NEXT!

OK, the insurance stuff has been secured, set up so those who should not have access to it, cannot. Soon, I will probably soon not be on Disability Pension. That & being isolated from the root cause of the bulk of the problems in my life means that real work again is a definite possibility.

So...

What’s next?

Suggestions, please.

So far, I’ve been told that ♦ I should ramp up my computer business again; ♦ that I should get back into photography; ♦ that I should resume writing articles (but that market has changed, a lot); ♦ I should find a way to use the psych stuff I’ve learned (qualifications? been there, done that); ♦ what else?

I am likely to me married later this year to someone I can actually trust. Trust across the board. Honesty incarnate, this girl. (-:

Said super-woman is running an organic chemicals production line, has skills in a variety of areas such as interior design, is competent at a wide variety of office work, & after awakening to ZERO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT one Friday morning to face a video clip I’d taken a few hours before (local afternoon) of Middleton Beach waves surging gently past to anoint children splashing at the edge, really wants to become an Aussie...

Even if you have no idea about who I actually am, please feel free to make suggestions.

PS, if you’d be interested in a clever Western Australian photographer who works by covering, um, noisy concerts, has a genuine dragon tatt (a specific, named SciFi dragon) on her left forearm (not related to the music/raw-noise), gets along fine with weird people, drop a line... who knows?

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.
