Mid October 2024 News from Snoopy & Lovelocks in Sunninghill

[Robin Lovelock on robin@gpss.co.uk]

Hi Guys, the "Mid October 2024" video is below, but, for the robot boat guys, it's also on "Blog11" on http://www.gpss.co.uk/rbblog11.htm including today's good news about solar power levels on Snoopy Sloop 11. Do not forget that I am still seeking help on things like the GPS Logger, and a suitable module to reduce current to a stalled servo. Things overlap, such as the DVLA and my driving licence. Try not to fall off your chairs laughing at my latest news near end of http://www.gpss.co.uk/ffdvla.htm but of course, far more important

things happen in our little village of Sunninghill, such as conversations within the Comrades Club, cafes, pubs, and restaurants ;-) 

https://www.youtube.com/embed/ga3xPUYI1d0?si=Rz74Fjog9h2HeFJA is a 2.2 hour video with the trails of photos shot between Friday 11th until Friday 18th October 2024. The video starts with Robin's usual amusing introduction, shot on Saturday 19th and recent days, walking down their front drive at 22 Armitage Court in Sunninghill. Robin shows you Snoopy's Robot Boat in the front garden, on 24/7 Static Test, researching improving solar power. Not yet done. The boat should soon be ready for a Bray Lake Test, before a 2024 Atlantic Attempt. Photo trails show how, with the right help, they might get the house and garden back to what they were several decades ago.  This, and earlier videos, have important detail for potential helpers in "property maintenance" ;-) They need plenty of experience and "common sense" ;-) After the photo trails, Robin wraps up with video shot in July 2023: prophetic words of James Lovelock about Global Warming, and Robin's suggestions about the DVLA. He still has not received his driving licence. Most guys would be annoyed, but Robin is often amused by incompetence - so long as it does not result in suffering, pain, or death. It has been very "inconvenient", with more load put on June, coping brilliantly with her health problems. With the right "nudge", June spoke to guys at Magnolia House GP Surgury and got an X-Ray: now she needs a blood test. The latest letter to the DVLA appears, but is dealt with more clearly on Robin's PRESS and DVLA pages ;-) We had our local by-election in Sunninghill on the Thursday. Yes, as can be expected, from Robin's career, then hobby interests, there are plenty of examples of people, GPS Tracking, and technology being exploited. e.g. wildlife and people caught on CCTV; Sunninghill Comrades Club; Pub Lunches ;-) The automatic subtitles/captions were soon available, with translation into any language. Well Done Youtube Guys, whoever and wherever you are ! ;-) Footnote: Youtube used to give a choice of three images, for the "title picture" - and now just one. Often a good choice - even better if not me :-) I could do it myself - not an image bigger than 2 MB ! Not difficult with old Paint. Google and Youtube things change - fewer people to employ and pay ? Bring back people, simply aided by A.I.  ! :-)

That's the Youtube description above.

BTW I've found that public "Who has visited"  information valuable, at the end of my pages.

Thanks those that make regular visits, looking at the date & time at top, to see if an update has been made.

It saves time, particularly sending emails to guys who have problems with big emails ;-)

For the very few, who hide their IP address, rather than a simple "UK" or "USA" or "Switzerland"

Don't forget that some guys ( not me ) can "see you hiding" ;-)

The same applies to your being tracked, without you being aware.

But I welcome it - e.g. trackers on my "Contact" page http://www.gpss.co.uk/contact.htm

Read this far ? Well Done ! :-)

Take Care

Robin
