So @Twitter had given me an update, the issue is someone is trying to hack my Twitter / Blog / Gmail accounts; so my email wasn’t updating on my handset??? Now have access to email and can see that twitter have suspended @GamerGeekNews for ‘multiple copyright infringement notifications’, for tweeting links to TechRadar pages that I never had any interest in 🙁 I’ve removed TechRadar from my feed, & apologised…

5 hours or so ago my Twitter account was suspended 🙁 Usually it gives me a prompt to enter my phone number… but not today! I have been suspended a couple of times lately due to re-tweets of ‘how to stream some sporting event for free’; if this is the case again I’ll have to look into how I can prevent my bot from sharing those in the future. Let’s…
I’ve curated my Twitter feed to keep me up to date with my interests, and I’m stoked that other people enjoy the same things that I do & decide to follow my feed too. I cover a variety of technology, data science, and gaming interests… things that I like. Now before I drop make this point don’t get me wrong; I love animals. I’ve been a vegetarian, sometimes vegan, for…

My Raspberry Pi Python Twitter bot stopped posting last night. After I had strong words with it, and told it to pick up its game I deleted the cache database file and let it rebuild the history. This is something that I really need to fix, as my PiHole shows that my bot has made approx 191,383 calls to the twitter api in the last 24 hours… touch wood I’m…

w00t I don’t expect to exceed 5.0M impressions in 28 days in the near future, as this period was over the E3 Expo event. However I have been trying a few more strategies to increase my follower count, currently sitting at just over 10.5k, with 777K tweets since I started this account 8 years ago in June 2011 Thanks to all who follow this account: GamerGeekNews

So something rather strange, although positive, has occurred this week; my Raspberry Pi hosted Python scripts are still sending out around 550 tweets each day, but the tweets are now receiving twice the number of twitter impressions 🙂 As you can see from the chart, impressions have approximately doubled, from ~100 to ~200 thousand each day. This increases the last 28 days to 2.5 million organic impressions! I work with…

Currently working on a new bot, gpt-2 117M Fine Tuned on Trump Tweets 🙂 Extracted tweet history from the Trump Twitter Archive, limiting the extract to solely Trump tweets. This gives me over 25k lines to fine tune a model on! It’s currently running and producing some interesting examples, and I can’t honestly tell if they are real or not??? Here are a few examples for now: I know plenty…

2018 was an intense year personally We moved house and renovated the new place substantially. For a month or so we were living out of a single room, no kitchen or bathroom, and boarded up windows. The place is awesome now, although still a few more things we would like to update, but that can be done over time. We have fibre! 900 MB download speed, this has changed my…
