  • AI made me do it – Ideas are like,… butt-holes

    I remember once watching a PBS Science show one evening about cosomology, space and the topic of the Sun seemed to be central to this one episode. I remember a scientist being interviewed and he dropped a statistic, a figure of some sort about the mass of the energy hitting the Earth in the form…

  • I forgot to verify the ActivityPub

    I was just alerted by someone that the profile on Mastodon doesn’t have an verified ActivityPub linkage. So it’s high time I corrected that as I now see that 100% there’s no linkage, just some bare text dropped into the verification table.

    Back at the “turn of the century” (No not that one, but THIS one), everyone wanted a new OS X capable computer, but nobody could afford one. And Apple had a 2-tier system Edu and not-Edu.

    What happens if I add an excerpt. Let’s see if it re-writes that URL from http:// to https://

  • It’s been 20 years for me on WordPress.com

    In spite of current world/local news events there is a small celebration going on in me heart. Here it is, after paying $13/year I made it. Got the badge to show for it (but maybe not the blog entries as such, but still I am here). Here’s to keeping your finger in the pocket, the…

  • The “Big Bus” gives me all the feels

    As I kid growing up heard tales told (by a good friend) who had SEEN the actual movie on the big screen in a real theater. And it all sounds fake and made up, couldn’t believe what he was saying. I thought he was making it up as he was telling me the story. But…
