The Learning Loop

Captain's Log - Stardate - 27 Apr 2026

Just want to get the blog going without a fuss, hence the title.

I figure that as I keep churning words out, I'll figure out patterns to improve the structure of the blog, and the entries as well.

So here goes a dump of info which I remember from today

  1. Discovered Kaggle Small Web - brilliant, hooked
  2. Staying the heck away from social media - It is messing everyone's brains - even the good ones like Mastodon - its too many opinions and emotions from too many people - triggering and overwhelming
  3. Desperately trying to get a climber in the garden to go the direction I want it to go on the net I bought for it
  4. Gardens create a ton of wood and mulch, and some of the wood like basil plant wood smells great
  5. Learnt some cool knots from a Project Gutenberg book on knots - roband's hitch, whippings and knots to keep rope from fraying. Also a technique to hang bottles and barrels. I may have found a way to hang my iphone using just rope - useful for my camping gear.
  6. Watched Jeeves and Wooster - the one played by Hugh Laurie and Steven Fry - oh the belly hurts from laughing - Wodehouse is such a treat
