  • Automatically Syncing Captions on YouTube Videos

    So you just published your conference talk videos on YouTube, and you want to add captions. YouTube will use speech to text and try to add their own captions for you, but it's pretty hit or miss, especially for technical talks where there's a lot of proper nouns or jargon in the talk. The good news is there's a much better solution, and one that provides benefits to your in-person audience as well!

  • Disappointed that Ghost created a custom posting API instead of adopting Micropub, which is a W3C recommendation. It’s okay to have Ghost-only APIs as long as you start with standards as a baseline. Now we have fragmented client apps.

    I just saw that too :-( I understand that Micropub doesn't cover 100% of their use cases, but it would have been a great opportunity to improve the spec to cover more ground too!

    I realized I was setting arbitrary due dates on my todo list as a way to prioritize tasks so they'd show up in order of importance, but it turns out that's a terrible technique.

    I just did a major refactoring of my Todoist and now I'm using priority 1/2/3 tags for that, and due dates only when a task is really due that day.

    I'm still figuring out exactly how to use the priorities, here's what I've got so far:

    • p1 - this is top priority, I should do things in this list as soon as possible
    • p2 - things that I want top of mind, but can wait until things in p1 are done
    • p3 - sort of a catch-all when I want something to bubble up a bit quicker than if it has no priority tag

    I also switched my main view in Todoist to a custom filter that shows me:

    • tasks due today
    • priority 1 tasks not due today
    • overdue tasks

    I'm going to try to stick to this view as my primary view instead of clicking on the "Today" tab.

    @aaronpk the todoist custom filter views are super useful. the default "this week" view in todoist shows me saturday and sunday so I added a custom filter view that just did m-f and that helped a lot in organizing things

    @aaronpk This addresses something I have been struggling with for quite a while! Do you refrain from adding priority to tasks that are due on a particular day, or do you still add priority?

    Aaron Parecki
    We'll see how it pans out, but right now I don't think I will add a priority when there's a due date since the combined dashboard view gives me a list of both due dates and prioritized tasks.

    @aaronpk @cygnoir I’d be very interested in how you differentiate p1 from p2 and p3! I’ve never had a solid rubric for that.

    Aaron Parecki
    Right now p1 is the only one I feel strongly about. I'll see if I keep using p2 and p3 as I described.

    @aaronpk I like your custom filter, but I think I have to expand the due-date horizon slightly, since even when something is due today I often need a day or two to do the work to complete it.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah good point! I've been looking at the week view up until now so I'll probably expand the filter to maybe 3-5 days.

    @aaronpk Yeah, what I’ve settled on for tasks in OmniFocus is three binary axes: priority/not-priority, due/not-due, up-next/backlog. So far so good. 👍

    Aaron Parecki
    Interesting. What's the difference between priority/not-priority and up-next/backlog?

    @aaronpk The short answer is that priority is for projects and up-next is for administrivia. So, for example, when I do a weekly review, I’ll prioritize working on three projects for the coming week, and I’ll add a next tag to a few tasks on single action lists (e.g. “drop off the rent cheque”, “make haircut appointment”, “clean the barbecue”).

    The long answer is that I should write a blog post. 😅

    Please do! That sounds really interesting.

    @robothive Hi Rob - it definitely makes it seem possible that I could support it, which is a big step forward from before. Still a lot of work and I'm not sure how big the audience is. Will add it to my list to consider!

    Aaron Parecki
    This is exactly why we need common open standards. We shouldn't need every service and every app developer to have to make these decisions about whether to support each other on a case-by-case basis.

    Using open standards means app developers can implement once and work with all servers that support the standard.
