Mark Twain once wrote: “I apologize for such a long letter – I didn’t have time to write a short one.”
Working on the TurtleSoft website is like that, too. It’s way too big. Many topics are covered several times over. Some pages are almost identical. We’ve deleted a few dupes, but it’s hard to track them down.
After the first pass is done, the remaining file names will go into a spreadsheet, sorted alphabetically. It’s mostly for a checklist, so we don’t miss anything in final testing (or look twice). It also may help find some of the overlaps.
But as with Samuel Clemens, we have plenty else to do. The website will still do its job, even if it’s bloated.
Meanwhile, I recently discovered Stable Diffusion. It’s an AI that creates pictures based on the text you enter. For example, the accounting manual mentions chic hats a lot, so this was one result for Turtle wearing chic hat:
This was the prettiest result from Goldenseal software:
I’m not sure why it decided to use golden marijuana leaves!
This result was the weirdest:
One of the AI results for Turtle Creek Accounting Software seems like decent front page design for the new website. Very corporate!
And I really like this result from Turtle Creek Software. The rear legs are in the wrong place, but otherwise it’s pretty cool!
The TurtleSoft results were boring. Ditto for most text with construction in it. Those tended to give earthworks and excavators, with nary a turtle at the controls.
