Future Plans:

I have like ten years of data in my log, converted from those prior prototypes. I will be adding ways to more usefully compare and analyse data going this far back.

It could maybe use a milestone function, to track singular events which don't take actual time so don't sprea more...

Content warning:VibeCoding Reflections

Why is it finally ready now after ten years of being a barely functional input-only android app?

A few weeks ago I saw Derek Ross giving a talk and demo of Shakespeare, a Chrome app for vibe-coding.

Explain the app you want, and the model you selec more...

The thing about a life-logger, is you input sensitive data about your life, lifestyle and activities, so privacy and data-integrity are some of the most important issues.

There can be no server, the data has to be yours and yours alone. Because you can’t tell what is happening to the data more...

You see a detective on the TV and he’s interviewing all the suspects asking them what they were doing on the night of the murder a month ago last Tuesday night.

And on the TV, the suspects all know. Right away.

If you asked me ten years ago though, I’d have had barely any clue. If you’re more...

Working on a website for a while until you look at it in chrome and it's horrible and you remember your dark mode plugin has been messing with it to make it look sane and dark. 😆

Gotta remember to turn these things off for the sites you're developing. more...

More of the edging, most of the handles, many of the holes I asked for are there so cables can get where they need to. They've been painting a bit and varnishing a bit and the coving is prepared for the gap above the windows there.

One more day, they say. One more day. I'll have to make more...

So nobody was very impressed and seemed to prefer to concentrate on the cheese and the marmalade made by their friend with his own oranges grown on his trees.

No accounting for taste.

So I got to bring most of it home and finish it off this week.

Sweet sticky delicious and orangy. Thank you maam.

A few weeks ago I was at the live @anonopin.bsky.social live show in London.

My opinions are all so great that I won the top prize.

I took the jar to the party but nobody there even heard of B3ta or Fesshole or AnonOpinion or @robmanuelyeah.bsky.social

You may remember a few weeks ago I was at the live @anon_opin show in London.

My opinions are all so very great that I won the top prize, the first ever awarded. As you would expect and is only correct.

The windowed doors are definitely the thing that really makes it, but the paneling trim going on today helps a lot too. More of that to be done still, just on the draws and chests really. Can't do the short draws because the clearance is too tight and they'd block the big drawers from open more...

Content warning:#yourParty #ukpol

So the temporary placeholder name "Your Party" is made permanent.

None of the options on the shortlist were good. Most of them just as grammatically inconvenient as the dumb placeholder name.

All the windowed doors up now, though some adjustment of hinges is still needed. Lots of the trim to fake the panels painted. There's struts everywhere.

No work being done tomorrow, two men in on Wednesday and Friday.

He still seems to think it might be finished by the end of the week. I more...

Huh, I see that Zip Car UK is closing down, which would be a right pain if I hadn't bought a car last year.

That's a lot of parking spaces about to be freed up I suppose. And a lot of easy-rental cars lying around the city disappearing.

Guess they just weren't making enough money?

Had a nice weekend out in Devon with friends. I had a lovely time. Blustery but dry during our walk, nice time watching them play in the folk band, lots of good friends in the house party and easy walk to hotel near by. more...

A couple of days of just layering varnish and painting which didn't change anything visibly enough to bother with photos. But today, the windowed doors are starting to be completed. Three of them up.

This is what really makes the difference and makes it suddenly reminiscent of the Tardis. more...

Yeah? Eeep.

I'll now go back to not really taking about bitcoin very much at all because it's quite technical and dull and I'm not an expert at all. It's safe to unmute me.

Wonder if I gained more followers on nostr than I probably lost on fedi 😆 more...
