Spec-Driven AI Development

You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.

Fishmeal #2

I was better prepared this time. A really strong coffee, and loads of food. Fishmeal in a cup, mix with half water/half coffee, drink, drink water, drink coffee, eat food, more coffee... I can get through this ;)

WordPress Moblogging

I came acrossJohn Blade's Homepage and found his hack for allowing the wp-mail feature to import pictures. I've been thinking about doing it myself, but good seeing John did it already. :) Besides, he's from Brisbane. :)

Great photo


Apo Enne-woman with her tattoed arms
is a great photo of an elderly women, I don't know where from. (Where in the world is Samoki? Would it kill people to say what country they're writing in? Or just what continent? :) )

Fishmeal

One and a half hour ago, I had my first cup of fishmeal mixed with water. It was such a shock I almost vomited, and I still feel it crawling up, trying to get out of my stomache. Not delicate at all. I was aware that the taste and smell was repulsive, but I can't have mixed it out allright, 'cause it felt like sand mixed with water. Ugh... oh well, at least I'm prepared for my next cup tomorrow. I'll be sure to have a good cup of coffee around, then. Now I had only chewing gum, and I assure you that there's no amount of gum to chew that can instantly make the taste and feel in your body go away. I'm taking it on the recommendation of a father of a friend of mine who's a nutrition researcher. Together with a couple of tablets, this should help protect my arms and my general wellbeing. I'm quite convinced this is a good thing, but ugh...

Dashboard

I haven't figured out what all the fuzz about Dahsboard is. I gave Konfabulator a shot once. Looks nice when you're using it, it's good for server monitoring etc. Sorry for the Konfabulator guy that Apple made a smiliar product. I hope he at least had a chance to strike a deal similar to what the guys who made Panther's filebrowser got. Anyways, Konfabulator had a problem, and Dashboard has the same. An Apple-blogger sais it right out:
Dashboard is (from a browser geek's perspective): HTML sidebar panels liberated from the browser window and placed anywhere on the screen
. Meaning, using it gives you nothing but clutter on your desktop. Big deal? Probably not, but you're not going to get good information here as you're training yourself to ignore it. Worse yet, when the Konfabulator widgets fail, they often more or less stall, making the ready-at-hand/present-at-hand discussion relevant again: it will jump up at you and annoy you when it fails. I don't care if it's failed when I'm not reading the information, and because I'll be trained to ignore it, it'll be nothing but a hassle. When I get 10.4, I'll be sure to turn it off straight away, just like I never wanted to use Konfabulator much.
