Open Source Musings & Snow Time
Recent Posts
I do however have an empty winter lodge in Hakuba Japan, a prime place to enjoy the snow. And I have many friends who wish to stay there on the regular. So instead of generated images and character cards for soap purchases, I did the same thing for trips to my winter lodge. And bam, that’s how we get KT Villa. As a fun aside, the Villa part comes from a previous name for our house, Chill Villa, when it was on AirBnB and the KT part comes from nicknames for my wife and myself, Koala and Tree. Cute right?

Pretty much all the hard part of the site is just your regular old booking website challenges. Managing users, managing booking details, making sure two trips don’t overlap, making sure timezones are all done right. Making it look visually okay. It’s an entirely normal website except when you make a booking, you get a SDXL (Stable Diffusion XL from Stability AI) generated image. To boot, I setup SDXL to run a different themed LoRA adapter every two weeks so with a bit of prompt magic and adapter swapping, every trip will generate a fairly unique image.
But I wanted something even sillier. Since I’ve been contracting with a team focusing on themed chatbots, I wanted to take it to the extreme. For every generated imaged, I let users create a character profile card using a multi-modal LLM. That gives us a pretty unpredictable chatbot profile and when paired with a decent small chat trained LLM, users can try chatting with their booking image and see what silliness entails. With time I also plan to somehow cram in Retrieval Augmented Generation somewhere using LangChain.
