At my most recent eye exam, the optometrist recommended that I use a warm compress and massage my eyes afterwards to help with dry eyes, so I ordered a USB-powered eye mask. I like how I don't have to fuss around with figuring out the temperature and duration, especially now that things are colder. It's just there by my bed. It turns on. It...

I wanted to convert our VTT files to TTML files so that we might be able to use them for training lachesis for transcript segmentation. I downloaded the VTT files from EmacsConf 2021 to a directory and copied the edited captions from the EmacsConf 2022 backstage area (using head -1 ${FILE} | grep -q "captioned" to distinguish them from the automatic ones). I installed...

I wanted to e-mail all the EmacsConf speakers who had already uploaded their videos, and I wanted to keep track of the fact that I'd mailed them by adding a note to the :LOGBOOK: drawer in their talk heading. That way, organizers can just look at the logbook to see if we've mailed someone instead of digging through our mailboxes. org-store-log-note assumes that it's...

Now that the kiddo's reasonably well-settled into virtual school and EmacsConf is chugging along nicely, I finally have a little time to explore Mastodon, a federated social network that quite a lot of people have been shifting to (and quite a lot of people have been on all along). When @louis@emacs.ch e-mailed me about including the new emacs.ch Mastodon instance in Emacs News, I...

I figured out how to align the subtitles to get word-level timestamps and generate SRV2 files, so now I'm working on improving the support in subed.el so that it can work with those timestamps. The subed-word-data-load-from-file function in subed-word-data.el should load the word data from the SRV2 file and attempt to match it up with the text, colouring words if they were successfully matched....

There were a lot of great submissions for EmacsConf 2022. The only way we were going to get all of them into EmacsConf was to split it into two full tracks, which we've never done before. We hadn't planned on changing much about EmacsConf this year, but fortunately the other organizers let me talk them into going for two tracks. I've been spending the...

Lots of little improvements because I've been getting some early morning coding time while waiting for A- to wake up. Back to making visual book notes, thanks to the SuperNote Lots of playing outside by ourselves or with others. A- sometimes feels jealous of others, but she'll get the hang of dealing with that feeling someday. 2022-09-03-04 August 2022 #monthly-review.png Blog posts and sketches...

The SuperNote lets me draw with black, dark gray (0x9d), gray (0xc9), or white. I wanted to make it easy to recolor them, since a little splash of colour makes sketches more fun and also makes them easier to pick out from thumbnails. Here's the Python script I wrote: Download recolor.py #!/usr/bin/python3 # Recolor PNGs # # (c) 2022 Sacha Chua (sacha@sachachua.com) - MIT...
