I'm a bit of an eclectic mess šŸ™‚ 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 ...

Lost about several hours messing around with CoreData yesterday trying to get the List filtering working for Tusker. I think this is why I prefer my own SQLite abstraction layer since then I know what the heck is going on ...

CoreData just gives cryptic error messages and while you’ll probably know what is going on if you work with CoreData all the time, for somebody who messes with it occasionally, it’s all a bit too much.

I was on the verge of adding my changes as JSON files since my changes wouldn’t have added a lot of data when I finally figured out what was going on with CoreData. Whew!

Now I need to actually implement the list filtering and we might be done?

I've been trying out leonardo.ai with a bunch of new prompts since yesterday.

The following are the best results for: "Burning the cradle at both ends" ... and no "cradle" wasn't a typo, that was the prompt I wanted šŸ˜›

I’ve been talking about trying to create a smaller, quieter home timeline and yet be able to follow interesting accounts with a large number of posts/boosts. I tried unfollowing some of these accounts and putting them into a list and, as should have been obvious, it seemed to fail since you do need to be following the accounts.

And yet, my list kept showing new posts but not at the volume that I would have expected from the users I added to the list. And only posts from some users.

I was puzzled about this and was wondering what was going on. I think I might have an answer — it looks as if you don’t need to be following the user to get their posts *as long as you follow somebody else who follows that user*. If the user and you have nobody else in common, then you won’t see any of their posts in your list.

So still not the ideal outcome, but maybe a workaround (albeit one which can have privacy implications) in case you want to go that route, I guess?

I think I’ll simply go back to my original idea of implementing homeline filtering for list members. But that’ll take a bit longer given the stuff I’m working on at the moment šŸ˜ž

How many native plants to plant? Consider:

Mass plantings better attract and serve pollinators, which are losing habitat where you live.
Pollinators are beautiful and calming to watch, which you need more of in your life.
The cheap seeds can be sown directly in the ground and pots for those unmotivated due to lack of experience with multicolored butterflies fluttering around.

Help yourself and the . Plant a bunch.

Aargh!!! Haven’t watched YouTube videos for a while but I think they actually make you even dumber now šŸ˜›

In the space of like 10 minutes, I saw two videos — the first tells me that servers are designed to run only one service at a time (e-mail, web server etc.) and you can’t really run more than one on one server and that you have to add more servers if you want other services …

Then I have somebody telling me that you don’t need to look at videos or follow courses but you can have ChatGPT teach you how to program! That it will go on the Internet and pull the information (this is absolutely false as far as I know …).

Sure, ChatGPT will teach you programming, but it’ll also put in a healthy amount of imagined commands whenever it feels like it and if you don’t know anything about programming, you would have no clue as to what you’re learning is accurate info or if it’s BS.

I think it’s time for me to retreat from the world …

Is Ralf Little leaving ā€œDeath in Paradiseā€? Will we get our first female inspector on the show?

Haven’t done any checking online about these, but just random thoughts floating through my head after the latest ā€œDeath in Paradiseā€ (hopefully, the above are not considered spoilers since they haven’t happened yet …) and seeing Ralf on ā€œWould I Lie to You?ā€ this week …

I think Ardal O’Hanlon appeared on ā€œQIā€ or ā€œWould I Lie to You?ā€ after he stepped down as the inspector …. (as opposed to the Dr.) Is it just me who feels as if ā€œDeath in Paradiseā€ is following ā€œDr. Whoā€ a little bit too closely? šŸ˜›
