Evie Day 328
Hi everybody. It’s Wednesday, 7 February 2024.
I have to admit, I can’t think of anything I really want to talk about today.
One thing that I have found to be fun is generative AI. I regularly head over to https://www.bing.com/create and write a prompt or four. It has become an interesting toy, and I have brought it up on multiple occasions with my classes. They say a picture can paint a thousand words, but with this technology, a few well-chosen words can create a pretty good picture. Give it a shot if you haven’t tried it… be sure to add a few descriptors and adjectives to your prompt.
Two things – wizards will always have weird ears, even when you specify “wizard with normal human ears”. It will always create beards with mustaches, even when you specifically type “no mustache”.
I’ll be back in my virtual classroom later today, talking about securing virtual machines, containers, apps, and SQL server instances.
Lisa has asked me to smoke a couple of pork loins today. I’ll get ’em started at lunchtime for a 6-hour smoke on the Woodfire grill. Set the temperature and the time, and let it go. I probably ought to prep them before I start class.
I love my wife. She was able to share some stuff with me last night that reinforces why she is the best person to be my life partner.
I’m going to get this in the can and get going with my day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
