On the other hand, it's hard to get Claude.ai to really apply itself to my own software. It likes to drive. Same with ChatGPT.
This week I have brought you another tiara from René Lalique, this one featuring a beautiful bronze siren holding a treasure above her head!
What if friends treated their friends as nicely as they treat dogs. When you sensed they needed a little support, you'd look them in the eye and say "Who's the good girl?" Rub behind the ears. When they sit give them a treat. Inside of us, everyone, including you, is a little pup who just wants to know they're in the right place doing the right thing.
We're having a problem with one of the servers, spending pretty much all day trying to learn about the problem. It means a bunch of services aren't working. Will keep the blog updated, assuming that works. ;-)

I asked for a feature of the outliner from Drummer that it automatically opens a file in read-only mode if there's a URL parameter with the address of an OPML file. Like this.
"If you like pizza you might like this."Then I had to ask Claude.ai to write me a nice little outliner that runs in the browser. And it did. With a flourish. It was designed to make me the guy who designed outliners for most of a lifetime, and I have to say it was very nicely done, for a two-minute project. Even for a two-week project it's pretty nice. Then I asked it to do a priorArt outline, and it looks really good in the this.how template. The power of standards. And I had a full day of work even while Claude.ai was doing these mind bombs for me.
I asked Claude.ai to "write me a nice little spreadsheet program that runs in the browser." Here it is. It looks like a spreadsheet app but it's missing most of the really good commands, like defining the value in one cell with the sum of two other cells using point and click. If you go down this path, ask it to keep a user's guide current, and then ask it to put in features, and just describe them in standard spreadsheet terminology. The trouble starts when you want to make something that doesn't have a standard terminology yet because it's new.
Big Tech companies such as Google, Apple, and Meta offer free services in order to profit from your personal data. Shareholders are more important than users. That is why I am switching to companies and services that have a different revenue model. I will explain which services I have switched to and why.

Today marked the end of the main programme of work I was originally employed to work on in my current job. After three and a half years we have finally completed the transition to a single M365 tenant, a single IT support partner and a common Enterprise network (albeit that part is still two seperate infrastructures built to the same standard on the same Fortinet kit.)
After starting with half a dozen outsourced services we are now managing our IT service internally with the support of a primary IT partner, a field services partner and a managed security partner.
Now starts the next phase of our journey to build on this base layer and start to leverage what we have to get us through Cyber Essentials+ certification.

***it’s snake oil. Under the barbaric, for-profit system that Americans call “healthcare”, the implication that a person’s thoughts could be the only medicine they need is wildly irresponsible. Like other sufferers, I needed treatment, not vibes.

Very happy to welcome my old friend, John Palfrey, back to the web. I added his feed to my blogroll on scripting.com. His first new piece is about his experience at the AI Action Summit in February, in Delhi. He was executive director at Berkman when I was there in the early 00s. It feels like the old band is getting back together. ;-)

I liked social media. I love learning and showing people how things are done there. I’m a LinkedIn and Skillshare trainer and wrote a few books. I also published tons of information on various social media channels. I also like that creators get benefits from publishing information. A social media platform should reward great contributions […]
