I just bought blue suede shoes from the shoe company in my home town. They are very nice. Even my stylish son approves. I don't even listen to Elvis. Though I presume blue suede shoes pre-date him too.

The "cruel and unusual punishment" argument against the death penalty - at least by lethal injection - just got a LOT stronger.

A new design on my webshop. It has particular meaning as a pregnancy shirt! Maybe less controversial as a mug. www.cafepress.com/dd/140281586 In honor of President Trump's recent description of the Irish. Who could disagree?

One of the unexpected disadvantages of having a hope office with a view There's a slightly elderly gent in a 7th floor apt across the way who clearly doesn't realize that he's in full view Some things can't be unseen.

My little HubSpot add on for Thunderbird is live in the Thunderbird addons directory. Finally. If you use Thunderbird (seems people still do) and Hubspot (lots do), it helps a lot. addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunde...

The reason engineers or scientists or even software developers often work into the night is very simple and nowadays explainable in AI/LLM terms. The context gets wiped and if you can finish without doing that, it's a lot better. Meantime, off to bed.

I clearly don't understand the rules of twitter. I've reported multiple accounts for saying variants of "All {insert religion/race} are {insert insult}", often in the vilest terms. Maybe one has been a successful report. Ever. What am I missing.

The hard thing with the AIs at the moment is to have them NOT try to overbuild. The idea of a crude POC or crude MVP with "Yes, i know it's crude...that's fine" seems beyond them.

Interesting. I created an MCP for two applications that interact on a business process, then created a skill so that you can ask the system questions (read only!) Pretty quickly able to get the system to answer (in seconds) what'd take a human quite a few minutes to figure out and summarize.

Giving free money to people with houses is a bit of a kick in the face to people without houses. Particularly in a housing crisis. Particularly when it makes the housing crisis worse.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 24/08/2026

Not my first one, but I just tried my first MCP server (i.e. one i built) on something in production. Works fine. SaaS really has a problem. So do organizations, 'cos MCP servers can do things faster and quicker and both right and wrong. Wrong will hurt a lot.

Apparently the most capable and intelligent of the AI models are getting criticized for occasionally over-thinking things. I know how they feel. 😁

Interesting. The two twitter accounts I have that were actual human accounts were suspended for "Inauthentic behavior". They have now been unsuspended. Meantime, the account I have that is (well, was) an actual bot was never suspended.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 11/08/2026

Just seeing my own timeline. I wondered about Twitter having problems a few hours before my accounts started to get suspended.

000

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 11/08/2026

Also ironic, the account that wasn't suspended was actually originally created as a bot, years ago, to test automation features.

After wondering the other day whether X was having a server-side issue, two of my three accounts on twitter were suspended for "inauthentic behaviour". Not causal, but seems that twitter is really struggling as a platform. Ironic that me previously trying and failing to leave twitter may be moot

Pretty soon, if not already, the LLMs will be good enough to answer any question any "normal" person can ask. What's also astonishing is the speed of change of the AI tooling. MCP, skills, etc, etc, Nothing in IT services or SaaS (or software in general, or services) will ever be the same again.

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 10/08/2026

Is it just me, or is twitter really struggling the last while. Often won't load properly. Often I can't see replies to tweets (even my own tweets). Just feels like it's creaking.

000

ᚆᚒᚌᚆ Hugh Sheehy @hughsheehy.com · 10/08/2026

Because the AI will do it quickly. Because he can ask it in chat (via telegram) from wherever he is. Something like that cost pennies, if anything.

Two curiosity-driven clicks into the Irish govt's e-tenders platform brought me to this line "As with all Public Sector organisations, there is no link between performance management and pay or reward."
