Since A+ and I play lots of Minecraft together, I figured it's a good opportunity to slowly get her into the idea of documenting learning. Besides, I can always practise it myself. Screenshots are handy for that. In Minecraft Java, F1 hides the usual heads-up display, and F2 takes the screenshot. Usually, when I start taking screenshots. A+ starts taking screenshots too. I want...

A+ likes exploring different Minecraft Java modpacks in creative mode. We're currently playing FXNT Create 2. I like challenging myself to figure things out in survival mode, so I'm getting a lot of practice in building early-game survival farms with Create. My setup has changed a little bit over the last few modpacks/worlds. I usually start by mining enough iron and zinc to make...

I want to document more of my Minecraft adventures with A+. Video is a natural way to do this. It builds on her familiarity with the tutorials and streams she enjoys watching. I set up OBS on her laptop and plugged in my Blue Yeti microphone. We did our first interview yesterday. I edited and subtitled it (because why not!), uploaded it as an...

2024-11-30-06 November 2024 daily #moments This month, I experimented with doing my daily drawings on a calendar grid. Since that meant I had a nice neat one-page summary of the month right there, I figured I might as well resume writing these monthly reviews. Most of my discretionary time was taken up by preparations for EmacsConf, which was a lot of fun. The main...

I've been experimenting with these default header args for Org Babel source blocks. (setq org-babel-default-header-args '((:session . "none") (:results . "drawer replace") (:comments . "link") ;; add a link to the original source (:exports . "both") (:cache . "no") (:eval . "never-export") ;; explicitly evaluate blocks instead of evaluating them during export (:hlines . "no") (:tangle . "no"))) ;; I have to explicitly set...

Stats Timeline Data Communication Schedule Recorded videos Recorded introductions...

I came across Ruby Video on Hacker News and thought it was a good idea, particularly the topic view. I mentioned it in a toot and that seemed to strike a chord in the #emacs community there, so I exported some of the metadata for EmacsConf videos into an Org Mode file. @xenodium whipped up a quick web prototype at emacs.tv. I added a...

When subtitle times are too far off from the video or audio, people start worrying if their video has frozen or jumped ahead. It's good to keep subtitles roughly in time with the audio. For EmacsConf, we can get timing information from two places. WhisperX produces a JSON file with word data in the process of doing the speech recognition, and the aeneas forced...
