I don't normally blog about upcoming conference talks, but I'm really excited to announce my first talk on generative AI, specifically Google's Gemini will be in a few weeks at the F/ND Tech Conference. This is a free, online conference covering a wide range of topics. My talk, "Adding Generative AI to your Workflow with Google Gemini", will absolutely be appropriate for beginners (as that's what I am) and hopefully provide a gentle introduction to working with Gen AI. Now, one point of warning - this is a Europe-based event so my talk will be... 5:45 AM on a Saturday morning, but admit it, wouldn't you love to wake up early on a Saturday to hear me talk about AI?

Forgive the samewhat lame title, and this will be a quick little post, but I've recently been using such an incredibly helpful npm module I wanted to share it with others. open by Sindre Sorhus (you must click that link and look at their incredible GitHub profile) is a simple, but powerful utility that... opens things.

It's been on my queue to investigate how to use Generative AI in a 'chat' interface versus "one prompt and answer" mode for some time and today I finally got a chance to check it out. I'll share my thoughts below, but once again I want to thank Allen Firstenberg for his help while I worked through some issues. As always, take what I'm sharing as the opinion of a developer still very new to this space. Any mistakes are my fault!

Good afternoon, readers, I hope you are having as good a day as I am. Today I started playing "Midnight Suns" (PS5) and so far, it's a heck of a lot of fun. Yesterday was one of those days that was so good, I almost got a bit paranoid that something bad was going to happen. (It didn't - the day ended great.) I hope it's a sign of how good the week will be. As a quick aside, there will be no <Code><Br> this week - it will return next week. See you then!

For the past few months or so, I've started tracking my movie watching with Letterboxd. I'm not doing a lot of reviews, mostly just logging, but I find it neat to look back and remind myself of what I've watched recently. You can see my profile if you're curious, or check out my "Now" page as well. I thought it might be interesting to see if I could use my Letterboxd data along with Google Gemini as a way to suggest the next movie I should watch. I was able to build a quick workflow using the incredible Pipedream in a few minutes. Let me share with you how I did that.

Forgive the somewhat alliterative title there, but today's post covers something that's been on my mind since I started playing with Google Gemini, specifically, how to get the results of your API calls in JSON. To be clear, the REST API returns a result in JSON, but I'm talking about the content of the result itself. Before I continue, a quick shot out to Allen Firstenberg who has been helping me off and on with Google Gemini stuff. Anything I get wrong though is entirely my fault. 😜

Good day my fabulous readers and I hope all is well with you. I just got back from speaking at the excellent Devnexus event and despite some travel issues (thank you storms, really), I had a great time. I got to see not one, not two, but three very old friends of mine and attended some good sessions as well. I'm home for a week and then on the road again to the Adobe ColdFusion Summit in the DC area. Don't forget, this Tuesday I've got another episode of <Code><Br> coming up. I'll be building, or attempting to, build a PWA live. Surely it will go perfectly, right?
