Dairy farm kid turned geek, regretting getting into tech despite how well it pays the bills. Spend all day explaining how computers work to people that get paid to know it, but don't.
At pretty much any moment of the day, I would rather be outside.

Good affordable steel road bike frames? IS/post disc brake and rear rack mounts. Right now Milwaukee Bicycle is winning the search game.
My kid has claimed my nice carbon road bike. I'm now of the age where smooth steel is where it's at.
AI Cultist: Here's my prompt to organize my day and saves me a whopping few seconds every day. Everyone should do this.
Me: That's great; looks like it's very personal and with what I do that would have no value.
AI Cultist: Yes, but it could be useful for you!
Brains are fucking mush; no other way to explain it.
Fun day so far.
Tornado sirens blaring at 1:15am.
Got back in bed around 2am.
Rosie (cat) decided to scratch at the door for a long time.
Then my brain decided to solve the systemic issues present at my place of employment. It failed.
I know it was 3:30am when I last looked at the clock.
Up and at 'em at 5:15 am for work and it'll be a long day as a bunch of stuff is moving to a datacenter halfway across the country.
More CowPileIt horror at work. The management in my dept put out a slack thread for us to share our wins with AI so other people can benefit and we build a great prompt library.
So, I shared a test of one where it took 10 minutes longer to assess a system due to AI that I only do thousands of times per year.
I put who can use it as "everyone"
Am i doing it right?
Can't wait to show them how i can use it to summarize an hour of all company sit and get and save 55 minuter per person 4x a year.
David Attenborough turns 100 years old on the 8th of May.
He is a human who has spent his time loving the diversity of life on this planet. His documentaries helped emphasise the biodiversity crisis while also infectiously spreading this love of other species.
My partner and I are thinking of having a small, gentle event on the day to recognise his life. Maybe a walk with friends, taking moments to stop and acknowledge the creatures around us.
Want to join us, wherever you are in the world?

I stuck my neck out publicly on this yesterday and the private messages I've received for calling it out are humbling. Gotta stand up to this shit.
