A Crayon Costume, Ace Hardware, and a Pass for My Phone
A costume party, a shift at Ace, and some work on tools.
A costume party at church
Yesterday at church we had our Mega Awesome Costume Party for our kids area. My wife and I went as crayons.
Ace Hardware
I worked at Ace from 12:00 to 17:00.
A pass for my phone
Some of my sites only let in visitors from a short list of internet addresses, like my home network. That keeps them locked down, but it also locks me out when I'm on my phone away from home.
I added a way to RustProxy to let a signed-in phone through, and built a small app for it called RustProxy Mobile Pass. I sign in once, and it keeps my phone's current address on the list. It only keeps the one current address. If I sign out or change my password, the pass ends. The first version is out for Android. The iPhone version needs a Mac to build, so that will come later. The RustProxy side is running on my own server, but it isn't in a public release yet.
The first thing I used it for was reaching my AI assistant, Hermes, from my phone.
More on the reading-cue app
I went through the recordings from Friday's class and Saturday's review session. On Saturday it missed the instructor announcing chapters, like "Chapter 6, basis." I fixed that. When I played the Saturday recording back through it, it caught every chapter announcement.
It can also run two different ways of turning speech into text side by side, next to Zoom's own transcript, so I can see which one hears the class best. And the page name it shows now matches the wording on the video itself. New test versions now go up on GitLab, so there's one place to get them.
Two things still need a real Zoom meeting to work out: reading Zoom's own transcript, and showing the name of whoever is sharing their screen.
The class video splitter
I'm also planning a tool that cuts class recordings into separate lesson and quiz videos. I looked over the sample recordings from Friday's class and wrote up how that class would be cut. A few rules got settled: a quiz is always its own video, everything stays in the order it happened, and a Saturday review session comes out as one video with the breaks taken out.
