Learnertic

Discovered a new mode of learning yesterday, & that I have used it all along (I match up bullet for bullet down the characteristics list).

Sister’s kinder are very much VSL.

Know a pre-teen who is probably going to crash during primary school because he’s begun to collide with the non-VSL techniques used in State School, finds school “boring” (a word which evidently carries a heavy freight of meaning for this bright young lad).

Another branch to the tree is emotive learning, which I’ve not explored yet, but sister’s 2nd-last munchkin is an absolute genius at it (as in, I don’t understand the detail, but I can see the little light come on as she flashes to a conclusion far faster than I’m able to).

Know another pre-teen in which this mode also is not being addressed.

Sigh. /ME wishes for a perfect world in which not only was the understanding wider spread, but social politics didn’t intervene with communicating it in time.

Interesting. I come out pretty VSL myself

A VSL Major doesn’s surprise me at all. Pretty sure DLE was as well.

In fact, a growing number of computer-oriented people are conceptually standing up to be counted. (-:

I agree that Dean was primarily VS but he also had near perfect recall which allowed him to perform well in environments which would normally favor auditory-sequential.

I could *so* use that ability now.

new life for an old (FTX) PSU, improved life for one human

the LEDs on this 5m strip happen to emit light centred on a red that does unexpectedly helpful things to (and surprisingly deeply within) a human routinely exposed to it. it has been soldered to a Molex connector, plugged into a TFX power supply from a (retired: the MoBo is cactus) Small Form Factor PC, the assorted PSU connectors (and loose end from the strip) have been taped over. the LED strip cost $10.24 including postage, the rest cost $0, the PSU is running at 12½% of capacity, consumes less power than a laptop plug-pack despite running a fan. trial runs begin today.

every-application-is-part-of-a-toolkit at work

I have a LibreOffice Impress slideshow that I wish to turn into a narrated video. 1. export the slideshow as PNG images (if that is partially broken — as at now — at higher resolutions, Export Directly as PDF then use ‘pdftoppm’ (from the poppler-utils package) to do the same). 2. write a small C program (63 lines including comments) to display those images one at a time, writing a config file entry for Imagination (default transition: ‘cross fade’) based on when the image-viewer application (‘display,’ from the GraphicsMagick suite) is closed on each one; run that, read each image aloud, then close each image in turn. 3. run ‘Imagination’ over the config file to produce a silent MP4 video with the correct timings. 4. run ‘Audacity’ to record speech while using ‘SMPlayer’ to display the silent video, then export that recording as a WAV file. 4a. optionally, use ‘TiMIDIty’ to convert a non-copyright-encumbered MIDI tune to WAV, then import that and blend it with the speech (as a quiet b...

boundaries

pushing the actual boundaries of the physical (not extremes, the boundaries themselves) can often remove barriers not otherwise perceived. one can then often resolve an issue itself, rather than merely stonewalling at the physical consequences of the issue.
