I was contacted by one of Middlebury’s schools abroad regarding a Google Sheets issue. It’s a pattern you’ve seen before. The main system didn’t support their edge-case needs.1 A person, who has recently moved to a new job elsewhere, set up some Google Sheets to accomplish the task. Now that this person was gone, no […]

It’s a small, open world
. . . at least some of the time. At a recent basketball game for one of my children, a fellow parent whom I have spoken to a number of times over the years said “Hey, I saw one of your pictures in a presentation I was watching yesterday.”1 He described one of the images […]
AI Wanderings
As I worked with Amy on this week’s AI article (It’s not live, it’s Memorex AI) that kind of addresses more sophisticated media generation and the weird world of whether people are people online . . . I got way too much stuff and examples that were probably too odd for the current audience. And […]
Multiple Regex Expressions in a Sublime Snippet
I still use Sublime when I’m not using VS Code. This isn’t the best idea but I do it anyway. One of the things I like about both programs is being able to create little shortcuts to create code I write a lot. It speeds things up and makes me more consistent. Both programs let […]

OpenAI API persona builder example
This takes the previous persona builder and shows it working with the OpenAI LTI. I’ve spent about 50 cents in testing so far over three days. That’s using the ChatGPT 4 model. Pricing is based on tokens which loosely equate to computing cycles. There are different rates for different models. I think this would be […]
Javascript voice to text and text to voice
I took some of the Mozilla example code and tweaked it a tiny bit. Pretty crazy what you can do now with voice in the browser. The example below should let you record you voice to text and then have it speak that text back to you. See the Pen speech stuff by Tom (@twwoodward) […]
ChatGPT Prompt Generator for Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions Theory
I’m working with a faculty member who wanted an AI persona for practicing difficult workplace conversations. The end goal is audio interaction and maybe a visual representation. I try to approach projects like these in stages. Can I build the stages out so that if we hit a wall, the stuff we’ve built to that […]

Two quick Photoshop techniques
Nothing fancy here, but I was really impressed by the new AI background option in Photoshop. I also note how I’m using the layer stroke option to make fancy text. Serious PS people will not be impressed. The bonus is seeing the crazy tree house that Middlebury had back in the early 1970s. […]
WordPress CSV import to custom post type and taxonomies
Ever since Google Sheets killed the native JSON feeds, a number of projects of mine have broken and been left adrift. One of those projects was my activities list for conferences and various things like that. On Tuesday, we were asked to revisit our work profiles. One of the requested items was “Relevant publications, presentations, […]

Change WordPress slug on title change
I’m trying to post smaller pieces of code as they come up to better document things for myself and maybe it’ll end up helpful for others. So these things aren’t terribly exciting and may, in fact, be boring. The Context I set up a custom post type named “Cards” and another custom post type named […]
