when you paste it, it's pulled off the clipboard and paste it in to where it's going to go. But it's really the computer convention, for whatever reason, is just set to that. You can only copy or cut one item at a time. And if you cut again or copy again, there's really no history of it, or there's no way to track back the level of things that you've had copied or cut, if you want to paste those in. So it can kind of add in. So it can kind of add into some frustrations. But this. But this. But this, but this.
That you're hit like a command on the keyboard it'll pull up the bottom third of the screen and you have this history this row this like timeline of all the different times that you've copied something over to your clipboard and you can go back to as far as a month or maybe even more than that and it'll share it with ICLAD too so if you have different computers you can.
Thanks a lot for checking out this episode of the Billy Newman photo podcast. Hope you guys check out some stuff on Billy Newman photo. A few new things up there.
