"The ultimate experience in grueling cuteness"

Another weird dream, Bud was lost (subconscious fear discovered) and trying to find him I kept picking up orange cats. And each one "too light too light, not heavy enough, it's not him" Plus side, if you dream until you wake up it means you sleep better!

Finally got my Last Jedi review parts to upload. Part 3 today and 4 tomorrow. Yeah ancient subject yeah millions of videos about it already but I really feel I touch on aspects others didn't.

Livestream tonight of new Evil Dead code with 2 new modes! Also they are giving away a FREE Ultraman pinball machine. 7pm central US time. youtube.com/@bugsscreamnst…

Might work on my film scanner more today. It's all about code now (mechanically it's done and on my Github) Maybe split into two apps, one for high quality raw sensor negative scanning, other for faster old color film scanning. Close... Ish.

OK weeds. You've earned a reprieve from spraying since it's so hot. Working on scanner code again. Gonna make 2 modes. 4k video for existing color film, and a raw sensor data mode with 16-bit color for new negative scanning.

The purpose of war is to wage it. Every bomb that goes off in Gaza or Iran contributes to the US GDP. Which will be officially in recession next month so.... War! I still maintain Trump is deep state. Reprogram the left and now he's betraying the right.

Ugh. When you spend 5 hours trying to improve your code and realize your prior solution was best (using still mode to avoid smearing) Big issue is 3 separate systems (Pi, camera and Marlin board) so you have to account for gaps = slower overall.

Need a few add-ons for the 7" reels but code-wise it seems good with the external SSD. The light blinks when it saves so you can see the Linux caching happen (saves to RAM then disk) Had to reduce current on take up motor.

Think I'll arrange clean this office while this test runs. Here are 3 protoa for Gamebadge 4. Probably should slot this into "Personal Work Coding Priority 1" once the scanner code is done.

Using this can as a large reel tensioner that I didn't design. Man, look at all that dust! Maybe I should add a wiper here too.

Gonna save this still for next dentist visit so I can say, unironically "I blame my parents!" Been keeping it to one can a day after kidney stone, which is easy considering how badly Pepsi and Coke are price gouging. Greed that would make GM blush.

Watched the new Beetlejuice movie. Was OK. Fairly pointless. Why was Monica Belluci in it? Will say this though - at least it was a NORMAL LENGTH MOVIE. Don't think this is given enough consideration as to why people goto movies less now.

Been too hot to let Bud on the back porch. The orange male cat work from home war wages daily 10am-noon then he settles down.

Eventually I will make a 2nd Bud music video. Probably "Kirsten Dunst Eyes" see I even made the thumbnail already. Though I do feel like I've gone past a halfway point of "bucket list items" and "time left"
