Taking a fortnight break

 

Sunrise over Palo Alto, CA * Nov 27, 2024

It's time for a little Rest & Relaxation for those of us laboring on the SearchResearch Rancho.  

I'm taking the next two weeks off to go on one of those trips that you've been planning for a long time... one that is finally becoming a reality.  I'll share some details after I get back, but in the meantime, SRS will be quiet until mid-December when we'll pick up the Challenges one more time.  

Hope you all have a restful and relaxing couple of weeks while I'm wandering around the planet, looking for ever more exciting SearchResearch Challenges.  For US folks:  Happy Thanksgiving!  

Best wishes for a peaceful first few weeks of December.  See you back here around December 18.  

As always, Keep Searching... it's a big and curious world out there. 

-- Dan 



P.S.  Below:  The way I imagine the SearchResearch Rancho, heavily influenced by the old Californio Ranchos... Thanks to Gemini for this vision of the [SearchResearch Californio Rancho in plein air style].  I assume there's WiFi here...

    did you add an "a" to the 'Dan' moniker?
    hope the sojourn/adventure is restorative
    vistas seem to be a rancho requirement.

    could be 20+ days -
    "A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (two weeks). The word derives from the Old English term fēowertīene niht, meaning "fourteen nights" (or "fourteen days", since the Anglo-Saxons counted by nights)."

    Thank you for letting us know about your break. It's important to take time for yourself to recharge and come back with even more creative energy. I want to express my gratitude for all the challenges you've provided over the years. They've helped me learn and grow so much. I look forward to your return and whatever new content you have in store for us.

    thought I would give Gemini a go with the 'rancho'
    theme - the Imagen 3 results were a bit different…
    but I like the poppies.
    WiFi seems available in the last one - was looking for Star Link -
    the surveillance drones seem ubiquitous - can't explain the headless cow or dirt scuba diver - mysteries of AI/poor prompts
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
