    Amusement: PHP Self Build Markdown Wiki

    I’ve been struggling to write the 50k novel this month, unfortunately. I love using NaNoE Refresh already and have made a decent start for my unplanned novel. It’s just safe to share I’m struggling to get my mind back on straight with challenge of cutting…

    NaNoE Refresh: Stepping Towards My Novels

    I was planning to focus on Game Development for this quarter of the year; but that fell a little flat last week. Between choosing to go sober from the start of this year, and struggling to hold it, I’ve lost a little of the plot…

    GPT-Systems: Moving Over to  AIDC-AI/Ovis2-1B  OCR

    As part of my lunch time research for the day, on LLMs, I actually saw a Reddit comment mention a small size LLM that does OCR in a speedy manner, for me to try out: AIDC-AI/Ovis2-1B. I only had a single small delay today. I…

    Local LLMs: Deepseek R1 8b in VSCode

    As an experiment for this week, this morning I decided I should get a model of Deepseek R1 running on my local dev machine. I went on a whim, went slow step-by-step through what I felt like implementing, only around 7 hours in speedy research…

    The 2-Hour Rule

    As it turned out this year, I managed to work out a few important adjustments in my day-to-day life that are already showing tremendous results. I felt like after the difficulties, I could just make this next year into a better experience for myself. It…

  • 2024s Review

    This year, after the troubles that where unexpected at the end of the last, I needed to rethink what I will be doing. As I shared in the 2023 Review, after the main detrimental incident, it’s been tough to get things back on track. With…
