@bradwilson there’s always more grumpy to go.

Just wait once we get closer to November. The crazy hasn’t even started yet.

Time to do some window washing 😂🏴‍☠️

@LexYeen if you make the laws anything is legal!

Blogged: Integrating OpenAI Image Generation into a .NET Application

@bradwilson "You got nothing on me" - said the pear.

@khalidabuhakmeh Did he bite you after this? 🤣

It's beer thirty! 🍻💨🏴‍☠️

Having some fun with the image AI while tweaking the image integration UI in Markdown Monster.

#markdown #dotnet

It's been a blast working on this and playing around with ideas for images.

AI Image gen isn't perfect, but it does open all sorts of possibilities that I simply wouldn't have done/tried before, because it would have required a designer or more likely would have just not get done because too much $$$ for a hobby project.

A few things I've successfully used:

* Music single cover (several)
* Icon for tools
* Splash screen logo
* Image backgrounds for Web site
* Blog banner images

Mostly done with the AI image generator integration in Markdown Monster.

Image Generation is a piece of cake but the UI around this went through a lot of iterations.

I'm already using the shit out of this now even if I'm not embedding into Markdown content.

Playing around with OpenAI Image generation integration into
Markdown Monster today.

Insane what you can do relatively easily in terms of integration with just a few very simple REST HTTP calls.

Finally a few days of wind and waves… 💨🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

@filipw Great post. Especially like you're using the REST API instead of the Azure .NET libraries...

This is something I've been meaning to look into myself.

Evening playtime post sailing. Fire in the hole…
