Sunday 8am

Up around 7:30am after just 4 hours sleep. Was busy coding Chikn, my Chinese speller. Worked out. Feeling better. Chikn uses [ 0-9 - + x, ( )  ‘ ] to define a character’s shape. Essentially 4 related symbol groups, easy to remember. It grew out of the debacle of chi, and later improved from a side feature of SHT. Now it systematically targets the radicals and indexes 5k characters, necessary for daily reading/writing. Hope to finish it this morning as it’s straightforward. Run later.

9am, Back from my run. Feeling refreshed. Had an iced Milo for breakfast. Coding going smoothly on my pre-loved ThinkPad. Should be done before lunch. Still wearing the Q&Q moonphase quartz on Velcro.

5pm, Coding stalled on strange errors. There may not be time for Drafter tonight as Chikn takes up all my resources. Also installing a different Linux distro on my Aspire netbook. Got cleaned late. Will shower after cooking dinner. Tomorrow, out for a walk, maybe to DigiMall.

10pm, Had roast pork for dinner and a cold Milo shake for supper. I’ve been coding all day, mainly bug fixing Chikn. I may rename it chiCN which is more logical. The interface has come together well, and there are just a 2 more code blocks to write, tear-off list of all chars, and autocomplete spellings. Meanwhile, I installed Nomad BSD on my Aspire. Works quite well, needing a TP-Link wifi dongle. Hibernate doesn’t work but I like the OS / Shell, and modded XFCE desktop a lot. Cool computer to take to our new house, as it is cheap. Took my meds and half a Rivotril.

Was up earlyish and got cleaned without much trouble. Don’t have fighting spirit to complete the final bits of SeTT. 2 days ago, I realized ...
