    Reading Time: 4 minutesYears ago we had bulky GPS watches that we wore only when we were hiking or doing sports. They only tracked our speed, location, and elevation. With time they were made less hideous and more socially acceptable. We could go from wearing them when doing sports, to when doing nothing. With time…

    Reading Time: 3 minutesYesterday afternoon I decided to experiment with MyAI and Eleventy because I was getting an error message. The issue is that when I refactored my Eleventy files with Gemini it removed code that broke the build process. I asked MyAI for help and it went beyond what I asked of it. Specifically,…

    Reading Time: 2 minutesA few days ago I was looking at MyAI and I was going to unsubscribe from the "Pro" account before they charged me, before realising that as an early adopter I have a year to play with MyAI for "free". When I say that I can play with it for free I…

    Reading Time: 2 minutesYesterday I asked MyAI by Swisscom, which is still in Beta, if it could help me write a JavaScript app to generate passwords and it did, with ease. It provided me with the javascript code I needed so I could cut and paste it, and then use node to run it straight…

    Reading Time: 3 minutesRecently the bottom Swisscom TV bracket tripled in price from 5 CHF per month to 15 CHF per month. This is a huge leap in cost per month. At first I spent a few minutes to see if I could abort the Swisscom TV part of the contract but I couldn’t so I adapted.…

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteToday I played with the Iphone 3g and was left indifferent. That’s because aside from having the same design as both the ipod touch and the 1st generation iphones it doesn’t offer anything innovative. What really interests me is the idea of more data.
