A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke. —Søren Kierkegaard

Finished.

Libraries are the best

Can you see what it is yet?

I had to go backwards to fix this mechanism and now I’ve git a few bits left over #tense

Progressing

I kid you not, I am building a radio out of LEGO like blocks

Springs been a long time coming

Left ChatGPT, moved subscription to Claude, good. Tried Claude Code this week. It reads the codebase, makes the changes, runs the tests. I kept waiting for the catch. Still waiting #ClaudeCode #AI #IndieHacker

Pi Day was Saturday, sometimes we celebrate with pies at work… π also appears in temperature metrology, in the Stefan–Boltzmann constant: σ ≈ 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W m⁻² K⁻⁴. Every radiation pyrometer depends on it. Even emissivity corrections sit on physics where π appears to the fifth power.

After a Windows update, I couldn’t log on, password correct but not recognised. Two hours of my life lost, but AI talked me through how to remove password…

We’ve come to the theatre with bargain-basement tickets to see 1984. I think it was around 1976 when I first read the book, and back then the year 1984 felt a long way off in the future. My word, it now seems even further away in the other direction #1984

So #Southport has two Victorian parks of past splendour. Plans to renovate this building in Hesketh Park, apparently it was first built elsewhere and then dismantled and rebuilt in the park

Blue sky today

Local #Poetry Night, words and “tables” creating community, with wounds turning to stories

Did I mention that I love the sea? #LasPalmas de Gran Canaria

Moment of truth with @bolt.new Moving from local data single user, to cloud and multi user. Last time this was not pretty… fingers crossed

Back with @bolt.new after nearly a year, seems so much better than a year ago, but even with adjusting models really burning through the tokens. Will try the integrated Database tomorrow- fingers crossed

So we had a light show in town… Lightport

Loving this, £30! Revisiting various antennas #hamradio #nanovna

Martyn Joseph, Liverpool Philharmonic. Sings about getting older, yet reads his hi-tech Welsh teleprinter without glasses 😀 Brings together long-time fans, musicians in awe, and those drawn by social justice. We left connected, hopeful, and reminded to love 👏👏👏 @martynjosephwales.bsky.social

Looking forward to another @martynjosephwales.bsky.social gig arranged @liverpoolacoustic.co.uk - it’s become like a pilgrimage, to be encouraged by hope and connect with others. Hoping for some Troubled Horses.

Taking part in the #bolt.new #hackathon — built something genuinely jaw dropping. Then spent far too long trying to get it to print a page. 🖨️ Current: • Lives in local storage • No user authentication • Deployment??? Will it ever make it to the real world? Time (and caffeine) will tell

Totally unplanned and unprepared… but ended up running the #Bamburgh10K today. Cracking route, perfect weather, and that castle view — absolutely worth it. #Running #Northumberland #10K #CastleRun

My life is changing from watching tokens being burnt up fixing #bolts own errors; to proclaiming this is insane #vibecoding

True facts are true

Can’t believe, as a #nocoder, what I’ve been able to build with #ai for #homeaasistant - custom integration for #hamradio - watch this space… Note to self: #Claude.ai over #openai

View of the week, the weather has been so good

My 80th #parkrun - wanting to get black 100 shirt before the year ends Perfect #running weather again

Built a UK-focused version of VA3HDL’s live dashboard — real-time aurora forecasts, lightning strikes, weather, ISS passes, satellite tracking & live Earth views.... Best on tablet or PC. Customise g0ikv.qsy.to #HamRadio #AuroraWatch #SpaceWeather #ISS #Satellites #LiveTracking #RadioScience

Star of Hope shipwreck at #southport It regularly appears and disappears under the sand Love the #sefton coast www.martyngriff.co.uk/page02.htm

Fabulous #10k #TrailRun through the Ainsdale Pine Woods in perfect weather

Prompt for #chatgpt was create a cartoon strip of a visit to a space themed coffee shop, giving it pictures of the visit #impressed

Who needs #ai to write a letter when you could use Beetons Letter Writing Book?

Fabulous afternoon, and time to go #running Lucky to live near the #coast and a large marine lake

Love the open space of the Sefton Coast, North West England

Spring is here at last, one of those #running days when you just feel it. Getting ready for only my second ever trail run early April

Today a Bluesky and Oyster Catchers

There is a place where you can find rescue #cars and fine #beer

Birthday morning #run in #lakedistrict

The Redefined Kelvin: Progress and Prospects Day2 Yesterday, primary thermometers and the different techniques. Who knew scientific confessions could involve blind experiments and dreams of calibrating thermometers on Mars? 😄 #Metrology #Thermometry #Kelvin #RoyalSociety #TemperatureTraceability

Fascinating AM at The Redefined Kelvin: Progress and Prospects @royalsociety.org engaging discussions on the challenges of primary thermometry, the transition beyond ITS-90, and the latest advancements in primary thermometry, still needing SPRTs Ready for PM session #Metrology #Kelvin #Thermometry

Delighted to be attending The Redefined Kelvin: Progress and Prospects at the @royalsociety.org. A great opportunity to learn from leading experts in thermometry and metrology, discussing the latest advancements in temperature #Metrology #Thermometry #Kelvin #ScienceInnovation #RoyalSociety

Just finished a #HomeAssistant project with persistent counters and graphs to settle our dispute over who gets the most parcels. Valentines Day Surprise! #SmartHome #Automation #ESPHome #ESP
