Hanging out with the boys. Cookie is a little unsure about the scraggly little baby. Romeo thinks Cookie is the coolest thing he has ever seen.

I've been working on something that I am really really excited to be able to share soon. I've worked with WordPress for a long time now, and most of that time has involved ACF. No more.

Aiko's learning network engineering. She isn't very good, but she tries her best.

Inspired by yesterday's trip, I've decided to have a go at spoons carving. So far so good, although the cramps are kicking in

Visited the Centre for Alternative Technologies open day. Haven't been since September 1999 and I was so grateful to be able to visit. I have a photo of 11 year old me sat in the exact same seat. I'll try and find it

Silly wasps, they should have applied for their Radioactive Materials License.

A news story card that reads:
Radioactive wasp nest found at old US nuclear weapons site
The nest with 10 times more radiation than permitted was found at a facility that once produced parts for US nuclear weapons.

This has to be the most focused on a project I've been for years. Just a few more tweaks then I'll get a demo put up.

Just a small project I've been working on today. Impressed with the results so far, but time for bed.

A screenshot of a web app called Catalyst. It's on a white background with a very minimalist look. It reads:
Catalyst Your Executive Function Assistant. Enter a prompt below.
With an example prompt asking for assistance writing an email to the users boss asking for a raise. There's a grey results box below with some AI generated output describing how to go about writing the email.

24 hours later, but I've finally managed to get Ubuntu on this Mac Mini. Apple really goes out of their way to stop you doing this.

Spent the last few weeks getting on top of the garden. Storm Darragh caused a lot of damage to the trees, leaving so many fallen branches that we have enough firewood to last all year.
