The Immigration Station at Angel Island is a fascinating piece of history. It's amazing how unwelcoming we were to Chinese immigrants while the station was in operation, and how ineffective all of the unpleasantness was. It's a racist mirror universe of Ellis Island. Get a guided tour if you can. I've visited the Immigration Station a couple of times and also hiked around the perimeter (which is spectacular), but this trip was the first time going up to the top. The Angel Island Company site suggests that this is a 6.5 mile hike but my GPS thinks it was 5 miles and so did the fact that we made it back in time for our planned ferry back to San Francisco.

Get off the boat, head right and up the hill to pick up the sign for Sunset Trail. This takes you up to a spur about half a mile from the top that is well signed for Mt. Livermore. There are a few picnic tables and an annoying mast that makes it hard to take the panorama that this peak is so obviously calling for. On the way back down head right at the first opportunity to follow North Ridge trail back to Ayala Cove.

Hike starts at: 37.868337, -122.434656. View in Google Earth.

I converted an ASP.NET MVC web application to 64-bit in order to use dlib and it immediately died with a System.BadImageFormatException (Could not load file or assembly 'xxx' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.)

Assuming I must have a stray wrong-bittedness something lying around I spent way to long with the assembly binding log viewer (Fuslogvw.exe) trying to figure out what I had messed up. But eventually I realized that Visual Studio was launching a 32-bit version of IIS Express to debug a 64-bit web application.

To fix this select Options from the Tools menu, expand Projects and Solutions, choose Web Projects and then check Use the 64-bit version of IIS Express for  web sites and projects. Problem solved.

(Probably shouldn't have this component in the web application - the plan longer term is to move it to an asynchronous process somewhere instead.)

Black and white photo of light streaming through a foggy forest.

This photograph captures a mesmerizing forest scene where the viewer is enveloped in a labyrinth of intertwining trees. The presence of bare branches interlaced with dense clusters evokes a serene yet intricate dance of nature, as sunlight slants through the forest canopy. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to the image, drawing attention to the contrasting textures of rugged bark and soft beams of light. The focal point is the central tree, standing as a pillar amidst the tangled web, while the sun’s rays pierce through, illuminating the hidden depths of the woodland with a celestial glow.

The photograph employs a beautiful interplay of light and shadow, adhering to the rule of thirds by positioning the beams of light slightly off-center, adding tension and dynamism to the composition. The choice of black and white emphasizes texture and form, guiding the eye through the complex structure of the forest. The use of natural lighting is exquisite, capturing transient beauty as if freezing the breath of the forest itself. However, the dense cluster of branches may seem overwhelming to some, possibly creating a sense of visual clutter. Nonetheless, this congestion serves to depict the realistic chaos inherent in nature, making the photograph both enlightening and enigmatic. The dreamy quality of light, coupled with the detailed intricacy of the trees, offers a sumptuous celebration of nature’s subtle intricacies.
