JULY 2023 Project Report Music, No Commentary

This month, I finished the pod-staging animation. I also needed to re-render the rest of the sequence to incorporate repairs I made to the set file (it had been missing a large texture file).

Started work on repairing the Western Kazakhstan Railway set and the exterior shot of the train that it is used for (S1E01-TR2).

Upgraded Inkscape 1.3, which includes a new feature I've been asking for for years: a method to organize installed fonts. This version now incorporates "Font Categories", which is a folder system in the font menus. I proceeded to sort my fonts using it. This is going to be a big time-saver!

During an internet outage, I decided I really should have a way to write, preferably in Markdown format, without needing to be online. I can, of course use Kate (text editor) for this, but I'd like to see the formatted output while I'm working on it (not necessarily WYSIWYG -- a preview window is fine).

So far, all the easy-to-install options on Debian/Ubuntu have trouble formatting real Markdown files in my collection, so I don't know if I've found a good option yet (it's also possible that my Markdown files are non-standard).

Installed outlets and a light on my workbench. Put a new thermometer and hygrometer in the studio server closet.
