Repairing Earpad on M98 Headset
Symptoms: The earpad came off. The rubber peeled off, and a lot of facial oil was in the earpiece. The foam part slipped off, and underneath, there was a lock ring, which holds the earpad onto the earpiece. Explanation: the plastic band that held the foam part onto the lock ring, by making the edge…

DIY Dustpan or Daspan
This is the best DIY dustpan video so far. He makes it from a canister, and cuts the canister in a way that will take advantage of the bends and corners already molded into the canister. He uses wood for the handle, and attaches it with screws; I hope he’s using washers. The design is…

Claude-Assisted WordPress Plugin: Correction 7
Meta was barfing, so I turned to Claude, to help with something I’ve never been good at: Gutenberg Blocks. I asked it to make a block that writes the shortcode. I guess it did exactly that, but that’s not really what I wanted! The code it produced almost worked. It was intended for a flat…

WordPress Plugin: Corrections 6
I gave Meta AI a break, because I had to do most of the refactoring and debugging by hand. I lost track of time, but I’m guessing it was 4 or 5 hours work, because I had a typo that screwed me up for at least an hour.

Normally, it’s easy to figure out the situation, but I couldn’t find docs to get my Regolith + i3xrocks working right. So here’s what I’m doing. First, create .config/regolith3/i3xrocks/conf.d Then, copy…

Meta-Assited WordPress Plugin: Corrections 4
I decided to drop into Meta AI to see how it did with this code. Unfortunately, it took a couple hours, and the code wasn’t as good as Gemini.

Gemini-Assisted WordPress Plugin: Corrections 3
So, I decided to beautify the code, and the tool told me there were a lot of errors and problems, so I spent today trying to fix those. Start time: 2:37, end time: 4:50. I still had problems, but… Some of the errors were not errors. Some of the errors, when fixed, caused minor bugs.…

Gemini-Assisted WordPress Plugin: Corrections 2
This continues the work in the post Gemini-Assisted WordPress Plugin: Corrections. We complete the admin by linking the ID to the post, fixing the Delete feature, adding a CAPTCHA and a settings screen.

Gemini-Assisted WordPress Plugin: Corrections 1
I sat down with Google Gemini to try and write a WordPress plugin to allow site visitors to suggest spelling corrections or other corrections. The TL;DR: it helped a lot, but started to make errors that were hard (for me) to solve shortly after starting. As the plugin got more complex, the help it offered…
