Today on Experimenting with #Tenacity: doing something naive and bypassing Tenacity's "backed bitmap" system and instead drawing directly to the screen.

Turns out that this MAY actually lead to a small improvement (in the tenths of a millisecond, judging by the Frame Statistics dialog in Tenacity itself), at least on Linux under KDE Wayland. However, Spectrogram redrawing may suffer from a performance hit, but alas, that's broken at the moment due to other reasons (not sure why, but that's usually the theme for things in Tenacity).

The next thing to do would be if maybe we could get an improvement over using a regular wxPaintDC by using wxGraphicsContext on Windows. There may still be additional time added because you'd also have to create a wxGCDC, but I'm still interested in such an experiment.

How many times will I enter the Playa del Fuego Swag Button design contest and lose before I give up submitting designs? I think this is at least my 6th try.

Palm Sunday; The King Who Came Differently

Palm Sunday is the hallmark for the beginning of the most important week in human history. This was the moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, not in secrecy, but in fulfillment of prophecy, revealing Himself as King. However, the way He came to earth challenged every expectation. Today, we are invited to examine not only who Jesus is, but whether we are truly receiving Him as He is. 📖Bible Verses “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” — Mark 11:9 “See, your […]

Faithfulness Matters More Than Speed

In a world that celebrates speed and success, God is quietly honoring something much deeper, faithfulness. 📖“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ Matthew 25:21 God is not asking you to be the fastest, He’s asking you to be faithful. In a world obsessed with results and recognition, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind. But in God’s […]

This is #Daruma, a Japanese doll based on the image of an ancient monk who supposedly meditated for so long that his legs fell off. Daruma has become an emblem of #resilience, #tenacity, and getting things done. No matter how many times you push Daruma over, he rights himself. He endures many setbacks, but he cannot be vanquished.

When you see an image of Daruma, remember: you are #free, you are stronger than you think, and you cannot be pushed around by bullies and #tyrants.

Happy (and hopefully safe) #NoKings Day.

God Leads the Humble🐑

God doesn’t guide the loud, the proud, or the self-sufficient, He leads the humble who are willing to follow. Lay down your pride, and watch how clearly His path unfolds before you. 📖He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way. Psalm 25:9 God delights in guiding the humble. Those who surrender pride and seek Him sincerely are not left wandering. Humility opens our hearts to God’s instruction and aligns our steps with His truth. When direction feels unclear, […]

Drop the Weight That’s Slowing You Down 🎒

Break free from sin, and run your race like it matters. We must understand, getting rid of our anchors will still keep us in the race. ⚓️ 📖Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us- Hebrews 12:1 There are things in our life that aren't sinful, but they are slowing us down. Just like a runner removes anything that adds unnecessary […]

God Directs the Willing

Trust, Surrender and Release! 📖Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.📖  Proverbs 3:5–6 God’s direction begins with surrender. Trusting Him fully means, releasing our need to always trying to be in control of outcomes. When you lean only on what you understand, you limit what God is able to reveal. But if you submit your plans to Him, He promises to make your path […]

You’re Not Alone in This Fight

You’re surrounded by a legacy of faith; so drop the weight, break free from sin, and run your race like it matters. We must understand, endurance isn’t optional, it's the proof you’re still in the race. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us- Hebrews 12:1 We tend to feel isolated in our struggles, but you are not alone in your […]

Track 305 — Tenacity (199th unique emotion)

The quiet refusal to stop. A cello ostinato walks through the entire piece — never stopping, never rushing. Other instruments come and go. The cello keeps walking.

C minor · 66 BPM · 2:16

One track from my 200th unique emotion.
