Beginning to notice "glitches" in the responses from the AI chatbots I've been playing with. Hallucinations, outdated and in some cases just plain wrong data seems to be more prevalent in my interactions.
Been away a few weeks with the family taking a break from the chaos. Will try and continue jamming at Jazz@248 in the fall. It's been fun and a great way to meet other players.
Programming life has been fun. I've been head-down on a development project for the last little bit. Nice to get a chance to just sit and work on a Java application again.
After the big band season ended I was asked to be a house drummer for a new jazz club that opened downtown. Keeps me playing over the summer months and I've met a bunch of cool, talent players.
I had a show cancelled last month, because of bad weather. That's never happened to me before. Also, I can now be reached if needed.
I've been exploring generative AI via Quarkus and LangChain4J. Pretty impressive combination that makes building with AI models pretty straight forward.
Added pagination to this journal section. Kind of surprised I got to the point where I needed it.
No post in December. The holidays were just that busy.
Needing to revisit some old tech I haven't touched in a while. Just booked a restaurant gig with the OPJB on Valentine's day. I enjoy those gigs.
This year's pantomime went well. I have gigs booked up until early May with Main & Abbott and AKA, plus a couple of gigs early in the new year with my friends in The Whiskey Ghost.
Exploring KDE. I've come full circle as one of the badges of honour when I first started using Unix, a quarter of a century ago, was being able to build KDE and show off a fancy new non-CDE/OLVWM looking screen. No need to build from scratch these days thankfully.
A week away from production week for this year's Lakeside Players Pantomime, Snow White. It's a family affair for us so the household is pretty busy at this point in the year. The big band is still going strong, and AKA had a gig a week ago. So ya, much music has been played.
