Random thoughts on life
My good friend Barry Collins recently made use of Midjourney to generate GTA images of the PC Pro podcast crew. He’s since been good enough to show me how it was done, as well as creating some for myself too.
All I’ll say is, you wouldn’t want to mess with me based on the results!

I really hate Manchester Airport. Everything from how slow they process booking in but, particularly, their security. It’s a rarity I get through without some kind of issue. But, hey, I’ve only been to a handful of UK airports, so I’m sure it’s not the worst. As it turns out, it is.

If you’re considering buying yourself a personalised plate, the thought of it can be a little daunting. I’ve just done it for the first time and can confirm that it’s not as difficult as it may first seem. However, I did come across a lot of things that aren’t immediately answered.

Maybe body language interpretation does work for some people. But it’s no-where near perfect, yet so many people use it and make decisions based on it. Damn it, I’ve even been sent on a course in my distant past to learn it myself.
Indeed, during that course, I remember sitting there with my arms folded. The person running the course explain how arm folding showed aggression. Everyone looked at me. It wasn’t aggression. Unknown to me, at the time, it was an effect of my ADHD – if my arms weren’t folded, I would have been relentlessly fiddling.
