I'm a bit of an eclectic mess ๐Ÿ™‚ I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

Iโ€™m thinking of writing a serialised story on here since Akkoma gives me plenty of space for writing. Maybe do something where each instalment is about a 1,000 words, accompany it with StableDiffusion images (or images generated by StableDiffusion that my wife modifies/tweaks โ€” we talked about it, but still figuring out that part โ€ฆ) and do a part every few days or something?

I have a story brewing in my head which is perfect for this but just need to find the time. What with work and the AI papers, weekdays are kind of full and I really need the time for things to percolate properly if I want to write and itโ€™s fun. So maybe write over the weekends and publish over the week?

Still thinking about this โ€ฆ Itโ€™s a fun story that both my wife and I have worked on for years, but this is a totally different take on that, and so essentially, a new story ๐Ÿ™‚

Tusker is really coming into its own for me. Iโ€™ve done a bunch of changes to make it work better on macOS as a Catalyst app (mostly to do with remembering placement of the windows and such) and have added in notifications since I forget to check for new posts if thereโ€™s no badge on the app โ€ฆ

Still have a few things Iโ€™d like to fix but overall, I still like the app and how much easier it is to modify than most of the other Mastodon app code Iโ€™ve looked at recently.

So looks as if Iโ€™m going with Tusker and will continue to tinker with it. Most of the stuff Iโ€™ve added is rough and needs polishing but then I need to find the time to do that, donโ€™t I? ๐Ÿ˜›

Hey Mastodon, Iโ€™m trying to help find someone doing research involving human facial EMG recording. (e.g. levator labii and corrugator signals) You know anyone? Heard any rumors?

I created a story in my mindโ€™s eye about these two when I saw them fishing on this little bayside dock. I imagined that theyโ€™ve grown old together & still enjoy doing the little things in life as a couple ... things that are the glue that make a relationship last.
