Forever fascinated by how things work and spending most of my days working on Soundscape https://scottish-tech-army.github.io/Soundscape-Android/. Music, family and geography with some clothes making thrown in.

Prompt with "Draw a black dog on a white horse". The picture is a rudimentary black animal on a white horse side on.

Such a great idea!

It's definitely up to 100% conscious.

I saw it at the Glasgow Film Theatre and it was great. A few extra ripples of enjoyment when various local alleys appeared on screen. I suspect that they had to tidy some of them up so as not to appear too dystopian...

It's a good job I took the advice to scale up my raven farm, this is just the opportunity I've been looking for.

"The Ayatollah of rock'n'rolla" is still one of my favorite culture smash ups.

I just had a flashback to 'read disturb' which used to corrupt microSD simply by reading them. It was a real problem when looping video playback and reading the same files over and over again.

microSD can be very reliable, but definitely the cheaper (and older) they are the less good the wear leveling. However, the cards marketed as High Endurance really are very good.

Googling "cortical labs stem cells" mainly tried me that I really wish I hadn't.

Do you get The Adventure Show on BBC in England? It's great for smaller sports events like the Strathpuffer and various mountain triathlons. It seems to run irregularly, but it's been going for years and I think it's great.

A photo of a TV screen showing MOTD Behind the Scenes on iPlayer. There's a screen with a crappy looking digital clock mounted on top of a 2 by 2 grid of TVs showing football matches.

About 20 years ago I wrote a quick clock widget for our new BrightSign digital signage players. Mostly I worked on video and audio software, but having a clock was better than not having a clock. Most users moved on to HTML clocks, but everyone working on Match of the Day still watches it weekly!

I had turned the radio on whilst cleaning the kitchen and suddenly all the socials people were there IRL (inside the radio and live). It was fab!

I don't ☹️ For triangulation the variation in the streaming delays/buffering will be too large unless you have precise control over the firmware at the microphone.

This is very cool! I have it in mind to set up some microphones to triangulate where my neighborhood owls are, but that would require mics with a known and constant delay. They'd also have to be a long way apart and I'm not sure my garden is big enough...

"Oh those Russians" certainly hasn't aged.

JLB: The Man Who Saw the Future Profile of John Logie Baird, the man who invented television, concentrating on how his dedication and drive made his achievements possible, presented by his son, Malcolm.

I really enjoyed the BBC repeat of JLB the other night. It's from 2002 and feels older, but way full of interesting details. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074ntb

Many, many years ago I spent a summer working in the sound department of my local ITV studios. The bowls was by far the dullest from a sound perspective. If you were lucky a breeze got up and blew over a microphone and you'd have to go and right it. They must drink a lot of tea when it's indoors...

They are rightly very popular with visually impaired and blind people. Services like be-my-eyes work seamlessly with them as well as ai 'describe what's in front of me' features. Tech that works well for blind folks is rarely mass market and is usually even more expensive.

Is it always two short listed traitors that come into breakfast last? Or have Rachel or Stephen ever been last in? I thought it was like that in all of the previous series too, but I'm not sure.

We managed to hold off until secondary school too, though this was almost ten years ago. The last straws were that the first design and technology project was to "build a stand for your phone" and lots of suggestions in classes to "take a photo of your timetable"...

Is Get Stuffed still there?! I only know it from visiting friends many years ago and had assumed that it closed when the owner was jailed 25 years ago.

The tree outside my window has been making faces at me.

A large ash tree, bare of leaves. The branches make the outline of a face along with two eyes and a glum mouth.
