As someone with many, many neurological conditions and also many many regular pills to take for those conditions, one of the problems I encounter regularly is not being sure whether or not I’ve actually taken my pills today. Obviously just slamming down more of them isn’t really an option, but my memory really isn’t up […]
This post is going to be a bit different than my usual fare in that some of it will be written by an AI (so much like 90% of the web these days!). In fact, I started out this morning wanting to know more about semantic search and the use of large language models to […]
Last week the ‘pick a hobby’ part of my brain returned to 3d printing. I’ve had a 3d printer for about 6 years now and every few months I’ll decide I want to use it to print…something. So I’ll fire it up, then realise that actually it would be so much better with some additional […]
A few months ago, my partner and I finally gave in to the relentless pressure from our children and added 2 kittens to our family. Say hello to Hamish and Hazel: They’re now 6 months old (and slightly bigger) and getting ready to venture into the outside world. So, of course, being the massive nerd […]
Following on my previous posts about SDAM & Aphantasia (and a visit to my GP to talk about depression) in October 2023 I started on a journey toward ADHD and ASD diagnoses. Recently I’ve started documenting this, in a youtube series I call ‘Depression Diaries’.The latest of these touches on SDAM again, earlier ones cover […]
This is a follow up post to my last one in which I try to explain some of the weird and wonderful ways my brain works. In the last post I talked mostly about SDAM and touched on Aphantasia, today I’m digging into another aspect of thought: the inner monologue or vocalisation. This is another […]
This post is a little different than my usual tech nonsense. It’s an aggregation of a few posts I’ve made on various social media about the way my brain works. Specifically SDAM and Aphantasia and their impact on my life. This all started a few years ago when I read this post by mozilla co-founder […]
I’ve had a 3d Printer for several years now, it was originally a creality CR10s which I bought way back in 2018ish. Since then I’ve upgraded (or at least changed it) in various ways. I added bracing rods to the front to add rigidity to the frame. I added closed loop driver boards to cut […]
in 2021 I built a DIY Rack in my cellar (pt1, pt2, pt3). The last update on that is from a couple of years ago now, and looking back through the site archives I realise I never posted where that Journey ended…… At the end of 2021 I moved house. I knew that I wouldn’t […]
Continuing with my habit of writing a flurry of posts before getting bored and not writing anything for a year….. welcome back! Since my last set of posts, among other things I’ve bought a house which means, obviously, I’m now spending a lot of time / effort on smart lighting and heating throughout the house […]
