The logic for this video timestamp sync to the transcript clock time has been fun to figure out. Uses chapter markers and times in transcript to estimate pre-roll. I’m grabbing audio snippets from YT, run through Whisper to get match to transcript text for final offset calc.

added a new tool to the local data toolbox—scraping property appraiser data 👀

Fixed?

One more reply test for the night.

I don’t like the whole eggs in one basket but the potential of using Cloudflare infra (Pages, Workers, D1, R2 and Zero Trust) to build dynamic web apps is my kind of playground.

So that’s awesome. My idea of using Cloudflare Zero Trust for a custom admin for a static site worked.

Currently exploring using 11ty to build a single page admin/posting interface wired up to a Cloudflare Worker. Protected using Cloudflare Access. Netlify’s Idenyity is deprecated, everything I’ve looked at requires GitHub account for auth.

Let it be known this homegrown Florida boy is not doing well with this cold weather. A week of this might kill me.

Checking the weather before going out on the water tonight & the overnight low will be warmer than the high any day next week.
