Excellent, where abouts did you stay? how was your trip?

It was a wonderful trip..... 5 days at the Caribbean Beach Resort. It is taking me several days to recover... we drove 14 hours down and 14 back. Good thing we had our portable DVD player for the car!

Have you been ill? Your face looks really gaunt compared to a year ago. I hope everything is ok.

Sorry for not replying sooner - yeah, no health problems now :) Basically in the first picture I was only a few lbs away from being classed as morbedly (sp?) Obese. In the second picture, I'm 60+ lbs lighter, and no longer at risk of having to have quadrouple heart by-pass surgey before hitting 40 (All joking aside, if I'd carried on living the way I did back then, I did run the risk of that happening - no exercise and junk food do not make for a good cardiovascular system)

I think it was just the way the webcam caught the pic + the haircut that day, the style of which made me look a lil thinner around the face than usual - here's one I took about a week ago, for a spoof-project type thing I was working on, and although I'm the same weight as in the other pic, I do look a lot better :)

Hey Hiro, I think you can afford to gain some weight :). I would do some exercises that focus on building up the arms. I think the loose sleeves there accentuate your slim~skinniness.

And to tell the truth, I think you look skinny. Maybe it's because I live in the USA, or Texas... maybe other members can agree/disagree.

The arm thing I'm the first to admit - hell my neighbours kid has got bigger arms than me, It's weird though, 'cause I've always had skinny arms. Back when I was a teenager I used to run 100m, 200m & Cross-Country, and the school P.E. teacher was forever trying to bulk my upper-body up, but it just never happened. It's weird, 'cause although my mom & Dad are on the thin-side, my dad, back when he was in his 20s, used todo Body Building, and got pretty big, so I guess I can't argue genetics :)

The USA Comment is interesting though, 'cause I've noticed recently on a lot of clothes there are two different size listings - A European size, and an American size. Seriously, what I'm wearning in that pic is classed as:

Shorts - European Size: S | American Size: XS

Tee-Shirt - European Size: XS | American Size: XXS (or 2XS)

But yeah, I wouldn't mind bigger arms, I might look into the P90X Programme that everyone seems to be raving about, see if that'll have any affect.

I saw a picture of your hair before it was 'corrected' :D I have to admit... it looks better now ;) haha!

In all seriousness, though, your hair does look nice blonde! Nice work from Jason! :)

lol Jason helped with the stuff that ended up wrong. I paid a professional a LOT (turns out they charge per hour on things like this) to get it looking this way. In the last 24 hours my hair has been bleached three times, colored, then colored again. :p My scalp hurts a tish now!

So worth it though!!!

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
