Fun with AI – “old broken tellies”

This was a little AI project to create a handful of hero images for our deprecated TV Sound Frequencies pages. Frankly I have mixed views about AI Images. Not least that despite my giving Stable Diffusion very specific instructions, it still managed to make lots of silly mistakes. And the actual televisions don’t bear too much close inspection either. On the other hand, it was a fun project and I am moderately pleased with the outcome, despite its shortcomings…

Most countries around the world have switched off their analogue television services. So continuing to publish the sound frequencies seems a tad pointless. On the other hand I felt we should keep them here mostly for historical reasons. So I wanted to give the pages a feeling of something that is old and abandoned.

Surely Ubuntu Linux is only for a minority of geeks & programmers?
ByGarf 2009-07-122024-12-06

Minority interest? Yes. Only used by geeks & programmers? Not necessarily… Ubuntu is a minority interest insofar as it only has a fraction of the users that M$ Windows has. Moreover, despite great improvements in recent years, some configuration issues with Ubuntu are still a pain. However I disagree that you need to be a…

These are the first words you will hear when you connect to the internet radio stream of Radio Pécs International. And I recently had the pleasure of meeting the man behind the show, Hans Randau. His station is located in a small basement room in his lovely home, which overlooks Pécs, a Mediterranean style town about 200km south of the Hungarian capital, Budapest.
