Saying that Tectra has been inactive over the last few months is an understatement. Thankfully, Tectra is back in business! An update for ComplimentMe is rolling out that adds a programmer themed compliment list. Additionally, I plan on working on several other projects in the coming weeks.

I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...
