[2025-01-07 Tue]: I like the way Karthik's blog posts have play-by-plays for the videos (ex: Fringe Matters: Finding the Right Difference), so I've added an experimental play by play at the bottom of this post. Video not supported. Thumbnail:Download the video I wish I could memorize all these keyboard shortcuts in Emacs, but I just don't use some commands often enough to build the...

A+ often enjoys watching Minecraft videos on Youtube where streamers take on challenges like surviving harder, more realistic worlds. We briefly gave RL Craft a spin the other day, but I died to a dragon and that wasn't realistic enough for A+, so we checked out Underdog today. We couldn't get Underdog to work under GDLauncher on her computer even when I changed the...

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...
