A small selection of flowers wild and cultivated
A very fine month indeed, in all sorts of ways. There was a cinema visit, a birthday party, many meals with friends, and a growing sense of contentment with the life I am privileged to enjoy
I succumbed to the offer of a free month with ChatGPT and enjoyed using it to do things like make it easier (but not easy) to move from idno to micro.blog. That was worth it, and I am happy with the move although there is still stuff to sort out, like hooking MB up to some of my other places. Having seen what the paid version will do, now thinking hard about paying for Claude instead. Maybe.
Once again, despite having complained about this last month, I failed to copy over the requisite stuff to enable me to graph the details. One of the things I asked ChatGPT to do was to to tidy up my various bits of code, which it helped me to do, but I have not mirrored that here.
Previous years are still on an archive page.
Nine posts, some still too geeky. Fascinated by how I could very easily move all longer-form writing to MB and be done with the various frictions involved in this site, but something keeps me hammering away. Next thing will be to upgrade to Grav 2.0 and then resume building my own webmentions solution, and it is in good measure the satisfaction that those sorts of things bring that keep me doing it.
Just what has become the major niggle of the travelling season, that I am forever forgetting to make my portable machines functional mirrors. That includes the Birdnet-Pi, but I have hatched a cunning plan for that, which wiser people suggest “should work”. Ha!
Here we are, halfway through the year, and everything it better than it has been in a long while.

Comments
I very much regret that Russian spammers have made my comment system unusable. If you want to email me a comment, it is easy enough to find the address and I will be happy to do the needful behind the scenes. Webmentions remain available (for now).
