Anyway, I wrote a thing about why I think AI assistants are a doomed class of device. Ping this back to me in 5 years when everyone has abandoned phones and has a little gizmo with an annoying personality stapled to their shoulder. http://www.suppertime.co.uk/blogmywiki/2024/05/the-terminal-problem-with-ai-assistants/

Reading something about AI program generators in education that reminded me of something I started and never finished imagining what a Python editor made in 1973 might have looked like.

Ted Nelson's Computer Lib / Dream Machines is 50 years old. I wrote a thing:

Computers don't actually think. You just think they think. (We think).

Noodling with the cover of Computer Lib by Ted Nelson (1974)... and I think Ted Nelson may have missed out on a lot of merch opportunities here. Posters, T-shirts, mugs...

Garlic powder with BBE of 2016 has turned into a solid brown block that smells strongly of garlic.

Is it safe to eat?

Will it still ward off vampires?

One day all Christmas cards will look like this.
(I tried playing it in my old 2001 iBook and it wasn't having it.)
(Triple format, though. Toast CD-ROM mastering skills, hey? Much call for that now?)

A triple format CD ROM.

Also found me a new laptop in the loft. AFAIK this was faulty, so a bit of a bore knowing what to do with it personal-data-wise. If faulty does it have any value or is it just e-Waste?

Been up in the back loft that's almost inaccessible. Boxes of 1970s/80s Mad Magazines in binders, hundreds of cassettes of Peel Sessions, Festive 50s, pirate radio etc.

Mad Magazines in red binders.
Lots of audio cassettes with hand-written spines.

Dreamt I was on a pub crawl. Complained about the crap pubs we were visiting. Next stop was an eye-wateringly expensive micropub where it was my round.
