Never done this BlueSky thing before but lets give it a try and kick things off with my most recent composition Echos of the Río Este, a short symphonic/tone poem inspired by my Easter break in Touguinhó, Portugal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAuQ...

I ran an experiment on YouTube.
I deleted my entire history, subscriptions and liked videos then just started watching shorts to see how long it took.
I got my first AI slop video served after approx 3h of watch time.

A few years ago I wrote 3 (very) short stories that were kinda loosely linked together.
In two of them I killed characters.
At the weekend I read something real but relevant so went back to those stories.
I've now written 6 stories and 4 are dead.
All very deliberate accidents.
Oops.

I finally bit the bullet and decided it was high time I tried once again to maintain a blog.
I can absolutely 100% pinky promise that this will not last more than 3 posts before I forget where I parked the domain - I'm simply not that organised
but until then - you can find it here choclab.net

My first experience with voice recognition was this parrot called prody from creative labs that flew around the screen and "reacted" to voice.
Years later came Siri, Google assist and even Bixby
None of them could understand a full blown Lancashire accent
WTF makes you think your AI can?

A fun little project I've been working on for the last few weeks
bmx is a bubblemix driven Tmux session and Kubeconfig context manager written in go
When dealing with lots of clusters every day it's easy to get lost where you are. I wrote this to help me maintain my sanity

Sharing the GPU with a vCluster running inside a kind cluster.
This turned out to be easier than I expected.

It's my better half @roshanathambyrajah.bsky.social last night in Spain before flying back to Manchester to face the ice and snow so I cooked Donald with cauliflower and potato cheese in plum, tangerine and white wine sauce.
This is definitely one of my better creations.
