August 2024
The movie starts slow, but I think it is worth it. At times it reminded me of a vampire film minus the (sparkling) vampires.
Adopted together after a tough childhood in an orphanage, Nica and Rigel realize that unexpected but irresistible feelings pull them together.
The frog king and his minions.
I really liked these tips. It is nothing new but it is good to read about them again in one place.
Our toilets got a makeover this week. The whole mechanism for the water release from the tank was exchanged, and the water path was descaled by removing the bowl from the wall. We should have let this be done earlier. It is so nice to have toilets again that actually flush. And after more than 20 years of no maintenance, it was high time for it.
I might watch this movie for the sake of good old times.
TIL: You can play Hockey under water.

Another Fail with coding with ChatGTP
Here is another example of using ChatGTP for a simple problem, and it returns compiling code that is totally wrong. I needed to get all the neighbors in a spiral pattern from a given starting point. I initially forgot to specify that it needed to be a spiral and that I wanted the code in Swift (the first time it generated Python, which I have omitted1). I have a grid with a given amount of columns and rows.But you don’t need to wait long for another bad episode. Every time they get an external helping person they are the ones who did it in the end.
The investigation of a famous dead astronaut found in Battery Park has hit a dead end, causing Stabler to ask for assistance from his old mentor, Dick Finley, a former colleague of the victim and an astronaut himself.
⤑ Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 10 Episode 4 (Lunacy).
Ok, I needed to watch many episodes of this series but every now and then they managed to make a good episode. I liked the story and the acting of the daughter and grandmother.
Stabler is shocked when his daughter, Kathleen, becomes the suspect in an investigation to catch a trespasser. He seeks his estranged mother's help in dealing with his daughter's case.
⤑ Law And Order Special Victims Season 10 Episode 3 (Swing).

⤑ How to Make an Escape Room on Google Forms - Teach with Holly Rachel (via Tom Scott (newsletter from 2024/08/12)).
I’m with Tom here I love when users find creative ways to (an)use a tool.
When it is too hot for warm food.
If I could decide, I would live virtuously, or rather, I would like to live in a world where using LLMs is a neutral-positive thing. However, if we think about it, nothing is neutral or positive, and everything has trade-offs.
The sky over the swimming pool.
I did the reasonable and spent some time in my shop today. I built a jig to create round discs with my disk sander.
I just started reading The Writer's Study Guide: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by Savannah Gilbo.📚
Why is it so hard to get the UUID of a iPad (or iPhone) under Windows? Wasted so much time with this yesterday.
Why does my mind now think I could build a replica of a mechanical calculator?
We survived the night and did not get wet!
Sitting in a tent on my parent’s lawn somehow brings me back to my childhood. I hope the tent is still watertight as its raining right now.
🎂 Today I’m marks the one year anniversary at my new job – still love it :-D
@V_ glad you still love it ????
