Fri Nov 1 06:00:01 EDT 2019 Slept from eleven to six without waking. Partly sunny. Highs in the lower 40s. Southwest winds 5 to 15 mph. Maybe a few tiny snow flakes fell this morning? Vacuumed. Work: - Lunch at Mexican place with coworkers Done. A mysterious benefactor left a wonder tatty raven (starling?) on my office door handle this morning. I made a triumphal tour of the office with him attached to my shoulder by a binder clip. Home: - Continue prepping Phandelver Done. - Play with Linux speech synthesis Done. Bought gas and a few groceries on my way home. ``` 🐚 falstaff /usr/local $ sudo apt install festival festvox-en1 festvox-kallpc16k festvox-kdlpc16k festvox-rablpc16k festvox-us-slt-hts 🐚 falstaff ~ $ festival festival> (SayText "Hello, world.
