C’est un #VendrdiLecture quelque peu spécial pour moi. Une amie est partie en début de semaine. Elle m’avait fait alors découvrir il y a quelque années #Bukowski et notamment « Contes de la folie ordinaire ». Bisous copine où que tu sois.
"Cogí mi botella y me fui al dormitorio. Me quité los calzones y me eché en la cama. Nada estaba en armonía. La gente sólo abrazaba a ciegas lo que se le pusiese delante: comunismo, comida natural, zen, surfing, ballet, hipnotismo, terapia de grupo, orgías, paseos en bicicleta, hierbas, catolicismo, adelgazamiento, viajes, psicodelia, vegetarianismo, la India, pintar, escribir, esculpir, componer, conducir, yoga, copular, apostar, beber, andar por ahí, yogurt helado, #poem #poetry #bukowski

I'm actually on the tram to come and introduce myself right now.

Applied online then immediately got on a tram. The employer called while I was en route. Three weeks into a job, I'd already documented every incident, flipped the script on HR, and watched my manager squirm. I haven't eaten lunch. That's okay.

I listen to Bukowski's Go All The Way as I walk through South Yarra. The leaves are falling. I'm crying. And I'm going all the way.

1971 And Counting

Today is my birthday! And so I wrote a poem about being alive for open link day and fellow poets at Dverse. Enjoy!

After countless trials, books, web searches, and some brutal advice from my Bukowski AI, I finally built a custom IoT hotspot from scratch using Buildroot 😎

No more pre-packaged garbage. I filter insecure connections myself. Total control 💪🏻

The first prototype works... mostly 😆

Now comes the real torture: testing and refining 🫩

Maybe I'll even try to sell this thing 🤑

Just built a custom AI assistant trained on Charles Bukowski’s rawest works. It doesn’t offer comfort, just cold truths and a glass of cheap wine.

Currently testing it from a noisy suburban bar surrounded by the usual bar flies. If it starts cursing at the patrons, I’ll know it’s working.
