SPI#4: Now with more time
Posted on November 18th, 2022 – Be the first to commentA month and a half between posts might seem excessive but hear me out! I could’ve just posted another static map image but I’m trying to push the envelope a little bit so I thought, “Why not a video?”
Unfortunately, adding a time component introduces a whole bunch of new complications. First I had to alter my code to produce output based on a temporal sequence rather than a single point in time. After that I had to figure out how to produce composite images so that I could add things like the time/date stamp. Then I had to figure out how to actually encode the video. Following that, the clunky user interface needed to be updated in order to accommodate the new features. Then I realized that the data didn’t include any duration information so I had to figure out how to extrapolate it. And then I had to run the extrapolation routine over the whole database which took weeks, no doubt owing to my weak SQL.
Anyways, I find the first product to be kinda soothing and hypnotic and leaves me thinking about what else I could do with it. So without further adieu here’s 24 hours of all C4S calls over Halloween, each call (red dot) growing larger in diameter the longer it remains active:
show me your love to ease my mind

Actually, these combined renditions have been percolating for a while and I’ve only recently put on the finishing touches. They feature the vocal stylings of Roland Clark (?) from a track named “Show Me Your Love” (?) followed by The Supremes on “You Can’t Hurry Love”. Despite my take on The Supremes’ tune I think that you’ll find that the lyrics are (eventually) recognizable whereas I’ve had a heck of a time finding any information on Clark and his song, hence the parenthesized question marks. If you can shed any light on this vocal sample please let me know!
