That Was The Week That Was — 8th March 2026

This week I've been deep in the weeds as I work on expanding some of the systems I use especially in respect of machine-learning. In the past I have used a tool chain of python scripts which I use directly on the command line, but now I'm switching things up to create a node based graph system similar to ComfyUI, using a Python backend and LiteGraph.js frontend, but made from my own discrete nodes which I can chain together to create various pieces of functionality. I've always been a fan of the Unix pipe command and Method Chaining — how you can feed the output of one thing into the input of another and this system allows me to do that visually.

Elsewhere I've been doing some more composition and type explorations.
