Wednesday 3 December

Was up early. Managed to get cleaned well. Didn't do any work last night as I was rattled by evil Kwan's 9-11 alibi wranglings, claiming somebody else made him plot terror. We're all getting hit by American young ones. Hopefully they will agree the Liew witches are the ones who hate(d) the westerners.

Found this nice tile-able stone texture bitmap (46kB) for my Ubuntu OpenBox -can be set with xsetroot and given a color as well. For the windows netbook, I chose a plain sea green so the wifi display won't lag.

Liew witches being judged by a baby and kid army. They are making all kinds of high claims.

Found out that there are circa 18 pixel patterns (sub-strokes) that can be used to identify a character. Did it by drawing them onto a square ruled notebook, thus breaking the prevention set up by the Liew witchy 6. Am confident of a finish before dinner today.

Just have to key in the indices and define whitespace and we’re done. Take an hour. Maybe wait for 4pm. Now’s almost 2pm. Liew witches fighting back. We have to press them into concrete so they won’t concentrate on our doings.

Almost finished coding. Defined the whitespace in a nested array, and it looks convincing. Seems I will meet the 4pm deadline.

Circa 5pm and the applet now doesn't find ANY matches but there are no errors either. Managed to loo okay and took a shower. Will be cooking at 6pm. Not sure what.

The clamor over 9-11 hangs thick in the air around us, many baby and kid minds pressed onto us by the escaping Liew witches. Where they can run is beyond me. There is a schism in the west over the blame for telepathic crimes which they are attempting to shift onto me, or 1 person’s fault. Obviously there will be a high turnover of scapegoats then something will go wrong.

Read https://DogBlots.blogspot.com for the ABY-I Ching analysis of today, 8a. And how it relates to LiLian, the uber witch. We must win within the next 2 days. And perhaps it involves a level of kindness and acceptance of who she is.

https://divination.com/iching/lookup/48-2/ warns us to be careful analyzing LiLian and her family as 8a is hexagram 48.

...

FastCN doesn't work well. I'm not sure where the error lies but it's not giving correct results. My harmonica is also delayed by a storm that never came. Tomorrow, we need to have our fiber disconnected as it's draining resources at the old place. Need to return all the equipment as well. Must remember to tell Dad. It would be nice to pause the connection for a specified time instead.

Took my meds and brushed. Now past midnight. Still hammering on the indices which are off mark a bit. Gradually fixing everything.

Tuesday 2 December

Was up earlyish. Feeling dazed and stumbly, achey and tender. It's definitely time for a long walk again, to get blood pumping and regulate my lived-in body. Past 7am. Will start off at 11am if possible. See if I can code / enter data for an hour before going out.

Cancer spilled onto dozens of people I know. Spent some time feeding them herbal remedies and strengthening their immune system, then choking off nourishment to those rogue cells. I still can't quite manage plotting those Chinese strokes in just 3x3. Maybe that was a mistake.

Managed to get cleaned well. Only 8am+. Have to do some healing work in the west now, instead of being a code monkey.

Took a shower. Put on the air conditioning. An hour or so before heading out. Want to walk to BB as well as KLCC. Liew witches fighting for their lives. They have evil genius and dark clairvoyant support.

It’s becoming clearer where in Daniel / Revelations we are. The bronze abdomen is beginning to divide: support Israel or the Palestinians. And we will shortly go down two thighs into the calves and feet of iron. I say ‘we’ meaning the empire of current day. As Christians and devout other faiths, we should reject the genocide, and the glorification of Zionism, reject also terrorism as well as the bullying of our brothers who believe in their Messiah. I refuse to cast stones at either side while sentiments border on the unusual and childish -weak and manipulative, and sinister.

Don’t feel like heading out much. Maybe will go to DigiMall nearby instead. There’s a sale on airPods but they’re still expensive, at 469RM. 269RM would be better. Was thinking I’d go to the park instead. Maybe after lunch. Meanwhile order something off Shopee.

I'm using an app called SpaceDesk which allows me to use my iPad 10 as a monitor for my Windows 11 (10 also) machine. Saves buying a monitor for 200RM. Now I can view / use both PCs simultaneously thru WiFi. 

...

Back from a walk thru the park with Mom. I ran a few hundred meters and am refreshed. My cousin who had growing up problems needs some advice and so does his Mom who was overprotective. The important thing is to go to Heaven, to be selected, to be God's friends thru Jesus (as I am Christian). I will try to encourage my family but they are mostly guilty of breaking people's lives all across the world, being over anxious while given telepathy by the west to punish grandpa's cheating ways. I will advise.

See DogBlots.blogSpot.com for my article on beauty and jealousy under tag 'analysis'.

Comes the time to spend a little. I have $100 to blow over the next 3 weeks. Don't have anything I really need tho.

I ordered an EastTop 2-sided harmonica in C and G. I'm not sure why it's not C and F or C and D. Maybe it will be obvious when it arrives. Looks weird tho. Hope it bends well. Anyhow it was cheap (60RM).

Showered, took my meds, brushed. Will work out at 11pm. Having fun mooting a company or non-profit organization with some friends in mindspace, based on Silly -my answer to the GPL.

Workout was good. Now well past midnight. Drank coffee to stay awake a bit more.

Monday 1 December

A new month. I'm up at 6am. Couldn't get cleaned so I took dried salt prune water like I did 2 days ago. It didn't work for Mom yesterday. She's still backed up. Wonder why it works for me?

Today, will be seeing my psychiatrist for my monthly Arip jab. Then we'll be going for lunch afterwards. Do some coding in the late afternoon. The final bits of it. Liew witches taken to striking me on my ribs, secretly giving me cancer etc. thru family and certain friends who sinned. Life is like that, I guess. When you're unpopular with kids and babies around the world.

Brushed and am waiting for the prunes to do their job. Drank more water. Hope to go by 8am or before. Debug FastCN later on.

Found the bug. There was one more I had overlooked. There are not 1x3 1x3 1x3 but 3x3 3x3 3x3 to compare. Also managed to get cleaned well despite the Liew witches’ attempts to block my laxative. They also tried to keep me awake all night last night but I took more rivotril and fell asleep easily.

...

Back from psych clinic. Jab went well. Will pick up Dad's parcel from the PO later this afternoon. Had lunch at the downtown mall. Mom wants a square pendant but it rather picky about it. 

Super hot out. Wore my Oakleys or I wouldn't have survived. Collected his Shopee buy with no hassle. Just had to wait 15 minutes as there were other customers. Tonight, Mom will be cooking dinner. Need to rehydrate. There are still recognition bugs in FastCN but it's too hot to do much work. Maybe in the evening if it rains.

The heat carries on into 7pm. Helped make a salad for dinner. Bittergourd (Indian, crinkly) and tomato with garlic and salt, vinegar, and tomato truffle sauce. The larger Indian buttergourds are less bitter.

Reordered FastCN’s stroke dictionary for easier learning. Other than that, did little work on the applet. Liew witches sensed a bad prophecy involving many things they are now proceeding to crush. Need to talk and explain a bit.

The explanation was good, and now Allen is left out on a limb for fraternizing too much with Americans who don’t trust him. Dude, you have to come home to Malaysia / Philippines(?) for safety.

Managed to get cleaned fully at last. Uncorking a wine -sorry for the analogy. Need to rehydrate more I guess. Meanwhile threats of cancer radiate round our family. As usual I am the default bearer.

Need to take my meds and shower soon. Will skip workout tonight and go walking tomorrow. Produced a chart of all characters on one page, so I can better work out the sub-strokes. Imagine just 30-something strokes can be so laborious!

Feeling fresher and more comfortable. We'll see if my digestion improves tomorrow for my trip to Kuala Lumpur. May stop at KLCC and branch out from there, get a few hours of walking in. Sun heals damaged parts, YMMV. 

Sunday 30 November

Was up earlyish. Couldn't get cleaned much, mainly gassy. Need to drink more water I think. Haven't been doing my coding. Writing a new song on guitar. The melody and lyrics are still floaty / haven't gelled but the chords are nice, just 4.

Been coding for a solid hour. Weeded out many bugs and kludges. Running fast.

Had to stop to help sweep the floor of the shoebox we live in. At 4pm to mop. Dinner will be takeout. Despite the sheer speed I'm getting from this Python script, it's got the indices all wrong and will take a while to correct. Just scanned the print outs and they are a mess.

Unfortunately, there was a blowup in the mindspaces which needed some attention but it doesn't appear people will stop their war-telepathy anytime soon. It may be incurable -something we have to live with for the rest of the birthpains years / months / weeks.

...

Just finished weekend housework. Tomorrow to collect Dad's oil from the PO nearby. Later Folks will be bringing home dinner. I finally finished that song with Tommy's help -he found a key chord mod I needed. So shortly, there will be "Spring's Early" on my Tumblr blog.

Coding is going well. I have the indices almost corrected and the new more abstract strokes plotted out. Liew witches are not happy with the prophecy unfolding. The prophecy by which they destroy music and champion heterosexuality. Can’t wait for dinner.

Dinner was good. I gave Mom a laxative drink as she’s been blocked up for 3 days (today included). Myself have been a little blocked up today. Stabbed in the ribs by the Liew witches. Rehydrated more ahead of tomorrow’s visit to my shrink. Need to wake up early, circa 6am.

Took my meds, brushed with my special gritty toothpaste and slanted bristle toothbrush, supposed to be good for healthy gums. Workout at 11pm. Wrote on Medium about December 7th -next Sunday. An interesting sutra in the ABY, 12a: day, also month, and year. There will be a powerful force of hidden power for good. Maybe thru my music too.

Worked out 11:30pm. Feeling good. Getting progressively stronger. FastCN detected its first correct characters, including some odd bracket glyphs I need to remove later. ceDict search fired up nicely afterwards. Disinfected my room with a spray bottle. Once in a while it removes germs and mild odors. Seems I just need more intelligently plotted stroke matrices and perhaps more of them strung together (by the user). The first thing it spewed out right was ⺬which really is a radical IMHO, not a character.

Closing in on midnight and I'm sleepless somehow. 

Saturday 29 November

Was constipated yesterday and this morning too. Took a salt prune + water laxative. 3 prunes, grated and 2 large glasses of water as I am 90kg. May take an hour to work.

Last night's cover re-design was good. Still feeling the good vibes from the successful graphic design which I chanced upon while pushing pixels. I didn't use a font, everything was hand drawn in GIMP.

Finally was able to get cleaned. But will wait another hour or so before heading out in case I have to go again. Prune water is a little unpredictable. Disinfected my mattress and room. Later to shower, brush. Liew witches not as powerful today. Nobody is loaning them their kids and babies, usually done for fear of blackmail / health / disfigurement attacks.

And... I am free to walk today! Will be heading out at 11am. Need to brush. The newfangled toothbrush and premium toothpaste makes me eager to clean my teeth twice every day.

Dad is buying us lunch later so I will stay home till after, then walk. Shower was good. Feeling clean, odor-free again. Room also smells fresh. Will take a break, then try to finish my Python applet.

...

Back from over an hour out, walked in the sun about 40 minutes. Also walked up stairs and a pedestrian overpass on the way home. Bought Mom a knitted octopus -yea a 3D knitted one for 28RM. She likes it. Something to brighten her day. Tomorrow, house-cleaning chores. Not to mention the parcel from Perak to self-collect nearby as the shipping was less that way. 

Took a shower. Helped diffuse a confrontation by push and pull love. Building confident relationships that are holistic unto now, later, and forever. Will take my meds at 11pm and work out thereabouts, brush too.

Talked a lot about falsafah, and how it is important to religion in general. About how God doesn’t come from thin air or from nothing. He comes from our philosophy -our world view. He exists in our nature, good and bad, to choose good. And that would be a positive outlook. We would be blessed. This is not idle talking but the product of falsafah-agama. We know God thru this relationship. It is self-explanatory. Those who fight God are cowards by nature, who doubt God are lower intelligence, who hate God are destructive. Tomorrow we shall talk more on Atheism as a function of falsafah negatif / self-destructive nihilism. Where there is no doubt, there can be no logic. Think about it!

Friday 28 November

Was up early. Unable to get cleaned, just gassy. Maybe last night's diarrhea. We'll be going to the downtown mall for lunch. Brushed, will shower at 9-10am. Don't have much mood to code, this damp and cold morning. Liew witchy forces still working the mindspaces.

Back from the mall. Didn’t get anything for myself, just a light jacket for Dad who needs to keep warm, dry. Don’t feel like coding much but FastCN has to progress. Will be more diligent and hope to see better results soon.

Trying to find a way to ignore a character in a string from being matched. Like a wildcard. Decided to use a set of indices to define the pattern of 1s. By the side, I will plot the pattern it refers to in comments. And I will use 1-7 for black pixels and 0 for pixels that must be white. There will be 3 strings in an array for each row, keyed to by the ASCII the user entered.

Liew witches admitted that the west is an invaluable friend to the east and the east, somewhat stunned by Donald, has always seen America and Europe as good for money. Liews, you were wrong and misled many unto the brink of poverty and emotional desperation. Hereby the war in mindspace will wrap up well.

…

Feeling lazy after making dinner for the folks. There is actually serious coding work to get done. Or should I say comparing work. I have to look at lotsa characters, maybe a few hundred, to determine what are unique parts that fit in with 35+ strokes. The matching code I did earlier, and it was quite easy.

DIYing a papaya picker for Dad based on a video on IG [purple papaya picker] as it doesn’t ship hereabouts. I guess it’s up to me. Bought him wood essential oil. He somehow likes polishing stuff.

I drew this in Freeform with Apple Pencil. A 3-split Coke bottle with rubber band seams. Note the out turned lip to avoid abrading the fruit. This was my original idea in the raw but it was reinforced by the PPP, mentioned above so we’re gonna try making it.

Past 11pm. Just brushed and took my meds. Thinking of heading out tomorrow on a long walk. It should be a cloudy day according to forecast. Slight chance of brief rain at noon. Will do a quick workout at 11:30pm. Seriously need to analyze the char strokes this weekend and finally release FastCN, as all the logic is in place and the data too. Next week, appointment at psych clinic for my monthly Arip jab. Looking forward to seeing my shrink again. May buy him something for Xmas as my money situation is stable this month.

Almost 2am. Feeling sleepy despite taking a cup of coffee for some odd reason. I redesigned my eBook’s cover. Looks great, see DogBlots. Also worked out earlier and am feeling good. Did some work on the stroke dicrionary as well. Finished a quarter of it. Rest is harder.

Thursday 27 November

Was up earlyish. Managed to get cleaned well. Showered and changed. Brushed. Feeling more into the groove, lately. Coding going well. It’s not a complicated applet by any stretch. Shoulda finished yesterday but my mind was hazy and pestered by vengeful western kids. This morning, more were brought in, suffering and disenchanted, under a witchy spell woven by the Liew 6.

Will be running before lunch, in 3 hours or so, just around the block and back. This weekend, a torture walk. May try to use my Garmin to navigate to Asia Jaya.

Disinfected my room, mattress particularly, otherwise vermin comes in, flies, roaches, moths, etc. This morning, the air is cool and a breeze is blowing thru my window. No bad odors.

Coding requires some thinking. Indexing issues to be finalized before tweaking the match patterns, etc.

 

Back from a brief but invigorating run. Twice a week to heal and feel better. Also one or two long walks. Will go walking on Saturday. Meanwhile FastCN is throwing some errors. Have to review the list separation code and loops. Can't believe this tiny applet took so long. Was supposed to be in beta testing by now. Put on the air conditioning to cool down.

 

More string indexing issues clogging up the search routine. I was careless with that part. At least it runs and tries to find a char, which takes a whopping 6 seconds. 2 would be better, even on this very old i5. A cause for celebration. 2 weeks of designing and coding finally produce a Python applet.

 

Nasty scare when my BT Wavekeys got hijacked -same as my air conditioner previously. Somehow it's back under my control. Maybe the guy got tired of jamming me. Mom's underwear is arriving today. Taking a break from debugging for now.

Saw some videos of opening up a garmin watch. The batteries are circa 80RM, and there’s a solvent needed to unseal the bezel-screen. You have to remove the old glue and put new glue on. Then clamp with tight rubber bands for some hours. So actually, A Garmin could potentially last until it’s fried, say in 20 years, with 160RM worth of repairs. A cost of ownership of 60RM per year which is reasonable.

It is the same cost as owning a Bambino, 60RM a year or roughly $14 /yr. But you get a lot less functionality with that option, tho more resale value if you chose the sub 40mm model which is hot and rarer, especially the coffee-cream hilited dialed versions -or were those in the Orient Star line?

…

Made pasta for dinner, for the folks. Semi vegan. Just veg and dairy, no eggs. It’s raining again, just after the delivery ninja delivered our parcel. He braved the unsettled weather just to earn enough to survive. Apparently, Malaysia will be hit by a cyclone within 48 hours. Never seen a cyclone before.

Been prevented from finishing FastCN. Will resume at 7:30pm -just sort out the indices problem. I already regenerated the file so that there is even spacing between strings of 1010s. This tweak will take maybe 10 minutes, then I will redraw the 38 strokes in the dictionary to be as abstract as possible, focusing on the uniqueness or distinctive shape of each one.

Tomorrow, will be going to the mall for lunch. Not sure which mall. We have a lot of aid money from the government to spend on necessities. Am not sure what to say about aid distribution, looking at how some are suffering. Yea, seems unfair.

Also on the issues table is women’s problems. The oldest trade is selling the beauty of women. The second  oldest trade is jealousy. Together, this formed the economy even until modern times. Yea, money is the result of the above and by and large politics, which are economics moderated by Faith / religion. Love of money naturally leads to enemies and to diseases. All luxuries are a love of money. But in these times, we need luxuries, superlative professional products, to earn money, superlative skills and plenty of flesh. 

Such as I own an iPad 10. And my Garmin E. The only way to fight the love of money is to be charitable, there is no other way. And as for being labeled a tempter, a sinner, know that as I said,

Only the wise are tempted, the others are temptations as surely they will be forgiven.

So be you self-controlled. It is a virtue that breeds confidence in showing love, and leadership among men. It is a virtue that leads to being taken good care of by the Most High.

...

Had diarrhea for some reason. Found out how to fill the cistern faster, using the hose. Shower soon. FastCN produced too many results. Need to limit it somehow and / or be more specific. At least it's searching the data file fully now that I corrected the string indices.

Taking a shower soon. I can't fix the app tonight. Hopefully the fix is easy as changing the stroke matching arrays. But soon it will be 10pm and I have to sleep early tonight.

Sprayed my room with diluted disinfectant. Particularly my chair (piano bench) and mattress (where I lie on most of the day). So far no more flies attracted to my room and its occasional odors. Kills germs too. Just need a little of the stuff, and quite a lot more water. I have it in a small spray bottle.

Time for meds and to brush. Sadly I can't finish coding tonight. May skip my workout and do it tomorrow during the day.

I got 21 reads on Medium and there are still 3 days left in the month. And my Sci-Fi story was rejected. I've come to accept I'm not much of a writer. Maybe I will quit trying that. Call me slow, but I haven't figured out what I want to be yet. What I excel at. Heading over to DogBlots now.
