If you can’t drive when you’re drinking a beer get your kid to do it.
This guy had just gotten off the Scorpion. He didn’t look so hot.
At the fair yesterday. Perfect day for it. Apparently we set a new attendance record.
I use Tot pretty regularly. Nice to see an update!
Hoping to release this week. Much remains to be done, but I still hope to take tomorrow off to get to the best state fair in the country: the Minnesota State Fair. My camera is calling me.
Using AI
I consider myself a moderately heavy user of AI. I have subscriptions to ChatGPT, Claude, and whatever magic Dia has under the hood. Questions/conversations fall into a few different areas: Coding – mostly syntax help and some interlanguage conversion, but also to develop skeletons to be fleshed out/rewritten; queries about topics of interest (e.g. what’s the general opinion of Neil Young’s guitar playing); and product reviews and comparisons (e.g. camera X vs camera Y).
Pedicures are my favorite indulgence.
Hmmm. Things are going well. Too well. I’m suspicious.
I’m going back to my favorite scripting language: Ruby. So long Python, you can’t say we never tried.
Builds finally going smoothly. Lots of itty bitty details. I have to find a better way to automated this.
Music in my head: The Comedians Suite by Dmitry Kabalevsky. Hey, I heard it yesterday and it’s 4am. It could be worse.
When I have the radio on (MPR’s Your Classical) the “Music In My Head” turns off. I guess that’s not surprising.
A nice G and T to start an evening of cozy mysteries with my favorite person. Using Hendricks and Fever Tree Elderflower. It seems to be a good combination. Mysteries could be Misomer Murders, Death in Paradise, or Foyle’s War.
Current status: Browsers are Dia Pro on macOS/Firefox on Linux. Browser independent bookmarking with Webcull for hierarchical and Pinboard for tagged “Read It Later”. Feedly/NetNewsWire for RSS. I can always move back to Safari if needed, but I’m not sure I will at this point.
Hmmm. Dia takes a little getting used to, but I kind of like it. Sticking it out for a bit longer.
Switching back to Dia for a bit. I like Safari and have done most of my browsing there, but there are interaction quirks that Chromium browsers might not have. We shall see.
Billionaire Russian criminal mastermind in charge of nuclear arsenal meets billionaire American presidential doofus in charge of nuclear arsenal on American soil. What could go wrong?
Music in my head: “Complicated Life” from Muswell Hillbillies by The Kinks.
My little presentation to my photo club on street photography went quite well.
More build work. The new platform we’re building on is exposing a few issues. Those will be terminated today.
