Today's Daily Double is... whispering at the machines!

i talk to my computer more than i type at it, sixty seventy eighty percent of everything i write starts as me talking into a gooseneck mic. started bc my wrists and thumbs were filing formal complaints and turned into pure joy somewhere along the way and never turned back. problem is the new office is LOUD, good loud, people-i-like loud, but the mic don't care, it hears the whole room and writes down all of it. so i've been building bloviate, lil personal software that learns my voice from samples of me and cancels out every voice that isn't mine, and today the mic setup finally came together and it is lookin hot af. me whispering into a clean quiet channel while the room roars. few things feel better than a tool you made solving a problem you actually have.

good ship day too: yesterday's actor bug (the one-in-ten role flip) merged and buried, volume slider validated and merged after one last lil scare. stayed late hacking on the new simulator (dumplings, green beans, a modelo) then one more cold one on the ferry home, sitting outside in the dark. talked to nobody. whispered at no machine. good kind of tired.
