It’s amusing. I look through Immich and Photoprism and I am struck by how many names I have forgotten, but how easily I remember certain faces. I’m also curious to see how I remember certain names after scrolling through faces yet to be identified....

On PhotoSync and Photo Uploader for Photoprism — Feb 18, 2026Photosync is a photo uploading app that allows you to upload to various devices and cloud solutions with ease.

Weather To Be trusted — Feb 17, 2026Last night at around 05:30 the alarm went off and either before or afterwards I heard lightning. I also heard very heavy rain. The question was whether the weather app was to be trusted. I could see that it would rain heavily while I walked from home to the meeting point but that for the duration of the rain it would remain dry.... -
The Limitations of AI - Dealing With Personality — Feb 16, 2026For the last two weeks I have been playing with AI heavily, to get it to help with the task of re-organising my libraries.

A Sunrise Run — Feb 9, 2026Today I woke early. I set the alarm for 05:30 and again at 05:40 and yet again at 06:00. The reason for so many alarms is that it’s easy to set the first, wake up to turn it off, and then wake too late. It’s also as a backup. Usually the first alarm is enough to wake me....
