Today I scored my first free pizza in compensation for technical assistence. Peppe’s Pizza very wisely provides wireless, thus making them the ideal place for this kind of transaction. Do I get to call myself a geek now? Or at least the MoveableType guru of Bergen?

In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]
Thanks to everyone who came to the triple book talk of three recent books on machine vision by James Dobson, Jussi Parikka and me, and thanks for excellent questions. Several people have emailed to asked if we recorded it, and yes we did! Here you go! James and Jussi’s books […]
Finally I can share what I’ve been working on! I absolutely loved writing this book, taking the time to dig deep into histories, ideas and theories that I think really help understand how machine vision technologies like facial recognition and image generation are impacting us today. I wanted the book […]
Last night I attended the OpenAI Forum Welcome Reception at OpenAI’s new offices in San Francisco. The Forum is a recently launched initiative from OpenAI that is meant to be “a community designed to unite thoughtful contributors from a diverse array of backgrounds, skill sets, and domain expertise to enable […]
I’m thrilled to announce another publication from our European Research Council (ERC)-funded research project on Machine Vision: Gabriele de Setaand Anya Shchetvina‘s paper analysing how Chinese AI companies visually present machine vision technologies. They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive. De Seta, Gabriele, and Anya Shchetvina. “Imagining Machine […]
Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]

Jill, you have earned yourself the coveted title of “web geek”. Head over to Thinkgeek.com and get yourself a T-shirt this very moment! After having outed yourself as the local MT expert, I think you’ll find http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/388b/ especially helpful. Spring is here too, BTW. Just the thing I need today, what with several broken deadlines and two apartments in a total state of chaos…

…but what did you do? Did you install movable type for them?

Heh. I’m wearing that t-shirt right now. Put it on yesterday eve, after my daughter tried to eat the shoulder off of my then resident, blue, one.
I guess Peppes just served as a “PayPal” substitute; being the one to do the transaction between ‘client’ and ‘geek’.

I trouble-shooted and fixed a not-quite-functional installation of MoveableType for Thomas, and I’ll be linking to his blog once he gives me the OK – I’m not sure if it’s quite official yet?
alan mccallum
Yep!
I did a bit of paid work during the work too. I moved a modem from non-functioning network to a stand-alone machine and –eventually– got the family back online for emails. My network guru, and this network’s guru too, are currently in Yemen. Fee? A nice bowl of homemade soup.
Cheers

I’d often take homemade soup over pizza actually 🙂
