“Hey, ChatGPT…
Write me a story about a builder called ‘Beaver’ who goes on a quest. He should be aided or hindered (you decide) by a series of friends or villains: a scientist called ‘Rocket’; a wizard called ‘Varnish’; and a dragon called ‘Cloudflare’.
The quest is to discover the contents of the mysterious cache, and deliver it to Prince DOM.
The quest is ultimately successful but only accomplished by the solving of numerous, complex and inter-related puzzles”
Finally getting my Tweet archive up on my own (#WordPress) website thanks to @shawnhooper's excellent importer.

Don't use it yet though – wait for my PR with media improvements to be accepted! 🙏 😉
(No hurry, Shawn… it's a substantial change.)
I'm sorry… what?
Twitter's export doesn't include alt-text for images?
🙄
Totally theoretical but…
I heard about this story of ovarian cancer showing up in purchasing patterns in retail loyalty programmes.
And I wondered if… IF you could train something like GPT3 on medical records. Could you then input your own medical record and have it complete possible future health problems?
Is Twitter shutting down oEmbeds too? Is that part of the API?
That could be fun!!
I’m not a manager, and I don’t really aspire to be one. But this book comes so highly recommended and I want to devour it in one sitting!!
When was that “Blue Monday” officially-most-depressing-day-of-the-year? And why is it not over yet?
The news today is crap.
Yesterday was crap.
My body is old and crapping out.
Can it just be spring now please?!
Today I learned about Lake Peigneur which, due to a mathematical accident, turned into a giant whirlpool one day and went from being a 3m-deep freshwater lake to a 60m-deep salt-water one!
Oops!!
I swear I am making the slowest progress of any player ever on No Mans Sky, but I’m enjoying just pootling around.
Today alone I:
– Discovered it’s easy and safe to just shoot Sentinels
– Found that swimming is fun
– Made my Cadmium Hyperdrive (!!)
Question though: is there any point at all to exploring half-buried ancient buildings?
Doing a big sync of bookmarks to my personal site. There’s some cool stuff in there.
This Rubik’s Cube explorer is great!
I've been looking for a way to get a reading list that works between browsers and machines and platforms, and that ties in nicely with an existing tool.
I don't want to have to push to Pocket or something.
I don't want to use something that syncs with iCloud.
Today I discovered that Raindrop.io does a GREAT job of this, and the apps even have a nice built-in reader UI! And it's super simple to then convert reading list items to bookmarks! Yay!!
My daughter wanted a sloth cake for her birthday.
I wondered if this was because she was seven, and that she maybe also wanted an envy cake and a pride cake etc… and a gluttony cake!!
But no…
I’ve had a bit of a break from “making”. Have been reading and playing. But there is creating to be done again.
Sadly, I think the first job is making the Turbo Admin compatible with Manifest v3.
This is annoying busy-work.
I may have to fire up No Mans Sky again instead!
I’m back on the “Learning React.js” train.
Learning basic components and composing.
And I can’t help thinking:
We’ve really not come that far since Dreamweaver, have we?
Well. I joined Twitter 15 years ago today. It was a good run. But I’m barely there now.
Not only is Mastodon the social media I want in terms of function (chronological timeline, no ads, etc). But the clean slate has meant I’m scrolling less and am enjoying other things more. Reading actual books, games, etc.
I’m sad. But I’m also very happy.
Flippin No Mans Sky keeping me up again. I’m no real gamer. But this thing is a delight to just explore and build and work through the missions. Feels almost mindful. I could just fly across weird scenery all day.
These monthly wellbeing calendars from Action for Happiness look great:
https://actionforhappiness.org/calendar-monthly/2023-01
They also have an app (somewhat high barrier to entry with the signup but…)
I'm loving the SUPER short-form design tips from Adam Silver:
(Also a glimpse into what the UK Government Services web looks like!)
He has a newsletter: https://adamsilver.io/signup/
@anthonyvh Hey Anthony! Where in Devon are you? Do you know @simonblackbourn ?
