It'll be retro computers, cats and swearing, but not necessarily in that order. And not enough of any of them for it to be much use.

Last night I dreamt that, much like when Hancock went missing and Seagoon took over on Hancock's Half Hour for a bit, Peter Falk got fed up with being Columbo for a while in the 70s so William Shatner took over the part for a few episodes and it was awesome.

Just started up @plex.tv & I've got the new version & it's utterly unbearable and deliberately broken. All customisation has gone. I've got ghost libraries I can't access but can't remove from my profile + it shits all its own online services bullshit onto the screen.
This weekend: install Jellyfin.

Having spent a number of hours asking Copilot to extract data marked "value=" from a 134 line XML file yesterday & it not being able to do it, I can assure you that 1. Writing the VBA to do it myself was faster & more satisfying and 2. OpenAI's latest rogue AI PR bullshit is just that: Bullshit.

To help me test two-player #BBCMicro Elite, I’ve added “AI Pilot” as an option
It uses the game’s 1984 tactics routines to fly player 2 (bottom view)
It’s really interesting to watch Elite’s original “AI” from inside the other ship’s cockpit - in this case, an NPC Python

Sitting outside in the evening blue and it's billywitch city here in Ipswich. Half a dozen flying around and a big boy sitting in the grape vines that the cat is trying to intimidate (unsuccessfully).
