[wow, I must be tired and distracted by the combination of a houseguest and a busy on-call week; I didn't even notice that I never reviewed the episode...]

This week, The Tale Of The Abandoned Rock-Lover Who Finally Found a Home. With occasional really goofy face distortions that look like CGI rotations without the middle bits. On the plus side, we get one of Our Gals into a bikini. On the minus side, it's Ruri, who's definitely girl-shaped, but no competition even for Gal Gal, much less Our Varsity Over-The-Shoulder-Boulder-Holder Team.

The Tedium Express

That Package(TM) has moved again. Two days after leaving California, it was back to the same depot in Illinois that it visited a full week ago. And then it made it to (the other end of) Ohio Thursday night. Looking this morning, it appears to have reached the depot that’s literally down the street from my house.

So unless it goes back to California again, I should finally have it tonight.

Tell me you know nothing about legibility…

…without telling me you know nothing about legibility:

(also, “tell me you’re desperately hoping people will mistake your derivative crap for Japanese derivative crap…”)

More Claudification

I took a YAML file of lighting/composition/angle prompt components and threw it at Claude, instructing it to break them up into categories like indoor/outdoor, day/night, portrait/natural lighting, color/black-and-white, etc, then flesh out each category in the new YAML file up to 50. It worked quite well, with a few exceptions:

• the output wasn’t valid YAML; I had to correct several indentation errors, and two cases where it started a new category at the end of a line.
• it stopped twice and asked me to press the “Continue” button, because it took too long for a single request.
• the original file had a top-level “scene” key; this was deleted, and the new file’s structure’s structure looks like “color/outdoor/day/portrait”. The dynamicprompts library needs a top-level key for organization, which is trivial to add at the top and re-indent, but more annoying is that the hierarchy would make more sense as “scene/portrait/color/outdoor/day”, which is easier to add globbing to (“scene/portrait/color/*” to get both indoor and outdoor lighting at all times of day). This is a more difficult refactoring, so I’ll throw the corrected file back at Claude and tell it to do the grunt work.

Next up will be applying the same categorization and refresh to the settings, poses, and outfits, but not until I recover from having a houseguest this week…
