EXCITING NEWS! I have NOTHING - repeat NOTHING - in the diary for me to do today.

I mean, there's things I COULD do. And arguably many things I SHOULD do. But nothing I HAVE to do.

Current me, in cloud form.

So recently OpenAI has been stomping around my (silly, personal, non-commercial) website using GBs of bandwidth in a rather rude, arrogant & brutish manner.

We were going to block it, but Mr Tech pointed out that it had got caught in the Riddle-o-Matic, some silliness that we made about 25 years ago (for reasons unremembered) & it is consuming never-ending nonsense.

"It's basically ChatGPT poison" he said. "Shall we leave it?"

"Aye, may as well"

Bloody cheek though.

That feeling when you walk down an old town street, exclaim in delight at the most amazing gateway, then read the sobering information panel about how it was funded by the slave trade.

This is the Powis Gateway in the Old Aberdeen University campus, and is a beautiful location with a sorry story behind it. At least the history is being acknowledged. More info here:

OK, we all see this yes? Yes. I don't know why I bothered scribbling really.

Found some rusty old buoys having an existential crisis at the lochside.

Getting distracted by lichen now. I'd forgotten how excellent this spot was; really need to head back. Maybe I'll find out what this one saw that disturbed them so much.

A bit of classic English art for a Sunday afternoon; Constable's The Hay Wain (1821), with added Myfanwy & Friend (2024).
