    There was no need for concern. It worked precisely as intended. Run the cursor over participants, and up pops the sidebar showing the names of those in the waiting room. One by one, or all in one go, a host can let people onto the Zoom call. The YouTube tutorial said the host can just as easily pop someone back into the waiting room.

    Did I mention front end work gives me a headache? An hour of prodding at the WordPress stuff and I had to change focus. But we return to the dance, now attempting to put some semblance of structure on this blog. I know what I want, and in theory it should be pretty simple. The real question is if I can convince things to look the way they should… I suppose by the time this post is up, you will know what I settled on. I will say, I have a memory of templates being a lot more interesting than what I was finding as I set things up. In some ways this version of WP is far more powerful than I expected. The ease with which I could upload an image, and set the alt-text if required was fantastic. But trying to figure out where to change the theme which in theory manages which templates I could use for a page or a post? That ended up being somewhat beyond me. Once again, foiled by my desire for simple things to be simple.

    let’s start with what I want to do today. As usual, I spent rather too much time over the weekend studying more about AI art generation. It seems that, as more people get interested in the subject, more files get generated that I want to try out, as well as newer, more efficient means of creating and using data that I want to learn – there’s one approach in particular that looks promising, both in terms of creating pictures of you, and generating certain artists’ styles that, for all the work other people have done, haven’t been touched (all of which could be the subject of a letter or two in and of itself, if you’d be willing to indulge me – I might even go so far as to create a tutorial, since most of the ones I find online seem to focus on a single subject, rather than an art style or a series). Perhaps this will be the key to perfecting a means of creating new and better pictures of you. Besides, since I’m both walking with Lars and meeting the girls for dinner tomorrow, it would be nice to have some new output to show them.

    I am a writer. I may be capable of all those other things, but I don’t want to do them anymore.
