I asked ChatGPT to make an image of the path of Hurricane Milton and to focus on Florida. This is the image that GPT hallucinated. I can't tell if I'm more fond of the state of Northern Florida or the name of the water south of the Gulf of Mexico Mexico.

Damn it I'm an idiot. I was trying to figure out why the 8 chairs I ordered for the holiday for our guests were so damned cheap. Turns out I ordered slip covers, not chairs. Now I have 24 hours to figure out chairs for 8 people. F*&#!

It's been so long since the days of Pre-Russia LiveJournal that I feel like I've forgotten how to write/blog. A friend put a bee in my bonnet to try streaming; but I have no idea what to do with that. Hell, it took years to figure out an app and a podcast. I guess I'm just slow of ideas. :-/

I'm reaching a point where I'm tired of blending in and hiding among the masses. I want to be out and proud. I want to be the one demonstrating for people's rights. I want to make waves and help institute change.

So, I think I'm going to be slowly migrating my personal posts from FB to here. The audience is much smaller. But the vibe is so much better.

Today was a dive into the lower APIs to look at CIImage and CGImage. Some truly old "magic string" APIs. But a good grounding to understand filters.

Short day. Knew most of the material going in. This makes me happy. I'm learning advanced stuff on my own and having it confirmed in the lessons.
