2024 Retrospective
It's been a big year, this one. And with the start of 2025, we've reached 3 years of "publication" on this blog. So, I thought I'd blab a bit about what's happened in the last year. Not really about important

My short experience in high school debate
All the way back in high school, just about 5 years ago, I was a freshman looking for clubs to join. For some reason, I ended up joining the speech and debate club at my school. It was already a pretty well established and famous team, and I was dropped

Exploratory Endeavors #1: Youtube Vlog
This summer, I redid my entire website, coming up with new goals, designs, and code. As part of the overhaul, I had to come up with a new "tagline", or the text that's displayed in the hero section. As part of that, I decided to describe

Onimai youtube video essay except there is no video so it's just essay
I just finished watching & reading Onimai, so I'm just dumping my thoughts here video-essay style, except with no organization. Also please stop reading. I blame the Youtube algorithm. It kept serving me clips from this anime. Again and again. And I blame the fun artstyle and pastel

I finished a story today. Which always puts me in a moody retrospective kinda vibe. It is also 12:30 am. Just about the right conditions for the kind of meaningless moody blog writing characteristic of a cliche character in a poorly written YA novel. But sometimes it really is

Neuro Dev Log 7
Today I wasted some more time on the discord audio thing then gave up and moved on. However, I did work on integrating vtube control and twitch integration. I modified the tts library to output text into my virutal audio cable, which feeds into vtube studio and the microphone volume

Neuro Dev Log 6
Today I tried to integrate the current system into a discord bot. The only thing I learned was that I hate working with receiving data from discord voice channels. Literally all I've done today is painfully digging through pycord's source code and documentation trying to first

Day 4! Today's Goal: Give the LLM some character! I was busy with other stuff today so not as much progress. First thing I did was to read up on Samantha and try copying her system prompt over into the web-ui to prove that this can work effectively.
