Palaeontologist: Dinosaur Footprints – Biomechanics – Simulation
[note May '26 - this post is a bit out of date now. By far the easiest way forward is to install LM studio and run your models there. Hook them up to VS code with the 'Continue' add on, or install opencode, as I've detailed in this post.] I've found VC Code copilot to... Continue Reading →
Meshroom has for some time been one of my top choices for open-source or free photogrammetry software, offering a really deep amount of customization and tinkering. However, while this blog made a big splash early on reviewing all the different open-source photogrammetry software, I've found they haven't really kept up with Metashape or RealityScan, and...

At the recent SEB conference, I traveled sans laptop, working on the assumption I could do everything urgent on my OnePlus Open.

Welp, it’s new computer time. My Surface Laptop Studio was starting to slow me down a bit with work, and wasn’t keeping up with games, even with the eGPU. I was also starting to feel like I was missing out on the new copilot+ PC stuff – I dabble with local LLMs and stuff, and... Continue Reading →
A shortish review here about the Monitor I've been using at work for about 6 months now. It's the Philips 40" curved monitor: I needed a new monitor to go with the new computers my team and I got set up with, and I very specifically wanted a very high-resolution monitor for multi-tasking. I wasn't... Continue Reading →
*Note, I was sent these headphones for review by JBL nearly a year ago, but they've had precisely zero input into this review (obviously, given I haven't written it until now), and it doesn't affect what I'm writing at all. The only benefit I stand to gain is the amazon affiliate link I'll shove at... Continue Reading →
