The last walnut crusher before race day was the worst of all of them.  The apartment water went out at 3pm, at is often does, so the lion kingdom decided to go out & run without eating anything or wearing contacts.  Normally, there's 8oz of rice krispy treats before the run.

The relapsed ankle had recovered slightly, over 2 weeks of shorter runs interleaved with walks.  By mile 13, it was imperceptible.

Was hungry for the 1st 13 miles.  Started taking cliff blocks at mile 15.  Took 12 in total during the next 11 miles.  Wasn't feeling hungry anymore but found 9min to be extremely fast.  Hit the wall at mile 22 & started run/walking.  Decided to bail out at mile 26.  Abandoned the 28 mile route of long ago in order to have bailout options instead of spending the whole day out there.

Temperature started in the high 70's & finished in the mid 60s.  Was sweating quite a lot in the 1st half because of high humidity.

Ran out of electrolyte after 2 bottles.  Had a final 16oz without electrolyte. Started mild cramping by mile 24, but it might have been related to glucose.

Might have been behind on hydration because the apartment was out & was trying to stretch the electrolyte by not drinking as much.

So there it is, a year of training which might as well not have happened.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, after years of just enough grief but not enough to really think about it, the decision was made to start adding multicolored labels.  The lion kingdom's 1st label implementation supported text for each label.  This was too time consuming to ever use so young lion quickly abandoned it.  The problem continued to be the labels denoting a variety of features: cut points, play start, play stop, points of interest, or still frames.  A rare case might be background rendering regions.  They still needed a way to distinguish their purpose, but nothing as time consuming as text.

Multicolored labels could cover most needs & could fit in yet another dropdown menu, but they still might need a custom text for each color.  Fitting all that somewhere could be difficult. 

This opens up a new nest of problems, manely changing colors of existing labels or regions of labels.  A complementary function for "clear labels" called "change label color" could exist.  The user could just toggle a single label off & on in the new color.  The label graphic needs to be custom chroma keyed in all the colors, creating a 5x16 matrix.

The label down & label selected icons were always different colors.  Label down could go back to the highlight color.  Label selected might need a crosshatch or bold outline.  Computing the replacement colors would have to be procedural & specific to each theme.

    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...

  The lunar eclipse situation. Diced tomato spagetti 2.  Plain noodles shining through the diced tomatos, meatballs, oregano, pepper, & cheese still has what it takes.  It's better than watered down sauces with tiny bits of meat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again pondered if the S & P is another Nikkei 225. The nikkei is back where it last collapsed, 40 years ago, with a similar rate of increase in the last 25% but slower in the preceding years.  Maybe the index fund play has worn out or maybe it hasn't. Both the S&P & the Nikkei doubled in the last 5 years.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 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 ...
