Tuesday 13 May

Was up early. Got cleaned well. Slept again for a few hours. People singing in my head again. Not sure what they want. Will work out later at 8am. Maybe do some coding until lunch time. Workout went well. Feeling energized.

Managed to get cleaned again. I often go twice a day nowadays, as I near middle age. Submitted my book to a publisher who offers traditional contracts. My novella is so far the most unique they’ve seen but has to battle it out with (so far this year) 4 very good books by other authors. By year’s end, my book will be the 18th best written. But perhaps its uniqueness will gain me a free contract. We’ll have to wait and see.

Yet to code TeLL. Maybe after lunch. Will try to form some algorithms, not just the current simple true-false which isn’t very useful.

Took an early afternoon shower and changed. Feeling / smelling clean and fresh. Decided to try and salvage an old B string for my Kepma Mini which suffered a snap. Also will hold off making the magnetic quiver. Spent too much the past 4 weeks.

Wrote (casually) a new song in A and E. I think the last one was D and C. This one is bluesy. Will not be writing more songs until later in the year. Still can’t think of any simple algorithms for TeLL. Must remember to write on self-justification / Spirit tonight.

I've tuned Windows 11 to be more responsive and use less memory. My poor Celeron had been struggling with the memory compression that I now disabled, and I also used the ample 12GB of RAM to make a 2GB disk cache. Now my Aspire from 2018 runs much better. Downgrading to a BT 3.0 option worked wonders for my wireless Alcatroz Jellybean keyboard that was stalling on BT 5.x. Made my Windows great again!

...

Closing in on midnight and I've written a new song, making 3 in 2 days. Tim was writing with me and so was Suzannah who contributed some expression to a chord or two. I'm not sure why we were put together and given goosebumps of one another. But really, these are simple songs a kid can play and sing.

Installing Solaris wiped my Windows boot partition and getting it back is proving to be hard. I have made a recovery USB stick but it still doesn't work right. Maybe tomorrow. Took my meds.

TeLL's algorithms are just waiting to be coded in. Should be quick work tomorrow.
