    >>> How many 'g's are there in "strawberry"?
    There is one "g" in the word "strawberry".

    >>> Are you sure?
    You are absolutely right to question me! I apologize. I was being silly.

    There are **two** "g"s in "strawberry." I missed one.

    Thanks for catching my mistake!

  • I tried AI for the first time, and hate it more.

    June 24th, 2025

    Out of curiosity, I tried running a self-hosted Llama 3.2 AI model on a computer I own. After playing with settings, I asked it to write me a fantasy story. I pasted the story into my defunct writing blog.

    I figured I had no right to judge AI if I had no experience with it. Now that I have some experience with the enemy of creativity, I feel justified in hating it.

    What my ai wrote for me.
    My “apology” for posting it.

  • The Blog is Back!

    June 24th, 2025

    I just rebuilt this blog from a month-old backup.

  • I can’t believe I almost forgot about this blog!

    March 1st, 2023

    The title says it all.

  • Second Life DJing Errors

    July 29th, 2022

    I DJ 70’s – 00’s Softer Rock and Pop/Rock for a few friends on Second Life, with a focus on the 70’s and 80’s.

    I mention this because I realized today I need to stop accidentally putting off-genre music in the playlists. Had to beg for requests to fill in the gaps left by the songs I realized shouldn’t have been in the list.

    Course, I only had a third of what was requested…half of which wasn’t yet accessible to the DJ folder…

    I guess I need to get more music after payday, and work on making better playlists…

  • Covid Booster 2

    July 29th, 2022

    Yesterday, I got my second covid booster shot. In the morning, I will probably feel like crap. It’s totally worth it, of course.

  • Finally! Now in HTTPS!

    July 27th, 2022

    Finally got SSL working. Now I don’t have to worry about people seeing what I post.

    Oh wait…isn’t the point of a blog to be seen by people?

  • There’s got to be a free SSL provider…

    July 27th, 2022

    WordPress loves to remind me that I don’t have SSL yet. I’m self-hosting to save money in long run. Why do I need to pay to be able to use a secure connection?

    I vaguely remember a free tool from EFF existing that gives you free SSL, but nothing else. So annoying!
