Man, these noise reduction models are flippin amazing. World class.

I designed unlimited undo for jj flexible, a scripting and command / control system which will allow you to write radio setup commands in either natural language or shortened commands a la scripting. This is all just written in design plans, and it seems trivial, but it should allow us to support users which limited motor control or an inability to type. This should open up amateur radio via a Flex Radio or any other supported radio to folks who may not be able to enjoy the hobby. Not that I had no other features to code or anything. All I could say was, well, let's just add that to the list. Feels like here's more junk to do, have fun and 73. I had a blast tuning cw signals to allow us to record cw to use with our systems and noise reduction stuff. Got some great recorded sound / data to help us refine the training / models. It's a good day's end. Once we're done, this thing's gonna rock. It rocks now, don't get me wrong, but some of these things we're kickin ass and taking names one feature at a time, and none of it is bolt on accessibility either. This kind of design is not easy, but if you're gonna do accessibility right, do it as a part of your main application's main code and make sure it works from a functional point of view. The hours you'll spend testing may be boring as hell, heck pressing keys thousands of times and then doing the same thing in other screen reader or within a magnifier will save you thousands of hours later if you're adding it to an application that isn't accessibility. Regressions happen, and accessibility isn't immune to them, but once you're dialed in and are making accessibility testing something that you just do, you'll be red lining it to super success. 73 de K5NER

We have to be at the surgery center tomorrow at 8⊦30. Hoping that I don't have any issues with the anesthesiologists. They asked who was the doctor last time, and when I told them what happened, they were like, was it doctor QuestionMark", I had no idea, but she looked it up and was like, oh yeah, that guy does crap like that all the time. Unfortunately, they won't know who will be there until tomorrow. Also in my favor, I may not need general anesthesia, and that was Dr. QuestionMark had a fit about. Didn't matter that I've had over 100 surgeries, he refused to do general, and my doctor who did that surgery has asked me several times if I was ok after that. I think I scarred him more than I was, though I do remember it was painful. Hopefully it will all be ok tomorrow.

It's a good day. #uspolitics

Absolutely brilliant. I earned myself a couple more months in the stupid hyperberric chamber. This will give me more than 100 hours in the stupid thing. Doctor wants to see if it will close first, then if not he will do something. I'm not at all looking forward to it. Life under pressure and at 100% oxygen is not at all something I enjoy anymore.

This place reminds me of what will happen if we let AI handle everything. "board is green" I see that daily when my project's on track.

If I lived in a midworld adjacent world, I'd probably ... well grudgingly ... want to work for northcentral positronics. Positively positronic,

I own over a thousand books I haven't read yet, maybe more, but damn, reading this makes me want to re-read the whole dark tower series. I never have read the wind through the keyhole. Nice touch to put Hemmingford Home, Nebraska in this book. Many other books from King I haven't read either, and I'd probably be seeing more parallels to published work.

This waking up at 3 a.m. daily crap really sucks. This morning it sucked so bad I had to ask the shiny new Siri which 2 a.m. it was since I woke up at 1⊦57. Turns out it was the second, so technically 3 a.m. and not sleeping in for me. Hoping I can listen to something really boring and maybe go to sleep. Perhaps I should study new JJ Flex code, enlightening that it may be, it's more likely to lull me to sleep than King's newest, finally read the two Talisman novels again so now I'm ploughing new ground as it were. I really should be writing non-slop based documentation, I write leagues, lightyears, better than Claude, but there's so much to do and the help system's still under construction. My help system is almost under construction more than the Memphis Airport seems to be with planned grandure always on offer. In my case I plan and intimately know the grandure though, just need to get it done.

I wonder if I'll have to reset face id after fy surgery like I had to do before the last one and then do it again for how ever many surgeries I'll have to fix this stupidity. Last year, the nose trumpetthat utterly confused the thing. Got it out, and I still had a few problems, so I ended up resetting it. Now my watch can unlock the phone if face ID fails, but sometimes that doesn't work, especially if you're straight out in recovery and not near the watch. For it to work, you have to have the watch on your wrist and unlocked, and you also have to be near enough bluetooth wise to matter, and Apple doesn't tell you how far. Interesting times ahead. I see my general/pain really

This agent I'm usingcan tell me we tested this feature two weeks ago at 3:48 pm, but it can't remember a simple guide that I gave it. We've had this same conversation about five times already. AI's being super intelligent tonight ... but I'm thankful taht I have it because it saves me lots of timee, and energy, both of which I don't have after this difficult day. Still hanging in there today though.

Hanging at the ocular plastic surgeon's office. Apparently, I need to have this mass removed immediately. It's kind of scary to see how fast they're pushing this through, like this week fast. If they'd got me in here sooner, like a month ago, this wouldn't be a damn emergency. If I was in the hospital, they'd need to take it out today. This sucks to say the least. But they need to take this out first before they can fix my jaw. Life is fun. And the surgery is next Thursday so that's just great!

Interesting, My phone had dropped to like 75% and I had an appointment, so plugged it in for a while. I guess it tries to be intelligent here as well, because it charged to 100%. I'm guessing that it detected that I had an apointment as well and might need more than 95%. I'm ok with this as long as it doesn't omake a habit of it. A few full charges won't kill this battery.

Right, BBC, Bolsenaro is not pronounced Bolsenaroo, No idea why literally all their news readers do this. Not a Bolsenaro fan, but I'm a fan of good pronunciation.

I killed my current usage of compiled help and the old Microsoft help viewer's craziness. Not only is the help system way more efficient—it loads help almost instantly, but the files compress way better in the installer we use. A chm, for example for JJ flexible was almost 600 kilobytes. Html compresses down to almost 250 kilobytes. Also, markdown is used as the source for all of its content. Lots of testing to do still, but it's super neat for multiple reasons now, and I can thank NVDA for sucking at a feature for setting me on the right track.

#NVDASr Users, if you open compiled HTML help files, do you have problems opening HTML Help indexes (indices). When I go to index, I hear all the index entries run together into one line and when I arrow up and down I get "unknown". Any ideas? I know that some use HTML pages instead, but I also know there's still lots of compiled HTML help as well.

We just received official notice that we are to use superintelligence en lieu of artificial intelligence, cause computers are super intelligent I guess and to please mr. orange. This is stupid, dumb, and I'm sure made our chief technical officer pretty uncomfortable, because we're tech people, and we know how stupid the term superintelligence is no matter what direction we're getting. I probably won't even mention the topic at work, just as I don't use the name of the agency The Department of War unless it's official. Super, super I say.

I had some extra chic fil-a lemonade, So I made a strawberry lemonade smoothie with strawberry yogurt. I wouldn't call it smooth, it's almost like a strawberry lemonade slush, and it's fire!

My help system is a disaster. Nothing like redesigning it at 3⊦30 A.M. after waking up agonizing about it. I sure hope I didn't dream about it. What a weird existence I live.

I use goodreads to log everything that I've read. I swear I've read Black House, book 2 of Talisman by Stephen King. According to Goodreads, I'd read The Talisman, but nada from Black House. Weird. Oh well, it's in there now, and I'm well into this messed up tale now, and it's been long enough that a reread necessary, especially since book 3 is up next on my list.
