Into October 2024 Lovelock & Snoopy Robot Boat News video

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

Hi Guys, particularly on Microtransat Forum, I've updated Snoopy's "Blog11" on http://www.gpss.co.uk/rbblog11.htm with latest news including the "Into October 2024" video below ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZJx7P41Hqk  is a 1.2 hour video with the trails of photos shot between Tuesday 1st until Friday 4th October 2024. The video starts with Robin's usual amusing introduction, shot on Friday 4th 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. Now solved ? 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, back to what is was 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 has still not seen her Magnolia House Doctor. As it happens a letter arrived from the DVLA on Friday 4th ! 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. You can do it yourself - and 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. This morning, I played much of the video, to check the automatic subtitles/cations, that translate into any language. I was amused, and pleased, that

the word "NATO" was recognised properly, when I read out the warning signs on my Study window :-) Youtube had done it wrongly for years :-)

Take Care

Robin
