I understand that some of you will have objections to this (for perfectly reasonable reasons), but this is all AI.

* Song (Suno)
* Image (DALL-E)
* Lip sync (Runway)

I think it's all pretty impressive.

When people have an unfortunate name and that leads to you getting an incredibly scary email :-/

It's not every day you wake up and find you're featured on the front page of the site you use to sell your books!

Here's a great way to guarantee I'll never use your company again.

The "call a general election" petition just passed 2,000,000 signatures. Still completely pointless though - parliament plays no part in the scheduling of general elections.

I'm surprised that as many as 18% of Brits support Trump. I guess I don't talk to many Reform voters.

I described PerlDiver to ChatGPT and asked it to produce a diagram of the system. It didn't do very well :-/

But if that whets your appetite at all, I'll be talking about how it actually works at the London Perl Workshop on 26 October.

Twenty-five years ago today (13 Sep 1999), an explosion on the dark side of the moon blew the moon out of its orbit and sent the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha off into deep space.

It seems I should thank Rebel Wilson for some traffic on the Line of Succession site.

Four years ago today. Not only was I right about it being our last restaurant visit for a very long time but, sadly, Oldroyd never reopened.

I probably will update the Line of Succession site to use WebP images soon. But "saving up to 0.0 seconds of load time" really isn't the convincing argument that Diib seems to think it is.

The country looks completely split on this vitally important topic.
