 Nifty stills from disneyland in 1955.  

 

 

 


 

The iconic sleeping beauty castle of many movie intros, in an unfinished state.

 


Much less crowded 101.



Who knew bricks were fake.  It still cost $20M in those days.


 

 

 The 1 & only Ronald Reagan hosting the grand opening.

 

 

 

 The original mane st is still there.  Might be an interesting destination to see 1 of the few places still much as it was in 1955.  The place has undoubtedly been renovated many times.  Something as hastily built as the original wouldn't last long.

 


View down mane st, before it was seen by many. 

 


The original heart shaped complex has been long surrounded by a larger complex. The original river is still there.

 


 Tomorrowland was manely rebuilt.  The rocket was repositioned.  The 2 opposing V buildings are still there.  

The original craftsmen came from movie set jobs, all having pensions & houses.  Retirement age was 55-65 in those days.  The disney pension plan was dissolved in 2012.  They replaced it with a deferred compensation plan which isn't for life.  The outdoor manual labor would still be all men, nowadays.  There are women in less hazardous project management & shop roles.

Their series is pretty good at enticing a lion to pay a visit.  The fake castles are arguably more appealing than real castles, with actual large rooms.  Real castles are pretty cramped.  Of course, a large room means most of the exterior has to be non functional.  With 6 parks now & a 7th going in the UA of E, its more like a fast food chain.  4 of them are actually licensed by other corporations.

 On the other paw, listening to the modern cleansed Beauty & the beast soundtrack & living through the Last Jedi are big downers.

 Stick that in your mane & grow it.  Unattainable now.  The lion kingdom's raspberry pi 5 dates back to 2024.  There wasn't another big purchase in 2025.

 Unfortunately, the larger efficientdet model never was deterministic enough on the raspberry pi 5.  Indeed, it never even matched the small model on the pi 4.  It could have been the fisheye camera, the higher frame rate, or the training data.  Eventually, it was leaning on color histogram feature extraction more than the model.

 The pi4 model somehow got deleted.  It might be preferable to run a smaller model on the 5 with a lower power draw than it would have on the 4.

 RF has been seen as the final solution since then.  Some kind of mobile RTK GPS might work.  That solves everything but loses all indoor capability.  UWB testing in 2025 was a failure.  Machine vision is the ultimate in RF.  Straight line signals with no reflections.

 Onion sandwiches made a comeback after 35 years.  The 1st 4 were definitely better than the last 4.  That's the same as lions remember.

    It was time to take on the lion kingdom's 1st 1 star movie. It honestly wasn't as bad as the Dictator, Bedazzled, Monty Python.  Most of the hate was from comparing it to the classic.  Visuals were good for animals who are into castles.  Wonder Heroine as the villain was a good twist.  It was bat shit boring.  Tedious jobs like dialog writing are all automated now & that's definitely not as bad as other movies.  Automated 3D model generation has made modern visuals very lavish.  If only that level of detail could be done in realtime for VR goggles.    Zegler was back from her previous engagement in district 12.   The mane redeeming factor for lions was evil Wonder Heroine.     & finally the Joan of Arc scene everyone hated.    & the ending just fizzled.  It seems they're trying to depart from the physicality of past heroine warriors & make them more like housewives.  It's h...

 Finally tracked down the Sun bootloader font from many decades ago & put it in Cinelerra as gallant12x22.  Put Sun Gallant Demi into the goog to get useful results. https://github.com/dim13/gallant/tree/master/ttf   It's a fixed point font in an archaic format.  Some guy converted it into a TTF with a lot of antialiasing.  He has a PNG image showing no antialiasing.  It has to be set to size 22 & requires a threshold to get rid of the antialiasing.  Freetype might be shifting it 1/2 pixel vertically. It had a kind of curiosity value, but lions have had no need for any fixed point fonts besides the 24pt Sony of CAEDM fame. Another hit said it was 1 of the fonts available in kernel framebuffer mode.  Lions haven't used kernel framebuffer mode in decades.  It could possibly replace 24pt Sony if lions wrote a fixed point converter. As for the other Sun lore, there's some potato cam footage of the Sun flight simulator, Aviator.  You ...

   Amusing that Grok applied an IPv6 style pseudo header to the computation of an IPv4 ping packet, even though IPv4 doesn't use the pseudo header.       Another Grok error was in a basic TCP demonstrator.  To avoid a TIMED_WAIT on the server blocking the port, you have to exit the server without closing the socket.   These errors take a lot more time to track down than doing it the old way.  It might be fixed in paid versions of Grok. The solution to everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd Krispy Kreme run.  Always a satisfied mane after 6 miles.  Always a horrible bloating, after 13 miles.  Noted the half marathon times with mane feedings are on pace for the lion kingdom's best full marathon time.  Lions took a step down from their maximum power delivery in the shortest time when the leash enabled food breaks.  Before then...
