First thing off to FOPAL. Did the post-sale triage, looking at every book on my shelves, and sending the ones that had been exposed in 3 sales, to the bargain room. And rather aggressively marking down the prices of those that had been up for one sale. Got back in time for lunch.
After lunch I did some more work with automatic titling of music videos. I had complained to one site about how it cut off after the first two lines of a song. They politely pointed out that I missed a setting. I can set the app to look for specifically “English (Sung lyrics)”. When I did that, it worked pretty well, capturing all the lyrics and getting about 90% accuracy on the words.
I had it save the result in an SRT file. Then I opened the video in Davinci Resolve, and imported the SRT file and like magic, my timeline was populated with subtitles. I still had to read them, correct a handful of errors, and split some long titles into two shorter titles. But it was at least somewhat faster than entering the titles manually.
Then I met with our Channing House new Fitness Director, Kris. Kris is a very nice, affable, helpful guy, something of a giant physically, ex-marine but with a great manner dealing with us old folks. This was to get me set with a fitness routine using the machines in our gym, one I can work on my own time. He walked me through a set of exercises and promised to send me an email with pictures and numbers.
Then went out for a mile walk around downtown.
