Day two

Some more context on “wmwt”

“wmwt”, or “Watch me write this”, is an idea I had to essentially record the keystrokes I’m producing in some text editor, then allow a recreation of me writing them. Kinda like undo-history, but in video form. This is primarily as more of a personal restriction, intended to stop me from pursuing the clankers on advice on my writing ability.

As for the efficacy of it, I cannot proper assess yet, but when you watch (if you do) the video at the bottom of this webpage, you won’t exactly see a giant paragraph turning up out of nowhere straight outta chatGibbly.

I’ve noticed a few slight issues with this:

• Prior to today, videos over 15 seconds were bugged to shit as I[1] wasn’t appending any timestamp to the video headers. So this lead to some weird glitches. Supposedly this is fixed ( see video at bottom)
• No vim bindings makes me feel like an absolute caveman.
• The theme is horrible
• Auto-scroll does not .. auto-scroll, so my markdown preview looks wack as shite

See the site at https://wmwt.tcotc.dev/

Tcotc

So today I did do some creation of sorts. If we’re counting fixing broken code, which I am, as it’s my rules, so like, I can do what I want ?

Bdns

I’ve been working on a project I call BadDNS, it’s a …DNS that allows for custom rules, the primary purpose/idea is that you have a shared bucket of tokens/spend per day, and as these are shared, there’s some element of social pressure to reduce usage of certain things. I’ve been hesitating over adding to it as it’s complexity has grown, as currently there are many features, but I’m going to reduce the scope, and allow users to bring a custom DNS.

This reduction of features, aka not doing ad blokcing, (should) allow for me to move onto the API/User interface.

That’s all for today folks, I had a spendid day, though no Gym, and the leetcode daily was not completed - primarily as I saw the “hard” label and decided a leetcode easy was in need.

A bit of a side-note, but I really, really want to get better at writing. Hence ya know, alla this site. But I think I’m currently missing an inherant skill of “context”. What is needless repetition, what is not ? What is unknown to you ? What is known ? Who’s my target audience ? Idk . I’ll figure it out. The daily’s here aren’t exactly meant to be essays perfectly crafted, but a starter point.

[1] The clanker did, I am unsure if creation counts if the clanker did it…
