New product! dave3 is not another task list or Gantt chart. It's an intelligent assistant that analyses your personal capacity across every project, tells you exactly what to work on next, and coaches you before deadlines become disasters. Accidentally dave3 also says dB ...

Still plodding along with Cleartext Systems doing the IT security stuff but have revamped Cleartext to focus on Ai led software development. This is quite odd as when we started in 1999 Cleartext Ltd was the security led brand which we then later added the 'Systems' business brand to. Somehow I've flipped that... https://cleartext.com
Piano and strings, female voice version of Landing where the Gulls Scream.
I've dabbled in music creation apps over the years, and have written posts here and on Facebook about the state of the world but never combined the two. Here's Ai helping be put words to music on the compassionate side of the global 'boat people' issue we are dealing with, or not;
Here is 'They came across Easter morning' a massive rework of Easter Aliens my instrumental from 2005; reworked for current times.
- Landing where the gulls all scream. - We were holding Sunday papers. - They were holding bigger dreams.
Created using Suno Ai from my prompts with heavily edited and extended lyrics.
Finally got another TR7. This one a fairly standard 2ltr car, 28k miles with quite a lot of recent parts replaced after 12 years mostly in storage. New hood, tyres, brake calipers, hoses, bump stops, fuel lines etc.
Many people overcomplicate time. In my mind it's simple to explain. Time is a constant neither past nor future, it's just a way to describe now and what's just happened and what is going to happen. There may well be fluctuations caused locally by gravity, or some other theoretical effect, but the universal constant moves everything forward irrespective, at the same 'speed'.
Shot 16:9 portrait but cropped for here so some of the depth is lost… Cafe in St Albans today.
London Gliding Club (Dunstable Downs Airfield) today.
About 20 years ago had a bash at Apples new Garage Band music app. Easter Aliens is the story of an alien arrival at Easter, an ensuing conversation then a peaceful retreat. Somehow thinking about comet 3i/Atlas, the conversations around it being an alien spaceship and migrants by small boat today, I was reminded at this my one and only attempt at creating something like my music heroes like Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk and Pink Floyd. I never did create a graphic for it.
A few months of photographs encapsulating life over the summer.
My favourite photos from Aston Hill Climb 100 Celebration on Saturday 17th.
A Lovely day in Cheltenham last weekend.
The old Zenit-E mum and dad bought me in my teens on the left. The lens, a Helios 44-2, is now a 'cult' manual focus lens! Compared to my current main camera a Fujifilm with a similar 50mm equivalent removable lens.
Fun today, first time, recently, I have printed any of my photos on photo paper and framed them. Also took delivery of the VILTROX 28mm AF 'pancake' lens, finally the X-M1 is pocketable with a decent lens on it. Love the sliding lens cover instead of lens cap.
Further top my post about an extra £220+ a year going to Thames Water I can show you this. Check your bills, are you seeing the same.
We are not on a meter, there has only ever been the two of us here, our usage habits haven't changed yet we are now paying DOUBLE what we were 5 years ago.
Using the Bank of Englands inflation calculator we should be paying £392.68, but we're paying £239.29 more than that.
Either Thames Water were undercharging us in 2021-2022 or they are over charging us now, which is it, incompetence or a monopoly driving excessive profit?
The shareholders in a private business are there to both take a dividend (profit) when times are good but also to put investment back IN when they are bad. Too many are just taking and I can't see any good in the condition of the countries water supply and waste over the last five years.
Jake your love for the songs of my youth has me in tears, memories pouring out of my eyes, music for my old ears.
Following eighteen months immersing myself in digital photography with decent cameras, not that my iPhone was a bad photographic device, I've reached a point where I feel the need for a gallery.
This isn't so much for you rather than for me, although you are welcome to browse. Now I can constantly review, add and remove my work as I progress on the journey of discovering what I like to and what I'm good at photographing.
