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?

Having your own words processed and restated can help you improve your thinking and your writing. That’s one reason why talking with someone about your ideas can help you clarify your thoughts. ChatGPT is certainly no replacement for a knowledgable friend or colleague, […]
Like the rest of the internet, I’ve been playing with ChatGPT, the new AI chatbot released by OpenAI, and I’ve been fascinated by how much it does well and how it still gets a lot wrong. ChatGPT is a foundation model, that […]
A few weeks ago Meta released Galactica, a language model that generates scientific papers based on a prompt you type in. They put it online and invited people to try it out, but had to remove it after just three days after […]

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 🙂
