Breakfast of champions. Half for me and half for Mr Hugo.

And here is the actual picture this time of my high school phone :) @cassie

I like TV but I’m getting sleepy.

Mr Hugo has a doppelgänger.

Investor pitch deck looking awesome. And in the Horne family tradition of 4 letter names :)

Mr Hugo loves to watch me work hard in the office.

Mr Hugo living his best life (on my chair).

Here's a little bit of maybe helpful maths/code for you. I need a human usable identifier system useful for entry into IOT devices like a camera in lower case to make entry easier. We all know flight reservations numbers. If you use the alphabet and numeric values, any case, you have 26+10=36 characters. This gives you a number base of 36 and so a 6 character code means you have a space of 36^6=2.1bn values or a 1/2.1bn clash risk; acceptable. Using big integer modulo math, you can take a random block hash as bits for a big int and covert it to a 6 digit code. The long integer value I call an ikey (id key), and the base 36 encoded text I call in itag (identifier tag). They can be swapped back and forth for integer indexing and string entry/readout.

I do love my 4 letter coding convention... I believe it is surprisingly clear once you see it.

I only do this for infra/systems level programming. I use business terms for business objects which are in the view, task and data domain.

Mr Puss thought he’d sit up in the fruit bowl and stare out the visiting Mr Hugo.

Mr Hugo was pleased to be back to his morning cafe routine after a long road trip with me.

What I like about “Alone” is that often times the people who leave for whatever their right reason is are just a much a winner as the final winner.
“Edge lord” is such a good way to describe the people who bully their way into social media discourse.
Goodness me! Mr Hugo has way more charm than I have. Here’s some more of my wonderful mate.

Today I cooked but forgot to take a photo. So here’s Mr Hugo instead - my constant companion and sparring partner over who gets to be boss, and most praised dog in the park as best behaved mob boss.

“Captain America, brave new world” falls flat in the real world.
Counter the canonical narrative but I look at react, dart and swift and say - why?
The first rule of flex layouts is to forget everything else.
Damn; I knew I’d like JavaScript again once I got into it.

From DSLR camera to a global localised transfer grid for performance, blockchain for provenance tracking, through a user defined RAW image process including AI steps, then delivered to the user defined media destination. In the field it’s only camera and iPhone. From shot to platform it’s 20 seconds. More to come…
I can’t believe Bill Maher, who I love, would fall for the trap that factually narrating a meeting with a sociopath would be insightful and build a bridge from chaos to normal. As his guest said, and he didn’t like; you became a prop.
After months of silent slogging; I am readying the first release. Camera via hotspot to server to platform in near real time. All photos in a cryptographic block chain for full source and process provenance/audit. Configurable per camera server side process including AI. Name coming soon.

The financial world feels like a golf cart being driven by a senile old man chasing birds.
