Gemini follow up

I decided to have another try via the Gemini app using vanilla 2.0 Flash and it's Image 3 integration and it did way better! I didn't make the same mistake of asking for fireballs. But it did manage to refine several times including fixing spelling.

Nice work Gemini!

Gemini 2.0 Flash image editing

Wow - long time between posts...

When I heard that Gemini had launched experimental support for iterative editing of generated images, I was keen to give it a try:

So far so good! But it needed to be more Eurovision!

Pretty good! He needs a name

Introducing Glow Bandit from Slovakia! Eurovision is all about the show, bring on the wow factor

Hmm, I was hoping for fireballs

Those don't look quite right

Geez, who turned out the lights

Oh dear, this is not going well

Well I guess his hair got brighter, shame he now has no face.

Ok, not quite so dark. Can we fix his face?

He's back in the dark again

Maybe if I ask it to think harder...

After that fail, I think we should go back to the start

We seem to be stuck with this monstrosity

Lets point it back to before things went bad

Maybe that's as good as it's gonna get. Let's see if we can get it to zoom an edited image and add detail

If at first you don't succeed...

LOL wut? The Sims - Eurovision edition. Lets see if we can make it more realistic

<slow clap with one massive hand >

Ok, hands almost work. What's up with his shirt?

WTH?

Amazing lap of the Nurburgring

An absolutely unbelievable lap of the Nurburgring in a Mclaren 12C GT3 during the 24hr race

Configuring Samsung WatchOn to control MySKY box

Samsung WatchON is a free app that came on my Galaxy S4 that turns the phone into a multi-device remote. It also provides video on demand (but not in NZ it seems).

I successfully configured the Sony TV and Pioneer DVD player in our lounge, and proceeded to torment my wife by randomly adjusting the volume/changing channel/turning the TV off - good times!

However,  I couldn't figure out how to add our MySKY HDi  pay TV box as a device.

Turns out, they are made by Pace.

To add it as a device choose, Add Device, Set Top Box, Show other brands. Then find Pace and keep trying codes until the box turns on/off (I think it was about code 14 before it worked). Then presto! No need to find three remotes to use the TV, it can all be done from your phone!
