Mechanics

Starting to get the mechanics of animation with javafx.
Went back to GitHub for the code which would give acceptance
to Animated Image. One just enters the class definitiion as a new
class in the application package...


The code:




Progressively smaller rocket:


The result:

Yes, it is true that there is a facility in Wuhan for highly
dangerous pathogens; but nothing indicates either an accident or
a voluntary act in this case...

More controls

Made a copy of the controls from the animation tutorial. Need
to work up the code, next. Should I launch the little rocket!?


*     *     *

Been running the original code from 2015.

Here is what goes down as I press capital L or R or both:

Odd, I know. Will be trying a Github more recent version...




Insta

Lyse just joined Instagram yesterday; I'm actually
'following' her...

Lyse's graduation picture is up on her Facebook page this morning 
(UQAM, Communications). I couldn't be more proud and happy for her.
The ceremony is in May and I am looking forward t it.

As she commented to me yesterday. I DO look tired. Yup!

Congratulations, Sweets!

At It!

It had to be! Working on animating the little rocket...


Ended up using path code from online code, and substituted the
rocket for the original ball.

Ride isn't smooth because my keyframes are haphasard!!

Savory


I often pick up recipes from the Web thinking I'll make them in the future;
I rarely do. But today I stumbled on a recipe for a savory cake that seemed like
just the thing to cope with winter blues. Below: eggs, yogurt, cabbage, onion and
parsley. It turned out fine, and I had some with cheese and salad for dinner, with
a few Julienne fries thrown in.



Familiar ingredients, but seemed new anyway. 😏

                                                        *     *     *

So I pretty much followed the recipe, but omitted the garlic. I also
used red onion whose sweet taste is rather nice cold, for example
in Greek Salad. 

Am planning to put thin slices in the toaster, and have them with Maple Syrup
later this morning for breakfast.


Weird but nice! Like being in a sandwich and dessert loop...

Enhancements

Just discovered a very interesting feature of windows Media Player.
this is for playing videos: One can right-click on the MP screen
and ask for enhancements. One is then free to request various features.



The very last one - video settings - les one change the visual tonality of the
video.


Number two - the graphic euqlizer - lets one alter the sound.  Efectively,
one can change the volume of the audio by frequency bands, individually or in
groups. The human voice is the middle frequencies...
