In the library

August 20, 2024

My home screen from the last post? It still looks just like that, and I still enjoy it.

I spend too much time in the app library, and too much time on the phone in general, but I have also been on holiday for most of the time since the last post so I try not to read too much into that.

And hey, the Kodsnack episode with Bebop's creator Jack Cheng is finally out! As someone who generally tends negative to everything involving LLMs, it is great to hear about someone making heavy use of them to create things, and feel that they actually would not have got the thing started at all without these tools. More and better perspectives make Jack a less dull boy.

I am also very happy with how the cover image for the episode came out. All human-drawn, as usual, in Procreate, as usual, and one of those times where the feeling of the final image actually came pretty close to what I had in mind as I was drawing it. One of the positive sides of LLMs is that they make me appreciate plain old human-created things that much more, including my own drawings.

So, summer holidays are over, work and school has started. There is a degree of settling back into regular routines, and a refreshing coolness in the air. I would very much enjoy a long autumn where it feels like things are rolling along slowly and calmly.

Then I will blink, and it will be December. Again.

But for now, it is still the end of August, and time to slip over into work mode.
