I recently saw an IBM presentation on how AI will help eliminate COBOL once and for all. Basically, they are trying to sell a tool that uses their WatsonX cloud service to convert COBOL to Java with the help of the current buzzword named generative AI. Let me tell you, COBOL has outlasted most of the tech that was invented since 1965 and I think it will outlast generative AI, too.

8 y/o daughter lost her hearing. Had to learn to sign. Struggled at first as none of her friends knew how to talk to her. One day I noticed our Labrador run to the treat cupboard after she signed "treat?" to her. In the absence of friends our dog had learned sign language for her

A pretty clever phishing email: I got a message warning me that my Twitter account was about to be suspended for suspicious activity, inviting me to click a button to prevent this. The URL the button went to *was* an x.com link, but it used a security vulnerability in Twitter's backend that allowed redirections to push me to an OATH server that would prompt me for my Twitter login and 2FA, and then send the attacker a valid token they could use to take over my account:

"Britain from Above was a four year project aimed at conserving 95,000 of the oldest and most valuable photographs in the Aerofilms collection, those dating from 1919 to 1953. Once conserved, the images were scanned into digital format and made available on this website for the public to see.”

Somebody posted their Starfield wedding photos on social media and I am legally required to share them.

In messing about with the V & A building photos I forgot about My Favourite Thing in Dundee.

Evening! Been out and about all day. Bit tired now, but am idly playing with some photos of an interesting building. Very enjoyable patterns.
