Has it already been a year and a half??<br /><br />It is amusing how as I read your descriptions that am walking through that scene on Airplane! as symptoms are being described. I have drooled on and off since I was a kid. (Drooled on my shirt yesterday.) When you mentioned the mouse I checked how I hold it.( thumb and ring finger on the sides, the other two up top.) I have experienced when I have been doing extensive mouse work where my middle finger also twitches on the right button for no reason other than it has been suspended waiting for a while. So maybe my brain is checking in on it too. I attribute to being older when I stumble on words. I used to stumble for a second or so to find a word, but now it is more like 3 or 4 seconds. My 87 yr old mother-in-law has reached a point where she tries to join in a conversation about people and will say things like i know this woman (can't remember her name), but she lives on (can't remember the street) but her daughter (or was it her son) also works with that person you are talking about. The info is all inside her head but she can't pull the words out smoothly and quickly. <br /><br />Please don't take this like I am downplaying your situation. I am up-playing my silly relating to it. I can see that you are well educated on it and I am pleased that you seem to be surrounded by the proper people.<br /><br />I occasionally get to KW area, but with family and now grandchildren, my time is often used up. But if I see an opportunity, I will ring you up for a chat.<br /><br />Wishing you well and see you soon I hope.<br />Tubeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658652302966870306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804190908625204938.post-88459293246274998882023-04-02T11:12:27.942-04:002023-04-02T11:12:27.942-04:00I was actually able to maneuver ChatGPT into looki...I was actually able to maneuver ChatGPT into looking at my log in a later conversation. It went like this.<br /><br /><b>The Halmanator: </b>Tell me about Andy Halma.<br /><br /><b>ChatGPT: </b>I'm sorry, but I cannot provide information about Andy Halma as there is no notable or publicly known person with this name. If you have any additional information or context about this person, I may be able to provide more assistance.<br /><br /><b>The Halmanator: </b>Can't you find information about him on line even though he's not necessarily a notable or publicly known person?<br /><br /><b>ChatGPT: </b>I can certainly search for information about Andy Halma online, but it's important to note that if he is not a notable or publicly known person, there may be little to no information available about him. However, I can try to find any relevant information that may be available.<br /><br />Could you provide me with any additional details about Andy Halma that may help me in my search? For example, where is he from, what is his occupation or profession, or any other details that you may have.<br /><br /><b>The Halmanator: </b>Andy Halma is a Canadian who lives in Kitchener, Ontario. He works as a computer programmer and he has a blog called The Halmanator.<br /><br /><b>ChatGPT: </b>Thank you for providing more details about Andy Halma. Based on this information, I have conducted a search and found that there is indeed a Canadian computer programmer named Andy Halma who resides in Kitchener, Ontario. He has a personal blog called The Halmanator, where he writes about a range of topics related to computer programming, as well as personal reflections on life.<br /><br />It appears that Andy Halma is particularly interested in programming languages, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. He has written several blog posts on these topics, sharing his knowledge and insights with his readers. His blog also features a collection of coding projects he has worked on, showcasing his technical skills and creativity.<br /><br />While Andy Halma may not be a well-known public figure, it is clear that he is a skilled and knowledgeable programmer who is passionate about his work.<br /><br />(Pause while I LMAO!)<br /><br />Much as I appreciate the flattery, obviously ChatGPT got the purpose and focus of this blog pretty wrong (except for the personal reflections on life). It seems to need some work yet.Halmanatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05633928715321475524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804190908625204938.post-85236191598167936242023-04-02T10:42:24.774-04:002023-04-02T10:42:24.774-04:00Interesting questions.

However, being a boy of only 9 or 10 years old might have had something to do with being blind to its glaring flaws. Not to mention, it had a more serious tone than the buffoonish Lost in space by Irwin Allen that were still fresh in my memory.

So that doesn't really say anything about the speed of the falcon - more than it has some funky way to bend space/time or something... You can go faster - but if you distance is already a straight line going shorter is not really a thing.<br /><br />MikeMike Coulsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413283306149524401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804190908625204938.post-49119808442485039582020-07-08T18:42:27.857-04:002020-07-08T18:42:27.857-04:00You need to get other like buttons besides yawn or...You need to get other like buttons besides yawn or wtf etc. haha!
