Before today’s #AI assistants, there was a “gentleman’s personal gentleman” named #Jeeves.
#Ask Jeeves was a search engine launched back in 1996, designed to let people ask questions in plain, natural language.
In 2006 “Jeeves” was dropped, and the site was #rebranded simply as Ask.com.
Very Good, Jeeves!

The Inimitable Jeeves, by PJ Wodehouse - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A delightfully light and witty read. My first Jeeves and Wooster novel, but of many I now hope to find.

Talk about generational differences! Recently, The Middle-Aged Slacker caught a showing of the "The Shining" at a hip, dive-bar/indy theater. Afterwards, the Slacker had to explain to some GenZ-to-Y-ers why Jack Nicholson initially called the butler "Jeeves". 😉

This morning , my spouse pulled out a dark blue handkerchief, entirely new to me. “Where did you get a dark blue handkerchief?” He immediately replied, “The Anti-Jeeves Society.”
Fair.

Everything Wooster touches turns to ash, but somehow, I can't bring myself to dislike him.
I'm certain Jeeves will finesse everything soon!

This is a fantastically fun read. I have to exercise tremendous restraint to resist watching the BBC adaptations.

So strap in, things will get silly!

He gave us Bertie Wooster, the teddibly British privileged, impetuous young man about town who was not, as Bertie himself might say, overburdened with intellect. Fortunately for Bertie and the rest of us, Wodehouse paired him with the consummate valet Jeeves, who cleverly and repeatedly helped Bertie avoid matrimony or other troubles. Wodehouse also created the Blandings Castle and Psmith (with a P) series of stories, all with the same light touch of wit and humor. The English writer Evelyn Waugh wrote that -quote- “Mr. Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own.”

It is the birthday of the novelist who wrote,
“One prefers, of course, on all occasions to be stainless and above reproach, but, failing that, the next best thing is unquestionably to have got rid of the body.”
P. G. Wodehouse was born on this day in 1881.

Just finished this winter warmer by my dear friend @tomshakespeare.bsky.social - if you like Arctic weather, polar bears, great characters and chaos on a cruise, this one is for you! And don't forget to read the first in the series, The Haha, as well....#TheEnds #Comicfiction #Jeeves
3 brochures from the original production of Lloyd Webber’s 1975 mis-step Jeeves,which ran for only 38 performances.It is rumoured that at one point it had a run time of 4 hours It does look a little old fashioned in the way of the boyfriend looks like a real lark. #andrewlloydwebber #jeeves #theatre

Just finished off @benaaronovitch.bsky.social's #TheMasqueradesOfSpring between this morning's services; #RiversOfLondon does #Jeeves! Excellent!
Based on a scene from The Simpsons. John D. Rockerduck from the Disney Comics laments in his office, "I'll never get what I really want from my birthday." The next panel has Jeeves stoically responding, arms behind his back, "Nobody ever does." The last panel has James with his eyes closed, daydreaming of Rockerduck emerging from a cake wearing only a sash and his hat singing "Happy Birthday, Mister Jeeves~" like Marylin Monroe.
Some men submit to the gaycation. Others submit to the gay 9-to-5.
Disney Duck Comics + The Simpsons. Getting a solid reference for Jeeves was weird, as it looks like every artist draws him radically differently.

A quid. A pound. £1. 🪙
I kid you not. My local book emporium has done me a blinder this morning in the second hand section with this PGWodehouse box set.
All are mint and never read. Only one I didn't have but for one of the King's pound coins I had to take them home

How people are using GenAI via HBR
useful #GenAI infographic from @hbr.org ; time for everyone to dig in & find out how #AI will help them today & bake it into their plan of work ; #AI could be the ultimate digital assistant like the fictional #jeeves or maybe a later stage a fictional #robin (as in batman & robin :)
