All The Dumb Things

For the last 5 years (6?) I've been working on a secret guitar pedal, for my friend and former bandmate Wayne. We did 20 years, on and off in Tassy's fab, far out and groovy 60s band, The Breed. He's had trouble finding bassists that stick since I moved to Melbourne. He likes my playing feel, I know when to not look a gift horse in the mouth, so I stuck with, apart from a break to be a better dad, then went back to it... and here I am, 14 years a Melbournite and Wayne is still one of those mates, you don't let go of.

So, today, I sat down to do some last little jobs on the secret guitar pedal (*it's not secret to Wayne, BTW, it's his idea) and realised I had drilled one of the socket holes wrong on one of the 2 boxes, this effect needs. It only needs reeming, no biggy. Can't find my reamer. I've been hammering away at my studio setup today, which involved tearing it down to make room for a table for my keys and drum machine, then putting it back together. That was a biggy. Tomorrow. It's been 5 (6?) years in the making, what's another day?

Here's a song I wrote that The Breed recorded, after I'd moved to "the Paris of the South Seas." Ladies and gentlemen, The Breed perform, "The Radio Told Me"

Performed by The Breed mark IV, Wayne Crisp, Dan Graver and Steve Bowden.

Removing Ollama From My Mac

The AI experiment in my "laboratory" is over. I've been running Ollama locally on my laptop, as in:- an 8G, local, offline language model, running on local, offline command line software. Don't get me started about the carbon pollution environmental disaster being created by serverside queries to AI like, "Does my partner really love me." The local-only model seemed like an affordable and accountable approach and my M1 Mac is energy efficient fast enough that even really tricky queries were sorted way under 2 minutes. The thing is, I never got a single, useful response to a query. Not one, that was fit for purpose, anyway, out of Ollama's "mouth." I figured that between my ability to describe a problem, and its probable solution, architecturally and simply, might result in useful code fragments for my various microcontroller coding and OpenSCAD design tasks. Not one. The work required to make anything useful was at least as much as designing i...

I'm a sucker for shiny metal. Polished aluminium, stylishly painted steel, a leather saddle, spoked wheels - just love it! So this BBC 4 "doco" ("reality tv"?), wherein Rob Penn, the global cycle tourist and media personality, had me at the first mention of a "dream bicycle." BBC 4's "Ride of My Life." (Not sure why Youtube has given Portland's "tits out" artist the thumbnail... Apart from the fact that Rob was, when this was made, clearly better paid than I was working for Australia's national broadcaster, he places just a little too much emphasis on the machine rather than what makes a great ride, great people with you and great locations. Thankfully, we meet some people in his quest for parts for his custom built bicycle, that are people I'd happily ride with, not least, Rob himself! He's a velo-obsessed tragic to make me look "normal." It's not a new show, it's from Boris Johnson's er...

ALWAYS read the PDS

I'm quite open about my health in public. I'm also a bit of a "helicopter pilot*" when it comes to my cycling, too. So, when I saw my cadiologist last week for an annual followup since my poofer went futt back in 2020, a new doc every year (I'm public, not private), I made sure Doc knew the back story, the front story, the story behind the story and the cover story. I told Doc that my diabetes had been formally retyped, that my "endo" had officially determined that my 2005 type 2 diagnosis was wrong, I'm a type 1. Probably late onset, but things about my childhood and youth health... you know... Maybe I'm latent Type 1, maybe I was a sort of slow burn juvee Type 1. Anyway, Doc acknowledged it, "Ah yes, late onset." I told Doc I've used a bicycle for transport all my life, was a big advocate for cycling for environmental, urban and personal health and that was acknowledged with an enthusiastic, "Very good." Then Doc pre...
