In my previous post about experimenting with Stable Diffusion, I left out a couple of important things.
The first, is to link to this blog post. It has some excellent info on how to set up Stable Diffusion, how to run it, and the various parameters.

Adventures in Imagineering – Stable Diffusion Parameter Variations
All of a sudden, all that anybody seems to talk about when it comes to AI-based image generation is Stable Diffusion from Stability AI. Not that that’s a bad thing, mind you 🙂
Till Stable Diffusion came along, if you wanted to do any image generation using AI, you either had to use the limited (in terms of free) image generation provided by Dall-e or MidJourney, or look at Google’s Imagen and simply hope/wish that one day you would have access to that kind of quality when generating images 😛
Sure, there are other alternatives like Craiyon, but the quality isn’t as good as that of Dall-e or its ilk.
One Ring to Track Them All
Till a few months ago, I didn’t think a fitness tracker would be of any benefit for me.
I thought a fitness tracker was something somebody who led an active life-style — a jogger, a swimmer, or somebody who went to the gym regularly — needed but not for somebody like me, someone who sat at the desk (or rather on the couch) the whole day in front of a computer.
Diaries & Blogs & Sites, Oh My!
I had originally planned to write this post to introduce this new blog. But real-life events intruded in the form of AirBnB guests and not getting much sleep (you can read all about that here). But here’s the original post … finally!
iOS 14 — New List Set Up Using UIListContentConfiguration and UIListContentView
iOS 14 is here upon us — or at least, for those of us who use (and develop for) Apple devices. And with its arrival, it brings along a host of changes to how things are coded for iOS devices.
One thing that appears to have changed that I didn’t notice at all at first was the new way to handle list views.
Oculus Quest 2 unboxing and first impressions
As you might have realized if you read my post on the Oculus Quest 2 and Business Apps, I’m very excited about the possibilities presented by the Oculus Quest 2 😃
So, I was just waiting for my new Oculus Quest 2 to arrive so that I could try it out.
Beware that “special” opportunity
The image above is of a message that I received just a little while ago on LinkedIn.
Now some of you are immediately, going “scam” 😃 If you are in that category, read no more — this post is probably of no use to you.
Jobs that are too good to be true
Recently, I came across a job posting which said something along the lines of: remote part-time work, $1K to $2K, located in Europe or America, collaborative work etc.
Being curious, I responded expecting some sort of a part time development opportunity.
How Third-Party Source Code Might Be Stealing Your Ad Revenue
When you are planning a new project, you might be tempted to get a leg up on the long road ahead by downloading and/or purchasing the source code to an app which does some of what you want and then modify it to get you the rest of the way.
Unity and “The associated script cannot be loaded” error
Sometimes, working with Unity can be a bit trying 😀
I was doing a fair amount of house-cleaning on a project where I was moving scripts around, changing file names etc. At some point, I apparently touched a file which was associated with game data.
