November 2024 Video, Tracking, Snoopy, Police, etc, etc

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

Hi Guys. LOTS of topics overlap, as I say at the end. e.g. Snoopy, Fun, Police, Charity, Business, Technology, War, Peace, etc, etc ...

https://www.youtube.com/embed/RP_XreChomk?si=J3RhasqyTQNwGlQN is a 1.3 hour video with the trails of photos shot between Saturday 1st until Friday 29th November 2024. Unknown Problems with Robin's Samsung Pocket camera means some material was shot with a different camera, with old 4:3 aspect ratio. Also, some days, there were no photos. But you will see that Robin now spends most of his days in Sunninghill village, in places like cafes, restaurants, and the Comrades Club ! :-) The video starts with Robin's usual amusing introduction, shot on Friday 29th November, 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. She had a blood test: no problems seen, but no diagnosis. The latest letter to the DVLA appeared in earlier videos, but is dealt with more clearly on Robin's PRESS and DVLA pages ;-) e.g. Julie Lennard, head of the DVLA, left that job to head the CPS :-) 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 in it :-) I might 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.  ! :-) NOTE: the last two days of November are not included in this video ref nov24a.mp4 - which MAY get replaced in due course ;-)

That's the Youtube description above. This being written on Saturday 30th November, on what will be a VERY busy day. Late today we have a family get-together at Blenham Palace, to see the Christmas lights. LOTS of coincidences, to be explained in a moment. June told me we plan to leave here, at maybe 1700, for an ETA there about 1830, driving up the M40. Anyone, including family, can see where we are, off my "Contact" page http://www.gpss.co.uk/contact.htm  - e.g. for renezvous, knowing no problems, or even "watching our backs". Tracking can be useful ; The black and white SOS trackers should be the most useful, updating every few minutes, including our journey up, walking around, and journey back home, perhaps arriving back here about 2200 ( 10pm ) UK time. June and/or Samantha will be driving, but not in June's car K555GPS, but Samantha's silver Merc CLk 200, reg starting KY57. The SpotT2 tracker updates less often, but anyone can see it "live" and the "history" such past few hours - on even more detailed "satellite" mapping. Among the important jobs today, before we leave, I did get the chance to update Snoopy's "Blog11" on http://www.gpss.co.uk/rbblog11.htm  with this video. Coincidences: We will be near Woodstock and the Thames Valley Police Technical Support Unit - one of Robin's many police customers in the early 1990. See my "AsOnTV" page on http://www.gpss.co.uk/asontv.htm  for the video of Nick Knowles being arrested outside The Jade Fountain in Sunninghill - back in 1995 ? Watched by Carol Vorderman and a large studio audience - and many TV viewers ;-) Another coincidence: only yesterday Robin & June attended yesterday's PCSO meeting in Sunningdale - LOTS of laughs - photo trail MAY get published ;-)

LOTS of things overlap: Hobbies, Charitable causes, Business - of ALL types - including politics & pranks ;-)

Love & Strength

Robin
