A detailed photograph of the nearly full Moon centered against a deep black night sky. The lunar surface shows sharp crater detail, bright ejecta rays, and darker maria regions, with the Moon isolated in the frame and surrounded by empty space.

Screenshot of a desktop application window titled “Video Container Title Cleaner v0.2.0.” The interface has a light gray background with rounded white panels. At the top left, a large bold heading reads “Video Container Title Cleaner.” Below it, a description states: “Drop video files or folders to scan recursively, inspect container title metadata, and remove container titles in bulk.” On the top right are two buttons: a gray “Support” button and a yellow “Buy Me a Coffee” button.

In the main section, a dashed rectangular drop zone on the left says, “Drop videos or folders here” and beneath it, “or click to choose files/folders.” To the right are three buttons: a green “Inspect Titles,” a gray “Clear,” and a red “Remove Container Titles.” Below these buttons is a checkbox labeled “Hide videos with no detected container title,” and the status text “No files selected.”

The lower half of the window contains a large panel titled “Detected Container Title,” with “0 files” shown on the right side of the panel header. Inside the empty results area, centered text reads: “Drop files or folders, then click Inspect Titles.” The layout is clean and minimal, with clear visual grouping of controls and a large blank area intended for listing detected titles.

My latest #OpenSource project on #GitHub:

Video-Container-Title-Cleaner: Electron app to scan video files and remove container title metadata in-place (with recursive folder support).

Ha, I should probably read that chapter!

Just thinking back to my CS teaching days in high school, debugging is something I (most of us?) didn't pay much attention to.

That's not the goal. The goal is to have less people go to post-secondary. The dumber you can keep a society, the more likely they are to vote conservative.

A wide winter view of the American Falls at Niagara Falls, seen from the Canadian side, with thick ice formations and snow-covered rocks surrounding the cascading water. Frozen mist clings to the cliff edges and trees along the rim, while a bridge and mid-rise building appear in the distance under an overcast sky.

A black-and-white photograph of a forested ravine where a large tree clings to a rocky outcrop, its exposed roots twisting and gripping the stone. Bare branches fill the background, creating a dense lattice against the pale sky, while rough textures of bark, rock, and soil dominate the foreground. The composition emphasizes resilience and age through strong contrast and organic lines.

I have to admit I’m disappointed to read this. I invested because of Arlene’s integrity and yours, and because both of you endorsed this project and appeared committed to it. Had I known neither of you committed financially, I likely would not have invested. More detail would have been nice.

Tim, we could also address this in the upcoming ACSE Conference, or host a standalone webinar. OTF would be glad to promote it, I'm sure.

Black-and-white landscape photo of a leafless tree in the foreground, its branches spreading across the frame like a web against a cloudy sky. A dense line of bare trees and brush sits along the horizon, with a faint glimpse of water at the lower left, rendered in high-contrast tones and visible film-like grain.

Was tired of AI photo tools fixing images by changing faces & expressions, so I built a Custom GPT that edits photos w/o touching faces—straighten, fix perspective, remove clutter, adjust lighting. You approve first.

A high-contrast black-and-white photograph showing tall hotel towers rising above lower foreground buildings. The Embassy Suites tower dominates the left side, while the Skylon-style observation tower stands prominently to the right. Dramatic cloud patterns sweep across the sky, adding texture above the stark architectural forms.
