Da vecchio hardware a "Neural Network" casalinga: il mio esperimento AI.

Ho trasformato 3 vecchi PC in un sistema di agenti AI distribuiti. Si può costruire un'architettura decentralizzata senza essere programmatori.

Saw this in mid-town Toronto. Somebody got creative in their driveway to make a hanging garden.

Much better than just a barren driveway.

What should this type of structure be called?

My OLD MAN’s CV – Uitkyk BAs the place where I am is up for sale…Gypsy on the Move?

As explained in the link above, I will post, a series of what would be my OLD MAN’s CV.

The Bottle Cottage

Thought we could take a look at the PALLETS part of this building today.

When collection bottles in Nelspruit I saw at the Glass place, they had pallets for free. Then big bins of glass off cuts.  I can use this!

 Long ago I met a chap that made Damp Proofing with Polystyrene, as you may well know that stuff is terrible for the ecology, just does NOT break down and go away. Recycling for something to become yet another piece of junk to be tossed in a landfill is…. Moronic. By dissolving Polystyrene into a chemical called Xylene until is get you get a thick liquid, that you then “paint” onto your problem wall. The , I called it Polyxylene here, is basically liquid plastic, when applied it soaks into the wall and sets in a very thin plastic … sheet? Inside the wall. Ok. I would need that but thought about what I had on hand. Pallets, glass and Polyxylene.

Now if I dissolved enough Polystyrene I could make a thick glue. Then use the big off cuts to put in the gaps of the pallets. Used silicone to attach the glass, coated that with thick Polyxylene, cruche different coloured glass into small pieces and glued them on. The thick Polyxylene takes a long time to dry, two days even in the hot Bushveld. But. Had other ideas for the Pallet Panels.

In the shed at VeloGecko was a lot of Roof Waterproofing cans of paint and those strips of clothe one puts down then paints over. This would protect the rather poor wood pallets are made of. As you see by the photos I did a few variations of these ideas, and the end result…….

Any donations to keep the wolf at bay till I find work will be appreciated GREATLY!

Despite being sick because of flu, Naeema took pictures of Elias and Saji playing with spinning top 😊

They made it themselves when they went to summer camp for children.

It's fortunate there was this summer camp so they can enjoy time at simply being children playing and learning how to make toys.

Video in next post ❤️

Make flattering portraits in the most unforgiving light

Many non-photographers have the mistaken impression that high noon is a good time to go out and take pictures of people and things.

Most likely, they’re also the same type of people who think Velveeta is real cheese.

But photographers know that the noonday sun is the worst possible light. It’s an extraordinarily hard light that casts horrible shadows, and people wind up squinting.

In the ideal world, you steer these people to either earlier or later, preferably during the “Golden Hour” when the sun is low in the horizon and the light is better.

But sometimes, circumstances will force you into shooting someone outside in the worst possible circumstances. So, what can you do?

Gavin Hoey, one of YouTube’s great photography educators has some tips.

While Hoey made this video for OM Systems (formerly Olympus), some of the tips work with other camera systems.

Among the camera-brand-neutral suggestions are to move the person into the shade of a tree, which can present some problems if you’re not paying attention to how the light is coming through the tree, putting them in a shaded area or use something to diffuse the sunlight.

I’ve used the tree technique before once on the job with satisfactory results.

In this photo, I had to get an environmental portrait of someone for a profile piece, and this person worked in transportation for a food-bank network. The problem was, the only time we could meet was around noon, and to get a shot of him with one of the trucks involved going outside.

I had brought an umbrella with me anticipating an indoor shot, but when we were outside, I pulled off the reflector, turning it into a shoot-through umbrella, which I positioned to soften the harsh sunlight.

It worked well enough that the photo was included in an exclusive, subscriber-only section of the publication highlighting professionals in the community.

Another option is to build a scrim, which is basically a large diffuser. One of the easiest I saw was using PVC pipe as a frame for a fitted crib sheet.

If you want to see something larger, here’s a video by Droi Media on how to build one.
