He/Him. Web developer in the UK. I blog at https://matthewdaly.co.uk/ and created https://www.highperformancelaravel.com/. Also on Mastodon at https://mstdn.social/@matthewbdaly. I'm inventing a language for swearing in.
Decided spontaneously that I couldn't face two weeks off work just at home so booked a last minute stay in an Airbnb by the seaside.

Having a kitchen to myself made me more willing to experiment and made shakshouka. Not convinced the end result is great (egg is more boiled than poached) but OK

Worst financial advice ever...

I have no abilities with image editing but ChatGPT did a decent enough job...

Trying to get Gemini and ChatGPT to generate something like "Where's Wally?" is hilarious. He's always front and centre. It's genuinely like the "Find Waldo Yet Again" gag in The Simpsons, like he's not even trying. Case in point...

Linus decided I wasn't paying enough attention to him when I was putting my washing out to dry today.

So he climbed up into the rotary clothes dryer...

Early this year, but too late to call it a New Year's Resolution, I realised I hadn't done any sort of art since leaving school 30 years ago, so I decided to learn to draw. Needed a hobby that didn't involve screens of some sort.

This is the first drawing I'm not embarrassed to show anyone...

I find this a bit rich. Elton John is fair enough, but Simon Cowell has done more than anyone else I can think of to make music a commodity, and a licence to print money, and now he has the brass neck to complain about an LLM potentially eating his lunch.

I plan to use the term "Fox Cinematic Universe" at EVERY LAST OPPORTUNITY in future - www.salon.com/2025/01/29/i...

If I saw that I would be worried I was about to get a visit from the Dark Brotherhood...

When the user counts hits 20M do we get cake?

And evidently ChatGPT agrees:

Where I grew up there's a regional dish called lardy cake. It's a type of tea bread, but literally has cake in the name. As such, it can be called either bread or cake. I think banana bread probably falls into the same grey area.
