Custom QR Code with white text on transparent background. Yeah, no, don't bother logging in to some random fly by night site 🙄. #Python
import qrcode # uv pip install "qrcode[pil]" qr = qrcode.QRCode( version=1, error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_L, box_size=10, border=4, ) qr.add_data('https://spectrumferret.com/') qr.make(fit=True) img = qr.make_image(fill_color='white', back_color='transparent') img.save('spectrumferret.png')

Onya: an open source #KnowledgeGraph system with a literate bent for the #LLM world, based on my Versa work. In all my experience with #LLMOps, it benefits greatly from a more literate approach to supporting tech, hence Word Loom, Amara & Onya.

Next up in this interlocking series of updates for my #FLOSS data processing & #GenAI workflow projects: Amara. Around since the mid 2000s in various iterations, it's been re-consolidated & updated. URL/URI/IRI, #XML, #XPath etc.

On this day in 2014. Denver Westword interview, which flows with this time of year anyway, when I start to get very itchy to write, and things are also tending to heat up in my work in tech. Logic in braid with #language.

Alessia Russo for Balon d'Or, but Chloe Kelly for **Palme d'Or**! Out of this world charisma, and just make-shit-happen-ability.

Parents of young kids→Mega Ran's new album. Tots & B-Boy parents alike can enjoy his stuff. Golden Age-style bars to accompany tooth-brushing? 3rd Wave Ska-style about a dino jungle gym? Straight pop about the library? Good stuff!

I stand with Amy Lawrence (Handbrake Off Podcast) against the plague reign of the most apocalyptically bad song in popular rotation: Sweet Caroline.

Original is intolerable enough, but chuck in the drunken college coed extra of "so good so good so good", and we're talking aural war crime.

My love for #football is kinda bonkers. I play 5-6 times a week. I watch an absurd amount. I coach (Albion Boulder West 2013 Girls!❤️). Then we see how #Arsenal women are fêted across 3 continents this week, and realize: Oh no, loving this sport is not bonkers at all. It's human!

A fave go-to when I need a smile. DeQn Sue covering Chaka Khan, with a young Chaka's abundance of personality. Kelvin Wooten doing absolute MURDER on that talkbox—same drum patch you know from Roger Troutman's catalog. This right for the vibe!

Wifey just asked me, now the match is over, what I'm going to do today. I said "I have no idea!" What a day! From Leah & Kim thru Mariona & Laia, Kelly getting her smile back. Lotte's late rearguard for home club. Unfairly maligned Stina. The stories go crazy!

Was joking with my son about sysadmins & said:
I've never met a socially normal sysad
I then reflected that could be bullying #language & corrected to:
Every sysad I've met tends away from the bell curve centroid in multiple measures via popularly normative perceptions 😅
