ChatGPT

Well, loads of people have been biting their nails about ChatGPT. Yuh know anything that is new and apparently intelligent is to be feared. Like “OMG!! OMG!! AI is taking over the world, let’s have a panic attack!” The sort of responses are similar to when aeroplanes were made toRead More

Neat trick with Camtasia and Snagit

In the pandemic period documents would regularly have been shared in a group on a big screen and somebody would be typing.Read More

Situation at a hotel

Well, I often post up situations I encounter as a sort of diary which then forms evidence for my patterns of thinking. Scenario This one was at a hotel A. There was some confusion on a Sunday night when I needed to check in. I had 5 nights which IRead More

A simple thing

Well, as usual people don’t know what they don’t know and won’t take the time to explore – so they need to be told.  On this occasion I’m sharing this simple timer thing that lives on Windows 10. Obviously, I can’t say nor do I have time to check ifRead More
