Holy crap! I just remembered I have not updated this since last month… You would not believe I spend all my time in front of a computer. Apologies to my regular readers! Even the little blue ones!.

I am so busy with only your readership as life preserver, being distracted by the shiny, just generally being a nuisance to society in general, my day is full to overflowing from sun-up to sun down and beyond. I am so exhausted. can’t they see I am blogging.

I swear on the bones of my ancestors I will blog about it when I find my way home. Honestly! I really, truly promise!.

Stop

I did not write that but neither did some earth guzzling LLM. It’s all funny how that happened. I was looking for an image to use….

And the LAST thing I do is reach for a GenAI tool. I needing something to go with “Testing 1-2-3” so I searched my own flickr images (All CC) for “Testing”. Since my blogging has been a bet plugged here I thought it would be fun to see what the heck I had posted in 2008:

Obviously it was a web site, and as typical, the URL it is listed at– http://www.aussiebloggers.com.au/blogpost.html — leads to the Dreaded Room 404. Do I stop there?

Nah, it is a short trip to find the old site still preserved in the Internet Archive. I figured I would flip through the menus, and be happy with a screen shot.

I figured the button would be a dead link to a dead script, but woah, it’s all Javascript, so the old sucker still works! I got my text.

So easy to generate gibberish without the overhead of earth munching LLMs. And look, I got a blog post!

And this it was worthy to use the Bing Image Generator to make something of that text as my general rule us using GenAI mostly to make fun of GenAI. Oh is it every beautiful in its horrendousness.

    Good Gravy! I just discovered I have not updated this since you last visited… You would not believe the fairy dust I have to clean up. Please don’t abandon me!.

    I am flat out like a lizard drinking with only your readership as life preserver, watching the grass grow, just generally being asleep, dreaming and chancing to my friends, my day is a magical flight from now to never. I am happy with that. as well you should know.

    I absolutely, positively promise to send a missive out on the wire, post-haste. Peace! What do you mean you don’t believe me?.
