Erasers, voice transcription, and writing by hand

The refactor seems to be going well. The LLM is building around a unifying release system, enabling me to release across all platforms from our CLI. The first pass to the page scanner went poorly, but honestly, it’s probably my handwriting more than anything else. I definitely scribble. Did you put these there? Made by Nan. I’ve had a slash goal going for over four hours now, the Unify integration. We’ll continue running it overnight and hope to have a working or near-working prototype. I’m excited to experience a large export using the RAVS implementation. As for blogging and converting these journal entries into blog posts, I’m going to try to type them, but I’ll likely do voice readings and then transcribe them. I imagine voice text will be quicker, but retyping may give me the opportunity to expand more. Maybe I’m overthinking it, and I can do the same or even more with voice. On a different note, my erasers came in today, and I’m amazed. I’ve never had an eraser truly erase my writing. There’s always been some leftover smudge or torn paper. I used ChatGPT to find this brand, Sumo Grip, and I love it. Now I just need to remind myself to erase rather than scribble, I think it’d be a cool little attribute to this handwriting to scan the pages, probably just photos with my phone, and upload them alongside my digital posts in a fun visual component. I really have become a fan of this daily writing. Not only is it a great activity to do before bed, it’s also been nice with my desk set up to be readily available. Paper and pencil is definitely the quicker means I suppose I could keyboard keybind to VoxMD that takes an audio recording and transcribes it into a digital note, but there’s something about having a pencil in hand and paper in front of me that inspires me to keep writing. One idea or recount turns to many, and the paper and pencil inspire me or entice me to continue adding lines to the pages. Now I just need to optimize my writing technique because after a while my hand begins to hurt. I imagine that’s why cursive was developed. To smoothly write quickly and comfortably developed in a time when I imagine many more people were handwriting all day, every day. I bet there’s a lot to learn in regards to handwriting from history.
