Basically yes. There a couple that wouldn't let me answer them without using letters and numbers to do it. Very strange thing to do, since this form said that they don't keep the info longer than 5 months.

I know I saw it. But I couldn't tell you a damn thing about it today. I think I remember a battle scene with a billion CGI robots at the end or something? I saw the first one too and I don't remember anything about that either. Didn't bother seeing the last two, but I heard they were alright.

The "from what I could tell" part made me giggle though.

Seems you're having seasonal rainfall. I hope it gets to the interior, and means fewer fires for fire season.

Down here we're expecting another 1/2" of rain. At this rate, we'll accumulate a whopping 4" for the season. It's a good thing we had two good water seasons back to back before, our aquifers are all charged up. But nature is going to suffer. More fires in our future.

*****

I did manage two days of yardwork, but kitchen work and housework are piling up. Ginna try and get a jump start on indoor work, maybe I can eke out a half hour or so in the yard.

Tomorrow also a good day, Monday hubby has an appt and they will dilate his pupils so gonna go with him. Rain might start on Tuesday, altho if this is like most predicted storms it will arrive later than expected. Wednesday for sure gonna rain, so my legs and back will get a break. On with the day!

Weather is not too bad around here now. Actually, I think I heard it's going to hit 50 degrees tomorrow, and it feels pretty nice today. Looks like if things don't change, the rest of the winter shouldn't be much of a struggle. Pretty expensive gas/electric bill last month though, although I did have my heat on 67 all winter, which is 9 degrees higher than I had it 2 years ago. Not the highest bill I've ever had, but only because the price of natural gas has come down from those peaks. This would have easily been a $350 bill in the winter of 2022.



Finally broke down and did some code learning yesterday. I've always known how powerful metadata tags could be, but until now I've only limited myself to what other people allow with them in their programs.

For example, if you want to really have power over your music library, you can use a free program called mp3tag to somewhat easily change tags in your entire library at once, in a big graph format. It allows for bulk renaming as well as just individually clicking on a tag for a song on the graph and changing it. You still have to put quite a bit of effort into setting these things up, but you end up with a collection of files that are far more useful than just sorting by file name.

But if I was working on something else with tags, I either had to find a similar program for a different kind of file, which in any case has never been as robust and useful as the mp3tag program, or I just had to abandon the use of them since I didn't have any control over them.

Then I found a program called exiftool. The easiest way to explain what it is, is to say it's a plugin for the faux DOS in Windows 10 that allows an entirely new library of commands to use in Command Prompt, all relating to metadata tags on pretty much any file that uses them. Now the only thing holding me back from having complete control over them is my lack of coding skills.

I've hit a couple of walls with it, but I've been able to break through all of them eventually after some more research and trial by error. I got stuck on a pretty tricky issue last night, but I solved it pretty soon after getting a good night's rest this morning. The worst part was when something didn't work like it was supposed to and I thought I destroyed around 300 files I'd have to rebuild from scratch, which would require a ton of extra work with all the steps involved to build them back up to where they were, but I was able to manage to figure that one out too and we're back on track again.

I've already managed to automate a process that can edit several hundred things at one time once I've set the parameters I want. I was doing all of that by hand up until yesterday morning. Initially, the only reason I went down this rabbit hole was to resolve that issue. After getting several thousand files to a certain state, I realized I wanted to make a minor change to all of them, but because that change was in the "generic" tag section that has tons of variables, I couldn't figure out a good way to do it with the options on the 2 free programs I have. My only option was to basically start from scratch after burning about a day's worth of work, or figuring out how to automate that fix.

I automated that fix, but I found out there were two other improvements I could now easily make, that I wasn't going to make before because it would mean doing the same thing several thousand times, two times over by hand.

Though there's still plenty of jank in the process since I have to move this whole setup from sub-folder to sub-folder and run it, but that's mostly because I still don't trust it not to screw things up if I let it go wild. I could probably further code this to handle everything I throw at it at once, but if I was wrong about it and didn't back up 20GB worth of stuff before I ran it, that could be a disaster that loses days of work.


So far so good though. One fix that saved me a dozen hours of mindless tedium and it only cost me 2 or 3 hours to research and test out. And if I ever come back to this work it's going to be an extremely useful tool in my kit going forward. And just the fact that I was able to make those two other upgrades to the experience which I was going to abandon outright because of the 50 or so additional hours of mindless tedium it would require is awesome.

Thanks.

Yeah... It's working out really well now.

I actually have some ideas about how to create a tool or two of my own based off of this to give it away to other people who may take this whole thing further. (Fingers crossed)

That's actually how I came upon this tool in the first place, so I think it's on me to pay it forward. I just randomly stumbled upon some tech-help blog I'd never heard of before and somebody had used this program inside of a folder structure he created with a few random batch files to process metadata tags on PDF files at his office.

I guess they worked with PDF files so much there that he wanted to create something that was so easy anybody at his office could use it without bothering him with questions. He didn't say where he worked, but I kind of gleaned it was a lawfirm.

I'll do good with those powers rather than whatever evil they were getting up to at the old law office.




That's how I do my coding. I'm no good creating something from a blank page, but once I have something that does a thing close to what I want it to do, I can beat the hell out of that code until I shape it into what I'm looking for.

There's been pretty good snowfall up the Interior this winter, so hopefully fire season will start later. This time last year there were already fires burning in BC.

It hit 50 for a few days here and that was nice. Getting colder again tonight but not horrible. Looks like it will hit 9 degrees on Saturday night, but if nothing changes that's the coldest point in time for the rest of the season here.

Done for the day here too, finally. Very late dinner, was still cooking it @ 21:30. Did a weekly menu and grocery list, all the daily (b'fast prep, dog walking, doing things with dear daughter, dishes, tidying up etc.) and even managed some yardwork. Hence late dinner.

Dog seems to be getting better altho I'm not sure whether it's the Pepcid, potassium, or Valium but I've been able to reduce meds.

Gonna be drizzling the next two days, so I could put my yardwork clothes away and have a nice long shower. Rinsed my nose with meds, brushed my teeth, and hopped into a nice clean bed.

Hitting another major milestone on my project tonight.

I ended up having to do a lot more work by hand than I wanted to, and I also ended up adding several new bits of functionality as I went along, which did require going back to the beginning several times to ensure everything was up to any new standard I created. All of these things are going to be great for the end user, and go far above and beyond what the initial scope of the work was meant to be, but admittedly they will make keeping everything in the future up to the same standard quite a bit more of a chore for anyone involved unless we can find some good coders to come in and automate things with my prototype out there to be the basis for the code.

The few people involved on the periphery have gotten glimpses and they're drooling right now wanting to get their hands on it. I'm about to finish some semi-final core stuff and let them have a test drive to kick around and tell me about any issues they find that I missed. It's going to be pretty damn close to perfect as-is, but there's always a weed that needs pulling here or there.

Yeah. Wasn't sure if I'd get it to where it needed to be tonight or not, but it looks like I will. I'm just running a few basic checks that will require a bit of time and my full attention, but I'll be done with it for sure early on tomorrow if I don't call it a night before it's ready.

There's other things that still need doing, but I'm going to be very careful about adding the last puzzle pieces in and I'm not worried about them not seeing that stuff until it's too late to have extra eyes on things. 99.9% of what could have bugs or typos will be out there for them to beat up while I'm wrapping up the rest of it. I know at least one of them is as detail oriented as I am, so I'd be really surprised if he doesn't come up with anything for me to fix the time I'm finished.

We got almost 1 1/4" last week. So that's our total for the rainy season so far.

We would have to get an inch of rain every week for the rest of the rainy season to be at about half of our normal rainfall, it's been that bad.

I'm still struggling to get my rear in gear. All of that energy I had when steroids were higher just poof! Evaporated. Doing my best to carry on.

It still hasn't made it out the door for testing. Not for lack of trying. Adding bits to it piecemeal after the fact is a fairly laborious process that I should have saw coming, at least until a lot of this can be automated anyhow. My underestimation of how much work I needed to do to add things after the fact got me in trouble.

I actually made a pretty big error by missing one single step the other day. Nothing I couldn't fix, but when I did "fix" it, I realized that I only fixed something down the chain that wouldn't need fixing had it been fixed earlier up the chain, so I had to go back and re-do a bunch of work I shouldn't have had to do twice to fix it right.

It's fine. He was out of town for the weekend anyhow, and I'm the one putting a time frame on everything. Me not getting a prototype to him isn't going to slow down what he's doing at all.


I've got another fairly big tweak that I'm doing today that I skipped a long time ago just because I didn't think I'd have time, but I do. It's only going to put me back another day or two now. I would have saved half that time if this was part of the plan 2 months ago, but it's worth it so I'll just do it now.

Man... Wish I could go into more detail about the project here....

A contact I made briefly last year had teased that they may have been in possession of something that has been a bit of a holy grail for the better part of 2 decades. They did mention that they were super busy for the holidays and it would take some time, and true to their word I didn't hear back from them again for about 5 or 6 weeks.

So I figured I would write them and ask how their holidays were and if there was any luck with it yet. No luck yet, and they were having family in town for the Superb Owl, but they would try to look harder for it this week.

So, me usually being the Expect Nothing and You Won't be Disappointed type, I never really took this seriously. They did seem genuine though, and that alone was enough for me to mention this possibility to a few other people over the last few months, but we all pretty much agreed that we'd be getting our hopes up over nothing and shouldn't think about it much...



I open up my email today....

I'll be damned. He has it.

I hope your TV is bigger than mine. It probably is.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Here's hoping the Wesley Snipes Blade cameo is as good as I imagine it was.

Think I forgot about a Blade cameo. I hope so too then.

My tv for its time was considered a "flat screen". My mom bought in the 1990s, if I remember rightly.
