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.

Been recording with some friends and going through a couple of method books as planned. It's never as much as I had hoped, but actually doing these things is a win. Also exploring a bit with MongoDB. I've never had a reason to check out the NoSQL world, but I've been curious.

The Habit album recorded last summer can be listened to through Apple Music.
