• I reencoded the EmacsConf videos and tagged some pages for additional work.
• I experimented with using speech-to-text on my phone to quickly draft blog posts. That seems to be working out pretty well. I can even turn them into timestamped captions with aeneas.
• It looks like I'm averaging a little less than a minute on the 3x3 Rubik's cube now (Ao5: 57.01), so I upgraded to a DaYan TengYun V2 M. Feels nice. I also learned the beginner's method on a Megaminx.
• I updated compile-media to handle temporary files, and I changed subed-record to use it.
• I changed subed.el to make it more generic.
• I learned how to use Krita to animate.
• Lots of gingerbread this month.
• Lots of catching up on my backlog, too!
