We came across these lovely little characters while walking in the woods this morning… However, Coco dog decided they were wrong and should not be there! 😂🤷‍♂️

The image from the outside of the box that my new saw arrived in feels rather like a set of #StarWars #DesthStar plans.

Post something random, or you'll have an awful December.

Coco: "I found it in the woods. Why can't I take it home and put it in the toy box? I'm allowed to do that when I find a ball..."

Oli: "No. Leave."

This is an interesting deep investigative journalist look at, primarily #OpenAI. There’s more broad coverage of the other main players as well. It’s got its own biases but does a good job of bringing some critical insight. Worth a listen or read.

When the #compost hits 73 deg c in 18 hours of adding fresh shreddings you know the system is working! Time to give it a stir, mix it all up and get the microbes to a fresh bit. How’s your #composting going?

It was #foraging time in the #forest this morning. We’re now well stocked with roasted #chestnuts , prepped and frozen ready for Christmas eating. There’s plenty to be had this year if you’re inclined to go gathering.

Gorge #walking in southern #Spain today, I came across this chap keeping an eye on a little rocky shrine. I had to double take his #scarecrow nature as I walked towards him!

I’m ingesting this currently. It’s well structured and accessible, illuminating the artificial through the evolution of the biological.

Wow! I just had #Claude refuse to carry out /exit in #ClaudeCode! I restart sessions when conversations start to compact to clear the context window, to prevent hallucinations. This session Claude decided that its code securing task should not be interrupted! Your thoughts?...

#TourOfBritain cycle race 2025 coming through #Monmouth (Stage 5). I slowed the video of the lead group to 1/4, as they were so fast! What a great vibe!

A very pertinent reminder of the of the fiction of finger pointing “The Other”. Thanks @boogoid.bsky.social

While #AI alignment with #humans remains questionable, the #canine approach has it nailed!

I’d been using #ClaudeSonet in #Cursor for a while but after reading a few #TLDR articles decided to #ClaudeCode a go. I feel like #Claude #Code is a smoother process. I’m getting less loops of #AI #model inability to comprehend or address a problem. What’s your experience?

Lunchtime pickings from the garden… As we’ve dug more of our home #compost in, the harvest is getting better and better!

As I took Coco dog across to the garden for her early morning wee, the free roaming sheep were in the road eating the ivy from the neighbour’s wall. Coco was eyed with weary suspicion but she contained her peaked interest and the bah, bleat, munch continued…

Coco has been a very happy #beach dweller #dog, over the weekend. #Sun, surf, #sand and off course ball to chase into the sea!

The #Forest was beautifully lush this #morning. #Birdsong echoed through the canopy as we wound our way through the #pathways.

I thoroughly enjoyed running the local Trail Half Marathon with some mates this morning. A great vibe and a really well organised event. Feeling good 😊

Morning #woodswalk in the glowing #sunlight. #Spring is warming. As I became aware of this group of #deer they became aware of me. I slowed to gentle steps and they watched me as I watched them. The Sock Eater was with me, watching and being watched too.
