So either the volume text is decreasing a bit, like twice as fast, too rapidly, for me, or something else is happening It's probably exactly twice as fast, I was using percentage units to position the numbers which can sometimes have issues when used as vertical lengths. This seems such a case where it's calculating based on the width instead, since the image is exactly twice as wide as it is tall — that would make the numbers scroll twice as fast. I've updated my previous post, it should be fixed now. It’s fixed!

Started another build on a whim because I wanted to replace the neck on the 6 lb baked-Ash S-type with a Wenge neck & FB and SS frets to hopefully reduce the midrnge. I found a nice one for a very good price on Etsy with one thin coat of Poly (Wenge smells bad if not sealed, and it's a rather hazardous wood). It's as hard as Gaboon Ebony, but lighter weight due to the large pores and alternating grain structure that leaves a lot of internal space. Some Luthiers say it sounds like Brazilian RW, which is like Pau Ferro. Brighter than Indian RW, but not as bright as Ebony. It turned out the neck pocket on the Ash body is a tad too wide. Maybe US vs Asian spec, so I mounted it on the scorched 2-piece Austrian Pine body (with my special Lexan bracket design) I couldn't resist getting on Etsy. The guitar weighs 7.5 lbs and is a hardtail. Thinking of staining it blue and amber b4 Tru-Oil, but it looks nice as is with the wooden pickguard. Total cost will be ~$600: drive.google.com/drive/folders/10AQld_ew6Du73DzQKL2LGMzizmz_RH-W?usp=sharingThose are the Wilde Micro-Coils I love so much. The original Schecter Nick Johnson guitar had a Wenge neck with SS frets. Has a bright attack with a mid bloom that Maple doesn't. Gonna mount my mid-dipped Wilde L200 set in the Ash guitar with the Maple/Ebony neck. Will see how it compares to my recordings with the MC's in it.

so this is where my bench is gonna be, L-shaped 7' on the close side, 6' on the far side. gotta find a piece of richlite/masonite/etc. can never have enough outlets so there are 14 total not including the 2 for the tv or 4 switched outlets for lights was waiting for a guy to drop off his 70s marshall jmp for repair so i got a large portion of the insulation in my dad's helping me put up the ceiling sometime next week, then it's a ton of drywall work on the walls (leaving the blocking boards and outlet wiring for the closest wall out until i bring a billion sheets of drywall through)

thetragichero, your first pick shows all the outlet-wires, but no outlets. You probably have already thought this through, but I want to recommend, maybe even just temporarily, installing outlets in each outlet hole; then test each outlet’s wiring BEFORE installing drywall. That way you avoid having to potentially mutilate expensive drywall to fix faulty wiring. And, in the fixing mutilated drywall process, your new drywall would need to turn that 90° path through your door openings. My uncle taught me this. To me, wires have fun when they’re pulled behind walls; sometimes a bit TOO much fun; they can easily perish in the installation process.

no outlets until drywall is finished and painted. that's a whole heck of a lot of work installing and removing outlets for little benefit with brand new romex used throughout (if the 12awg power and 14awg lighting solid copper is somehow broken inside there are much bigger problems afoot). only wires i'm mildly concerned about breaking are the installation-grade microphone cables, but that's one of the reason those are in conduit
power isn't even hooked up out there, i'll be running my airless sprayer off a generator to get paint up there

brand new romex used throughout thetragichero is lucky he lives in an area where the building codes allow the use of Romex. There are still some places in the U.S. which require everything to be run through conduit. That about three times the amount of work . . .

technically, not sure what the building code allows. but it's a house built in 1864 (although the main panel in the basement is a modern 200a panel) with the previous garage wiring being cloth-covered with no safety ground (apparently cloth-covered wire is almost uninsurable down in florida... one of the reasons we got screwed selling the house down there). previous owner left two unused ground rods in the garage that i'll be sinking anyway as is/should be required for a separate 60a sub panel. so anything i'm doing is safer than what was there before
the dimensional lumber that was originally used to frame the garage is actually 2" by 4" with square corners

I believe my uncle told me a story about how he had installed quality wire when building one of his first houses. The wire went in untested bc it was quality. And then, after the walls had been finished and painted, he discovered one of the wire lines wasn’t complete. He had to destroy the painted wall, at least one of them, and run a new line of wire. Therefore, he said that testing each outlet before completing the walls is wise. I guess some wire can be produced with flaws. Honestly, no company is perfect. thetragichero, I’ll pray for success with your wiring.

They built a garage in 1864? So, your house must have the original garage! They were like, “We’ll build this extra room on the side of the house… and call it a ‘garage’.”

I have thought of a way I could do reciprocal motion with SMIL without doubling up the plot data (though it will still require an increased file size, but by how much I don't yet know), however it could potentially be quite flickery. Okay, newey, unreg, et al. let me know if the below works fine. I've had to restructure the file somewhat in order to get this down to a reasonable file size — when I started it was more than double the size now it's only about 4% (47kB) larger than the previous version. I could keep going, but at this point any optimisations would apply to both files and give diminishing returns. Edit: image removed, see updates in following posts... The approach I'm using is to have 202 separate animations: 101 for the percentage text, and a further 101 for the traces. For the percentages, the first animation (which I've given an id of "a0") unhides the text "100%" and is triggered to begin at 0s (when the page loads) and at 19.9s after this animation finishes (each animation has a duration of 0.1s, 99% to 0% back to 99% is 199 'frames'). This sets up a loop where this animation will cycle every 20s. The other animations have (two) triggers calculated relative to the end of this animation (one for the downwards cycle, one for the upwards cycle), and thus also loop. For example: the animation for "99%" is triggered at the end of "a0" plus 0s and plus a further 19.8s after that point (i.e. immediately after, and before, "100%" is shown). The graph's traces are unhidden in a similar way and have been grouped into 'frames' to avoid needing separate animations for each of the 22 individual paths. These are triggered from the beginning of the animation for the corresponding percentage text, in order to avoid duplicating the timing calculations. A disadvantage with this method is that everything that is animated is hidden by default. This means that — whereas previously if one were to view the file as a static image (e.g. Windows Explorer thumbnail), you would see the first 'frame' of the animation — now you instead see a blank graph.

That works just fine, Yogi B! The animation really helps one "see" what happens as the pot is turned down.

Ummm… no it doesn’t work fine for me. It’s smeared… too a screenshot… will upload it later. And the animation eventually pauses at 100%… maybe forever… unsmeared. At least it paused at 100% after I took my screenshot and resized it appropriately EDIT: I’m not saying your image has gained a smearing ability; rather, it’s successfully descending to 0% and then rising back to 100% (repeating that process until I minimize my firefox?) and all the animation frames are drawn; it’s just never erasing the screen, so animation frame 2 is drawn on top of frame 1; that’s why it appears to be smearing. Will post screenshot I took later today. Ooh, and the percentages are displayed correctly… so it IS erasing that small part of the image. FINAL-EDIT: Hmmm, it stopped at 100% unsmeared now, and I haven’t minimized FireFox.

[FINAL-EDIT]On that second pic: the volume level is near the bottom of its first increase; it’s at 19%[/FINAL-EDIT] Err… actually, it must have been starting there bc it takes me a short while to scroll to your animation pictured in this thread. Just watched your animation inside the recent posts thread and it started from 100% and smeared appropriately. So please ignore my quoted mistaken declaration of a fake problem your animation doesn’t have. Otherwise, is it possible to make your animation start when it is visible on screen; instead of when it is loaded? Or maybe that’s a function controlled by my Firefox… will look at options.

EDIT: I’m not saying your image has gained a smearing ability; rather, it’s successfully descending to 0% and then rising back to 100% (repeating that process until I minimize my firefox?) and all the animation frames are drawn; it’s just never erasing the screen, so animation frame 2 is drawn on top of frame 1; that’s why it appears to be smearing. Sigh, ok, actually not all of your animation’s frames are permanently drawn bc I can see the ‘bar’ moving up and down after maybe half of the frames are drawn. Wrote “maybe half” bc even though the screen is filled, the ‘bar’ visibly passes over the blank spots. And, it’s not the even or odd frames only being drawn; there are large permanent empty spaces especially at the top and bottom. And, now, at least, your animation starts when it’s visible on my screen. Then when it leaves the screen, your animation is reset. And it takes maybe 3 to 5 seconds to restart; is vacant of the ‘bars’ during this short time. It’s still smearing, for iOS FireFox, though.

Ooh, and the percentages are displayed correctly… Based on this I'll update the plots to toggle visibility rather than opacity. Originally I used opacity for both because it's shorter, both the attribute name itself and the accepted values "0" & "1", rather than "hidden" & "visible", but I found that Firefox appears to ignore the setting of opacity when used on text. Since the percentages function correctly using this method, hopefully the plots will too. Edit: I've now updated the previous post. Otherwise, is it possible to make your animation start when it is visible on screen; instead of when it is loaded? AFAIK this isn't possible, at least it is not possible without support via JavaScript — alternatively embedding the SVG as an object (rather than an image) would allow beginning the animation when the image was clicked (and possibly open the door to more advanced interactivity), however this isn't something that BBCode supports.

That was great problem solving, but the update didn’t affect the animation. Still smears. Otherwise, is it possible to make your animation start when it is visible on screen; instead of when it is loaded?

Hmmm… well this option isn’t in Firefox’es settings. But, regardless, now I remember making a change to my iOS Settings that caused video/animations to pause when off screen and restart when back on the screen. I tried finding this in Settings app again to shut that feature off, to see if that changes the smearing of your animation; but, couldn’t find that tonight. That Settings option fully works… I just didn’t remember I had enabled that… thus my previous confusion.

What was I workin' on yesterday: setting up mac VMs. Ummm… no it doesn’t work fine for me. It’s smeared… So after some testing this isn't just an iOS issue, the "smearing" is also present in Safari on macOS too. I've tried the latest animation in the versions of Safari which I can: 5.1.7 (running on Windows), 9.0, 13.1.3 & 15.6.1 (the last three running on macOS in a VM: El Capitan, Catalina & Monterey respectively). Guess in which one the animation works flawlessly... Yep, it's the one that's now a decade old and not running on its primary platform. At least now I can test it myself, but I think I'm running out of options to explore — there's only two more approaches I can think of: collapsing the two separate sets of animations into one (apparently WebKit may have issues trying to simultaneously begin two animations); alternatively, I could try transitioning back to CSS animations — this time using the show/hide approach, rather than manipulating the path data. And, perhaps, a combination of both.

Can quit searching for how I got videos to reset when off-screen. That’s interesting how it works perfectly in an ancient VM+macOS; updated to the new iOS 16.0 yesterday and obviously the smearing still exists. But, the smearing happens in a more uniform manner now… there’s not much blank space, except at the bottom; the total movement can still be seen by watching the small green part change.

This is the latest version: That’s interesting how it works perfectly in an ancient VM+macOS I meant the ancient Windows port of Safari, I might have a VM that goes back that far with a similar version of Safari — but if so, not on a drive that's currently plugged in. (Though that would mainly just be out of curiosity, to see if simultaneous animations ever worked on a 'proper' version of Safari.)

yesterday my dad helped me put up drywall on the ceiling (definitely a two person job). today i picked up 35 sheets of drywall and some 3/4" osb for the top. moved everything into the garage, put insulation in the ceiling, screwed down most of the osb (and my remaining sheet of plywood leftover from the subfloor) on the top. still have to do about 18" all along the back but the bulk of my above-studio storage is ready. screwed up one sheet of drywall and promptly left to try to beat the sunset on these poorly-lit country roads. almost made it home before dark
