My sister, Alissa, is in town for the weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day with her kids, who both live in the Boston area. She joined us for dinner and will spend the night before heading into town, where her clan will try their hand at candle making.
With heavy rain for most of the day, I tackled an indoor project that has been on my to-do list for some time. When we designed the house, I installed a TV in a purpose-built nook at the end of our main hallway. We use it to display family photos from a set of about 300, automatically cycling every 3 minutes. It brings us no end of joy. I have long wanted to set up a similar arrangement for my landscape photographs on the TV in our great room. Unfortunately, for various technical reasons, I have not been able to create a satisfactory solution that does justice to the images. Today, I connected an AppleTV to the system and took the time to select and prepare about 200 photos for display. I am very pleased with the photo quality, but this workaround still has one flaw. Images cycle every 20 seconds, which is about ten times faster than I would like. Unfortunately, this is a limit set by Apple software, and my search for a better solution continues.
