I must confess I have not been putting much into 'Tales of the Urban Explorer', the website of late. That can be squarely blamed on 'Fallout 4’ and my recent addiction to the game.
On top of that, a nagging issue was getting me down, that of a DIV with a background and some text, and its implication when viewed on lower-resolution screens. Phones are the worst; everyone uses them and expects a great product whether the resolution sucks or not.
I don't know if the baseline version of 'Tales of the Urban Explorer' looks good on a phone or not, as it's still unpublished on the web and will be for a while.
The issue in question I fixed today and what a relief that was. ChatGPT does well, but if you feed it shit, then it shit's back at you. I needed to ask the question differently for it to feed me some decent code that still was not perfect, but good enough to tinker with.
…'don't expect AI to turn you into some master coder, you still need to know what the fuck you are doing if you want your product to work. This was not the final code and I had to tweak it’…
While the background image is now larger, unless you shrink the window down to some stupid size then the text will no longer encroach onto the next DIV. Maybe I can stop it and force it to truncate, that will be the ultimate solution.
As I literally have only 14 church explores out of well over 400, I figured I may as well do ALL of them and be done with the ‘Churches and Religion’ section in one fell swoop.
I have a spreadsheet with all my published explores in clickable reach, but the last one was so old it was published on busy.org. If you are new to these parts then this will mean little to you, so I will explain with a history lesson:
In the bad old STEEM days, there was a dapp named busy.org. It was much like peakd.com and hive.blog, but handed out votes if you used it.
Everyone used busy.org, due to the free vote and if you happened to have 7000 followers like @meesterboom, then you got a massive vote (of $1 or so).
The gods at busy.org figured that the more followers you had and the more combined SP (not HP), those followers mustered, then you must be a fellow god and be given a huge vote.
I being late on the scene managed a 5c vote or so. Most unfair I say!
…’busy.org years ago on the STEEM blockchain. A certain @berniesanders features with a reputation of -17, thanks to @ned I do believe. Those were the days of mass drama and fun!'…
busy.org asked for a donation with a tick box when you were about to post, but nobody ever ticked it. When Justin Sun took over STEEM, he pulled a lot of delegations that were handed out with the @mrdelegation account including the busy.org one.
When this happened, the busy.org gods, said ‘Fuck it’, left STEEM and removed their image servers along with all our images.
Fortunately, I save all my images, so my St Hilda post is not lost in time.
Scroll a little further down and you see the mess busy.org left. Editing the post you can see the references to the busy server in the form of ‘
The IMG_7121.jpg notice is very handy for me, as I can now simply replace the images from my backup repository.
In 2019 I was not adding filters to my images leaving them quite dull, so this set has been subject to the usual mass filter I add to all my images.
Looking so much better now, why did I leave the word ‘Church’ out in 2019?
Editing this post had the unfortunate side-effect of one auto-vote applying to this 5-year-old post, of course in vain. Is this something related to hive.vote and its settings?
@buggedout was the unfortunate voter and I know full well many others auto-vote my content, so it's best I tag him here, as he may know what is going on. No other auto-votes were triggered.
In the future, I will be editing these posts, and I don't want votes going to waste.
Today I added the 'Hospitals and Asylums' section, and it's getting more and more streamlined and taking me less time to populate each section. The end product would be more automation, the counting of individual explores per section and some nifty javascript to do a count up on the main page and display the results.
Once each section has at least a semblance of content within, I will contact @steddyman who has graciously allowed me some of his web space in exchange for unlimited free fat bastard breakfasts.
As we infrequently do these unhealthy snacks of Bacon, Eggs, Toast, Mushrooms etc.., I feel this is a decent deal for me.
…’YOU AGAIN, Carla doesn’t pull any punches but can you blame her? Dumping shit on her repeatedly makes for a jaded trader’…

All that's needed is for me to keep away from Fallout 4 and things could happen soon. I should take heed from Trashcan Carla who repeatedly states… 'YOU AGAIN', when I initiate a trade which consists of me dumping all my junk onto her.
What else can I do with eight sets of Raider Leggings?
Businesses Gone Bust next. Oh, the joy…
Thanks for the heads up. My voter doesn't check post age when it votes. I should probably do that...
You are using your own voting app, or script? Kudos to you if so..., I will be editing some more of these in the coming weeks.
Yeh, I started building one that would do heuristics and vote intelligently but the curation goalposts kept shifting so its just a dumb voter now.
OMG I finished 4 ages ago, now trying to get into cyberpunk2077....with difficulty too much fiddly button stuff.
Such a bugger when you lose stuff, thats why I have numerous SD cards sitting around until I upload here, not clever enough to do a website, so hope yours works out. v2?
I have it, but couldn't get into it. Maybe the city theme wasn't for me?
Yes, but it's more than that. I wanted full control and didn't have it last time.
yeah the city scheme is too slick maybe I try again in the dark nights of winter.
Did you download the new expansion they just released?
Fallout 4 expansion or 76? I couldn't get to grips with the latter. Tell me otherwise and that it's great and 'Tales of the Urban Explorer' may cease to exist!
No, Fallout 4. They just released new content for free I heard.
That's the version that got me hooked, the remastered PS5 one.
AI can be dumb sometimes. I sometimes use Gemini, then ChatGPT, then Copilot. The result are inconsistent. More often than not, GitHub Copilot still give the best result.
Btw I remember back in my curie curation days, your urban exploration posts were kind of post that I always want to curate 😂
@steddyman raves about CoPilot, he told me about it long ago, I'm just so used to Chat it's second nature now.
Well thanks, it was a big thrill to get the 'big @curie' then. A $70 vote was groundbreaking!
Poor Trashcan Carla. She has secrets of her own, you know...
You know where she gets her endless supply of ciggies? 😀
I think she's a synth. Better kill her just to be safe.
I could be an Institute sympathiser!

Back in the Steem days I think I only ever posted on steemit. For at least part of that time, I was using some image server that has since bit the dust. Steemit still has them cached but when they were forked to hive they were lost. Lately, i've been creating an index of all of my posts to make it easier for me to find stuff and fixing the images on the hive side of things as I go.
These blockchains are immutable (until the power is switched off!), especially the image hosting. Some of my very early ones may well have been hosted on the STEEM image servers, but I can get them back.
Busy.org I completely forgot about them! Drama, indeed!
It was a lot more interesting in those days, never a quiet moment!
"Steem" is a word that perhaps not many on here will remember. And from some points of view is better lol!
Yes it's a dirty word but once we were all enamoured by it.
That's for sure!
Just can say dint give up, everything get fixed been a while since saw ur last post.
Tales of urban explore 💪🏻⚡⚡
It's coming along nicely, and maybe soon to be live. Hope I don't get bored again, a recurring issue with me.

AI can never be as smart as humans no matter what kind of improvement they want to give to it. I’ve used the AI or ChatGPT so many times and it’s dumb asf😅
Then keep F4 away so we have more of you here. Good you could recover your pics. Somehow, things are different now.
