Keeping busy: Birds and Bots

Keeping busy: Birds and Bots | Ecency

Hello!

It's Friday the 4th of April 2025 and today marks my first month without employment, which has mostly been spent feeding the seagulls and messing around on the Internet. Some may wonder if this was not too dissimilar to a normal working day when I was employed... I can confirm that I saved the internet messing for later in the day 😁

With this view though I did find it hard to concentrate at times, and actually moved my office desk to the back room last year where it remains still, and where I am currently seated. There is a spare laptop knocking around though now, thanks to an old workmate who has just told me what the BIOS password is for the nice Dell machine my ex employer left with me. This is a small consolation for being made redundant, but if I can use the laptop to earn a few pennies whilst out and about, that will make me feel like I got a little more from the (or)deal.

Aldi Multi-seed bread? Yes, please!

To the right of my Balcony as I look out to the water is a white apartment block in prime position on the beach. There are seldom human visitors to the small rooftop terrace and so Seagulls and the odd pigeon are often seen perched on the highest point and admiring the view. And this view, to a few Seagulls in the know, is not just one of the Mediterranean but also provides an excellent vantage point to look onto my breakfast table.

The images are stills taken from a video shot through the balcony window which is next to the table we eat at. I'm pretty confident we are being watched eating each day as this is what happens when I stand after breakfast and open the back door.

Over the past couple of years living in this apartment it has been impossible to ignore these seabirds. As you can see they are not shy when food is involved, and If I had more bread there would quickly be a few dozen Seagulls circling in anticipation. Luckily, the noise is never too much and I've not had a single Seagull shit land on the balcony as yet, so thus far it's mostly been enjoying watching these birds chase each other and fight over bread with insane agility and catching skills.

I am entertained that is for sure!

Vortexbot Solana Meteora Airdrop Meme Coin Liquidity WTF???

Also entertaining me, and a close 2nd choice for todays blog, is VortexBot - a Telegram bot for the Solana blockchain which uses the Meteora platform to provide liquidity to high-volume memecoins.

Over the past few weeks I've been fiddling with settings and watching my bots steadily collect SOL and points which qualify for a Meteora Airdrop.

Each wallet started out with 1 SOL:
