I Wouldn't Let a Card on the TV Be One Pixel Off From the Real Event
August 3: the timeline was off, so I fixed it.

On August 3 I found the TV timeline was wrong. A 4:00 PM appointment showed up above the 3:05 mark, and 1:00 PM read as 12:49. The cause was code that clamped cards to make room for their neighbours and pushed them off their own time.
I removed it. A card now starts at its start time and is as wide as its duration, and nothing else changes either one. To check, I worked each card's position back to a time, and every card read its own time in both modes.
That's what the visual timeline depends on: a card sits where its time is.
