Gootube made more money on this dog turd than Apple.  As long as apple can keep unveiling a new next big thing every 6 months, it doesn't matter if none of them amount to anything.  Like programming languages, quantity is overpowering quality.  Iteration is mother of necessity.

The lion kingdom hasn't had a lasting paw recovery in over a year.  It was really only 5 months from Oct - Feb when it was firing on all 35 raptors.  Given little chance of recovery by marathon day, the plan is a 12 minute pace with heel striking.  Heel striking seems to avoid the offending tendon. 5h15m was the lion kingdom's marathon time long before the paw failed.  There won't be any more speed work & all effort will be focused on increasing the 12 minute pace distance.

The end for most runners seems be an age where body parts stop regenerating.

 In recording transcendental etude #12, lions realized what a beast George Bolet was when he recorded all 12 in 1985, at age 70.   He played it 30 seconds faster & was a lot more accurate even if both recordings weren't perfect.  Younger lion would have tried to get longer takes with lots of reserve notes but ever since the stories of how Star Wars was made in the edit room with no frames to spare, old lion has settled on takes of only seconds with no notes to spare.  It's all about editing as part of the performance & making recordings you want to hear again instead of throw away.

There's a tradeoff in gootube land between expression & speed.  The faster & less expressive the video, the more views.

 


 

 

The last 20 minutes of takes weren't necessary. Lions have pondered how useful it would be to pause a recording, replay the last take, restart recording without creating a new file.  Early audio editors abstracted the recording from any file structure.  Nowadays, everything that records creates a new file when it resumes.

The bigger problem is when recording video, all the cameras would have to be restarted & resynced for every take.  Everything would have to continue recording silence during a replay.  There still isn't enough memory to record hours of silence.  It would take some heroic software to embed time code in the video, create an EDL with the video synchronized with the audio takes.

As mediocre as they are, there aren't many amateurs making recordings on lion level.  Most gootubers except for renowned pianists in heavily produced videos are all pretty bad.

 George Bolet lived only 75 years & died 20 miles from the lion kingdom in Oct 1990, just as lions were losing their minds.

The raspberry pi salute.  Aficionados of the shit networking on the 1-3 know this line well.

 What lions think is happening is index funds are earning interest on large treasury positions.  They're putting the interest into stonks to manetain a constant allocation.  It's not millennials pouring money in the stonk market expecting lower interest rates. High interest rates are pushing up stonks like the 90's.  Millennials are taking money out of the stonk market to buy houses & pay their mortgages.  Important reminder that lions would only barely get by & be fairly unhappy if they retired now, drained their savings to buy a house, & couldn't afford a lot of things they hoped to have.  Lions don't expect to have the coordination required to play it, when the time comes.  Maybe they could just play chords.  Would definitely have to learn how to tune it & regulate it. If lions didn't have to buy a house, things would be better. 40 years ago, bonds were called fixed income because the standard method was to use interest as a source of income i

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Anyways, the next idea was revising the GUI to get rid of the drop shadows, decorations.  The modern trend is flat colors, but the trends have to change every 6 months for these corporations to stay in business. 1 idea that looked good was an apply button in the file dialog which would allow loading files from a bunch of directories or picking 1 file at a time without closing the window.  The trick is most files require building an index.  The file dialog would have to be frozen during the load process or it would have to be locked out of loading again.  It would be a functional but unpleasant experience. The biggest win right now would be repositioning the plugins to the top when there isn't an asset. The lion kingdom considered applying to FUTO for a grant.  The problem is there are so many forks, so many animals who expect a cut even if their contribution never worked, so many animals who would expect a cut for a feature idea in the future which they may or may not ever creat
