Right. Time to stop 1. scrolling through old photos, 2. booping animals and 3. making numbered lists, which seems to have been my thing this evening. 'night!

It came to my attention yesterday that #photoJanuary2024 is going on & I totally missed it in the chaos of the new year. So I'm joining in for day 8 which has a theme of "Shot in 2022".

I picked this one because

1. I really like the dragonfly, and

2. it still makes me laugh that I thought it had some weird & wonderful stripy proboscis but what I was actually looking at was a wasp's bum as wasp was devoured.

Dragonflies are proper wee beasties.

So had an interesting Sunday evening shopping for food. Found this on one of the POS machines in a local supermarket.

@SwiftOnSecurity this explains the origins of the name “splunk collector”

Today at Kimmeridge Museum I saw the greatest prehistoric model ever. Blood, gore and massive teeth!

I forgot I had a better photo of the fog/steam.

Went for a walk this morning & my reverie was interrupted by the rhythmic whoooomp - whooooomp of a swan flying by. I paused to watch, turning to track its flight & shading my eyes from the low winter sun.

So aye. Apparently I salute swans now.

Didn't get a photo of the swan, so have this artist's impression with the more obliging robin in my garden.

Who did it better?

I’ll be chatting with Nikki Bedi tomorrow on BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live show at 9am about #mythicalcreatures, and probably bees, goats and the Wimblestone too.

Okay I'm sorry, I still can't get over this fucking voice-controlled IoT smart bidet thing.

Rarely do you get to see the roots of post boxes like these ones waiting to be re-potted.

Slightly annoyed I didn't do a hashtag for the Friday Dancers. I didn't realise I would commit so thoroughly to my ill-thought-out aim to "add a dancer every Friday until I run out of space".

If I add one now everyone who has faved or boosted an old one gets notified, which is a bit much for a vanity hashtag, so I'll just point out that I have nicely tagged them on my website.

It's a proper old school website too. No adverts. No pop-ups. No cookies.

See all 31 here...

Welcome to the future, goats and monkeys.

I can see why people like ChatGPT. I asked it “What would happen if I stuck my dick in the Large Hadron Collider?” and it gave me a very detailed and plausible sounding answer, whereas CERN didn’t even reply to my email.

The worst thing I've ever seen is a dude who was using an LLM to turn a short prompt into a longer email, and then another dude using an LLM to generate a short summary of that longer email so he didn't have to read it all.

My dudes

You have invented the world's first anti-compression algorithm, which sends a short statement by means of turning it into a larger statement for transmission.

@SwiftOnSecurity it's not even a matter of trying and failing... never underestimate the Advanced Persistent Teenager with free time and access to any of your SharePoint, Confluence, Wikis or any other docs for your internal infra for planning surgical strikes

See LAPSUS$ for very real examples of this in action

@Enigma @SwiftOnSecurity LOL @ “Advanced Persistent Teeenager”
