Sunday 6am

Up early. Worked out partially as my ribs are still sore. Will walk later on. Want to head over to KLCC.

7am, Drank an iced Milo for breakfast. Mom hadn’t slept the whole night. Wonder why? Ran a bit to keep the sugar and cholesterol down. Couldn’t run very hard. Coding Drafter still.

9am, Got cleaned easily. Showered and changed into fresh clothes. Ready to head out this afternoon after moving the TV to our new home. Drafter is still not quite right. It should be ready tonight, late.

10am, Coding went well. Had a nice breakfast and will walk in the afternoon, not sure where. Time to brush. Later, I want to add a final feature to Drafter, treeView search via keywords + rbsej. Right now it has only keywords. So the app has:
  1. Spellchecking, word count
  2. Tagging / comments (notes)
  3. Consolidation
  4. Search (by tag)
  5. Quick chapter switch
  6. Random section insertion
All the features for a good drafting experience. Kludged down the Tk text index bug and will write a devilishly clever tag-keyword(s) search function later in the afternoon. The app must be ready today.

4pm, Raining. Can’t go out. Still thinking of the tag-keyword search algorithm. I often blunder into things that are better than my IQ. Maybe just highlight the treeView buttons of a given tag, containing one or more keywords. Also allow multiple tags (at least 2) to be searched for.

11pm, Took my meds earlier, with a sedative. Tried my best to finish Drafter but it needs tweaking to show reasonable results tho the code and UI are now firmly in place and debugged. Already time for bed. Will turn in circa midnight. Dad bled a lot in the loo and is unhappy. Charles has a funeral planned late next year due to his pancreatic cancer. Kate to follow soon, possibly. A sad time for our ‘good friends’ but every cloud has a silver lining. Why not tell the world why cancers happen the most? Why not free the bearers and whipping posts of vengeance?
